Cha Bhi Mi Buan

Return to TÌR
Picture
Bhon Dualchas | Traditional

Tha gràdh cumhachdach, gu sònraichte aig aois òg, mar a chluinneas sinn anns an òran seo.
A waulking song of young love and powerful emotions. 
​Cha bhi mi buan ’s tu bhith bhuam
Thug mi luaidh òg dhut
Cha bhi mi buan ’s tu bhith bhuam
 
Chì mi ’m bàta dol seachad
Muir a’ sgapadh na bòrdan 

Mura deachaigh mi mearachd
Bha mo leannan ga seòladh

Bha mo leannan ga stiùireadh
Òigear ùr a’ chùil bhòidhich

Òigear ùr a’ chùil bhuidhe
O, b’ aithne dhomh òg thu

’S e do bhòidichean fada
’S ghaol, a Lachlainn, a leòn mi 

O, nam faicinn thu tighinn
’S mi gu ruitheadh nad chòmhdhail

’S mi gu ruitheadh na do choinneimh
Air mo bhonnan gun bhrògan

Ged tha reothadh glè chruaidh ann
’S sneachda fuar air a’ mhòine
I will not last while you are away from me
I gave my young love to you
I will not last while you are away from me

I see the boat going by
The sea scattering about her sides

If I’m not mistaken
My sweetheart was sailing her

My sweetheart was steering her
The fair young man of the beautiful hair

The fair young man of the yellow hair
O, I’ve known you since I was young

It is your lasting vows
And your love, Lachlann, that have afflicted me

O, if I should see you coming
I would run to meet you

I would run to meet you
On the soles of my bare feet

Though there’s a very hard frost
And cold snow on the moor
