O Mhàri 's tu mo Mhairi |
Oh Mary, you are my Mary |
| |
|
|
Och, och mo nighean donn |
Oh my brown-haired girl |
| |
|
|
'S truagh nach robh sinn air tu nall |
___ |
| |
|
|
Truagh nach robh sinn air an àiridh |
Would that we were in the shieling |
| |
|
|
Fo shàile na beinne |
___ |
| |
|
|
Le spréidh de chrodh bainne |
With a herd of milk cows |
| |
|
|
Togail àl de laoigh ghasda |
Raising a herd of fine calves |
| |
|
|
Togail àl de laoigh bhoireann |
A herd of female calves |
| |
|
|
Deanamh ìm agus càis ann |
Making butter and cheese the |
| |
|
|
Chunna mi tighinn na féidh |
I saw the deer coming |
| |
|
|
'S iad a' tighinn as am bùirean |
Bellowing as they came |
| |
|
|
'Truagh nach robh mi air an cùlaibh |
I wish I were behind them |
| |
|
|
Le mo ghunna 's m' adhairc fhùdair |
With my gun and my powder horn |
