Lyrics Ailein Duinn - Celtic Spirit

Ailein Duinn

Gura mise tha fo e’islean,
Moch sa' mhaduinn is mi g’eirigh,
O hi shiu’bhlainn leat,
Hi ri bho, ho ru bhi,
Hi ri bho, ho rionn o ho,
Ailein duinn, o hi shiu’bhlainn leat.
Ma 'se cluasag dhut a' ghainneamh,
Ma 'se leabaidh dhut an fheamainn,
O hi shiu’bhlainn leat,
Hi ri bho, ho ru bhi,
Hi ri bho, ho rionn o ho,
Ailein duinn, o hi shiu’bhlainn leat.
Ma 'se 'n t-iasg do choinnlean geala,
Ma 'se na ro’in do luchd-faire,
O hi shiu’bhlainn leat,
Hi ri bho, ho ru bhi,
Hi ri bho, ho rionn o ho,
Ailein duinn, o hi shiu’bhlainn leat.
How sorrowful I am Early in the morning rising.
I would go with thee,
Brown-haired Alan,
I would go with thee.
If it is thy pillow the sand,
If it is thy bed the seaweed.
If it is the fish thy candles bright,
If it is the seals thy watchmen.
I would go with thee,
Brown-haired Alan,
I would go with thee.
I would drink, though all would abhor it Of thy heart’s blood after thy drowning.
I would go with thee,
Brown-haired Alan,
I would go with thee.
