Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Ma bhios tu fo mhulad
|
If you are unhappy
|
|
Gràdhaichidh mi thu
|
I will love you
|
|
Gràdhaichidh mi thu, mo leanabh
|
I will love you, my child
|
|
|
|
|
Fhad 's tha thu fhathast a' laighe nam phòg
|
While you are still lying in my embrace
|
|
Seinn òran fìorghlan
|
Sing a pure song
|
|
Mus tig creach nad bhinneas òg
|
Before your young melody is tainted
|
|
Seinn o mo naoidhean
|
Sing, my little one
|
|
|
|
|
Fhad 's tha thu fhathast gun imcheist
|
While you are still without distraction
|
|
Èist ri na guthan sèimh
|
Listen to the soft voices
|
|
Mus teich thu bhon fhear chagarsach
|
Before you turn from those who whisper
|
|
Èist o mo leanabh
|
Listen, my child
|
|
|
|
|
Fhad 's tha thu fhathast gun fiatachd
|
Until you learn modesty
|
|
Danns ann an earbsa
|
Dance with confidence
|
|
Mus fhàs do cheum trom le mì-thlachd
|
Before your steps grow heavy with resentment
|
|
Danns o mo phàiste
|
Dance, my child
|
|
|
|
|
Fhad 's tha thu fhathast saor bho dhìth
|
While you are still without want
|
|
Caidil gu sèimh
|
Sleep peacefully
|
|
Is gabh gach gealladh 's gràs bhom chridh'
|
And take every promise and blessing from my heart
|
|
Caidil o mo leanabh
|
Sleep, my child
|
