Séist Ho ro b'e mo rùn thu, Ma ged chur thu do chul rium, 'S ann a tha mo rùn air, A nighean ùr a thréig mi. An oidhche bha luadhadh ann, A rinn na balaich gluasad, Gu 'n cùm iad ceann an tuath i, 'S mo thruaighe mar a dh'éirich. An nuas aig àite Thòrmaid, Sin far 'n tachair garbh ruidh, Thuirt càileag Mhór, "Gu dearbha, Tha'n fhearg air a'bheist ùd". 'S ann an uair sin dheoinich iad, Gu'n tigeadh Angie chòmhla riu, 'S ann aig Niall beag bha spors oirre, 'S na boys air na "reine". A nuas aig àite Sheòrais, Cha robh na fìr 'ga soradh, Thuirt Angie ri Dòmhnull, Nach bòidheach an ceum aic'." Thuirt Dòmhnull John gu caoimhneil, "Fuilingsidh na sleigha pila, 'S e Calum rinn a ghoibhneachd, 'S a splois chur na chéile". Bha Murdoch cuideachd còmhla, E-féin agus Dòmhnull, Gu'n tàinig Kennie Eolla, Is thug iad leo Sarag. Tha Dòmhnull aig raitinn, Gu'm pòs e gun dail i, Gu'n iarr e i air Màiri, Son cach cha bhi eis ann. |
Chorus Ho Ro, you're my love still Although you won't have me, o It's you I'm in love with, Young maiden who has left me. The night of the milling Was when the boys got going And then they headed northward A pity how it happened. 'Twas down at Norman's farm that They ran into trouble, Then Mórag said, "Indeed now. That beast is surely away And 'twas then that they agreed That Angus should accompany them, And little Neil had lots of fun With those who were driving. Then down where George is living The boys still would not spare her, Said Angus to Donald "How handsome her step is." Said Donald John quite kindly, "Certainly the sleigh will stand it, 'Twas Malcolm did the smith's work And spliced it together." Now Murdoch came along with them, He himself and Donald, And then came Kennie Eolla And Sara was with them. And Donald is saying That soon he would wed her. That he'd ask Mary for her. There's no one will stop him. |
