Translation of the song lyrics Mo Chailin Dileas Donn - Capercaillie

Mo Chailin Dileas Donn (original)

Gu ma slàn a chì mi
Mo chailin dìleas donn
Bean a chuailein réidh air
An deas a dh'éireadh fonn
'Si cainnt do bheòil bu bhinne leam
An uair bhiodh m’inntinn trom
'S tu thogadh suas mo chridh'
'Nuair bhiodh tu bruidheann riùm
Gur muladach a tà mi
'S mi nochd air aird a' chuain
'S neo-shunndach mo chadal dhomh
'S do chaidreamh fada bhuam
Gur tric mi ort a smaointeach'
As t’aogais tha mi truagh
'Is mar a dean mi d' fhaotainn
Cha bhi mo shaoghal buan
Tacan mu’n do sheòl sinn
Is ann a thòisich càch
Ri innse do mo chruinneag-sa
Nach tillin-sa gu brath
Na cuireadh sud ort gruaimean
A luaidh, ma bhios mi slàn l
Cha chùm dad idir 'uat mi
Ach saighead chruaidh a’bhàis

Mo Chailin Dileas Donn (translation)

Goodbye
My faithful brown haired girl
A woman whose hair was ready
Nice to get excited
The language of your mouth is sweetest to me
When my mind was heavy
And you lifted up my heart
‘When you would talk to me
How sad I am
And I appeared on the high seas
My sleep is restless
Your relationship is far from me
I often think of you '
I teach you a pity
'And how do I get you
My world will not last
Just before we set sail
The others started
To tell my girlfriend
I will never return
Don't let that make you gloomy
My love, if I am well l
Nothing will keep me from you
But the sharp arrow of death
