Dheanainn Sgradh
Sist Dheannain sgradh ris a nighean duibh N' deidh dhomh eirigh as a 'mhadainn Dheannain sgradh ris a nighean duibh Dheannain sgradh ris a'ghruagaich 'Nuair a bhiodh a' sluagh nan codal sist Dheannain sgradh an m dsgaidh 'N m na siil a bhith 'gam pasgadh sist Di-Luain an didh Di-dmhnaich Dh'fhalbh sinn le Seonaid a Aircaibh sist Riof 'gha ceangal 's riof 'gha fuasgladh muir ma guallain fuaim is fead oirr sist
Null ma Chaolas na Rimh b'fheudar dhuinn am bm a leaiseadh sist
Null ma chaolas na Fraing Maide 'na limh is gaoth 'gha greasadh sist Dh'fheumadh prsan thigh 'nn bth dhith Ged a bhiodh e crn an cairteal sist Ged a bhiodh e crn an irleach Dh'fheumadh prsan dheith thigh 'nn dhachaidh sist
Translation into English
The Dark-haired Girl Chorus I played with the young dark-haired girl When I woke in the morning I played with the young dark-haired girl I played with the long-haired girl When everyone was asleep chorus I played when we woke And when the sails were unfurled chorus On Monday, after Sunday We left the Orkneys on the Seonaid chorus Reefs taken in and reefs shaken Waves under her bow, and her booming and whistling chorus Across the straits of Rome We had to keep a tight grip on the boom chorus Across the narrow waters of France She was under control and the wind driving us chorus She wouldn't want a gift from a market If a crown was her share chorus Even if it were a crown of gold She wouldn't want a gift brought home to her chorus
