Chorus
:
|
|
Hill eileadh ho gu
|
Hill eileadh ho gu
|
|
Dh'fhalabh mo run bho chionn seachdain
|
My love has been gone for a week
|
|
Hill eileadh ho gu
|
Hill eileadh ho gu
|
|
|
|
|
Dh'fhalbh mo rùn air a' bhàta
|
On a ship my love departed
|
|
Guma slan thig e dhachaigh
|
May he come home safely
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
Dh'fhalbh mo rùn bho chionn bliadhna
|
A year ago my love departed
|
|
Dh'fhalbh mo chiall bho chionn seachdain
|
A week ago my darling left me
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist 2x)
|
(Chorus 2x)
|
|
|
|
|
Tha mo cheist ort a Dhòmhnaill
|
My love is for you, Donald
|
|
B'e tu 'n t-òganach dreachar
|
You were the comely youth
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
'S mi ri feitheamh Caol Ìle
|
And I am waiting at the sound of Islay
|
|
Cinntìre nan cas bheannan
|
Seeing Kintyre of the steep hills
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist 2x)
|
(Chorus 2x)
|
|
|
|
|
B'e mo mhiann a bhith sùgradh
|
I would like to be love-making
|
|
Ri òg ùr a chùil chleachdaich
|
With the fair youth of curly hair
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist 2x)
|
(Chorus 2x)
|
|
|
|
|
Tha mo cheist ort a Dhòmhnaill
|
My love is for you, Donald
|
|
B'e tu 'n t-òganach dreachar
|
You were the comely youth
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist 3x)
|
(Chorus 3x)
|
|
|
|
|
B'e mo rùn a bhith rèidh riut
|
I would like to be pleasing to you
|
|
'S bhith gur n-èigheach aig altair
|
Being married to you at the altar
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
'S ann tha càirdean mo leannain
|
My love is related
|
|
A's na h-eileinean tarsuinn
|
In the far-flung islands
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
Clann Dòmhnaill, Clann Raghnaill
|
To Clan Donald, Clan Ranald
|
|
Clann Laomainn, Clann Lachlainn
|
Clan Lamont, Clan Lachlann
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist...)
|
(Chorus...)
