Chorus (after each verse): |
|
'S toigh leam Ailean Dubh à Lochaidh |
I like dark Alan from Lochy |
|
Mo ghaol Ailean donn a' chòta |
My love Alan with the brown coat |
|
'S toigh leam Ailean Dubh à Lochaidh |
I like dark Alan from Lochy |
| |
|
|
Ailean, Ailean, 's ait leam beò thu |
Alan, Alan, I am pleased you're living |
| |
|
|
Sguab thu mo sprèidh bhàrr na mòintich |
You swept me cattle from the moorland |
| |
|
|
Loisg thu m' iodhlann choirce is eòrna |
You burned my stackyard of oats and barley |
| |
|
|
Mharbh thu mo thiùir bhràithrean òga |
You killed my three youthful brothers |
| |
|
|
Mharbh thu m' athair is m' fhear pòsta |
You killed my father and my husband |
| |
|
|
'S ged rinn thu siud 's ait leam beò thu |
Though you did that, I'm pleased you're living |
