Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Fhir a leadain thlàth
|
Lad of beautiful hair
|
|
Dh'fhàg thu mi fo bhròn
|
You've left me in despair
|
|
|
|
|
Fhir chul dualaich chleachdaich
|
Lad of twisting curls
|
|
'S bòidhche snuadh ri fhaicinn
|
So beautiful to view
|
|
Tha do ghaol an tasgaidh
|
Your love is kept
|
|
'N seòmar glaist' 'nam fheòil
|
In a locked room in my body
|
|
|
|
|
Fhir a leadain chraobhaich
|
Lad of the flowing hair
|
|
B'òg a rinn thu m'aomadh
|
So young I was ensnared
|
|
Thug thu mi o m'dhaoine
|
You took me from my people
|
|
A fhuair mo shaothair òg
|
From those who had reared me
|
|
|
|
|
Fhir a leadain laghaich
|
Lad of the pleasing hair
|
|
'S tu mo rùn 's mo roghainn
|
You are my love and my desire
|
|
Nan sguireadh tu thaghail
|
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
|
At the start of winter
|
|
'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 didn't look my way
|
|
|
|
|
'N gàire rinn mi'n uiridh
|
The laughter of last year
|
|
Chuir mo cheum an truimead
|
Weighs heavily on my every step
|
|
'S mise tha gu duilich
|
Now I am so sad
|
|
'S muladach mo cheòl
|
And sorrowful is my music
|
|
|
|
|
Tha mi trom an dràsd'
|
I am heavy now with child
|
|
'S e sin fàth mo dheòir
|
That's the cause of my tears
|
|
Fhir a leadain thlàth
|
Lad of the lovely hair
|
|
Dh'fhàg thu mi fo bhròn
|
You have left me in despair
|
