Fiona Mackenzie & Arthur Cormack - Mo Chridhe Trom 'S Dùilich Leam

Lyrics :	English Translation :

Mo chridhe trom 's duilich leam	My heart is weary, so sad am I
Gur muladach a tha mi	It is melancholy I am
Bho chuir mo leannan cùlthaobh rium	Since my sweetheart turned from me
Fear ùr cha tig na àite	A new man will not come in his place
Mo chridhe trom 's duilich leam	My heart is weary, so sad am I

Nuair chunnaic mi an toiseach thu	When I first saw you
Nad shuidh' air stoc a bhàta	Sitting at the gunwhale
'S e còig blian' deug a dh'aois bha mi	I was fifteen years old, love
A ghaoil, nuair thug mi gràdh dhut	When I gave my love to you
Mo chridhe trom 's duilich leam	My heart is weary, so sad am I

Nuair chaidh mi chun a'chladaich leat	When I went to the beach with you
'S a dh'amhairc mi nad bhàta	And saw you in the boat
Gu robh mo chridh' a caoineadh	My heart was weeping
Ged a rinn mi faoin an gàire	Although I tried to smile
Mo chridhe trom 's duilich leam	My heart is weary, so sad am I

Ach on a rinn thu caochladh	But since you died
Air faondradh rinn thu m'fhagail	Your leaving me was pointless
On mheall thu le do ghaol mi	Since you deceived me with love
Chan fhaod mi bhith mar a bha mi	I cannot be as I was
Mo chridhe trom 's duilich leam	My heart is weary, so sad am I

Mo chridhe trom's duilich leam	My heart is weary, so sad am I
Gur muladach a tha mi	It is melancholy I am
Bho chuir mo leannan cùlthaobh rium	Since my sweetheart turned from me
Fear ùr cha tig na àite	A new man will not come in his place
Mo chridhe trom 's duilich leam	My heart is weary, so sad am I
