Ho ro, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach,
|
Hi ri, mo nigh'n donn bhoidhech
|
Mo chaileag laghach, bhoidheach,
|
Cha phos mi ach tu.
|
|
Her eye so mildly beaming,
|
Her look so frank and free,
|
In waking or in dreaming,
|
Is evermore with me.
|
|
Ho ro, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach,
|
Hi ri, mo nigh'n donn bhoidhech
|
Mo chaileag laghach, bhoidheach,
|
Cha phos mi ach tu.
|
|
With thy fair face before me
|
How sweetly flew the hour
|
When all thy beauty o'er me
|
Came streaming in its power.
|
|
Ho ro, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach,
|
Hi ri, mo nigh'n donn bhoidhech
|
Mo chaileag laghach, bhoidheach,
|
Cha phos mi ach tu.
|
|
Ho ro, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach,
|
Hi ri, mo nigh'n donn bhoidhech.
|
|
And when with blossoms laden
|
(Bright) Summer comes again
|
I'll fetch my nut brown maiden
|
(Down) From the bonny glen.
|
|
Ho ro, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach,
|
Hi ri, mo nigh'n donn bhoidhech
|
Mo chaileag laghach, bhoidheach,
|
Cha phos mi ach tu.
