Rachainn a shuiridh' air Oighrig
Rachainn a shuiridh' air Oighrig | I would go courting Oighrig |
Shùgradh ris a' mhaighdinn | To make love to the maiden |
Rachainn a shireadh do chaoimhneis | I would go seeking your kindness |
Ged bhiodh an oidhche reòdht' ann | Though the night be freezing |
Rachainn a shuiridh' air Oighrig | I would go courting Oighrig |
Shùgradh ris a' mhaighdinn | To make love to the maiden |
Rachainn a shireadh do chaoimhneis | I would go seeking your kindness |
Ged bhiodh an oidhche reòdht' ann | Though the night be freezing |
'S beag orm rudan a chì mi | How little do I like what I see |
Mnathan ag ithe 's ag innse | Women who eat and then tell tales |
'S athaiseach siud air mo mhnaoi-sa | That came easily to my woman |
Thug iad an t-im glè òg ghith | They gave her the butter while still young |
'S beag orm rudan a chì mi | How little do I like what I see |
Mnathan ag ithe 's ag innse | Women who eat and then tell tales |
'S athaiseach siud air mo mhnaoi-sa | That came easily to my woman |
Thug iad an t-im glè òg ghith | They gave her the butter while still young |
