|
|
Leannan mo ghaoil Màiri Bhòidheach
|
My dearest sweetheart is beautiful Mary
|
|
Leannan mo ghaoil mo chridhe 's mo ghaoil
|
My dearest and fondest sweetheart
|
|
Dh'fhalbh leis a'ghaoith 's a rinn seòladh
|
Who sailed with the wind
|
|
Leannan mo ghaoil Màiri Bhòidheach
|
My dearest sweetheart is beautiful Mary
|
|
|
|
|
Tha do ghruaidhean mar an caorann
|
Your cheeks are like the rowan
|
|
Mala chaol air aodann bòidheach
|
Slender eyebrows on a beautiful face
|
|
Leannan mo ghaoil Màiri Bhòidheach
|
My dearest sweetheart is beautiful Mary
|
|
|
|
|
Tha do shùil mar dhrùchd na maidne
|
You eye is like the morning dew
|
|
'S tha do chneas mar shneachd air mòintich
|
And your skin as snow on a moor
|
|
Leannan mo ghaoil Màiri Bhòidheach
|
My dearest sweetheart is beautiful Mary
|
|
|
|
|
Tha do phògan mar an siùcar
|
Your kisses are like sugar
|
|
Ged nach dùraig thu gin dhòmhsa
|
Although you do not wish to give me any
|
|
Leannan mo ghaoil Màiri Bhòidheach
|
My dearest sweetheart is beautiful Mary
|
|
|
|
|
Ach mur dèan thu mise phòsadh
|
If you do not marry me
|
|
'S ann fo'n fhòd bhios m'àite còmhnaidh
|
Under the sod will be my resting place
|
|
Leannan mo ghaoil Màiri Bhòidheach
|
My dearest sweetheart is beautiful Mary
|
|
|
|
|
Leannan mo ghaoil mo chridhe 's mo ghaoil
|
My dearest and fondest sweetheart
|
|
Dh'fhalbh leis a'ghaoith 's a rinn seòladh
|
Who sailed with the wind
|
|
Leannan mo ghaoil Màiri Bhòidheach
|
My dearest sweetheart is beautiful Mary
|
