They gave me this bit of it, but I suspect it's a longer song. I haven't found any more in any of my Gaelic song books. Would anyone recognize it and know of any other verses?

The page includes a sound file of Kay MacDonald singing, lyrics and translation. Mo Rìbhinn Choibhneil Sèist Nach robh mise ‘s mo rìbhinn choibhneil Anns a’ choill far an goir an smeòrach; Eòin air gheugan ‘s iad seinn le aoibhneas, ‘S a’ ghrian a’ soillseadh gu boillsgeach bòidheach. 1. Tha do ghruaidhean cho dearg ri caorann, Mar ite faoilinn do mhuineal bhòidheach, Dà shùil mhìogach a mhealladh mìltean, ‘S do chùl snìomhain mar it’ an lòn-duibh. 2. Tha mais is àilleachd is suairceas nàdair Anns an àilleig tha banail mòdhar; ‘S e gaol na rìbhinn chuir mi fo mhì-ghean ‘S a bhrist mo chrìdh’ ‘s a dh’fhàg m’inntinn bronach. 3. Ged a sheòlainn-sa thar nan cuantan Gum bi mo smuaintean gach uair mun òg-bhean; Bhon thug i cùl rium tha mi làn tùrsa, Mo chreach ‘s mo dhìubhail ‘s i chiùrr ‘s a leòn mi. 4. Soraidh slàn leis an rìbhinn mhàlda, Ge b’e àite sam bi i còmhnaidh; ‘S e mo dhùrachd gum bi i sàbhailt, ‘S gach sonas ‘s àgh bhith aic’ fhad’s is beò i. Translation: My Kindly Maiden Chorus If only I and my gentle maid were In the forest where the thrush sings, The birds on the branches singing joyfully And the sun shining brilliantly. 1. Your cheeks are as red as rowan berries, Your lovely neck like a gull’s down, Your playful eyes would beguile thousands, Your plaited tresses are like the blackbird’s feather. 2. There is beauty, nobility and gentility In the lovely one who is modest and mild; The maiden’s love has left me sad, Broken my heart and made me despondent. 3. Although I would sail over the oceans My thoughts will be with the maiden always. Since she rejected me I am filled with sorrow; My ruination and loss, she hurt and wounded me. 4. Farewell forever to the modest lass Wherever she may dwell; My wish is that she will be safe With every joy and good fortune as long as she lives. |
