Gaol ise Gaol i - Scottish Gaelic LYRICS + Translation

THANK YOU JACK FOR MENTIONING MY NAME INITIALLY! IT MEANS AN AWFUL LOT TO ME. CW5 Jack Cardwell

Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for posting the music video of Kathleen MacInnes performing the traditional Hebridean waulking song (Òran Luaidh) Gaol Ise Gaol I (My Love Is She)

1. English lyrics
"My love is she
Love for Ann daughter of Neil
My hair curly and brown
Like a cuckoo in a wood
Like a thrush on a tree
Keen my eyes – sweet my voice
I am heavy with child
By no ordinary lad is my child
But by the dark-haired hero
Son of the Laid of the Ships
With whom warriors would rise
Who can drink plenty
My love is she
Love for Ann daughter of Neil"

2. Gaelic Lyrics
"Gaol ise gaol i
E o hao-o hao o
Hao riri o hu o
Ro-ho i o hi o

Gaol ise gaol i
Gaol air Anna ni’ n Nill
Mi dualach mi donn
Mi mar chuthaig an coill’
Mi mar smeòraich an craoibh
Mi gu biorshuilleach binn
Mi torrach mi trom
Chan ann le balach mo throm
Ach leis an lasgaire dhonn
Mac fir Bhaile nan Long
Leis an eireadh na suinn
Leis an diant’ an t-òl trom
Gaol ise gaol i
Gaol air Anna ni’ n Nill"
