|
A Mhairead òg 's tu rinn mo leon |
Oh young Margaret, you caused me pain |
|
'S tu dh'fhag fo bhron 's fo mhulad mi |
You left me with grief and heartache |
|
'N diugh 's an dè air cnoc leam fhein |
Today and yesterday on a hillock on my own |
|
A' sileadh dheur 's mi turraman |
Rocking in my grief |
| |
|
|
'N diugh 's an dè air cnoc leam fhein |
Today and yesterday on a hillock on my own |
|
A' sileadh dheur 's mi turraman |
Rocking in my grief |
|
Och 'si mo mhathair rinn an call |
It was my mother who caused the damage |
|
Nuair chuir i shealag na tunnaig mi |
When she sent me to hunt the ducks |
| |
|
|
Och 'si mo mhathair rinn an call |
It was my mother who caused the damage |
|
Nuair chuir i shealag na tunnaig mi |
When she sent me to hunt the ducks |
|
Nuair rainaig mi an leinne caol |
When I reached the narrow loch |
|
'Sann bha mo ghaol 'a srulagh innte |
Where my love was washing |
| |
|
|
Nuair rainaig mi an leinne caol |
When I reached the narrow loch |
|
'Sann bha mo ghaol 'a srulagh innte |
Where my love was washing |
|
'Se 'n gunna caol a rinn mo leon |
It was the slim gun that caused the pain |
|
Cha teid e oirleach tuilleadh leam |
It won't go another inch with me |
| |
|
|
'Se 'n gunna caol a rinn mo leon |
It was the slim gun that caused the pain |
|
Cha teid e oirleach tuilleadh leam |
It won't go another inch with me |
|
'S ann teid rinn dhomsa linne caol |
The one who made the white shirt |
|
Cha dean thu ghaol gi'n tuilleadh |
You will never, my love, make another one |
