Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Hiuraibh o, ghràidh an tig thu? |
Hiuraibh o, darling, will you come? |
|
Hiuraibh o, an tig thu, 'ghràidh? |
Hiuraibh o, will you come, darling? |
|
Hiuraibh o, an tig thu'm bliadhna? |
Hiuraibh o, darling, will you come? |
|
Nan tig thu gu siorraidh bràth? |
Will you ever come? |
| |
|
|
Mo chùl ri beanntan na Hearadh |
My back to the mountains of Harris |
|
M'aghaidh ri fearann na Pairc' |
My face towards the Park lands |
|
Cianalas a' tigh'nn air m'aire |
A longing has come over over me |
|
'S gaol mo leannain a' dol bàs |
And my sweetheart's love is fading |
| |
|
|
Chunnaic mis' thu as mo chadal |
I saw you in my sleep |
|
A' tigh'nn dhachaigh às a' bhlàr |
Coming home from battle |
|
Le do chlaidheamh caol a'lasadh |
With your slender sword shining |
|
Cha b'ann gam' iarraidh-sa bha |
But you weren't looking for me |
| |
|
|
Nam biodh dùil ri do litir |
If I expected your letter |
|
Air an t-Sheila oidhche Mhàirt |
To arrive on board the Sheila on Tuesday evening |
|
'S mi nach sgriobhadh sios le ionca |
I would not write in ink |
|
Fuil mo chridhe, 'si bu bhlàith' |
But in the blood of my heart, for it'd be warmer |
