Capercaillie Hoireann O Lyrics

Hoireann O Lyrics

Early I arose

 I went out by the glen of branches

 I came back by the glen of the flocks

 I found the brown-haired girl still in bed

 I folded her in my own plaid

 And vowed that she need fear no harm

 That I would give her to her own mother

 How distressed I was, my love

 But if I come back from Ireland

 What presents you will get. 

 

 'S moch an diugh a rinn mi eirigh

 Ghabh mi mach ri gleann na geigeadh

 Thaining mi steach gleann na spreidheadh

 Fhuair mi ghruagach dhonn gun eirigh

 Lub mi 'na mo bhreacan fhein i

 's thug mi boid nach b'eagal beud dhi

 Gun tugainn dha mathair fhein i

 'S mise ghaoil a bha 'nam eiginn

 Ach ma thilleas mis' as Eirinn

 'S tusa ghaoil a gheibh am preusant
