Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Ò a iù nach till thu Dhòmhnaill?
|
Ò a iù will you not return Donald?
|
|
Ò a hì nach till thu Dhòmhnaill?
|
Ò a hì will you not return Donald?
|
|
Ò a iù nach till thu Dhòmhnaill?
|
Ò a iù will you not return Donald?
|
|
|
|
|
Có thachair rium ach Dòmhnall
|
Whom did I happen upon but Donald
|
|
|
|
|
Thòisich sinn air beadradh spòrsail
|
We began to flirt playfully
|
|
|
|
|
Thànaig am beadradh dhuinn gu dòruinn
|
Our flirting came to grief
|
|
|
|
|
Bhagair e mo léin' a shròiceadh
|
He threatened to tear my shift to shreds
|
|
|
|
|
Chuir e falt mo chinn fo bhrògan
|
He trampled the hair of my head under his shoes
|
|
|
|
|
Thug e sgian bheag às a phòcaid
|
He took a small knife from his pocket
|
|
|
|
|
Cha b'e siod a gheall thu Dhòmhnaill
|
That wasn't what you promised me Donald
|
|
|
|
|
Ach réiteach agus banais 's pòsadh
|
But instead a betrothal, marriage banquet and wedding
|
|
|
|
|
Là dhomh 's mi 'siubhal a' mhonaidh
|
One day as I rambled the moor
|
