GUEST,Sam Lyr Req: Ailein Duinn / Dark Alan (10) RE: Words to Ailein Duinn, or Dark Alan 25 Feb 04


Is seo na faclan as fheàrr gun urrainn dhomh smaoinich de. Tha mi 'n
dòchas gum bi sibh sàsaichte leòtha. Slàinte!
(These are the best words that I can come up with. I hope that you will be satisfied with them. Cheers!)

Gura mise tha fo èislean            (How sorrowful I am
Moch sa' mhadainn is mi 'g èirigh    Early in the morning I am rising)

Sèist:
Ò hì, shiubhalainn leat...            (Ò hì, I would walk with thee...
Hì rì bhò, hò rù bhì
Hì rì bhò, hò rinn ò hò
Ailein Duinn, ò hì shiubhalainn leat   Dark Allan, I'd walk with thee)

Ma 's e 'n cluasag dhut a ghaineamh    (If thy pillow is the sand
Ma 's e leabaidh dhut an gheamainn      If thy bed is the seaweed)

Sèist:

Ma 's en t-iasg do choinlean geala (If the fish are thy candles bright
Ma 's na ròin do luchd-faire       If the seals are thy watchmen)

Sèist:

Dh'òlainn deoch ge boil le càch e (I would drink though all abhor it
Dè dh'fhuil do choim 's tu 'n       Of thy heart's blood after
Dèidh do bhathadh...                Thy drowning.)

Sèist:
