Gu'n I d'fhalbh mo ghaol 's gu'iil d'fhàg e mi.
I 've lost my dar - ling ba - by, 1
Dh' fhàg mi 'n so >na shineadh c,
'Na shineadh e, 'na shineadh e ;
Gu'n d'fhag mi 'n so 'na shineadh e
'Nuair dh'fhalbh mi 'bhuain nam braoileagan.
Fhuair mi lorg an dobhrain duinn,
An dobhrain duinn, an dobhrain duinn,
Gu'n'd'fhuair mi lorg an dobhrain duinn ;
'S cha d'f huair mi lorg mo chòineachain !
Fhuair mi lorg na heal' air an t-snà.mh,
Na h-eal' air an t-snàmh, na h-eal' air an t-snkmh,
Gu'n d'fhuair mi lorg na h-eal' air an t-snh,mh,
'S cha d'fhuair mi lorg mo chòineachain !
Fhuair mi lorg an laoigh bhric dheirg,
An laoigh bhric dheirg, an laoigh bhric dheirg ;
Gu'n d'fhuair mi lorg an laoigh bhric dheirg,
'S cha d'fhuair mi lorg mo chòineachain 1
Fhuair mi lorg a' cheò 'sa' bheinn,
A' cheò 'sa' bheinn, a' cheò 'sa' bheinn ;
Ged fhuair mi lorg a' cheò 'sa' bheinn
Cha d'fhuair mi lorg mo chdineachain.
I left my darling lying here,
A-lying here, a-lying here ;
I left my darling lying here.
To go and gather blaeberries.
I 've found the wee brown otter'a track,
The otter's track, the otter's track ;
T 've found the wee brown otter's track,
But ne'er a trace of baby, O !
I found the track of the swan on the lake,
The swan on the lake, the swan on the lake ;
I found the track of the swan on the lake,
But not the track of baby, !
I found the track of the yellow fawn.
The yellow fawn, the yellow fawn ;
I found the track of the yellow fawn,
But could not trace my baby, O !
I found the trail of the mountain mist,
The mountain mist, the mountain mist ;
I found the trail of the mountain mist,
But ne'er a trace of baby, O !
