English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Thig am bàta, hug o |
The boat will come, hug o |
|
Moch am màireach, hug o |
Early tomorrow, hug o |
|
Bidh m'athair innt', hi ri o |
My father will be in her, hi ri o |
|
'S mo thriùir bhràithrean, hug o |
And my three brothers, hug o |
| |
|
|
'S mo chéile donn, hug o |
And my brown-haired husband, hug o |
|
Air ràmh braghad, hug o |
On the breast oar, hug o |
|
Gheibh iad mise, hi ri o |
They'll find me, hi ri o |
|
Air mo bhàthadh, hug o |
Drowned, hug o |
| |
|
|
Togaidh iad mi, hug o |
They'll lift me up, hug o |
|
Air na ràmhan, hug o |
On the oars, hug o |
|
Mo bhreacan donn, hi ri o |
My brown plaid, hi ri o |
|
Snàmh na fairrge, hug o |
Swimming the sea, hug o |
| |
|
|
Cha b'e 'n t-acras, hug o |
It wasn't hunger, hug o |
|
Chuir do'n tràigh mi, hug o |
That sent me to the strand, hug o |
|
Miann an duileasg, hi ri o |
Or craving for dulse, hi ri o |
|
Miann nam beàrnach, hug o |
Or limpets, hug o |
| |
|
|
Fhir ud thall, hug o |
Man yonder, hug o |
|
Falbh na tràghad, hug o |
Walking on the strand, hug o |
|
Soraidh bhuamsa, hi ri o |
Bid farewell, hi ri o |
|
Gu mo mhathair, hug o |
To my mother, hug o |
| |
|
|
O mo mhallachd, hug o |
Oh my curses, hug o |
|
Aig bean eudaich, hug o |
On the jealous woman, hug o |
|
Dh'fhàg i mise, hi ri o |
She left me, hi ri o |
|
'S an sgeir bhàthte, hug o |
On the rock of drowning, hug o |
| |
|
|
Thig am bàta, hug o |
The boat will come, hug o |
|
Moch am màireach, hug o |
Early tomorrow, hug o |
|
Gheibh iad mise, hi ri o |
They'll find me, hi ri o |
|
Air mo bhàthadh, hug o |
Drowned, hug o |
