Chorus (after each verse): |
Ho rionn ō, gu dč nė mi |
Ho rionn o, what shall I do? |
'S nach dėrich mi'n gleannan |
When I cannot ascend the glen |
Ho rionn ō, gu dč nė mi |
Ho rionn o, what shall I do? |
|
|
Cha dėrich mi'm bruthach |
I shall not climb the brae |
Chaidh mo shiubhal am maillead |
My walking has slowed down |
|
|
Cha dėrich mi'n cruadhlach |
I shall not climb the hard, strong ground |
Le fuaim na cloich-mheallain |
With the noise of hailstones |
|
|
Cha dėrich mi mhōinteach |
I shall not ascend the moor |
Rinn an t-ōigear mo mhealladh |
The young man has deceived me |
|
|
Gus an cluinn mi do rčiteach |
Until I hear that you have proposed |
Bidh mi'n dč air do leanail |
I shall be keen to follow you |
|
|
Gus an cluinn mi do phōsadh |
Until I hear of your marriage |
Bidh mi'n dųil ri do bhanais |
I shall expect your wedding reception |
