English Translation: |
|
|
Tha fadachd orm fhin |
I am in a state of yearning |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
Mo ghaol a nochd air bhar a chuain |
My lover tonight is on the bosom of the ocean |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
S'fluich an oidhche's fuar |
Cold and wet is this night |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
Tha ceo air a bheinn |
Thick is the mist on the hill |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
|
|
'S fhada leam gu tinn |
I think it an eternity until you come |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
Fear a ghunna chaoil nach duilt |
The youth with the slim rifle that never misses |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
Sealgair nam fiar |
The hunter of the stags |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
Stu cho fada bhuam |
And you are so far away from me |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
|
|
Ach nach saoil sibh fhein |
But do not you yourselves think |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
Nach truagh dhomh sa nochd a bhith |
That it is a pity for me to be tonight |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
Am bothan bhig san fhrith |
In a little bothy in the deer forest |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
Stu cho fada bhuam |
And you so far away from me? |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
|
|
Beannachd dha mo dhuinn |
A blessing to my people |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
A dha chun a ghille bhan |
Two blessings to the fair-haired lad |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
S'aine bhuamsa tron |
Distant from me is music |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
Goirt mo choise trom |
Painful and heavy is my step |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
|
|
Tha fadachd orm fhin |
I am in a state of yearning |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
Mo ghaol a nochd air bhar a chuain |
My lover tonight is on the bosom of the ocean |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
S'fluich an oidhche's fuar |
Cold and wet is this night |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
Tha ceo air a bheinn |
Thick is the mist on the hill |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
|
|
'S fhada leam gu tinn |
I think it an eternity until you come |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
Fear a ghunna chaoil nach duilt |
The youth with the slim rifle that never misses |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
Sealgair nam fiar |
The hunter of the stags |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
Stu cho fada bhuam |
And you are so far away from me |
E ho hu ri ho |
E ho hu ri ho |
