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
