English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Mo chridhe trom's duilich leam |
My heart is weary, so sad am I |
|
Gur muladach a tha mi |
It is melancholy I am |
|
Bho 'n chuir mo leannan cùlthaobh rium |
Since my sweetheart turned from me |
|
Té ùr cha téid na h-àite |
A new man will not come in his place |
|
Mo chridhe trom's duilich leam |
My heart is weary, so sad am I |
| |
|
|
Nuair chunnaic mi an toiseach thu |
When I first saw you |
|
Nad shuidh' air stòc a' bhàta |
Sitting at the gunwhale |
|
'S e còig bliadhn' deug a dh'aois bha mi |
I was fifteen years old, love |
|
A ghaoil nuair thug mi gràdh dhut |
When I gave my love to you |
|
Mo chridhe trom's duilich leam |
My heart is weary, so sad am I |
| |
|
|
Nuair chaidh mi chun a' chladaich leat |
When I went to the beach with you |
|
'S a dh'amhairc mi nad bhàta |
And saw you in the boat |
|
Gu robh mo chridhe a' caoineadh |
My heart was weeping |
|
Ged a rinn mi faoin an gàire |
Although I tried to smile |
|
Mo chridhe trom's duilich leam |
My heart is weary, so sad am I |
| |
|
|
Ach on a rinn thu caochladh |
But since you died |
|
Air faondradh rinn thu m' fhàgail |
Your leaving me was pointless |
|
On mheall thu le do ghaol mi |
Since you deceived me with love |
|
Chan fhaod mi bhith mar bha mi |
I cannot be as I was |
|
Mo chridhe trom's duilich leam |
My heart is weary, so sad am I |
| |
|
|
Mo chridhe trom's duilich leam |
My heart is weary, so sad am I |
|
Gur muladach a tha mi |
It is melancholy I am |
|
Bho 'n chuir mo leannan cùlthaobh rium |
Since my sweetheart turned from me |
|
Té ùr cha téid na h-àite |
A new man will not come in his place |
|
Mo chridhe trom's duilich leam |
My heart is weary, so sad am I |
