Seo a bhliadhna dh'fhàg mi dubhach |
This is the year that left me depressed |
Hiurabhi hiurabhi, hi ho ro ho |
Hiurabhi hiurabhi, hi ho ro ho |
Chaill mi mo bhràthair 's mo phiuthar |
I lost my brother and my sister |
Hì ho ro hì, air fàireal il ò |
Hi ho ro hi, air faireal il o |
|
|
Chaill mi mo bhràthair 's mo phiuthar |
I lost my brother and my sister |
Hiurabhi hiurabhi, hi ho ro ho |
Hiurabhi hiurabhi, hi ho ro ho |
Chan e sin a tha mi cumha |
That is not what I lament |
Hì ho ro hì, air fàireal il ò |
Hi ho ro hi, air faireal il o |
|
|
Chan e sin a tha mi cumha |
That is not what I lament |
Hiurabhi hiurabhi, hi ho ro ho |
Hiurabhi hiurabhi, hi ho ro ho |
Ach òigear òg an òir-fhuilt bhuidhe |
But the young man of the golden hair |
Hì ho ro hì, air fàireal il ò |
Hi ho ro hi, air faireal il o |
|
|
Ach òigear òg an òir-fhuilt bhuidhe |
But the young man of the golden hair |
Hiurabhi hiurabhi, hi ho ro ho |
Hiurabhi hiurabhi, hi ho ro ho |
Bhith'n ciste chaoil ri taobh a'bhalla |
To be in the narrow coffin by the wall |
Hì ho ro hì, air fàireal il ò |
Hi ho ro hi, air faireal il o |
|
|
Bhith'n ciste chaoil ri taobh a'bhalla |
To be in the narrow coffin by the wall |
Hiurabhi hiurabhi, hi ho ro ho |
Hiurabhi hiurabhi, hi ho ro ho |
Saor' ga dùnadh 's ùird 'ga barradh |
With the carpenter closing it and the hammer sealing it |
Hì ho ro hì, air fàireal il ò |
Hi ho ro hi, air faireal il o |
