Chorus: |
|
Hill eileadh ho gu |
Hill eileadh ho gu |
|
Dh'fhalabh mo run bho chionn seachdain |
My love has been gone for a week |
|
Hill eileadh ho gu |
Hill eileadh ho gu |
| |
|
|
Dh'fhalbh mo rųn air a' bhāta |
On a ship my love departed |
|
Guma slan thig e dhachaigh |
May he come home safely |
| |
|
|
(Sčist) |
(Chorus) |
| |
|
|
Dh'fhalbh mo rųn bho chionn bliadhna |
A year ago my love departed |
|
Dh'fhalbh mo chiall bho chionn seachdain |
A week ago my darling left me |
| |
|
|
(Sčist 2x) |
(Chorus 2x) |

Tha mo cheist ort a Dhōmhnaill |
My love is for you, Donald |

B'e tu 'n t-ōganach dreachar |
You were the comely youth |

(Sčist) |
(Chorus) |

|
'S mi ri feitheamh Caol Ėle |
And I am waiting at the sound of Islay |
|
Cinntėre nan cas bheannan |
Seeing Kintyre of the steep hills |
| |
|
|
(Sčist 2x) |
(Chorus 2x) |
| |
|
|
B'e mo mhiann a bhith sųgradh |
I would like to be love-making |
|
Ri ōg ųr a chųil chleachdaich |
With the fair youth of curly hair |
| |
|
|
(Sčist 2x) |
(Chorus 2x) |
| |
|

Tha mo cheist ort a Dhōmhnaill |
My love is for you, Donald |

B'e tu 'n t-ōganach dreachar |
You were the comely youth |
| |

|
(Sčist 3x) |
(Chorus 3x) |

|
|
B'e mo rųn a bhith rčidh riut |
I would like to be pleasing to you |
|
'S bhith gur n-čigheach aig altair |
Being married to you at the altar |
| |
|
|
(Sčist) |
(Chorus) |
| |
|
|
'S ann tha cāirdean mo leannain |
My love is related |
|
A's na h-eileinean tarsuinn |
In the far-flung islands |
| |
|
|
(Sčist) |
(Chorus) |
| |
|
|
Clann Dōmhnaill, Clann Raghnaill |
To Clan Donald, Clan Ranald |
|
Clann Laomainn, Clann Lachlainn |
Clan Lamont, Clan Lachlann |
| |
|
|
(Sčist...) |
(Chorus...) |
