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 |
