Pretty song, enjoy



Lyrics: English Translation:
Gura muladach tha mi I am sad
'S mi air àirigh chruidh-bhainne On sheiling of dairy cattle

Sèist: Chorus (after each verse):
Seinn o ho rò seinn Sing o ho rò sing
Seinn o ho rò leannain Sing o ho rò darling
Seinn o ho rò seinn Sing o ho rò sing

Gura muladach sgìth mi I am sad and weary
'S mi leam fhìn an tìr m'aineoil Alone in an unknown land

Cha b'ionnann mar bha mi My circumstances are unlike
Man do dh'fhàg mi 'm Bràigh Raineach They were before leaving Rannoch Moor

Le m'phiuthar 's le mo bhràthair With my brother and sister
Cead bhith mànran ri m'leannan And had permission to dally with my sweetheart

Ann am bothag an t-sùgraidh In the little hut of lovemaking
'S e ba dùnadh dhi barrach Its entrance was closed with brush tops

Ann an Eilean nan Leòdach In the Isle of Lewis
Far am pòs gach caileag Where every girl will wed

'Se bu leaba dhuinn luachair Our bed was rushes
'S e bu chluasag dhuinn canach Our pillow was bog cotton

Seinn, o ho rò, Ruairidh Sing, o ho rò, Rory
Bidh daoin-uasal' air do bhanais Noblemen will attend your wedding feast

Seinn, o ho rò, Thormaid Sing, o ho rò, Norman
Fhir nan gorm-shùilean meallach Of the blue beguiling eyes

'S ged nach bi mi 'ga innse Although I won't reveal it
'S ann an Ile tha mo leannan My sweetheart dwells in Islay

'S ged nach bi mi 'ga ràidhtinn Although I won't say it
Thug mi gràdh dhut 's mi 'm leanabh I have loved you since I was a child
