Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
A ghaoil, saoil am faigh mi thu?
|
Dear, I wonder if I shall win your hand
|
|
'Se d'fhaighinn dhèanadh slàn mi
|
Having you for myself would make me well
|
|
A ghaoil, saoil am faigh mi thu?
|
Dear, I wonder if I shall win your hand
|
|
|
|
|
Cha ghabh mi fhìn an tàillear
|
I shall not take the tailor
|
|
Cha ghabh, cha ghabh, chan àill leam
|
No, no, 'tis against my will
|
|
|
|
|
Cha ghabh mi fhìn an ceannaiche
|
I shall not take the merchant
|
|
Bidh ealach de chuid chàich air
|
He will be carrying a load of people's goods
|
|
|
|
|
Cha ghabh mi fhìn an tuathanach
|
I shall not take the farmer
|
|
Bidh ruaig airson a'mhàil air
|
He will be chasing the rent
|
|
|
|
|
Ach s'e mo ghaol an seòladair
|
But my love is the sailor
|
|
Air long nam mòr chrann àrda
|
On the ship with stout, tall masts
|
