|
Ochoin hi ri, ho ri u o hi |
Ochoin hi ri, ho ri u o hi |
Tha m'inntinn truagh 's cha bhuannaich mi |
My thoughts are heavy and I shall not win |
Ged dh'innsinn duit do luach 'nam chridh' |
Though I should tell you your worth in my heart |
Ochoin hi ri, ho ri u o hi |
Ochoin hi ri, ho ri u o hi |
|
|
O's truagh nach robh sinn og le cheil |
Pity that we were not young together |
'S an eilean cheothach ghleannanach |
In the misty island of the glens |
A' lennanachd mar eoin nan geug |
Courting like the birds of the branches |
Sinn solasach le beannachdan |
Happy with blessings |
|
|
'S ged tha Loch Laomain lainnireach |
And though Loch Lomond is glittering |
Le grian a' soillseadh thairis air |
With the sun shining across it |
Thoir dhomhs' a bheinn taobh thall de'n chaol |
Give me the mountain on the other side of the straight |
'S mi ann le m' ghaol na fhaileas dhomh |
There with my love as a shadow |
|
|
O 's truagh tha mi nach d'fhag mi'n saoghal |
Oh pity that I did not leave the world |
Mun tug mi 'n gradh nach fhaodar leam |
Before I gave the love that is forbidden |
Chan fhaigh mi tamh, 's chan fhaigh mi sith |
I will get no rest, I will get no peace |
Ho ro u o hi gun chaochail mi |
Ho ru u o hi, that I might die |
|
|
Ochoin hi ri, ho ri u o hi |
Ochoin hi ri, ho ri u o hi |
Tha m'inntinn truagh 's cha bhuannaich mi |
My thoughts are heavy and I shall not win |
Ged dh'innsinn duit do luach 'nam chridh' |
Though I should tell you your worth in my heart |
Ochoin hi ri, ho ri u o hi |
Ochoin hi ri, ho ri u o hi |
