English Translation: |
|
|
Bheir mi ò hu ò hò |
Bheir mi ò hu ò hò |
'S mi fo bhròn 's tu gam dhìth |
I am sorrowful without your company |
|
|
'S iomadh oidhche fliuch 'us fuar |
Many nights wet and cold |
Ghabh mi cuairt 'us mi leam fhìn |
I took a trip all by myself |
Gus an d' ràinig mise 'n t-àit' |
Until I reached the place |
Far an robh gràdh geal mo chridh' |
Where was my heart's fair love |
|

Chorus (after each verse): |
Bheir mi ò hu ò hò |
Bheir mi ò hu ò hò |
Bheir mi ò hu ò hì |
Bheir mi ò hu ò hì |
Bheir mi ò hu ò hò |
Bheir mi ò hu ò hò |
'S mi fo bhròn 's tu gam dhìth |
I am sorrowful without your company |
|
|
Dhèanainn treabhadh dhuit is buan |
I would plough and reap for you |
Chumainn suas thu gun dìth |
I would keep you unfailingly |
Bheirinn as a' ghreabhal chruaidh |
I would like to take from the hard gravel |
Do mo luaidh teachd an tìr |
A livelihood for my love |
|
|
Ged nach eil sinn fhathast pòsd' |
Although we are not yet married |
Tha mi'n dòchas gum bi |
I hope we will be |
Fhad' 's a mhaireas mo dhà dhòrn |
As long as I have my two hands |
Cha bhith lòn oirnn a dhìth |
We will want for nothing |
