Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Fhir an leadain thlàth
|
Lad of lovely hair
|
|
Dh'fhàg thu mi fo bhròn
|
You've left me in despair
|
|
|
|
|
Fhìr chùl dualaich chleachdaich
|
Lad of twisting curls
|
|
'S bòidhche snuadh ri fhaicinn
|
So beautiful to view
|
|
Tha do ghaol an tasgaich
|
Your love is kept in store
|
|
'N seòmar glaist' nam fheòil
|
Imprisioned inside me
|
|
|
|
|
Fhìr an leadain chraobhaich
|
Lad of flowing hair
|
|
B'òg a rinn thu m'aomadh
|
So young I was enslaved
|
|
Thug thu mi o m'dhaoine
|
You took me from my own
|
|
Fhuair mo shaonthair òg
|
From them who had me reared
|
|
|
|
|
Fhir an leadain laghaich
|
Lad of pleasing hair
|
|
'S tu mo rùn 's mo roghainn
|
My chosen heart's desire
|
|
Nan sguireadh tu thadhal
|
If you'd only cease to call
|
|
'S an tigh 's am bi'n t-òl
|
Upon the house of drink
|
|
|
|
|
An toiseach a' gheamhraidh
|
When winter first began
|
|
'S ann a ghabh mi geall ort
|
I pledged myself to you
|
|
Shaoil leam gum bu leam thu
|
I thought that you were mine
|
|
'S cha do sheall thu 'm chòir
|
But you never came my way
|
|
|
|
|
'N gàire rinn mi'n uiridh
|
The laughter of last year
|
|
Chuir mo cheum an truimead
|
Has weighed my every step
|
|
'S mise tha gu duilich
|
Now I'm the one who's sad
|
|
'S muladach mo cheòl
|
And sorrowful is my tune
|
|
|
|
|
Tha mi trom an dràsd'
|
With child I'm heavy now
|
|
'S e sin fàth mo dheòir
|
The cause of my tears
|
