Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Tha mo bhreacan-sa fo'n dìle
|
My plaid is black from the rain
|
|
Cha'n fhaod mi innse mar tha e
|
I cannot tell how it is
|
|
Tha mo bhreacan-sa fo'n dìle
|
My plaid is black from the rain
|
|
|
|
|
Tha mo bhreacan gu fluich, fuarraidh
|
My plaid is wet and musty
|
|
Cha ghabh e cur suas am maireach
|
I cannot wear it tomorrow
|
|
|
|
|
Tha mo bhreacan gu fliuch salach
|
My plaid is wet and dirty
|
|
Cha'n fhaod mi fuireach ri fhàsgadh
|
I cannot take the time to wring it out
|
|
|
|
|
Tha mo bhreacan air a mhilleadh
|
My plaid has been ruined
|
|
Aig na gillean anns' a bhàta
|
By the lads in the boat
|
|
|
|
|
Bidh mi 'maireach 'dol a sheòladh
|
Tomorrow, I will be sailing
|
|
Cha'n ann air m'eòlais a tha mi
|
It's not on known territory I'll be
|
|
|
|
|
'Dol a dh'eilean nan eòin fiadhaich
|
Going to the isle of the wild birds
|
|
Cha robh duine riamh a'tamh ann
|
Where no one ever lived
|
|
|
|
|
'Dol a dh'eilean nan eun dubha
|
Going to the isle of the black birds
|
|
Cha bhidh mi subhach no sàmhach
|
I will not be happy or quiet
|
|
|
|
|
Thoir mo shoraidh do Ghleann-Lochaidh
|
Take my farewell to Glen Lochy
|
|
Far an robh mi òg gu'm àrach
|
Where I was raised in my youth
|
|
|
|
|
Far am faighte gruagach bhòidheach
|
Where you would find lovely maidens
|
|
'G iomain bhò gu bealach àiridh
|
Driving cattle to the sheiling passes
|
|
|
|
|
'Tha na nighneagan 'an gruaim rium
|
The girls are annoyed with me
|
|
Bho'n a fhuair mi'n còta-sgàrlaid
|
Since I got the red coat
|
|
|
|
|
Fhuair mi paidhir bhrògan ùra
|
I got a pair of new shoes
|
|
Boineid dhubh-ghorm 'us coc àrd innt'
|
A blue-black bonnet with a tall cockade in it
|
