Gaelic Song Lyrics - words for some top Scottish songs

Chaidh mo Dhonnachadh dhan bheinn

Chaidh mo Dhonnachadh dhan bheinn
Chaidh mo Dhonnachadh dhan bheinn
Chaidh mo Dhonnachadh dhan bheinn
'S cha d' thill e dhachaidh
'N e do Dhonnchadh-sa bh'ann?
'N e do Dhonnchadh-sa bh'ann?
'N e do Dhonnchadh-sa bh'ann?
Mo chall mar thachair
'S e mo Dhonnchadh-sa bh'ann
'S e mo Dhonnchadh-sa bh'ann
'S e mo Dhonnchadh-sa bh'ann
'S cha till e dhachaidh
Fuil a chridhe 's a chlibh
Fuil a chridhe 's a chlibh
Fuil a chridhe 's a chlibh
Ann am brid a' bhreacain
Chaidh mo Dhonnchadh dhan bheinn
Chaidh mo Dhonnchadh dhan bheinn
Chaidh mo Dhonnchadh dhan bheinn
'S cha till e dhachaidh

Translation into English

My Duncan went to the hill
My Duncan went to the hill
And did not return home
Was that your Duncan?
My loss that happened
It was my Duncan
And he will not return home
The blood of his heart and of his breast
In the cloth of his plaid
My Duncan went to the hill
And will not return home
