|
|
|
Nach truagh leat mi 's mi 'm prìosan
|
Do you not pity me, as I'm in prison
|
|
Mo Mhaili bheag òg?
|
My little young Molly?
|
|
|
|
|
Nach truagh leat mi 's mi 'm prìosan
|
Do you not pity me, as I'm in prison
|
|
Mo Mhaili bheag òg?
|
My little young Molly?
|
|
Do chàirdean a' cur binn orm
|
Your friends are condemning me
|
|
Mo chuid dhe 'n t-saoghal thu
|
You, my whole world
|
|
A bhean na mala mìne
|
Oh woman of the smooth eyebrows
|
|
'S na pògan mar na fìogais
|
And kisses as sweet as figs
|
|
'S tu nach fhàgadh shìos mi
|
You would not degrade me
|
|
Le mi-rùn do bheòil
|
With malice from your mouth
|
|
|
|
|
Di Dòmhnaich anns a' ghleann dhuinn
|
It was on Sunday as we rode through the glen
|
|
Mo Mhaili bheag òg
|
My little young Molly
|
|
Nuair a thòisich mi ri cainnt riut
|
That I began conversing with you
|
|
Mo chuid dhe 'n t-saoghal mhòr
|
All that I have on earth
|
|
Nuair a dh'fhosgail mi mo shùilean
|
When I opened my eyes
|
|
'S a sheall mi air mo chùlaibh
|
And looked over my shoulder
|
|
Bha marcaich' nan each crùdhach
|
The riders on shoed horses
|
|
'Tighinn dlùth air mo thòir
|
Were drawing near in my pursuit
|
|
|
|
|
'S mis' a bh'air mo bhuaireadh
|
I became confounded
|
|
Mo Mhaili bheag òg
|
My little young Molly
|
|
Nuair thànaig sluagh mun cuairt dhuinn
|
When we were surrounded by a host
|
|
Mo ribhinn ghlan ùr
|
My innocent, young girl
|
|
Is truagh anns an uair sin
|
It's a pity that my arm
|
|
Nach do thuit mo làmh o m'ghualainn
|
Did not then fall from my shoulder
|
|
Mun d'amais mi do bhualadh
|
Before I happened to strike you with a sword blow
|
|
Mo Mhaili bheag òg
|
My little young Molly
|
|
|
|
|
Gur bòidhche leam a dh'fhàs thu
|
You have grown to be lovelier
|
|
Mo Mhaili bheag òg
|
My little young Molly
|
|
Na 'n lilì anns an fhàsach
|
Than the wild meadow's lily
|
|
Mo chiad ghràdh 's mo rùn
|
My first love and darling
|
|
Mar aiteal caoin na gréineadh
|
In your hue and form
|
|
Am madainn chiùin ag éirigh
|
You were like a soft ray of sunshine
|
|
B'e siud do dhreach 's t'eugais
|
On a still morning
|
|
Mo Mhaili bheag òg
|
My little young Molly
|
