It sounds like Fear a Bhata. I hope.

FEAR A BHATA (MY BOATMAN)

CHORUS: Fhir a bhata 'sna horo eile
Fhir a bhata 'sna horo eile
Fhir a bhata 'sna horo eile
Mo shoraidh slan leat 's gach ait an teid thu

'S tric mi sealltuinn o'n chnoc a's airde
Dh'fheuch am faic mi fear a bhata
An tig thu'n diugh no'n tig thu maireach
'S mur tig thu idir gu truagh a ta mi

Tha mo chridhe-sa briste bruite
'S tric na deoir a ruith o'm shuilean
An tig thu nochd no'm bi mo dhuil riut
No'n duin mi'n dorus le osna thursaich

'S tric mi faighneachd de luchd nam bata
Am faic iad thu, no 'm bheil thu sabhailt;
Ach 'sann a tha gach aon diubh 'g raitinn
Gur gorach mise ma thug mi gradh dhuit

CHORUS

TRANSLATION:

CHORUS: O boatman, 's na horo eile
O boatman, 's na horo eile
O boatman, 's na horo eile
Farewell and health to you wherever you go

Often I look from the highest hill
To try and see my boatman
Will you come home today, or will you come home tomorrow
And If you don't come home at all, sad I'll be

My heart is broken and bruised
Often the tears run from my eyes
Will you come home tonight, will I expect you?
Or shall I shut the door with a sad sigh

Often I ask the boat crews
If they have seen you or If you are safe
But each one of them says
That I was foolish to give my love to you
