Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Hiuraibh o, ghràidh an tig thu?
|
Hiuraibh o, darling, will you come?
|
|
Hiuraibh o, an tig thu, 'ghràidh?
|
Hiuraibh o, will you come, darling?
|
|
Hiuraibh o, an tig thu'm bliadhna?
|
Hiuraibh o, darling, will you come?
|
|
Nan tig thu gu siorraidh bràth?
|
Will you ever come?
|
|
|
|
|
Mo chùl ri beanntan na Hearadh
|
My back to the mountains of Harris
|
|
M'aghaidh ri fearann na Pairc'
|
My face towards the Park lands
|
|
Cianalas a' tigh'nn air m'aire
|
A longing has come over over me
|
|
'S gaol mo leannain a' dol bàs
|
And my sweetheart's love is fading
|
|
|
|
|
Chunnaic mis' thu as mo chadal
|
I saw you in my sleep
|
|
A' tigh'nn dhachaigh às a' bhlàr
|
Coming home from battle
|
|
Le do chlaidheamh caol a'lasadh
|
With your slender sword shining
|
|
Cha b'ann gam' iarraidh-sa bha
|
But you weren't looking for me
|
|
|
|
|
Nam biodh dùil ri do litir
|
If I expected your letter
|
|
Air an t-Sheila oidhche Mhàirt
|
To arrive on board the Sheila on Tuesday evening
|
|
'S mi nach sgriobhadh sios le ionca
|
I would not write in ink
|
|
Fuil mo chridhe, 'si bu bhlàith'
|
But in the blood of my heart, for it'd be warmer
|
