|
|
Ailean Duinn a nì 'sa nàire
|
Dark-haired Alan, my precious one
|
|
O na hi ho rin o ho
|
O na hi ho rin o ho
|
|
Hi na hi ri hu o
|
Hi na hi ri hu o
|
|
|
|
|
'S goirt is daor gu phàigh mi mal dhut
|
Endless grief the price it cost me
|
|
|
|
|
Cha chrodh laoigh 's cha chaoraich bhàna
|
'Twas neither sheep or cattle
|
|
|
|
|
Ach an luchd a thaom am bàta
|
But the load the ship took with her
|
|
|
|
|
Bha m'athair oirre 's mo thriùir bhràithrean
|
My father and my three brothers
|
|
|
|
|
Chan e sin gu lèir a chràidh mi
|
As if this wasn't all my burden
|
|
|
|
|
Ach am fear a ghlachd air làimh mi
|
The one to whom I gave my hand
|
|
|
|
|
Leathanach a bhroillich bhàn-ghil
|
MacLean of the fair skin
|
|
|
|
|
Gur e mise bhios gu cràiteach
|
___
|
|
|
|
|
Nuair a ruigeas a sgeul do mhàthair
|
___
|
|
|
|
|
Their i gur e mise bhàth thu
|
___
|
|
|
|
|
Aig a mheud 'sa thug mi gràdh dhut
|
___
|
