|
|
Chì mi'n toman caorann cuileann
|
I see the hillock of the rowan and holly
|
|
Chì mi'n toman caorann thall
|
I see the hillock of the rowan and yonder
|
|
Chì mi'n toman caorann cuileann
|
I see the hillock of the rowan and holly
|
|
Laogh mo chèil' air uilinn ann
|
And my beloved resting on his elbow there
|
|
|
|
|
Cha tèid mise 'chrò nan caorach
|
I'll not go to the sheep fold
|
|
Cha tèid mise 'chrò nan uan
|
I'll not go to the lamb fold
|
|
Cha tèid mise 'chrò nan laoighean
|
I'll not go to the calf fold
|
|
O nach eil mo ghaol ud ann
|
Since my love is not there
|
|
|
|
|
Chì mi mo thriùir bhraithrean seachad
|
I see my three brothers passing
|
|
Air an loma luath
|
In a great rush
|
|
Sgeinean beag air bhàrr an uilinn
|
Small knives in the crooks of their arms
|
|
Fuil mo ghaoil a'sileadh uap'
|
And my love's blood dripping from them
|
|
|
|
|
Ach nam b'aithne dhòmhs' an rathad
|
But if I knew the road
|
|
Gu bean-taighe an fhuilt bhàin
|
To the fair-haired woman's house
|
|
Dh'innseadh i mu èirigh grèine
|
She would tell before sunrise
|
|
Nach b'e fuil an fhèidh a bh'ann
|
That it was not the blood of the deer
|
|
|
|
|
Chì mi'n toman caorann cuileann
|
I see the hillock of the rowan and holly
|
|
Chì mi'n toman caorann thall
|
I see the hillock of the rowan and yonder
|
|
Chì mi'n toman caorann cuileann
|
I see the hillock of the rowan and holly
|
|
Laogh mo chèil' air uilinn ann
|
And my beloved resting on his elbow there
|
