| 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. |
