  Cairistiona - Christina
Recorded on 'Peaceful Ground' - MARCD002

 
  '

Nach freagair thu Chairistiona?

Seisd

E ho hi huru bhi
Horo o hi ho ho ro ho o
E ho hi huru bhi

Nam freagradh gun cluinninn fhėn thu

Sčisd

Chi mi luingeas air Caol Ile

Sčisd

'S iad ag iarraidh Cairistiona

Sčisd

Chan ann gu banais a dhčanamh

Sčisd

Gus a cur 's an talamh ėseal

Sčisd

Turus a thug mi Ghleann Comhainn

Sčisd

'N fhairge trom 's an caolas domhainn

Sčisd

Chan fhaod mi mo leum a thomhas

Sčisd

Ged dh'fhaodadh, cha dčan mi'n gnothach

Sčisd

Cha bhi Cairistiona romham

Sčisd

 

Will you answer, Christina?

Chorus

-

If you'd answer, I would hear you

Chorus

I see ships in the sound of Islay

Chorus

They are seeking Christina

Chorus

Not to take her to her wedding

Chorus

In deep ground they are going to lay her

Chorus

To Glencoe I once did journey

Chorus

The waves were high and the channel deep

Chorus

I cannot judge my leap in distance

Chorus

And if I could I would gain nothing

Chorus

Christina for me will not be waiting

Chorus
