about

A traditional love song from the Isle of Mull that remains popular among the Gàidhlig-speaking population of Cape Breton.

lyrics

O ich ù is hiùraibh èile
O ich ù is hiùraibh èile
Hiùrabh o ‘s na hò rò èile
Mo chruinneag dhonn, gura trom ad dhèidh mi!

Càite a bheil i ann an Muile?
Cruinneag bhòidheach as gile muineal,
Ribhinn àlainn a’ bhroillich shoilleir,
‘S bu deacair dhòmhsa cur air a bonnaibh.

Càite a bheil i ann an Albainn?
Cruinneag cruinn donn as gile calpa,
Slios mar fhaoilinn air aodann fairge,
‘S gur h-e do throm-ghaol a rinn mo mharbhadh.

Nuair a thèid mi chun na fèille,
Bidh mo shùil air a’ chruinneig ghlè-ghil,
Is binne Gàidhlig ‘s as deise Beurla,
‘S bidh sàiltean àrd’ air a brògan eutrom.

Tha do shùilean mar na smeuran,
No mar dhearcagan donn an t-slèibhe,
Dubh is donn ann am-measg a chèile,
‘S gu bheil ceann dubh air mo chruinneig ghlè-ghil.
