Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
O 's toil leam an cìobair
|
I love the shepherd
|
|
Chan eil coir' ort ri ìnnse
|
There is no fault in him
|
|
Thu bhith fàgail na tìre
|
It's your leaving of this land
|
|
A dh'fhàg m'ìnntinn fo leòn
|
That has left me so sorrowful
|
|
|
|
|
Nuair a thèid thu dhan mhunadh
|
When you go to the moor
|
|
Le'd ghunna 's le'd' chuilein
|
With your gun and dog
|
|
Nuair a thèid thu air t' uillinn
|
When you go onto your elbow
|
|
Bheir thu fuil a damh cròic
|
The stag will be bloodied
|
|
|
|
|
Nuair a thèid thu do'n aonach
|
When you go to the hills
|
|
A shealltainn nan caorach
|
To look after the sheep
|
|
Gheibhinn leisgeul nam faodainn
|
I would find an excuse
|
|
Gus a ghaoil bhith nad' chòir
|
To be at your side
|
|
|
|
|
'S truagh nach robh mi 'san iarr'as
|
It would be better that I had the fever
|
|
Ma faca mi riamh thu
|
Before I ever set eyes on you
|
|
'S fios 'm fhìn nach mi chiad te
|
I know that I am not the first
|
|
Fhuair briathran do bheòil
|
To hear sweet-talking from your mouth
|
|
|
|
|
'S truagh nach robh mi 'san anart
|
It would be better that I was in the shroud
|
|
Ciste chaol nam bòrd tana
|
In a coffin of thin wood
|
|
Mu'n d'fhuair mi do ghealladh
|
Before I ever got your promise
|
|
'S 'n am thàini' tu 'm choir
|
Before you ever came near me
|
