|
'Nad shuidhe 'nad aonar
|
Sitting in your loneliest
|
|
'Na suidhe le d' smaointean
|
Sitting with your thoughts
|
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
|
'Ga cuimhneachadh
|
Remembering her
|

Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Hi ho ru bha ho
|
Hi ho ru bha ho
|
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
|
'S na hi ho ru bha ho
|
'S na hi ho ru bha ho
|
|
|
|
|
'S na latha ciùin is gun bhròn
|
And that calm untroubled time
|
|
'N uair a bha Adhamh òg
|
When Adam was young
|
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
|
Gun bhean is gun chlann
|
Without wife or child
|
|
|
|
|
Ach a thainig i na luime
|
But naked she came
|
|
Is ghlac i fhuil
|
And captured his blood
|
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
|
A chainnt is a chrann
|
His reason and his plough
|
|
|
|
|
'Na shuidhe 'nad eòlas
|
Sitting in your own knowledge
|
|
'Nad shuidhe le d' sgleothan
|
Sitting with your dimming vision
|
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
|
'Ga cuimhneachadh
|
Remembering her
|
|
|
|
|
'S an Gadaiche Dubh
|
And the Black Thief
|
|
Leis a charaid furtachail
|
With his supporting friend
|
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
|
Boban Saor
|
The legendary Carpenter
|
|
|
|
|
Is fhuair e bean choir
|
He was given an honest wife
|
|
Bho ar stor
|
From our store
|
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
|
Is bha i maoth
|
And she was gentle
|
|
|
|
|
Nisde ni iad a' gaire
|
Now they laugh
|
|
A' creids gu robh iad nar sgail
|
Believing they were in our shade
|
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
|
Bho'n a cheud latha
|
From the first day
|
|
|
|
|
Ach de tha sinn a' leantainn
|
But what are we following?
|
|
Tha Boban Saor 'nad inntinn
|
Boban Saor is in your mind
|
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
|
Is doch' anns a' cheud tuil
|
And he was in the first blood
|
|
|
|
|
Ach tha muinntir chordaidh
|
There are many virtuous folk
|
|
Aig cul an dorais
|
Behind the door
|
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro
|
|
Is tha e fuar a-muigh
|
And it is cold out
|
