Lyrics: |
English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Cheart cho luath 's a dh'imich thu |
As soon as you emigrated |
|
'S an tir shuas gu'n d'innis iad |
They spoke of it all over the land |
|
'S ged bha do ghaol mar theine dhomh |
And although your love was like a fire within me |
|
Cha 'n fhaiceadh cach mi sileadh leis |
I would not let others see how much it affects me |
| |
|
|
Sèist: |
Chorus (after each verse): |
|
'S olc a dh'fhag an uiridh mi |
Last year left me feeling very poorly |
|
An uiridh, 'n uiridh, 'n uiridh mi |
It was last year, last year, last year |
|
'S olc a dh'fhag an uiridh mi |
Last year left me feeling very poorly |
|
An uiridh dh'fhalbh an gille uam |
Last year my beloved went from me |
| |
|
|
'S e thug dhomhs' sud iomrachadh |
What has made me mention this |
|
Eagal mo chliu a mhilleadh leis |
Is the fear of my reputation being spoiled |
|
'S ged bheirinn eibh a chluinneadh tu |
And supposing I gave a long shout you could hear |
|
Gu 'm faiceadh cach nach pilleadh tu |
It'd be obvious to others that you'd not return |
| |
|
|
Nis o'n chaidh thu as an tir |
Now that you've gone from this land |
|
'S iad do dhaoin' a 's fine liom |
Your people are the ones I think most of |
|
Gur h-e do ghaol is tinne dhomh |
Your love is what is most important to me |
|
'S do chliu o chach a 's binne liom |
And to hear your praises from others is sweetest to me |
