Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Ho ro 's toigh leam fhìn thu
|
Horo, I do love you
|
|
A rìbhinn as bòidhche
|
Most beautiful maiden
|
|
'S an gaol a thug mi fhìn dhuit
|
The love that I gave you
|
|
Cha dhìobrainn air òr e
|
I wouldn't forsake for gold
|
|
Ho ro 's toigh leam fhìn thu
|
Horo, I do love you
|
|
|
|
|
Gu'n d'thug mi gion 'us gràdh dhuit
|
I gave to you great love
|
|
A Mhàiri nighean Dòmhnaill
|
Mary, daughter of Donald
|
|
'S na'm faighinn toil do chàirdean
|
If I had your family's permission
|
|
Gun dàil dhèanainn pòsadh
|
I would marry you without delay
|
|
|
|
|
'S na'm faighinn toil do chàirdean
|
If I had your family's permission
|
|
Gun dàil dhèanainn pòsadh
|
I would marry you without delay
|
|
Na'm faighinn cead na cléire
|
With the permission of the clergy
|
|
'S tu-fhéin a bhi deònach
|
And yourself to be willing
|
|
|
|
|
Toil d'athair is do mhàthair
|
The permission of your father and your mother
|
|
'S do chàirdean mar chòmhla
|
And your family with them
|
|
'S gu'n cluinntemaid 'gar n-eubhach
|
And we'd hear our bans called
|
|
'S an teampull Di-dòmhnaich
|
In the church on Sunday
|
|
|
|
|
'S gu'n cluinntemaid 'gar n-eubhach
|
And we'd hear our bans called
|
|
'S an teampull Di-dòmhnaich
|
In the church on Sunday
|
|
'S chuireamaid an cruaidh-shnaoim
|
And we'd tie a tight knot
|
|
Nach fhuasgail na meòirean
|
That fingers could not loosen
|
|
|
|
|
O ciamar bheirinn fuath dhuit
|
Oh how could I dislike you
|
|
'S tu luaidh nam ban òga
|
You are the most dear of the young women
|
|
Troigh chuimir am bròig ùir thu
|
With feet so shapely in new shoes
|
|
Nach lùbadh am feòirnean
|
That they won't bend the blades of grass
|
|
|
|
|
Troigh chuimir am bròig ùir thu
|
With feet so shapely in new shoes
|
|
Nach lùbadh am feòirnean
|
That they won't bend the blades of grass
|
|
'S mur dèan mi do bhuannachd
|
And if I don't win you
|
|
'S i 'n uaigh m'àite còmhnuidh
|
The grave will be my resting place
|
