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 |
