Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Gur h-e mo ghille dubh-dhonn |
He is my dark brown lad |
|
Gur tù mo chuilean runach |
You are my beloved darling |
|
Gur h-e mo ghille dubh-dhonn |
He is my dark brown lad |
| |
|
|
San a'raoir nach d'fhuair mi'n cadal |
It was last night I couldn't sleep |
|
Bha mì fad 'nam dùsgadh |
I was awake for a long time |
| |
|
|
Smaointin air an fhear a thrèig mi |
Thinking of the man that forsook me |
|
'S nach d'rinn feum dha chumhtan |
Who didn't keep his promise |
| |
|
He's gone, he's gone, my lover's gone
And left me broken hearted |
|
| |
|
|
Chuala mi gun d'rinn thù Dhomhnaill |
I heard, Donald |
|
Posadh ann an Niubhraidh |
That you got married in Newry |
| |
|
Domhnall Donn the people say
You've married down in Newry |
|
| |
|
|
B'fhearr leam fhin a bheith riut posda |
I would prefer to be married to you |
|
Na cuid ór a Phrionnsa |
Than to have the Prince's gold |
| |
|
I would rather have you, Donall
Than the gold of princes |
|
| |
|
|
Och nam och mar tha mi nochd |
Alas how I am tonight |
|
Trom osnaidh 's mi gad iondrainn |
Sighing heavily as I long for you |
