|
|
Bliadhn' mun àm sa dh'fhalbh
|
A year ago my heart's love left me
|
|
Fada bhuam rùn mo chrìdh'
|
For faraway places
|
|
Gus an cuairtich e an saoghal
|
He'll never return
|
|
Cha bhi dùil ris air ais anns an tìr
|
Until he sees the wide world around
|
|
Nuair a chì mis' e rithist
|
When I'll see my love coming
|
|
Nach mi nì an ogag 's an gaol
|
I'll give him all my love
|
|
Le pòg na blas mil
|
And smother him with honey kisses
|
|
O Jimmy mo mhìle stòr
|
Jimmy mo mhíle stór
|
|
|
|
|
Bidh mo mhàthair 's m' athair
|
My father and mother
|
|
A' gearain 's a' trod rium a' strì
|
They never can give me ease
|
|
Tha mi sgìth 's mi claoidhte
|
I'm tired and fed up
|
|
'S mi searbh 's mo bheatha gun sìth
|
And tormented with this life
|
|
Thug mi gaol dhan fhear fhlathail
|
I gave my love to the fairest
|
|
Gun iarraidh thug mise dha pòg
|
Without asking I kissed him
|
|
'S chaidh esan a sheòladh
|
And he went off to sea
|
|
O Jimmy mo mhìle stòr
|
Jimmy mo mhíle stór
|
|
|
|
|
Thig mise dhan choille
|
I'll go to the woods
|
|
'S caithidh mi ann cuid mhath dhem shaogh'l
|
And spend there all of my time
|
|
Gun ghuth ann ri chluinntinn
|
With no one around
|
|
Ach ceòl binn bho cheileireadh eòin
|
Listening to birdsong
|
|
Aig cas nan craobh chaorainn
|
Beaneath the rowan tree
|
|
Far 'eil fhùraichean fàs ann gu leòr
|
With flowers aplenty there
|
|
Thug mi ghaol dhan fhear fhlathail
|
Giving love to the most heavenly
|
|
O Jimmy mo mhìle stòr
|
To Jimmy mo mhíle stór
|
