|
|
|
|
Chi mi soitheach air a' chuan
|
I see a ship on the ocean
|
|
Gur fada bhuam a' sheòlas i
|
Far from me it's sailing
|
|
|

|
Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Hug hoirionn o, ro huiribh o
|
Hug hoirionn o, ro huiribh o
|
|
Gur e mo rùn an Dòmhnallach
|
My love is the MacDonald man
|
|
Hug hoirionn o, ro huiribh o
|
Hug hoirionn o, ro huiribh o
|
|
|
|
|
'Se mo leannan tha ga stiùireadh
|
It is my sweetheart who is steering
|
|
'Sneachd' air chùl a dhòrnannan
|
With the snow coating the backs of his fists
|
|
|
|
|
I air luchdachadh gu trom
|
It is heavy-laden
|
|
Air bhàrr nan tonn a sheòlas i
|
And sails on the crest of the waves
|
|
|
|
|
Air a luchdachadh le sìoda
|
Laden with silk
|
|
Lìonmhor pìos tha dhòmhsa dheth
|
A good part of it is for me
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist 2x)
|
(Chorus 2x)
|
|
|
|
|
Cha tèid mise thaigh an dannsa
|
I won't go to the dance-hall
|
|
Teann a bhios an ceòl orm
|
The music will affect me too much
|
|
|
|
|
Cha tèid mise 'thaigh an luaidh
|
I won't go to the milling house
|
|
Cha bhi mo luaidh ri òran ann
|
Since my lover won't be singing songs there
|
|
|
|
|
Muladach mi 'dìreadh bruthach
|
Sad I am climbing the hillside
|
|
'S gun mo phiuthar còmhla rium
|
And my sister not with me
|
|
|
|
|
Muladach mi tighinn gu baile
|
Sad I am coming to town
|
|
'S gun mo leannan còmhla rium
|
And my sweetheart not with me
|
