about

This is a traditional rowing song from the Isle of Lewis that later found its land legs as a waulking song. The “dark-haired girl” in question is a sailing vessel. In an alternate version, it is revealed that her name is Seonaid (Janet). I wish this man and his boat nothing but happiness.

lyrics

Dheannain sùgradh ris a nigh'n dubh
N' deidh dhomh eirigh as a mhaduinn
Dheannain sùgradh ris a nigh'n dubh

Dheannain sùgradh ris a'ghruagaich
H-uile uair a bhiodh i agam

Riof ga cheangal 's riof ga fhuasgladh
Muir m'a guallain, fuaim is fead oirr'

'S trìc asheol mi'n Cuan-a-Tuath leat
Le gaoith tuath 's cruaidh-fhrasan

'S trìc a bha mi gad stuireadh
Is a' mhuir a'sguireadh na deaca

Null ma Chaolas na Roimh
B' fheudar dhuinn am bòm a leaiseadh

Null ma Chaolas na Fraing
Maide na laimh's gaoth ga greasad

Dheannain sùgradh an àm dùsgaidh
'N àm na siùil a bhith 'gam pasgadh

Cha robh ropa feum a spleiadhsadh
Air mo mhaighdeann ri tigh'n dhachaidh

Ged a bhiogh e crùn an oirleach
Dh'fheumadh porsan dheth thigh'n dhachaidh
