|
|
|
A ribhinn bhòidheach nach toir thu géill dhomh
|
Beautiful maiden, will you not believe me
|
|
'S nach dèan thu éisdeachd le spéis ri m' chòmhradh
|
And will you not listen fondly to my words
|
|
Mo bheatha saogh'lta gun saors', gun fheum dhomh
|
My life on earth is without freedom, without use
|
|
Mas e mo thréigsinn a nì riut còrdadh
|
If your pleasure is to reject me
|
|
|
|
|
D' ìomhaigh àlainn mar mhadainn Chéitein
|
Your beautiful face like a May morning
|
|
'S a' ghrian ag éirigh air sléibhtean ceòthar
|
And the sun rising over misty hillsides
|
|
Chan fhaca Adhamh an Gàrradh Eden
|
Adam in the Garden of Eden never saw
|
|
Nas àill' na m'eudail am measg na ròsan
|
More beautiful than my love amongst the roses
|
|
|
|
|
Dhutsa liùgainn bhith dlùth 'n àm éirigh
|
It is you that I would wish to wake up beside
|
|
Fad mo rèis bhithinn réidh ri d' iarraidh
|
For my whole life I would happily do your bidding
|
|
'S tu cuspair m' àraich, 's tu leigheas m' eucail
|
You are the source of my strength, the remedy for my illness
|
|
Iùl mo cheum, 's tu mo reul gu sìorraidh
|
The guide for my footsteps, you are my eternal star
|
|
|
|
|
Nì aois an sgiamh tha 'nad ìomhaigh fhuadach
|
Age will chase away the beauty of your countenance
|
|
'S a h-uile dual tha 'na d' chuailean a liathadh
|
And will turn each curl of your hair gray
|
|
Ach, och, mo chiat-s' dhut cha chiar 's chan fhuaraich
|
But oh, my love for you will not fade or grow cold
|
|
Bidh e, a luaidh, dol nas buan gach bliadhna
|
It will, my darling, grow deeper with each year
|
|
|
|
|
A ribhinn bhòidheach nach toir thu géill dhomh
|
Beautiful maiden, will you not believe me
|
|
'S nach dèan thu éisdeachd le spéis ri m' chòmhradh
|
And will you not listen fondly to my words
|
|
Mo bheatha saogh'lta gun saors', gun fheum dhomh
|
My life on earth is without freedom, without use
|
|
Mas e mo thréigsinn a nì riut còrdadh
|
If your pleasure is to reject me
|
