|
|
Ho ro 's toigh leam fhìn thu
|
Ho ro how I love you
|
|
A rìbhinn as bòidhche
|
Most beautiful maiden
|
|
'S an gaol a thug mi fhìn dhuit
|
And the love that I myself gave to you
|
|
Cha dhìobrainn air òr e
|
I would not abandon for gold
|
|
Ho ro 's toigh leam fhìn thu
|
Horo, I do love you
|
|
|
|
|
Gu'n d'thug mi gion 'us gràdh dhuit
|
I gave you fondness and love
|
|
A Mhàiri nighean Dòmhnuill
|
Mary, daughter of Donald
|
|
'S na'm faighinn toil do chàirdean
|
And if I could get the acceptance of your relations
|
|
Gun dàil dhèanainn pòsadh
|
I would marry without delay
|
|
Ho ro 's toigh leam fhìn thu
|
Horo, I do love you
|
|
|
|
|
'S na'm faighinn toil do chàirdean
|
And if I could get the acceptance of your relations
|
|
Gun dàil dhèanainn pòsadh
|
I would marry without delay
|
|
Na'm faighinn cead na clèire
|
If I could get the session's permission
|
|
'S tu-fhèin a bhi deònach
|
And your own willingness
|
|
Ho ro 's toigh leam fhìn thu
|
Horo, I do love you
|
|
|
|
|
Toil d' athair is do mhàthair
|
Your mother's and your father's wishes
|
|
'S do chàirdean mar chòmhla
|
And all your relations together
|
|
'S gu'n cluinntemaid 'gar n-eubhach
|
And our banns would be called
|
|
'S an teampull Di-dòmhnaich
|
In the temple on Sunday
|
|
Ho ro 's toigh leam fhìn thu
|
Horo, I do love you
|
|
|
|
|
'S gu'n cluinntemaid 'gar n-eubhach
|
And our banns would be called
|
|
'S an teampull Di-dòmhnaich
|
In the temple on Sunday
|
|
'S chuireamaid an cruaidh-shnaoim
|
And we would tie the tight knot
|
|
Nach fhuasgail na meòirean
|
That could never be opened by fingers
|
|
Ho ro 's toigh leam fhìn thu
|
Horo, I do love you
|
|
|
|
|
O ciamar bheirinn fuath dhuit
|
Oh how could I hate you
|
|
'S tu luaidh nam ban òga
|
You're the darling of young women
|
|
Troigh chuimir am bròig ùir thu
|
Your foot so neat in new shoes
|
|
Nach lùbadh am feòirnean
|
That they wouldn't bend the grass
|
|
Ho ro 's toigh leam fhìn thu
|
Horo, I do love you
|
|
|
|
|
Troigh chuimir am bròig ùir thu
|
Your foot so neat in new shoes
|
|
Nach lùbadh am feòirnean
|
That they wouldn't bend the grass
|
|
'S mur dèan mi do bhuannachd
|
And if I don't win you
|
|
'S i'n uaigh m' àite còmhnuidh
|
The grave is my resting place
|
|
Ho ro 's toigh leam fhìn thu
|
Horo, I do love you
|
