|
|
Nuair a ràinig mi'm bhaile
|
When I got to the village
|
|
Cha robh aighear na ceòl ann
|
There was no merriment or music there
|
|

Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Na hua ho hua ho
|
Na hua ho hua ho
|
|
Mo nighean donn bhòidheach
|
My pretty brown-haired maid
|
|
Na hua ho hua ho
|
Na hua ho hua ho
|
|
|
|
|
Bha na mnathan ri fuaigheal
|
The women were sewing
|
|
'S bha na maighdeannan brònach
|
And the maidens were sorrowful
|
|
|
|
|
Bha mo chraobh fhada dhìreach
|
My tall, straight tree was
|
|
Na shìneadh sa t-seòmar
|
Lying in the room
|
|
|
|
|
I na sìneadh fon uinneig
|
She is lying under the window
|
|
Is cha chluinneadh i mo chòmhradh
|
And she doesn't hear my talk
|
|
|
|
|
'S truagh nach robh mi san fhiabhras
|
Pity I was not in a fever
|
|
Mu'n do dh'iarr mi riamh pòg ort
|
Before I ever asked you for a kiss
|
|
|
|
|
'S truagh nach robh mi sa ghriùthach
|
Pity I wasn't ill with measles
|
|
Mus do lùig iad sinn pòsda
|
Before they allowed us to marry
|
|
|
|
|
Fhir a chruthaich na dùilean
|
You who created the elements
|
|
Cùm mi gun fhàs gòrach
|
Keep me from losing my mind
|
