Scottish Gaelic Song An cluin thu mi mo nighean donn lyrics and translation

Gaelic Music Celtic Music Charles Macleod singing An cluin thu mi mo nighean donn. With some pictures of fishing, Harris tweed and the co-op van. My dads uncle in the photos worked for the co-op on the Isle of Barra for years and then Lewis Kenny Piper Macleod. My grandfather had a Harris tweed mill on the Island of Lewis and the photos remind me of that time. They bring back the smells and the sounds of making Harris tweed from the fleece. I remember him warping and singing Gaelic songs to me and of course rise and follow Charlie. Good times :o) Charles Macleod

Gaelic words

An cluinn thu mi, mo nighean donn?
Dèan éisd is thoir an aire dhomh
Tha móran dhaoin' 's a' bharail seo
Gur òg an leannan domhs' thu

Is ged bu liath mo chiabhagan
Na cuireadh sin fo iargain thu
Cha'n 'eil mi sean am bliadhnachan
'S bu mhiann leam bhith 'nad chòir-sa

Thar chuantan mór gun seòlainn-sa
Is bheirinn dhachaidh stòras dhuit
Is bhitheadh tu gu dòigheil leam
Ri d' bheò ma tha thu deònach

Nis sguiridh mi bhith 'm sheòladair
'S air tìr gu fan mi còmhla riut
On 's fhad 's a tha mi eòlach ort
Bu bhòicheach leam do dhòighean

English Translation

Will you listen to me, my brown-haired girl?
Listen, and pay attention to me
There are many people of this opinion
That you are too young a love for me

And although my hair is gray
Don't let this distress you
I am not old in years
And I long to be with you

Over wide oceans I will sail
And I will take home riches to you
And you would be happy with me
For the rest of your life, if you're willing

Now I will stop sailing
I will stay with you on dry land
For as far as I know
Your ways are beautiful to me
