Gradh Geal Mo Chridh':
 Fair Love of My Heart

 

  

Bheir mi o hu o

Bheir mi o hu o hi

Bheir mi o hu o ho

'S mi fo bhròn 's tu 'gam dhith

 

'S iomadh oidhche fliuch 'us fuar

Ghabh mi cuairt 'us mi leam fhin

Gus an d'ràinig mise 'n t-àit'

Far robh gradh geal mo chridh'

 

Bheir mi o hu o...

 

 

Dheanainn treabhadh dhuit 'us buan

Chumainn suas thu gun dìth

Bheirinn as a ghreabhal chruaidh

Do mo luaidh teachd-an tìr.

 

Bheir mi o hu o...

 

Ged nach 'eil sinn fhathast pòsd

Tha mi an dòchas gum bi

Fhad's a mhaireas mo dha dhòrn

Cha bhi lon oirnn a dhìth

 

Bheir mi o hu o...

 

 

Bheir mi o hu o

Bheir mi o hu o hi

Bheir mi o hu o ho

I am sorrowful needing you

 

Many cold and wet nights

I traveled alone

Before I reached the place

Where I found the fair love of my heart

 

Bheir mi o hu o...

 

 

I would plow and reap for you

I would keep you without need

I would take a livelihood

From the gravel of my heart

 

Bheir mi o hu o...

 

Although we are not yet married

I hope that we will me

As song as my two hands endure

We will want for nothing.

 

Bheir mi o hu o...
