|
|
Air fail a lail ó, horó, air fail a lail é
|
Air fail a lail ó, horó, air fail a lail é
|
|
Air fail a lail ó, horó, air fail a lail é
|
Air fail a lail ó, horó, air fail a lail é
|
|
Air fail a lail ó, horó, air fail a lail é
|
Air fail a lail ó, horó, air fail a lail é
|
|
Fail i fail ó, horó, air fail a lail é
|
Fail i fail ó, horó, air fail a lail é
|

|
|
|
A bhuachaille bhàin
|
Oh fair-haired lad
|
|
Mas aìll leat labhairt air thùs
|
If you say the word
|
|
Gura leat-sa gun dàil mo làmh
|
Yours is my right hand, right away
|
|
Ma thig thu le mùirn
|
If you come with affection
|
|
Gur truagh mar a tà
|
Isn't it a pity
|
|
Nach do thàrladh mis' agus thu
|
That you and I did not meet
|
|
Ann an eilein gun tràigh
|
On an island without ebbtide
|
|
Gun ràmh gun choite gun stiùir
|
Without oar, without coracle, without rudder
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
Ma théid thu air sàil, a ghràidh
|
If you go to sea, love
|
|
Biodh gini ad' phòc
|
Have a guinea in your pocket
|
|
Is òl mo dheach-slàint gach àit'
|
And drink my health in every place
|
|
An suidh thu mun bhòrd
|
That you sit at table
|
|
Le d' chridhe geal, eudrom
|
With your heart bright, light
|
|
Éibhneach, aighearach, òg
|
Joyous, high-spirited, young
|
|
Gur toil liom am beul
|
How do I like the mouth
|
|
O'm binn a thigeadh an ceòl
|
From which music comes most sweetly
|
|
|
|
|
Gur tiol liom an deud 's am beul
|
I love the teeth and the mouth
|
|
Nach labhradh le sgraing
|
That would not grumble
|
|
Bhith sìnte ri m' thaobh
|
How I wish that you would come to me
|
|
A ghaoil, nan digeadh tu ann
|
And stretch out by my side
|
|
Mur bhiodh luchd nam breug
|
If it were not for the gossips
|
|
Bha m' eudail 's mise gun taing
|
My love and I would surely be
|
|
Le òrdugh na cléir
|
With the blessing of the clergy
|
|
Le chéile 'n ceangal gu teann
|
Together in a firm bond
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
Nan robh mis' is thu am beinn
|
Oh if you and I were on a mountain
|
|
No'm monadh no'n sliabh
|
Hill, or shady slope
|
|
No air an tràigh bhàin an àit'
|
Or on a white beach, in a place
|
|
Nach robh duine riamh
|
Where no one has ever been
|
|
Seachd oidhche, seachd là
|
Seven days, seven nights
|
|
Gun tàmh gun chadal gun bhiadh
|
Without rest, without sleep, without food
|
|
Ach thus' a bhith 'ghràidh
|
But with you, love
|
|
'S do làmh gheal tharam gu fial
|
Your fair arm freely 'round me
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist 2x)
|
(Chorus 2x)
|
