English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Chì mi'n toman caorann cuileann |
I see the hillock of the rowan and holly |
|
Chì mi'n toman caorann thall |
I see the hillock of the rowan and yonder |
|
Chì mi'n toman caorann cuileann |
I see the hillock of the rowan and holly |
|
Laogh mo chèil' air uilinn ann |
And my beloved resting on his elbow there |
| |
|
|
Cha tèid mise 'chrò nan caorach |
I'll not go to the sheep fold |
|
Cha tèid mise 'chrò nan uan |
I'll not go to the lamb fold |
|
Cha tèid mise 'chrò nan laoighean |
I'll not go to the calf fold |
|
O nach eil mo ghaol ud ann |
Since my love is not there |
| |
|
|
Chì mi mo thriùir bhraithrean seachad |
I see my three brothers passing |
|
Air an loma luath |
In a great rush |
|
Sgeinean beag air bhàrr an uilinn |
Small knives in the crooks of their arms |
|
Fuil mo ghaoil a'sileadh uap' |
And my love's blood dripping from them |
| |
|
|
Ach nam b'aithne dhòmhs' an rathad |
But if I knew the road |
|
Gu bean-taighe an fhuilt bhàin |
To the fair-haired woman's house |
|
Dh'innseadh i mu èirigh grèine |
She would tell before sunrise |
|
Nach b'e fuil an fhèidh a bh'ann |
That it was not the blood of the deer |
| |
|
|
Chì mi'n toman caorann cuileann |
I see the hillock of the rowan and holly |
|
Chì mi'n toman caorann thall |
I see the hillock of the rowan and yonder |
|
Chì mi'n toman caorann cuileann |
I see the hillock of the rowan and holly |
|
Laogh mo chèil' air uilinn ann |
And my beloved resting on his elbow there |
