Chorus (after each verse): |
|
A Dhòmhnaill bhig o hù o hò |
Oh little Donald, o hu o ho |
|
A Dhòmhnaill bhig o hù o hò |
Oh little Donald, o hu o ho |
|
A Dhòmhnaill bhig o hù o hò |
Oh little Donald, o hu o ho |
|
Tha m'inntinn trom o'n dhealaich sinn |
My mind is sad since we parted |
|
A Dhòmhnaill bhig o hù o hò |
Oh little Donald, o hu o ho |
| |
|
|
A Dhòmhnaill bhig 's tu m'ùidh is m'annsachd |
Oh little Donald, you are my interest and my loved one |
|
'S i do bhlàthshuil grian mo shamhraidh |
Your warm eyes are the sun of my summer |
|
Chlaon gach ni gu duibhre geamhraidh |
Everything changed to the darkness of winter |
|
Bho'n a chaill mi sealladh ort |
Since I lost sight of you |
| |
|
|
Dh'fhàg mi'n diugh thu fhèin 's do mhàthair |
Today I left you and your mother |
|
As mo dhèidh ro chianail, cràiteach |
After me, very sad and depressed |
|
Cruadhs' na bliadhna 's chan e 'n t-àilgheas |
'Twas the hardship of the year and not arrogance |
|
Chuir an dràsd' do Shasunn mi |
Has caused me to go to England just now |
| |
|
|
'S beag tha dh'fhios aig fleasgach aosda |
Little do old men know |
|
Liuthad ànradh is cruaidh-fhaochadh |
The many troubles and hardships |
|
Th'aig fear-teaghlaich air bheag mhaoin |
That a family man with little money has |
|
A'strì ri saoghal carraideach |
Struggling against a troublesome world |
