|
|
O nach tigeadh mo robairneach gaolach
|
Oh would that my beloved, smart boy would come
|
|
Bìrlinn aig' agus ceatharnaich dhaoine
|
With his galley and stalwart men
|
|
S mise bhiodh sona 's cò theireadh nach fhaodadh
|
Indeed I would be happy and who dare say that I would not be
|
|
'S baighearach mise mur tilleadh a'ghaoth e
|
I would be joyful if the wind did not turn his back
|
|
|
|
|
Nan tigeadh tu fhathast b'e m'aighear 's mo rùn thu
|
If you would be coming, I'd wish and desire that
|
|
Cead bhith gad choimhead gum b'aighearach leam e
|
Hundreds be watching how happy I'd be then
|
|
Nuair dh'èireadh tu 'd sheasamh bu deas thu air ùrlar
|
How handsome you are when you stand on the dance floor
|
|
Buadh-fhear an danns' agus annsachd na cùirte
|
Winner at dancing and loved by the company
|
|
|
|
|
Tha bhìrlinn a tighinn fo h-uidheann an tràthsa
|
The galley is coming under sail just now
|
|
Timcheall an rudh' agus buidheann mo ghràidh innt'
|
'Round the headland and my beloved crew in her
|
|
Fear a chùil bhuidhe na shuidh' air a bràighe
|
The golden-haired man sitting on her deck
|
|
'S tu dhèanadh a stiùireadh ri cùl nan tonn àrda
|
Indeed you would steer her behind the high waves
|
|
|
|
|
O nach tigeadh mo robairneach gaolach
|
Oh would that my beloved, smart boy would come
|
|
Bìrlinn aig' agus ceatharnaich dhaoine
|
With his galley and stalwart men
|
|
S mise bhiodh sona 's cò theireadh nach fhaodadh
|
Indeed I would be happy and who dare say that I would not be
|
|
'S baighearach mise mur tilleadh a'ghaoth e
|
I would be joyful if the wind did not turn his back
|
