|
|
|
Cheart cho luath 's a dh'imich thu
|
As soon as you emigrated
|
|
'S an tir shuas gu'n d'innis iad
|
They spoke of it all over the land
|
|
'S ged bha do ghaol mar theine dhomh
|
And although your love was like a fire within me
|
|
Cha 'n fhaiceadh cach mi sileadh leis
|
I would not let others see how much it affects me
|
|

Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
'S olc a dh'fhag an uiridh mi
|
Last year left me feeling very poorly
|
|
An uiridh, 'n uiridh, 'n uiridh mi
|
It was last year, last year, last year
|
|
'S olc a dh'fhag an uiridh mi
|
Last year left me feeling very poorly
|
|
An uiridh dh'fhalbh an gille uam
|
Last year my beloved went from me
|
|
|
|
|
'S e thug dhomhs' sud iomrachadh
|
What has made me mention this
|
|
Eagal mo chliu a mhilleadh leis
|
Is the fear of my reputation being spoiled
|
|
'S ged bheirinn eibh a chluinneadh tu
|
And supposing I gave a long shout you could hear
|
|
Gu 'm faiceadh cach nach pilleadh tu
|
It'd be obvious to others that you'd not return
|
|
|
|
|
Nis o'n chaidh thu as an tir
|
Now that you've gone from this land
|
|
'S iad do dhaoin' a 's fine liom
|
Your people are the ones I think most of
|
|
Gur h-e do ghaol is tinne dhomh
|
Your love is what is most important to me
|
|
'S do chliu o chach a 's binne liom
|
And to hear your praises from others is sweetest to me
|
