Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
A Mhàiri bhòidheach 's a Mhàiri ghaolach
|
Oh beautiful Mary, darling Mary
|
|
A Mhàiri bhòidheach gur mòr mo ghaol ort
|
Oh beautiful Mary, my love for you is vast
|
|
A Mhàiri bhòidheach gur tu a chlaoidh mi
|
Oh beautiful Mary, you tormented me
|
|
'S a dh'fhàg mi brònach gun dòigh air t' fhaotainn
|
And left me unhappy with no means of winning your affection
|
|
|
|
|
A Mhàiri bhòidheach gur mòr mo ghaol ort
|
Oh beautiful Mary, my love for you is great
|
|
Gur tric mi 'cuimhneachadh ort 's mi m'ònar
|
I often think of you when I'm alone
|
|
Ged a shiubhlainn gach ceum dhe'n t-saoghal
|
Although I should travel the world over
|
|
Bidh t' iomhaigh bòidheach 'tighinn beò gach taobh dhiom
|
I will see your living image at every turn
|
|
|
|
|
'S truagh nach robh mi 's mo Mhàiri bhòidheach
|
It's a pity that beautiful Mary and I weren't
|
|
Ann an gleannan faoin 's ceò air
|
In the little, lonely, mist covered glen
|
|
Ged bu rìgh mi 's an Roinn-Eòrpa
|
Although I should rule all Europe
|
|
Chan iarrainn pòg ach o Mhàiri bhòidheach
|
My only desire would be a kiss from beautiful Mary
|
|
|
|
|
Ach chìthear féidh air sgéith 's na speuran
|
Deer will be seen flying across the skies
|
|
'S chìthear iasg air àird nan sléibhtean
|
Fish will be found high on mountain slopes
|
|
Chìthear sneachda dubh air gheugan
|
And black snow will be seen on tree branches
|
|
Mum faicear caochladh tighinn air mo spéis dhut
|
Before my love for you will ever change
|
|
|
|
|
Guma slàn dha mo Mhàiri bhòidheach
|
All the best for my beautiful Mary
|
|
Ge b'e àite 's am bidh i 'chòmhnaidh
|
Wherever she may dwell
|
|
'Se mo dhùrachd cho fad 's is beò mi
|
As long as I live, my wish is
|
|
Gum bidh gach sòlas aig Màiri bhòidheach
|
That she will have every happiness
|
