Chorus (after each verse): |
|
A hù a hò dheoghail na laoigh |
A hu a ho the calves have sucked |
|
A hù a hò dheoghail na laoigh |
A hu a ho the calves have sucked |
|
A hù a hò dheoghail na laoigh |
A hu a ho the calves have sucked |
|
A bhanarach chaoin, dheoghail an t-àl |
Oh gentle milkmaid, the young have sucked |
| |
|
|
O's gille na gruth, bainne nam bò |
Whiter than crowdy is cow's milk |
|
O's gille na gruth, bainne nam bò |
Whiter than crowdy is cow's milk |
|
O's gille na gruth, bainne nam bò |
Whiter than crowdy is cow's milk |
|
A bhanarach chaoin, 's gil' thu na càch |
Oh gentle milkmaid, you are fairer than the rest |
| |
|
|
Buidhe mar òr cuailean mo ghaoil |
Yellow like gold is my love's hair |
|
Buidhe mar òr cuailean mo ghaoil |
Yellow like gold is my love's hair |
|
Buidhe mar òr cuailean mo ghaoil |
Yellow like gold is my love's hair |
|
A bhanarach chaoin, 's tu-sa mo ghràdh |
Oh gentle milkmaid, you are my love |
| |
|
|
M'ulaidh 's mo rùn cailin nam bò |
My treasure and my darling, the herd maid |
|
M'ulaidh 's mo rùn cailin nam bò |
My treasure and my darling, the herd maid |
|
M'ulaidh 's mo rùn cailin nam bò |
My treasure and my darling, the herd maid |
|
A bhanarach chaoin, m'ulaidh gu bràth |
Oh gentle milkmaid, my treasure forever |
