Lyrics: |
English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Oganaich ùir a rinn m' fhàgail |
Oh noble youth who has left me |
| |
|
|
Sèist: |
Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho |
Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho |
|
Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag |
Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag |
|
Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho |
Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho |
| |
|
|
Chum thu air deireadh air chàch mi |
You have kept me behind all the others |
| |
|
|
Gun fhios dha m'athair no m' mhàthair |
Unknown to my father or mother |
| |
|
|
Gun fhios dham phiuthar no m' bhràithair |
Unknown to sister or brother |
| |
|
|
A bhean ud thall aig a chuibhle |
Oh woman at the spinning wheel |
| |
|
|
Fhios agad fhèin mar a tha mo chridhe |
You know how my heart is |
| |
|
|
Caimbeulach òg oirre shiubhal |
A young Campbell in your possession |
| |
|
|
'S nach fhaigh mi baisteadh an Uibhist |
I will not get a baptism in Uist |
| |
|
|
Gu ruig mi fear a' chùil bhuidhe |
Until I reach the yellow-haired man |
| |
|
|
Chum thu air deireadh air chàch mi |
You have kept me behind all the others |
