An Ribhinn Down(original) |
| Ochoin a ri, 'si mo ribhinn donn |
| Dh 'fhag mi fo mhi-ghean 'us m’inntinn trom |
| Gur e a boichead a rinn mo leonadh |
| 'S cha bhi mi beo gun mo ribhinn donn |
| Is truagh an drasda nach robh mi 'm bhard |
| A ghleusadh clarsach 's a sheinneadh dan |
| 'S gu 'n innsinn buadhan na maighdinn uasail |
| Mu' bheil mo smuaintean gach oidhche 's la |
| Gur boidheach, dualach an cuailean min |
| A th’air a’ghruagaich a bhuair mo chridh' |
| Gur binne comhradh na guth na smeoraich |
| 'S tha mise bronach o’n dh’thag i mi |
| Ged tha mo ghrian-sa a’triall fo sgleo |
| Is mise 'm bliadhna mar ian 'sa cheo |
| Togaidh 'n sgaile 's ni ise dearrsadh |
| 'S gu 'm faigh mi slainte gach la ri 'm bheo |
| (translation) |
| Ochoin to her, she's my brown ribbon |
| I was overwhelmed with anxiety and depression |
| It was her weakness that hurt me |
| And I will not live without my brown ribbon |
| It's a pity right now I wasn't the poet |
| To play the harp and sing the poem |
| And that I may tell of the virtues of the noble maiden |
| About my thoughts every night and day |
| The hair is beautiful, curly |
| The girl who won my heart ' |
| That the conversation of the voice of the thrush was sweet |
| And I'm sad since she left me |
| Although my sun is shining |
| This year I am like a fox in the mist |
| The shadow will lift and she will shine |
| And may I find health every day of my life |
