Lord MacDonalds by Karan Casey Lyrics

Tha smeorach 's a 'mhaduin chiuin
Binn ,binn a' ceileireadh;
Tha smeorach 's a 'mhaduin chiuin
Ge b'e co 'chluinneadh i

A Mhorag nighean Dhomhuill duinn
Tha thu cruinn sgiobalta
A Mhorag nighean Dhomhuill duinn
Tha thu cruinn boidheach

(Chorus:)
Thug mi cion 'us cion 'us cion
Thug mi cion an uiridh dhuit
Thug mi cion 'us cion 'us cion
'S bhuilichinn do phosadh

A Mhorag bheag nighean Dhomhuill ghibich
Is ioma fear 'thug ribean duit;
A Mhorag bheag nighean Dhomhuill ghibich
Is ioma fear tha'n toir ort
(Chorus / repeat second verse / Chorus)
A Mhorag bheag nighean Dhomhuill uidhir
Thug mi cion an uiridh duit;
A Mhorag bheag nighean Dhomhuill uidhir
Bhuilichinn do phosadh

(Translation:)

The thrush in the still morning
Sweetly, sweetly thrills
The thrush in the still morning
Whoever would hear her

Morag daughter of dark Donald
You are full and tidy
Morag daughter of dark Donald
You are full and pleasing

(Chorus:)
I gave you affection and affection and affection
I gave you affection last year
I gave you affection and affection and affection
And I’d love to marry you

Little Morag daughter of untidy Donald
Many a man has given you a ribbon
Little Morag daughter of untidy Donald
Many a man desires you
(Chorus / repeat second verse / Chorus)
Little Morag daughter of dun Donald
I gave you affection last year
Little Morag daughter of dun Donald
I’d love to marry you
