Song | Ailein Duinn (Theme from Rob Roy) |
Artist | Méav |
Album | Celtic Twilight 5 |
Gura mise tha fo éislean | |
(How sorrowful I am) | |
Moch sa mhaduinn is mi g'éirigh | |
(Early in the morning rising) | |
Ò hì shiùbhlainn leat | |
(Ò hì, I would go with you) | |
Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì | |
(Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì) | |
Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho | |
(Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho) | |
Ailein Duinn, ò hì shiùbhlainn leat | |
(Brown-haired Alan, ò hì, I would go with you) | |
Ma 's'en cluasag dhuit a ghaineamh | |
(If your pillow is the sand) | |
Ma 'se leabaidh dhut an gheamainn | |
(If your bed is the seaweed) | |
Ma 's en t-iasg do choinlean geala | |
(If the fish are your bright candles) | |
Ma 's e na ròin do luchd-faire | |
(If the seals are your watchmen) | |
Dh'òlainn deoch ge boil le càch e | |
(I'd drink, though all abhor it) | |
De dh'fhuil do choim 's tu 'n déidh do bhathadh | |
(Of your heart's blood after your drowning) |
Gura mise tha fo é islean | |
How sorrowful I am | |
Moch sa mhaduinn is mi g'é irigh | |
Early in the morning rising | |
Ò hì shiù bhlainn leat | |
Ò hì, I would go with you | |
Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì | |
Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì | |
Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho | |
Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho | |
Ailein Duinn, ò hì shiù bhlainn leat | |
Brownhaired Alan, ò hì, I would go with you | |
Ma ' s' en cluasag dhuit a ghaineamh | |
If your pillow is the sand | |
Ma ' se leabaidh dhut an gheamainn | |
If your bed is the seaweed | |
Ma ' s en tiasg do choinlean geala | |
If the fish are your bright candles | |
Ma ' s e na rò in do luchdfaire | |
If the seals are your watchmen | |
Dh'ò lainn deoch ge boil le cà ch e | |
I' d drink, though all abhor it | |
De dh' fhuil do choim ' s tu ' n dé idh do bhathadh | |
Of your heart' s blood after your drowning |
