Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Ma bhios tu fo mhulad |
If you are unhappy |
|
Gràdhaichidh mi thu |
I will love you |
|
Gràdhaichidh mi thu, mo leanabh |
I will love you, my child |
| |
|
|
Fhad 's tha thu fhathast a' laighe nam phòg |
While you are still lying in my embrace |
|
Seinn òran fìorghlan |
Sing a pure song |
|
Mus tig creach nad bhinneas òg |
Before your young melody is tainted |
|
Seinn o mo naoidhean |
Sing, my little one |
| |
|
|
Fhad 's tha thu fhathast gun imcheist |
While you are still without distraction |
|
Èist ri na guthan sèimh |
Listen to the soft voices |
|
Mus teich thu bhon fhear chagarsach |
Before you turn from those who whisper |
|
Èist o mo leanabh |
Listen, my child |
| |
|
|
Fhad 's tha thu fhathast gun fiatachd |
Until you learn modesty |
|
Danns ann an earbsa |
Dance with confidence |
|
Mus fhàs do cheum trom le mì-thlachd |
Before your steps grow heavy with resentment |
|
Danns o mo phàiste |
Dance, my child |
| |
|
|
Fhad 's tha thu fhathast saor bho dhìth |
While you are still without want |
|
Caidil gu sèimh |
Sleep peacefully |
|
Is gabh gach gealladh 's gràs bhom chridh' |
And take every promise and blessing from my heart |
|
Caidil o mo leanabh |
Sleep, my child |
