Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Théid is gun téid e leam
|
He will go, he will go with me
|
|
Leam-sa gun téid mo leannan
|
With me, my beloved with go
|
|
Théid is gun téid e leam
|
He will go, he will go with me
|
|
|
|
|
Théid mo leannan leam a phòsadh
|
My beloved will go with me to be married
|
|
Dh'aindeoin 's na tha beò 's na chailleadh
|
Despite whoever lives or dies
|
|
|
|
|
Théid mo leannan leam a sheòladh
|
My beloved will go and sail with me
|
|
Luingeas mhór na' ròpan fada
|
The big ship of the long ropes
|
|
|
|
|
Seòlaidh sinn a-null air fairge
|
We will sail over the ocean
|
|
'S fàgaidh sinn aig Alba beannachd
|
And we'll leave Scotland a blessing
|
|
|
|
|
Théid e leam a-null air chuantan
|
He will go with over the seas
|
|
Far nach toir 'ad bhuain a' fearann
|
Where they will not take the land from us
|
|
|
|
|
Mar a nìthear na'r dùthaich
|
As is done in our country
|
|
'S fheudar cùl thoirt dhith dh'ar n-aindeoin
|
We must unwillingly turn our backs on Scotland
|
|
|
|
|
Buailibh luaidhibh an clò
|
Strike it and waulk the tweed, my loved ones
|
|
'Son briogais phòsda dha mo leannan
|
To make wedding trousers for my beloved
|
|
|
|
|
Buidhe, buidhe mar a' sìthean
|
Twice yellow as the flower
|
|
Fear dhan tug mi fhìn mo ghealladh
|
The one to whom I gave my promise
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist 2x)
|
(Chorus 2x)
|
