Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
O ho ao ri ri o ho
|
O ho ao ri ri o ho
|
|
Hi ri o ho ro hu o
|
Hi ri o ho ro hu o
|
|
O ho ao ri ri o ho
|

|
|
|
|
|
'S mi air tulaich na buaile
|
On the mound of the cowfold
|
|
|
|
|
Cha d' fhuair mi an-raoir cadal
|
Last night I was sleepless
|
|
|
|
|
Air an leabaidh, 's mi 'm ònar
|
On my bed and lonely
|
|
|
|
|
'S mi 'g ionndrainn mo leannain
|
For my lover I was longing
|
|
|
|
|
Fleasgaich, fearail, ciùin, eòlach
|
A youth wise, calm and manly
|
|
|
|
|
Fear a' chinne Mhic Cailein
|
Of the race of Mac Cailein
|
|
|
|
|
Thig o thalla nan ròiseal
|
From the hall of the banners
|
|
|
|
|
Ach a Ruairi, 's a Ruairi
|
But Rory, oh Rory
|
|
|
|
|
Na creid gun tuirt mise
|
Don't believe that I told them
|
|
|
|
|
Gun gibhtinn mo ghruagach
|
That I'd not give up my maiden
|
|
|
|
|
Cha ghibhtinn 's cha gheallainn
|
I'd not give her, nor promise
|
|
|
|
|
'S cha mhalairtinn uam i
|
Nor would I exchange her
|
|
|
|
|
Cha tugainn air òr i
|
For gold I'd not give her
|
|
|
|
|
No air chòrn an t-sròil uaine
|
Nor for roll of green satin
|
|
|
|
|
'S mi air thì bhith 'ga faire
|
Intently I watch her
|
|
|
|
|
Mum mealladh fear uam i
|
Lest anyone lure her from me
|
