|
O thèid is gun tèid |
Oh I'll go, I'll surely go |
O thèid mi thairis |
Oh I will go over |
Gu innis nam bò |
To the cattle grazings |
Far an ceòlmhòr ainnir |
Where the young women are tuneful |
|
|
Sèist: |
Chorus (after each verse): |
Ill ò bha hò |
Ill ò bha hò |
S'na hao ri ri rì o hi |
S'na hao ri ri rì o hi |
Hoireann o gù o hill ò bha hò |
Hoireann o gù o hill ò bha hò |
|
|
Gu innis nam bò |
To the cattle grazings |
Far an ceòlmhòr ainnir |
Where the young women are tuneful |
Gu Bràighe Loch Iall |
To the Braes of Locheil |
Far am bith fiadh s'an langan |
Where the bellowing stags are |
|
|
Gu Bràighe Loch Iall |
To the Braes of Locheil |
Far am bith fiadh s'an langan |
Where the bellowing stags are |
Is earbag nan stùc |
And the little roe of the peaks |
Tha lùghmhor eangar |
So nimble and lightfooted |
|
|
Is earbag nan stùc |
And the little roe of the peaks |
Tha lùghmhor eangar |
So nimble and lightfooted |
A bhean an fhuilt rèidh |
Girl with the glossy hair |
Guidheam fhèin dhut mo bheannachd |
I give you my blessing |
|
|
A bhean an fhuilt rèidh |
Girl with the glossy hair |
Guidheam fhèin dhut mo bheannachd |
I give you my blessing |
Mo beannachd ad dhèidh |
My blessing go with you |
Ged is fheudar bhith dealaicht |
Though we had to part |
|
|
O thèid is gun tèid |
Oh I'll go, I'll surely go |
O thèid mi dhachaidh |
Oh I will go home |
Gu Bràighe Loch Iall |
To the Braes of Locheil |
Far am bith fiadh s'an langan |
Where the bellowing stags are |
|
|
(Sèist 2x) |
(Chorus 2x) |
