Chorus (after each verse): |
|
I hiùraibh o, chan eil mi slàn |
I hiuraibh o, I am not well |
|
Hug òrainn o, chan fhaod mi tàmh |
Hug orainn o, I cannot be at rest |
|
I hiùraibh o, chan eil mi slàn |
I hiuraibh o, I am not well |
| |
|
|
'S muladach a' buain an lìn mi |
Sad I am harvesting the flax |
|
'S deòir mo chinn a' ruith gu làr |
With my tears falling to the ground |
| |
|
|
Dhòmhnaill Ghuirm ma rinn thu m'eucoir |
Though you did me an injustice, Donald Gorm |
|
Bha mi dhuit mar thè do chàch |
I treated you like any of the other women would |
| |
|
|
Bha mi dhuit mar do phiuthar |
I treated you as your sister would |
|
Mun robh mi tuilleadh 's na b'fheàrr |
Perhaps even better |
| |
|
|
'S truagh nach robh mi'n riochd na faoileig' |
It's a shame that I wasn't like a seagull |
|
'S aotrom dhèanainn air an t-snàmh |
Swimming gently |
| |
|
|
Dealachadh ri Iain is Dòmhnall |
Separating from Ian and Donald |
|
A leag mo dheòir le cion-fàth |
My tears flowing for a reason |
| |
|
|
Beannachd Dhé bhi agad Eachainn |
God's blessing with you, Hector |
|
Bu tu mo roghainn thar chàich |
You would be my choice above all |
| |
|
|
Bidh mi nisde triall romham |
There is now a journey before me |
|
Is deòir mo chinn a' ruith gu làr |
And my tears flowing to the ground |
