Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Na hù o hi, na hù o hò
|
Na hu o hi, na hu o ho
|
|
Hu o ù o eile
|
Hu o u o eile
|
|
Na hù o hi, na hù o hò
|
Na hu o hi, na hu o ho
|
|
Nach truagh leat mi 's tu 'n Èirinn
|
You don't care much for me while you're in Ireland
|
|
|
|
|
'S ann their iad rium on chaidh thu null
|
They say to me since you went over
|
|
Gum bi thu tric aig fèilltean
|
That you are often at fairs
|
|
'S gum bi thu cuspaireachd le mùirn
|
And that you talk lovingly
|
|
Ri Màili ruadh an Èirinn
|
To red-haired Màili in Ireland
|
|
|
|
|
Ged sheòladh tu air feadh a' chuain
|
Although you were to sail all over the ocean
|
|
'S ged ruigeadh tu an Èiphit
|
And although you would reach Egypt
|
|
Cha thrèiginn thu air sgàth do chliù
|
I would not forsake you because of your reputation
|
|
'S cha toirinn gèill do bhreugan
|
And I would not heed lies
|
|
|
|
|
O nach robh agam sgiathan caol
|
Oh had I slender wings
|
|
Gun siùbhlainn thar na slèibhtean
|
To travel over the mountains
|
|
Gu seinninn-sa mo dhuanag gaoil
|
I would sing my love ditty
|
|
Ri fear tha tàmh an Èirinn
|
To one who lives in Ireland
|
