Friendship to Last(original) |
| Méav Ní Mhaolchatha |
| Gura mise tha fo éislean |
| Moch sa mhaduinn is mi g'éirigh |
| Sèist: |
| 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 e 'n cluasag dhuit a ghaineamh |
| Ma 's e leabaidh dhut an gheamainn |
| Ma 's e 'n t-iasg do choinlean geala |
| Ma 's e na ròin do luchd-faire |
| Dh'òlainn deoch ge b' oil le càch e |
| De dh’fhuil do choim 's tu 'n déidh do bhathadh |
| Translation: |
| Brown-haired Alan |
| How sorrowful I am |
| Early in the morning rising |
| Chorus (after each verse): |
| Ò hì, I would go with thee |
| Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì |
| Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho |
| Brown-haired Alan, ò hì, 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 drink, though all would abhor it |
| Of thy heart’s blood after thy drowning |
| (translation) |
| Méav Ní Mhaolchatha |
| That I am distressed |
| Early in the morning I woke up |
| Chorus: |
| 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 your bed is the game |
| If the fish is your white candle |
| If the seals are your watchmen |
| I would drink a drink despite the rest of the others |
| What was the blood on your waist when you drowned |
| Translation: |
| Brown-haired Alan |
| How sorrowful I am |
| Early in the morning rising |
| Chorus (after each verse): |
| Oh hi, I would go with thee |
| Hì ri bò hò ru bhì |
| Hi ri bò hò rinn o ho |
| Brown-haired Alan, ò hì, 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 drink, though all would abhor it |
| Of thy heart’s blood after thy drowning |
