|
|
A mach air bharr nan stuadh ri gaillionn
|
Out on top of the tempest's crest
|
|
Fuachd is feannadh fad 'o thìr
|
Cold so bitter to skin alive
|
|
Tha mo ghaol dhuit daònan fallainn
|
My love for you is constant and healthy
|
|
Ged is Maighdinn mhara mì
|
Though 'tis a mermaid that I am
|
|

Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Hùbha i 's na horaibh hùbhaidh
|
Hùbha i 's na horaibh hùbhaidh
|
|
Hùbha i 's na horaibh hì
|
Hùbha i 's na horaibh hì
|
|
Hùbha i 's na horaibh hùbhaidh
|
Hùbha i 's na horaibh hùbhaidh
|
|
'S ann le foill a mheall thu mì
|
It was with guile that you cheated me
|
|
|
|
|
Chaneil mo chadal-sa ach luaineach
|
My sleep is sporadic
|
|
'Nuair bhios buaireas air an tìd'
|
When the ocean's in turmoil
|
|
Bha mi 'n raoir an Coirre Bhreacainn
|
Last night I spent in Corry Vreckan
|
|
'S bi mi nochd an Eilean I
|
And tonight it's in Iona that I'll be
|
|
|
|
|
Seall is faic an grunnd na fairge
|
Look and see on the ocean's floor
|
|
Uamhan airgiod 's òr gun dìth
|
Endless caves of silver and gold
|
|
Lainnearachd chan fhaca sùil e
|
Such glittering beheld by no one
|
|
Ann an cuirt no lùchairt righ
|
Even in the courts or palace of kings
|
