English Translation: |
| |
|
|
A chailin aluinn dha'n tug mi'n gradh-sa |
Oh beautiful girl to whom I gave my love |
|
'S i fhein as aille na blaths' nan ros |
She alone has more beauty than the fair roses |
|
Gun i bhith laimh rium 's ann tursach tha mi |
Without her I am sorrowful |
|
A chailin aluinn 's tu fath mo bhroin |
Oh beautiful girl, you are the cause of my sadness |
| |
|
|
An am dhomh dusgadh is mi nam aonar |
On waking when I am alone |
|
'S e sin an uair as moth' mo bhron |
That is the time I am most sad |
|
Bidh mo smuaintean air a' chailin uasail |
My thoughts are with the noble girl |
|
A dh'imich bhuam-sa 's a rinn mo leon |
Who went from me and wounded me |
| |
|
|
A chailin aluinn gun tug mi gradh dhut |
Beautiful girl, I gave my heart to you |
|
Thig na mo chomhnaidh mo luaidh 's mo stor |
Come to me, my darling and my treasure |
|
'S abair rium-sa gur tu mo ghradh geal |
Tell me that you are my fair love |
|
'S bith mise aghmhor gun aobhar craidh |
And I'll be joyful without reason for torment |
| |
|
|
Nach tig thu leam-sa a chailin aluinn |
Won't you come with me, beautiful girl |
|
Gu siorruidh brath cha bhith ort bron |
And forever more you'll know no sorrow |
|
Sheinninn ceol dhut mar cheol na clarsaich |
I would sing to you like the music of the clarsach |
|
'S mar ghuth na smeoraich an driuchd an fheoir |
Like the voice of the song-thrush in the dewy grass |
| |
|
|
A chailin aluinn gun tug mi gradh dhut |
Beautiful girl, I gave my heart to you |
|
Thig na mo chomhnaidh mo luaidh 's mo stor |
Come to me, my darling and my treasure |
|
'S abair rium-sa gur tu mo ghradh geal |
Tell me that you are my fair love |
|
'S bith mise aghmhor gun aobhar craidh |
And I'll be joyful without reason for torment |
