|
|
O chruinneag è chruinneag
|
Oh young woman
|
|
O chruinneag na buaile
|
Young woman of the fold
|
|
O chruinneag mo chridhe
|
Young woman of my heart
|
|
'S ann leat a ruithinn am fuadach
|
I would run with you
|
|
|
|
|
Gur ann thall anns a Chàrnaich
|
Over in Carnach
|
|
An gleann àrd nan sruth fuara
|
In the high glen of the cold streams
|
|
A tha'n ribhinn as bòidhche
|
There lives the most beautiful maiden
|
|
Dh'fhàg fo leòn gu là Luain mi
|
Who left me wounded 'til Monday
|
|
|
|
|
Tha do shùil mar an dearcag
|
Your eye is as the little berry
|
|
Bhios fo dhealt ann am bruachaig
|
Under dew on the bank
|
|
Do dhà ghruaidh mar na caorainn
|
Your two cheeks as rowan-berries
|
|
Mala chaol 's i gun ghruaman
|
Narrow eyebrows without gloom
|
|
|
|
|
Tha do chalpa mar bhradan
|
The calf of your leg is as salmon
|
|
Air an aigeal a'chluaineis
|
Frisking in the pool
|
|
'S do shlios mar an fhaoileann
|
And your side as the sea-mew
|
|
Snàmh ri aodann an fhuaraidh
|
Swimming against the breeze
|
|
|
|
|
'S mi gu rachadh do'n Fhraing
|
I would go to France
|
|
Le Nic Fhraing a 'chuil dualaich
|
With the daughter of France, of the curly hair
|
|
'S tu nach bitheadh fo mhìghean
|
You would not be melancholy
|
|
'S ceòl na fidhle 'nad chluasan
|
With the fiddle music in your ears
|
|
|
|
|
O chruinneag è chruinneag
|
Oh young woman
|
|
O chruinneag na buaile
|
Young woman of the fold
|
|
O chruinneag mo chridhe
|
Young woman of my heart
|
|
'S ann leat a ruithinn am fuadach
|
I would run with you
|
