Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Fhir a' bhàta, 's na ho ro eile
|
Oh boatman, 's na ho ro eile
|
|
Fhir a' bhàta, 's na ho ro eile
|
Oh boatman, 's na ho ro eile
|
|
Fhir a' bhàta, 's na ho ro eile
|
Oh boatman, 's na ho ro eile
|
|
Mo shoraidh slàn leat 's gach àit' an téid thu
|
My best wishes go with you wherever you may be
|
|
|
|
|
Is tric mi 'sealltainn o'n chnoc a's àirde
|
I'm often searching on the highest hilltop
|
|
Dh'fheuch am faic mi fear a' bhàta
|
Trying to find the boatman
|
|
An tig thi an diùigh no'n tig thu a-màireach?
|
Will you come tonight or tomorrow?
|
|
'S mur tig thu idir gur truagh a tà mi
|
If you don't come at all, I'll be distraught
|
|
|
|
|
Tha mo chridhe-sa briste, brùite
|
My heart is broken, bruised
|
|
'S tric na deòir a' ruith o m' shùilean
|
Often tears are running down my cheeks
|
|
An tig thu a-nochd no'm bi mo dhùil riut
|
Will you come tonight or will I wait up for you
|
|
No'n dùin mi'n dorus le osna thùrsaich?
|
But close the door, sighing heavily?
|
|
|
|
|
'S tric mi 'faighneachd de luchd nam bàta
|
Often I'm asking the boatmen
|
|
Am fac' iad thu no 'bheil thu sàbhailt'
|
If they've seen you or if you're safe
|
|
Ach 's ann a tha gach aon dhiùbh 'g ràitinn
|
But everyone of them there says
|
|
Gur gòrach mise ma thug mi gràdh dhut
|
That I am a fool to give my love to you
|
