Thoir mo Shoraidh

Òran brònach à dh’Earra-Ghàidheal far a bheil an seinneadair a’ toirt corp a ghaoil thairis nan tonnan.
A haunting love song from Argyll describing the sad journey of the lovers' deceased partner.

Thoir mo shoraidh thar Ghunaigh
Gu Muile nam mòr-bheann

Sèist:
Hug òireann ò ro hù bha hò,
Mo nighean donn bhòidheach,
Hug òireann ò ro hù bha hò.

Far an cluinnear a’ chuthag
Air gach bruthaich ro Bhealltainn.

Chì mi ’m bàta ’s i tighinn,
Is Iain ga seòladh.

Cùm dìreach i Iain,
Cùm tioram i Dhòmhnaill.

I an ciste chaoil chumhaing
Air a dùnadh ’s a tàirneadh.

’S truagh nach robh mi ’s an fhiabhras
Mun do chuir mi riamh d’ eòlas.

Translation:

Take my farewell over Gunna,
Over to Mull the land of mountains.

Chorus:
Hug òireann ò ro hù bha hò,
My lovely brown-haired girl,
Hug òireann ò ro hù bha hò.

Where the cuckoo can be heard calling
On each hillock before May morning.

I can see the boat approaching
And at the helm I see Iain.

Keep her straight on course Iain,
Keep her safe and dry Donald.

She is in a narrow coffin,
It is closed, held down with nails.

Oh, that I’d been in a fever
Before I ever got to know you.
