Celtic Lyrics Corner > Puirt a Beul > I ud ud eatharam
I ud ud eatharam
Làrach do thacaidean | The trace of your tackets |
Làrach do chruidean | The trace of your hard boots |
Làrach do bhrògan | The trace of your shoes |
Am bòrd Loch na Muilne | On the plank at the Mill Loch |
Sèist: | Chorus: |
I ud ud eatharam | I ud ud eatharam |
I ud ud aoiream | I ud ud aoiream |
I ud ud eatharam | I ud ud eatharam |
Chunna mise raoir thu | I saw you last night |
Cha b'e brògan tacaideach | You shouldn't have been wearing tackety boots |
Le pleitichean is cruidhean | With patches and hard soles |
Bu chòir a bhith ma d' chasan | On your feet |
Ma 's e caithris bha nad inntinn | If you had a "night visit" in mind |
Carson a bha thu spadsearsachd | Why were you stravaiging |
Timchioll tigh na muilne | Around the Mill House? |
Robh thu'n dùil gu faigheadh tu | Did you think you'd get to |
Gu nighean bhuidhe mhuilleir? | The miller's fair-haired daughter? |
Cha ghabh i idir, idir, thu | She won't have you at all, at all |
Cha dèan i caithris oidhch' leat | She won't entertain you on a "night visit" |
Gu'n cuir thu bhuat na bloidsearan | Until you get rid of those clumsy boots |
'S gu faigh thu brògan foidhne | And get finer footwear |
