Ailein Duinn (Theme From The Movie "Rob Roy")(original) |
| Gura mise tha fo éislean How sorrowful I am |
| Moch sa mhaduinn is mi g'éirigh Early in the morning rising |
| Sèist: Chorus (after each verse): |
| Ò hì shiùbhlainn leat Ò hì, I would go with you |
| Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì |
| Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho |
| Ailein Duinn, ò hì shiùbhlainn leat Brown-haired Alan, ò hì, I would go with you |
| Ma 's'en cluasag dhuit a ghaineamh If your pillow is the sand |
| Ma 'se leabaidh dhut an gheamainn If your bed is the seaweed |
| Ma 's en t-iasg do choinlean geala If the fish are your bright candles |
| Ma 's e na ròin do luchd-faire If the seals are your watchmen |
| Dh'òlainn deoch ge boil le càch e I’d drink, though all abhor it |
| De dh’fhuil do choim 's tu 'n déidh do bhathadh Of your heart’s blood after |
| your drowning |
| (translation) |
| How sorrowful I am |
| Early in the morning rising |
| Chorus: Chorus (after each verse): |
| Oh hi I would go with you Oh, I would go with you |
| Hi to cow hò ru bhì Hi to cow hò ru bhì |
| Hi ho cow o ho hi hi ri cow ho o ho |
| Brown-haired Alan, oh hi, I would go with you |
| If your pillow is the sand |
| If your bed is the seaweed |
| If the fish are your bright candles |
| If the seals are your watchmen |
| I’d drink, though all abhor it |
| Of your heart's blood after you were drowned Of your heart's blood after |
| your drowning |
