Translation of the song lyrics Ailein Duinn - Annwn

Ailein Duinn (original)

Gura mise tha fo éislean
Moch sa mhaduinn is mi g'éirigh
Ò hì shiùbhlainn leat
Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì
Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho
Ailein Duinn, ò hì shiùbhlainn leat
Ma 's'en cluasag dhuit a ghaineamh
Ma 'se leabaidh dhut an gheamainn
Ò hì shiùbhlainn leat
Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì
Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho
Ailein Duinn, ò hì shiùbhlainn leat
Ma 's en t-iasg do choinlean geala
Ma 's e na ròin do luchd-faire
Ò hì shiùbhlainn leat
Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì
Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho
Ailein Duinn, ò hì shiùbhlainn leat
Dh'òlainn deoch ge boil le càch e
De dh’fhuil do choim 's tu 'n déidh do bhathadh
Ò hì shiùbhlainn leat
Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì
Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho
Ailein Duinn, ò hì shiùbhlainn leat

Ailein Duinn (translation)

That I am distressed
Early in the morning I woke up
Oh hi I would walk with you
Hì ri bò hò ru bhì
Hi ri bò hò rinn o ho
Brown Allan, oh, I would walk with you
If your pillow is sand
If the game is a bed for you
Oh hi I would walk with you
Hì ri bò hò ru bhì
Hi ri bò hò rinn o ho
Brown Allan, oh, I would walk with you
If your white candles are fish
If the seals are your watchmen
Oh hi I would walk with you
Hì ri bò hò ru bhì
Hi ri bò hò rinn o ho
Brown Allan, oh, I would walk with you
I would drink from the boil of others
What was the blood on your waist when you drowned
Oh hi I would walk with you
Hì ri bò hò ru bhì
Hi ri bò hò rinn o ho
Brown Allan, oh, I would walk with you
