|
Latha dhomh 's mi buain a'choirce |
One day I was reaping oats |
|
Gheārr mi beum 's cha robh e socair |
I made a cut which was not easy |
| |

Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Ho ro sna hoir ri ri o |
Ho ro sna hoir ri ri o |
|
Hi ri ri ri ho ro eile |
Hi ri ri ri ho ro eile |

Ho ro sna hoir ri ri o |
Ho ro sna hoir ri ri o |

|
Gheārr mi beum 's cha robh e socair |
I made a cut which was not easy |
|
Ghčarr mi mo ghlųn is leig mi osna |
I cut my knee and let out a sigh |
| |
|
|
Shuidh mi air uachdair a'ghoirtein |
I sat at the top of the field |
|
Dh'fheuch am faicinn fear do choltais |
Trying to see someone like you |
| |
|
|
Dh'fheuch am faicinn fear do choltais |
Trying to see someone like you |
|
Fear 'chųil duinn 's nan gruaidhean dosrach |
A brown-haired man with a fair face |
| |
|
|
Fhaoilinn bhig a shnamhas an caolas |
Oh little seagull who swims the straights |
|
Beir mo shoraidh bhuam gu'm leannain |
Take my greeting to my love | |
