74 Buain A' Choirce 74


 
Séist
Ho ro 's na ho ri ri o
Hi ri ri ri ho ro éile
Ho ro 's na ho ri ri o

Latha dhomh 's mi buain a' choirce
Gheàrr mi beum 's cha robh e socair
 
Gheàrr mi beum 's cha robh e socair
Gheàrr mi mo ghlùn is leig mi osna
 
Shuidh mi air uaibhir a' ghoirtein
Dh'fheuch am faicinn fear do choltais
 
Dh'fheuch am faicinn fear do choltais
Fear chuil duinn 's nan gruaidhean dosrach
 
Fhaoilinn bhig a shnàmhas an caolas
Bheir mo shoraidh uam gu mo leannan.
One day as I was reaping the oats
I cut a stroke and it wsn't pleasant
 
I cut a stroke and it wsn't pleasant
I cut my knee and I let out a groan
 
I sat away on the slope of the little field
To try to see a man like you.
 
To try to see a man like you
One of brown hair and bushy brows
 
Little seagull who swims the strait
Bear my greetings from me to my sweetheart.

Òran buana; song of reaping / Òran spealaid; song of scything
