Brae of Loch Eil

Oh I'll go, I shall go
Oh I shall go over
To the cattle grazings
To the girl I once knew
 
Hill ò bha hò
'S na hao ri ri ri o hi
Hoireann òg ù ho i o bha hò
 
To the Brae of Loch Eil
Where the bellowing deer are
And the little roe of the peaks
That is so strong and nimble

Hill ò bha hò
'S na hao ri ri ri o hi
Hoireann òg ù ho i o bha hò
 
Oh woman of the fine hair
I gave you my promise
My promise goes with you
Although we must be parted

Hill ò bha hò
'S na hao ri ri ri o hi
Hoireann òg ù ho i o bha hò
 
A white head-dress becomes you well
Arranged on you in a point
Framing the smooth-skinned face
Of the blue, beguiling eyes

Hill ò bha hò
'S na hao ri ri ri o hi
Hoireann òg ù ho i o bha hò
 
And stays of fine silk
Drawn tight around you
And a new apron
From the merchant's shop

Hill ò bha hò
'S na hao ri ri ri o hi
Hoireann òg ù ho i o bha hò
 
Often were we
In a shieling in the glen
In a snug little bothy
With only brush-wood for a door

Hill ò bha hò
'S na hao ri ri ri o hi
Hoireann òg ù ho i o bha hò
 
Adroit at rearing calves
Gentleness was second nature to you
When it was time to go to bed
Our fire never dwindled

Hill ò bha hò
'S na hao ri ri ri o hi
Hoireann òg ù ho i o bha hò
 
My hand beneath your head
And your white arm around me
My side against your side
Both of us tender-hearted and loving

Hill ò bha hò
'S na hao ri ri ri o hi
Hoireann òg ù ho i o bha hò

Bràigh Loch Iall

O thèid 's gun tèid
O thèid mi thairis
Gu innis nam bò
Far an b' eòl dhomh 'n ainnir
 
Hill ò bha hò
'S na hao ri ri ri o hi
Hoireann òg ù ho i o bha hò
 
Gu Bràighe Loch Iall
Far 'm bi fiadh 'san langan
Is earbag nan stùc
Gu lùthmhor eangarr'

Hill ò bha hò
'S na hao ri ri ri o hi
Hoireann òg ù ho i o bha hò
 
A bhean an fhuilt rèidh
Thug mi fhèin dhuit mo ghealladh
Mo ghealladh ad dhéidh
Ged b'fheudar bhith dealaicht'

Hill ò bha hò
'S na hao ri ri ri o hi
Hoireann òg ù ho i o bha hò
 
Gur math thig brèid bàn
Air a chàradh ort beannach
Mu aghaidh gun sgraing
Nan gormshùilean meallach

Hill ò bha hò
'S na hao ri ri ri o hi
Hoireann òg ù ho i o bha hò
 
Is staidhse dhan t-sìoda
Mhìn gad theannachadh
Is aparan ùr
À bùth a' cheannaich'

Hill ò bha hò
'S na hao ri ri ri o hi
Hoireann òg ù ho i o bha hò
 
Gur minig a bha sinn
An àirigh ghleannaich
Am bothan beag dlùth
Gun dùnadh ach barraich

Hill ò bha hò
'S na hao ri ri ri o hi
Hoireann òg ù ho i o bha hò
 
Làmh thogail an àil
Bha tlàths riut ceangailt'
'N àm gabhail mu thàmh
Cha do chnàmh ar teallach

Hill ò bha hò
'S na hao ri ri ri o hi
Hoireann òg ù ho i o bha hò
 
Mo làmh fod cheann
'S do làmh gheal tharam
Mo thaobh rid thaobh
'S sinn maoth-chridheach, tairis

Hill ò bha hò
'S na hao ri ri ri o hi
Hoireann òg ù ho i o bha hò
