Cha t�id mi gu mac a' mhaoir
     O hi r� ri ri ri ri � 
Na idir gu mac an t-saoir
     H� i �-a h� hug �

     HO I U-A HO I U
     HAO RI U-A HO HUG O

Na idir gu mac an t-saoir
     O hi r� ri ri ri ri �
Cha t�id mise cha t�id mi
     H� i  �-a h� hug �

Cha t�id mise cha t�id mi
Cha t�id mi le fear 'san t�r

Cha t�id mi le fear 'san t�r
Gus an tig mo leannan fh�in

Gus an tig mo leannan fh�in
G�omanach a' ghunna chaoil

G�omanach a' ghunna chaoil
Leagadh an eal' air a taobh

Leagadh an eal' air a taobh
     O hi r� ri ri ri ri �
'S earba bheag nan ge�rr-chas caol.
     H� i �-a h� hug �

     HO I U-A HO I U
     HAO RI U-A HO HUG O

M�le marbhaisg air a� ghaol,
Asam fh�n a thug a �n claon;
Sgaoilt e mo chridh as mo chom.   * 
Dh�fhuasgail e �m falt far mo chinn.
Mu �n fhear a dh�fhalbh is nach till

�S truagh nach robh mise �sa luing
Dh�fhalbh dh� Ameireiga null.
Churinn am mate far na sti�ir
Chuirinn an sgiobair �na ghr�nn
Bhithinn fh�n �s mo ghaol fo r�m

* /Sgolt e mo chridh a's mo chom
I won't go to the bailiff's son
     O hi ri ...
and certainly not to the carpenter's son
     Ho i u-a ho hug o




and certainly not to the carpenter's son
     O hi ri ...
I won't go, I won't go.
     Ho i u-a ...

I won't ...
I won't go to any man in the country

I won't ...
Until my own lover comes

Until ...
The hunter with the slender gun

The hunter ...
He would leave the swan lying on its side

He would leave ...
and the little roe-deer with short slim legs.






A thousand curses on love
which has led me astray.
It tore the heart from my breast,   *
It caused the hair to fall from my head,
For one who went away  and won�t return.

Alas that I was not on the ship
that went to America over there.
I�d put the mate off the helm;
I�d send the captain to the bottom;
I�d be below decks with my lover.

Or: It split the heart in my breast
