|
|
A chailin aluinn dha'n tug mi'n gradh-sa
|
Oh beautiful girl to whom I gave my love
|
|
'S i fhein as aille na blaths' nan ros
|
She alone has more beauty than the fair roses
|
|
Gun i bhith laimh rium 's ann tursach tha mi
|
Without her I am sorrowful
|
|
A chailin aluinn 's tu fath mo bhroin
|
Oh beautiful girl, you are the cause of my sadness
|
|
|
|
|
An am dhomh dusgadh is mi nam aonar
|
On waking when I am alone
|
|
'S e sin an uair as moth' mo bhron
|
That is the time I am most sad
|
|
Bidh mo smuaintean air a' chailin uasail
|
My thoughts are with the noble girl
|
|
A dh'imich bhuam-sa 's a rinn mo leon
|
Who went from me and wounded me
|
|
|
|
|
A chailin aluinn gun tug mi gradh dhut
|
Beautiful girl, I gave my heart to you
|
|
Thig na mo chomhnaidh mo luaidh 's mo stor
|
Come to me, my darling and my treasure
|
|
'S abair rium-sa gur tu mo ghradh geal
|
Tell me that you are my fair love
|
|
'S bith mise aghmhor gun aobhar craidh
|
And I'll be joyful without reason for torment
|
|
|
|
|
Nach tig thu leam-sa a chailin aluinn
|
Won't you come with me, beautiful girl
|
|
Gu siorruidh brath cha bhith ort bron
|
And forever more you'll know no sorrow
|
|
Sheinninn ceol dhut mar cheol na clarsaich
|
I would sing to you like the music of the clarsach
|
|
'S mar ghuth na smeoraich an driuchd an fheoir
|
Like the voice of the song-thrush in the dewy grass
|
|
|
|
|
A chailin aluinn gun tug mi gradh dhut
|
Beautiful girl, I gave my heart to you
|
|
Thig na mo chomhnaidh mo luaidh 's mo stor
|
Come to me, my darling and my treasure
|
|
'S abair rium-sa gur tu mo ghradh geal
|
Tell me that you are my fair love
|
|
'S bith mise aghmhor gun aobhar craidh
|
And I'll be joyful without reason for torment
|
