Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Ille dhuinn chaidh tu'm dhìth |
Brown-haired lad, I have lost you |
|
Slàn gun till thu 's gun ruig thu |
Sound may you return and reach |
|
Ille dhuinn chaidh tu'm dhìth |
Brown-haired lad, I have lost you |
| |
|
|
Ille dhuinn a dh'fhalbh a Brògaig |
Brown-haired lad who left Brogaig |
|
Bidh mi brònach gun tig fios ort |
I shall be sad until word comes about you |
| |
|
|
Ille dhuinn an leadain dualaich |
Brown-haired lad of the plaited locks |
|
'S ann Diluain a fhuair mi fios uat |
It was on Monday I got word from you |
| |
|
|
Ille dhuinn an leadain bhoidhich |
Brown-haired lad of the beautiful locks |
|
'S ann fo bhròn a dh'fhàg thu mise |
You have left me sorrowful |
| |
|
|
Ille dhuinn ma dh'fhàg thu'n dùthaich |
Brown-haired lad, if you left the country |
|
'S mòr mo chùram nis nach tig thu |
Great is my concern now that you will not come back |
