O Mhàri 's tu mo Mhairi
|
Oh Mary, you are my Mary
|
|
|
|
|
Och, och mo nighean donn

'S truagh nach robh sinn air tu nall

Truagh nach robh sinn air an àiridh

Would that we were in the shieling

Fo shàile na beinne

|
|
|
Le spréidh de chrodh bainne
|
With a herd of milk cows
|
|
|
|
|
Togail àl de laoigh ghasda
|
Raising a herd of fine calves
|
|
|
|
|
Togail àl de laoigh bhoireann
|
A herd of female calves
|
|
|
|
|
Deanamh ìm agus càis ann
|
Making butter and cheese the

|
|
|
|
Chunna mi tighinn na féidh
|
I saw the deer coming
|
|
|
|
|
'S iad a' tighinn as am bùirean
|
Bellowing as they came
|
|
|
|
|
'Truagh nach robh mi air an cùlaibh
|
I wish I were behind them
|
|
|
|
|
Le mo ghunna 's m' adhairc fhùdair
|
With my gun and my powder horn
|
