Celtic Lyrics Corner > Puirt a Beul > Tighinn air a' mhuir tha'm fear a phòsas mi

Tighinn air a' mhuir tha'm fear a phòsas mi

Tighinn air a' mhuir tha'm fear a phòsas mi Coming on the sea is the one I'll marry
Tighinn air a' mhuir tha'm fear a phòsas mi Coming on the sea is the one I'll marry
Tha e tighinn air an t-slighe, gille buidhe bòidheach He is coming on the way, the bonny yellow-haired lad
Ciobair nan òisgean a phòsas mi Shepherd of the sheep whom I'll marry
Tighinn air a' mhuir tha'm fear a phòsas mi Coming on the sea is the one I'll marry
Tighinn air a' mhuir tha'm fear a phòsas mi Coming on the sea is the one I'll marry
Tha e tighinn air an t-slighe, gille buidhe bòidheach He is coming on the way, the bonny yellow-haired lad
Ciobair nan òisgean a phòsas mi Shepherd of the sheep whom I'll marry
   
Sèist: Chorus:
Tha m'ulaidh air, tha m'ulaidh air, tha m'ulaidh air a' chìobair My treasure, my treasure, my treasure the shepherd
Tha m'aighear air, tha m'aighear air, tha m'aighear air a' chìobair My joy, my joy, my joy the shepherd
O m'eudail air an t-sùil, air a' mhala bha 's a' chionn My darling the eye, and the brow above it
Rùn mo chridhe air a' ghille, gràdhan air The lad is the desire of my heart, I love him
Tha m'ulaidh air, tha m'ulaidh air, tha m'ulaidh air a' chìobair My treasure, my treasure, my treasure the shepherd
Tha m'aighear air, tha m'aighear air, tha m'aighear air a' chìobair My joy, my joy, my joy the shepherd
O m'eudail air an t-sùil, air a' mhala bha 's a' chionn My darling the eye, and the brow above it
Rùn mo chridhe air a' ghille, gràdhan air The lad is the desire of my heart, I love him
   
Theid thu null air an fhadhail, ni thu sin You will cross the ford, you will
Thig thu nall air an fhadhail, ni thu sin You will come across the ford, you will
Theid thu null air an fhadhail, ni thu ghruagach a thaghadh You will go across the ford, and choose the girl
Far na dh'fhàg thu do roghainn bith thu sin Where you left your choice, you will be there
Theid thu null air an fhadhail, ni thu sin You will cross the ford, you will
Thig thu nall air an fhadhail, ni thu sin You will come across the ford, you will
Theid thu null air an fhadhail, ni thu ghruagach a thaghadh You will go across the ford, and choose the girl
Far na dh'fhàg thu do roghainn bith thu sin Where you left your choice, you will be there
