O
Brown-haired maid of spotless sheen,
Who kept tryst with me yestreen,
Sweet and pure our love unseen,
In the nut-wood’s secrecy.
We made tryst when young, I ween,
In the woodland tuft so green;
Sweet thy kiss to me has been,
And thy song sweet melody.
May that maid have every weal,
Who kept tryst with me yestreen;
My heart’s desire, who fills my dreams..
My own, my true beloved one.
A ghruagach dhonn gun gho gun fhoill,
A chum a’ choinneamh rium an raoir;
Bha mi comhradh riut ’s a’ choill,
’Sinn ann an caoimhneas diomhaireach.
Binn mi coinneamh riut glii 6g,
Ann an coile dhluth nan cn6;
Bu bhinn leam eisdeachd ri do che61,
’S bha do phog mar fhigis learn.
Gu’m bu fallain ’s gu’m bu slim,
An t£ chum codhail rium Di-mairt;
larguin m’ aigne ’s m’ airsneul phramh,
’S mo chion-graidh da-rireadh thu!
