English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Gura mise tha fo éislean |
How sorrowful I am |
|
Moch sa mhaduinn is mi g'éirigh |
Early in the morning rising |
| |
|
|
Sèist: |
Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Ò hì shiùbhlainn leat |
Ò hì, I would go with you |
|
Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì |
Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì |
|
Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho |
Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho |
|
Ailein Duinn, ò hì shiùbhlainn leat |
Brown-haired Alan, ò hì, I would go with you |
| |
|
|
Ma 's'en cluasag dhuit a ghaineamh |
If your pillow is the sand |
|
Ma 'se leabaidh dhut an gheamainn |
If your bed is the seaweed |
| |
|
|
Ma 's en t-iasg do choinlean geala |
If the fish are your bright candles |
|
Ma 's e na ròin do luchd-faire |
If the seals are your watchmen |
| |
|
|
Dh'òlainn deoch ge boil le càch e |
I'd drink, though all abhor it |
|
De dh'fhuil do choim 's tu 'n déidh do bhathadh |
Of your heart's blood after your drowning |
