English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Mo ghaol an te nach diobair mi |
My love whom I will not forsake |
|
Cho fad's a dheanadh firinn e |
As long as truth shall stand |
|
Gun aithnichinn ceum na h-ighneig |
I would recognize the step of my love |
|
Measg nam miltean air a'chabhsair |
Amongst the thousands on the pavement |
|
Mo ghaol an te nach diobair mi |
My love whom I will not forsake |
| |
|
|
Shaorainn, shaorainn, shaorainn thu |
I would free you from anything |
|
Air m'fhacal fhin gu faodainn sin |
On my word, I would do that |
|
Nan creideadh clann nan daoine mi |
If mankind would believe me |
|
Gu saorainn Mairi ghreannmhor |
I would free beautiful Mary |
|
Mo ghaol an te nach diobair mi |
My love whom I will not forsake |
| |
|
|
Shaorainn agus shorainn thu |
I would free you |
|
Mhionnaichinn agus bhoidichinn |
I would give my oath and vow |
|
Nach d'fhuair mi riamh do eolas ort |
That since making your acquaintance |
|
Mar tug mi greis air cainnt riut |
I have found no vices |
|
Mo ghaol an te nach diobair mi |
My love whom I will not forsake |
| |
|
|
Shaorainn fhin gun teagamh thu |
I would most definitely spare you |
|
Ged b'ann air bheulaibh seisein e |
Even if it were in front of the Kirk Session |
|
Is nam b'e b'fhearr gum posadh mi |
And should I marry |
|
B'e tu mo cheud bean-bainnse |
You would be my first choice of bride |
|
Mo ghaol an te nach diobair mi |
My love whom I will not forsake |
| |
|
|
Tha falt bachlach, dualach ort |
Your hair is curly and ringletted |
|
Gu bharr a' fas na chuaileinean |
To the very tip of each strand |
|
Do phog mar mhil nam bruachagan |
Your kiss like the honeycomb |
|
'S do shnuadh air dhreach an t-samhraidh |
And your complexion the color of summer |
|
Mo ghaol an te nach diobair mi |
My love whom I will not forsake |
| |
|
|
Cho fad's a dheanadh firinn e |
As long as truth shall stand |
|
Gun aithnichinn ceum na h-ighneig |
I would recognize the step of my love |
|
Measg nam miltean air a'chabhsair |
Amongst the thousands on the pavement |
|
Mo ghaol an te nach diobair mi |
My love whom I will not forsake |
