Maggie MacInnes

Sèisd

Hill eileadh ho gu
Dh'fhalabh mo run bho chionn seachdain
Hill eileadh ho gu

Dh'fhalbh mo rùn air a' bhàta,
Guma slan thig e dhachaigh

Sèisd Dh'fhalbh mo rùn bho chionn bliadhna
Dh'fhalbh mo chiall bho chionn seachdain

Sèisd Tha mo cheist ort a Dhòmhnaill
B'e tu 'n t-òganach dreachail

Sèisd 'S mi ri feitheamh Caol Ìle
Cinntìre nan cas bheannan

Sèisd

B'e mo mhiann a bhith sùgradh
Ri òg ùr a chùil chleachdaich

Sèisd B'e mo rùn a bhith rèidh riut
'S bhith gur n-èigheach aig altair

Sèisd 'S ann tha càirdean mo leannain
A's na h-eileinean tarsuinn

Sèisd Clann Dòmhnaill, Clann Raghnaill,
Clann Laomainn, Clann Lachlainn

Chorus

-
My love has been gone for a week
-

On a ship my love departed
May he come home safely

A year ago my love departed
A week ago my darling left me

My love is for you, Donald
You were the comely youth

And I am waiting at the sound of Islay
Seeing Kintyre of the steep hills

Chorus

I would like to be love-making
With the fair youth of curly hair

I would like to be pleasing to you
Being married to you at the altar

My love is related
In the far-flung islands

To Clan Donald, Clanranald,
Clan Lamont, Clan Lachlann
