Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
'S toigh leam cruinneag dhonn nam bó
|
I love the brown-haired milkmaid
|
|
Shuibhlainn leat troimh choill nan cnò
|
I would traverse the hazel-wood with you
|
|
'S toigh leam cruinneag dhonn nam bó
|
I love the brown-haired milkmaid
|
|
|
|
|
'S toigh leam cruinneag dhonn na h-àrigh
|
I love the brown-haired lass from the shieling
|
|
Dh'an tug mi mo ghràdh 's mi òg
|
To whom I pledged my love as a youth
|
|
|
|
|
'S toigh leam banarach na buaile
|
I love the milkmaid from the fold
|
|
Buain a'fhraoich gu dath a' chlò
|
Plucking the heather to dye the cloth
|
|
|
|
|
Shiùbhlainn leat troimh choill a' bharraich
|
I would walk through the birch-forest with you
|
|
Ged bhiodh càch a fanaid òirnn
|
Though the others would be mocking us
|
|
|
|
|
Ri cur a' chrodh-laoigh dh'an innis
|
When putting the cows to pasture
|
|
Dh'aithnichinn a' tighinn do cheòl
|
I would recognize you by your singing
|
|
|
|
|
'S toigh leam cruinneag dhonn nam bó...
|
I love the brown-haired milkmaid...
|
