Lyrics

Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) and English Translation:

'S moch an diugh a rinn mi eirigh
Early I arose

Sèist:
Chorus (after each verse):
Hoireann o hi ri u ho
Hoireann o hi ri u ho
Hu o ai hi o ho eile
Hu o ai hi o ho eile
Hoireann o hi ri u ho
Hoireann o hi ri u ho

Ghabh mi mach ri gleann na geigeadh
I went out by the glen of branches

Thainin mi steach gleann na spreidheadh
I came back by the glen of the flocks

Fhuair mi ghruagach dhonn gun eirigh
I found the brown-haired girl still in bed

Lub mi 'na mo bhreacan fhein i
I folded her in my own plaid

'S thug mi boid nach b'eagal beud dhi
And vowed that she need fear no harm

Gun tugainn dha mathair fhein i
That I would give her to her own mother

'S mise ghaoil a bha 'nam eiginn
How distressed I was, my love

Ach ma thilleas mis' as Eirinn
But if I come back from Ireland

'S tusa ghaoil a gheibh am preusant
What presents you will ge
