Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
I hiùraibh o, chan eil mi slàn
|
I hiuraibh o, I am not well
|
|
Hug òrainn o, chan fhaod mi tàmh
|
Hug orainn o, I cannot be at rest
|
|
I hiùraibh o, chan eil mi slàn
|
I hiuraibh o, I am not well
|
|
|
|
|
'S muladach a' buain an lìn mi
|
Sad I am harvesting the flax
|
|
'S deòir mo chinn a' ruith gu làr
|
With my tears falling to the ground
|
|
|
|
|
Dhòmhnaill Ghuirm ma rinn thu m'eucoir
|
Though you did me an injustice, Donald Gorm
|
|
Bha mi dhuit mar thè do chàch
|
I treated you like any of the other women would
|
|
|
|
|
Bha mi dhuit mar do phiuthar
|
I treated you as your sister would
|
|
Mun robh mi tuilleadh 's na b'fheàrr
|
Perhaps even better
|
|
|
|
|
'S truagh nach robh mi'n riochd na faoileig'
|
It's a shame that I wasn't like a seagull
|
|
'S aotrom dhèanainn air an t-snàmh
|
Swimming gently
|
|
|
|
|
Dealachadh ri Iain is Dòmhnall
|
Separating from Ian and Donald
|
|
A leag mo dheòir le cion-fàth
|
My tears flowing for a reason
|
|
|
|
|
Beannachd Dhé bhi agad Eachainn
|
God's blessing with you, Hector
|
|
Bu tu mo roghainn thar chàich
|
You would be my choice above all
|
|
|
|
|
Bidh mi nisde triall romham
|
There is now a journey before me
|
|
Is deòir mo chinn a' ruith gu làr
|
And my tears flowing to the ground
|
