Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
A Dhòmhnaill bhig o hù o hò
|
Oh little Donald, o hu o ho
|
|
A Dhòmhnaill bhig o hù o hò
|
Oh little Donald, o hu o ho
|
|
A Dhòmhnaill bhig o hù o hò
|
Oh little Donald, o hu o ho
|
|
Tha m'inntinn trom o'n dhealaich sinn
|
My mind is sad since we parted
|
|
A Dhòmhnaill bhig o hù o hò
|
Oh little Donald, o hu o ho
|
|
|
|
|
A Dhòmhnaill bhig 's tu m'ùidh is m'annsachd
|
Oh little Donald, you are my interest and my loved one
|
|
'S i do bhlàthshuil grian mo shamhraidh
|
Your warm eyes are the sun of my summer
|
|
Chlaon gach ni gu duibhre geamhraidh
|
Everything changed to the darkness of winter
|
|
Bho'n a chaill mi sealladh ort
|
Since I lost sight of you
|
|
|
|
|
Dh'fhàg mi'n diugh thu fhèin 's do mhàthair
|
Today I left you and your mother
|
|
As mo dhèidh ro chianail, cràiteach
|
After me, very sad and depressed
|
|
Cruadhs' na bliadhna 's chan e 'n t-àilgheas
|
'Twas the hardship of the year and not arrogance
|
|
Chuir an dràsd' do Shasunn mi
|
Has caused me to go to England just now
|
|
|
|
|
'S beag tha dh'fhios aig fleasgach aosda
|
Little do old men know
|
|
Liuthad ànradh is cruaidh-fhaochadh
|
The many troubles and hardships
|
|
Th'aig fear-teaghlaich air bheag mhaoin
|
That a family man with little money has
|
|
A'strì ri saoghal carraideach
|
Struggling against a troublesome world
|
