|
|
Hug oireann ò rò gur toigh leam fhìn thu
|
Hug oireann o ro I do like you
|
|
'S toigh leam fhìn thu, 's tu leam as bòidhche
|
I do like you, you are the most beautiful
|
|
Blas na meala air do phògan
|
The taste of honey from your kisses
|
|
Bidh mi 'gad chaoidh o'n a rinn thu seòladh
|
I shall sorely miss you since you went to sea
|
|
Hug oireann ò rò gur toigh leam fhìn thu
|
Hug oireann o ro I do like you
|
|
|
|
|
'S fhada, 's fhada, 's gur fhad' air falbh thu
|
It is a long, long time you have been away
|
|
Air long Rìgh Deòrs' le do chòta dearg ort
|
On King George's ship wearing your red coat
|
|
'S tric mo shùilean air an fhairge
|
Often I am looking out to sea
|
|
Feuch an faic mi fear do dhealbha
|
In the hope of seeing a man of your physique
|
|
Hug oireann ò rò gur toigh leam fhìn thu
|
Hug oireann o ro I do like you
|
|
|
|
|
'S fhada, 's fhada, 's gur fhada muigh thu
|
It is a long, long time you have been out
|
|
Gun fhios, a luaidh, nach e 'n cuan a shluig thu
|
Not knowing, dear, that the ocean has not swallowed you
|
|
Gur e'n gaol le chèile thug sinn
|
It is the love we both gave
|
|
A dh'fhàg ad dhèidh mi cho deurach duilich
|
Which has left me tearful and pining for you
|
|
Hug oireann ò rò gur toigh leam fhìn thu
|
Hug oireann o ro I do like you
|
|
|
|
|
Ach 's truagh nach robh mi 'nam eun beag aotrom
|
It is a pity that I was not in the guise of a small, light bird
|
|
Mar an uiseag no mar an fhaoileag
|
Like the lark or like the seagull
|
|
'S mi gu siùbhladh thar nan caoiltean
|
Indeed I would travel across the narrows
|
|
Gus an ruiginn far eil mo ghaol-sa
|
Until I would reach my beloved
|
|
Hug oireann ò rò gur toigh leam fhìn thu
|
Hug oireann o ro I do like you
|
|
|
|
|
'S toigh leam fhìn thu, 's tu leam as bòidhche
|
I do like you, you are the most beautiful
|
|
Blas na meala air do phògan
|
The taste of honey from your kisses
|
|
Bidh mi 'gad chaoidh o'n a rinn thu seòladh
|
I shall sorely miss you since you went to sea
|
|
Hug oireann ò rò gur toigh leam fhìn thu
|
Hug oireann o ro I do like you
|
