English Translation: |

|
|
Bliadhn' mun àm sa dh'fhalbh |
A year ago my heart's love left me |
|
Fada bhuam rùn mo chrìdh' |
For faraway places |
|
Gus an cuairtich e an saoghal |
He'll never return |
|
Cha bhi dùil ris air ais anns an tìr |
Until he sees the wide world around |
|
Nuair a chì mis' e rithist |
When I'll see my love coming |
|
Nach mi nì an ogag 's an gaol |
I'll give him all my love |
|
Le pòg na blas mil |
And smother him with honey kisses |
|
O Jimmy mo mhìle stòr |
Jimmy mo mhíle stór |
| |
|
|
Bidh mo mhàthair 's m' athair |
My father and mother |
|
A' gearain 's a' trod rium a' strì |
They never can give me ease |
|
Tha mi sgìth 's mi claoidhte |
I'm tired and fed up |
|
'S mi searbh 's mo bheatha gun sìth |
And tormented with this life |
|
Thug mi gaol dhan fhear fhlathail |
I gave my love to the fairest |
|
Gun iarraidh thug mise dha pòg |
Without asking I kissed him |
|
'S chaidh esan a sheòladh |
And he went off to sea |
|
O Jimmy mo mhìle stòr |
Jimmy mo mhíle stór |
| |
|
|
Thig mise dhan choille |
I'll go to the woods |
|
'S caithidh mi ann cuid mhath dhem shaogh'l |
And spend there all of my time |
|
Gun ghuth ann ri chluinntinn |
With no one around |
|
Ach ceòl binn bho cheileireadh eòin |
Listening to birdsong |
|
Aig cas nan craobh chaorainn |
Beaneath the rowan tree |
|
Far 'eil fhùraichean fàs ann gu leòr |
With flowers aplenty there |
|
Thug mi ghaol dhan fhear fhlathail |
Giving love to the most heavenly |
|
O Jimmy mo mhìle stòr |
To Jimmy mo mhíle stór |
|
