Sèist: |
Chorus (after each verse): |
|
A fhleasgaich oig as ceanalta |
Oh most gentle unmarried youth |
|
'Stu leannan nan deas ghruagach |
You hold the hearts of the lovely maidens |
|
Do ghaol a rinn mo sharachadh |
It was your love that troubles me |
|
'S tha a bhlath sin air mo shnuadh-sa |
And the evidence is in my complexion |
| |
|
|
Shiubhlainn fada, fada leat |
I would travel far away with you |
|
Shiubhliann deas is tuath leat |
I would wander north and south with you |
|
Is shnamhainn an Cuan Ronadh leat |
And swim the Rona Sea with you |
|
'S ri m' bheo cha toirinn fuath dhut |
As long as I live, I will not grow to hate you |
| |
|
|
Gur binn thu na na filidhean |
You are the most melodious of poets |
|
Gur siobhalt leam do ghluasad |
I find your behaviour most courteous |
|
Co chunnaic riamh air urlar thu |
Who could ever after seeing you on the floor |
|
Nach duraigeadh bhith suas riut? |
Not wish to be near you? |
| |
|
|
'S ged bheireadh Righ Seoras aite dhuinn |
Even if King George would grant us |
|
Cho ard 's a th'aig duin 'uasal |
A situation as high as a nobleman's |
|
Gum b'fhearr leam bhith air airigh leat |
I would rather be in a sheiling with you |
|
An coil na trath 's na luachrach |
In a young and rusty wood |
