Chorus (after each verse): |
|
'S toigh leam cruinneag dhonn nam bó |
I love the brown-haired milkmaid |
|
Shuibhlainn leat troimh choill nan cnò |
I would traverse the hazel-wood with you |
|
'S toigh leam cruinneag dhonn nam bó |
I love the brown-haired milkmaid |
| |
|
|
'S toigh leam cruinneag dhonn na h-àrigh |
I love the brown-haired lass from the shieling |
|
Dh'an tug mi mo ghràdh 's mi òg |
To whom I pledged my love as a youth |
| |
|
|
'S toigh leam banarach na buaile |
I love the milkmaid from the fold |
|
Buain a'fhraoich gu dath a' chlò |
Plucking the heather to dye the cloth |
| |
|
|
Shiùbhlainn leat troimh choill a' bharraich |
I would walk through the birch-forest with you |
|
Ged bhiodh càch a fanaid òirnn |
Though the others would be mocking us |
| |
|
|
Ri cur a' chrodh-laoigh dh'an innis |
When putting the cows to pasture |
|
Dh'aithnichinn a' tighinn do cheòl |
I would recognize you by your singing |
| |
|
|
'S toigh leam cruinneag dhonn nam bó... |
I love the brown-haired milkmaid... |
