Lyrics: |
English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Chan e caoidh Mhic Shiridh |
'Tis not lamenting o'er MhicShiridh |
|
A dh'fhàg an dil air mo ghruaidh |
That on my cheeks the tears remain |
| |
|
|
Sèist: |
Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Hu oh ro hu oh |
Hu oh ro hu oh |
|
Ho ro oh hi oh hi oh |
Ho ro oh hi oh hi oh |
|
Hu oh ro hu oh |
Hu oh ro hu oh |
| |
|
|
Ach a caoidh mo bhràthair |
It is lamenting my brother |
|
Chaidh a bhàthadh 'sa chuan |
For he's the one who's drowned at sea |
| |
|
|
'S duilich leam do chùl chlanaich |
I am sad to think of your hair |
|
Bhi san fheamainn ga luadh |
Entwined in the drifting seaweed |
| |
|
|
'S duilich leam do gheal dheudan |
I am sad to think of your white teeth |
|
Bhi ga reubadh sa chuan |
Smashed against the rocks |
| |
|
|
Tha do leabaidh gun chàradh |
I see your bed is not made |
|
Anns ant-seòmar ud shuas |
In the chamber up there |
| |
|
|
Ach cha teid mi ga càradh |
I won't be the one to make it |
|
'S fhàd o dh'fhàg thu i fuar |
As cold you left it long ago |
