English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Ailean Duinn a nì 'sa nàire |
Dark-haired Alan, my precious one |
|
O na hi ho rin o ho |
O na hi ho rin o ho |
|
Hi na hi ri hu o |
Hi na hi ri hu o |
| |
|
|
'S goirt is daor gu phàigh mi mal dhut |
Endless grief the price it cost me |
| |
|
|
Cha chrodh laoigh 's cha chaoraich bhàna |
'Twas neither sheep or cattle |
| |
|
|
Ach an luchd a thaom am bàta |
But the load the ship took with her |
| |
|
|
Bha m'athair oirre 's mo thriùir bhràithrean |
My father and my three brothers |
| |
|
|
Chan e sin gu lèir a chràidh mi |
As if this wasn't all my burden |
| |
|
|
Ach am fear a ghlachd air làimh mi |
The one to whom I gave my hand |
| |
|
|
Leathanach a bhroillich bhàn-ghil |
MacLean of the fair skin |
| |
|
|
Gur e mise bhios gu cràiteach |
___ |
| |
|
|
Nuair a ruigeas a sgeul do mhàthair |
___ |
| |
|
|
Their i gur e mise bhàth thu |
___ |
| |
|
|
Aig a mheud 'sa thug mi gràdh dhut |
___ |
