Thig am Bata (The Boat Will Come)

Thig am bàta, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
Moch a-màireach, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

Bidh m′ athair innte, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
'S mo thriùir bhràithrean, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

Mo chèile donn, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
Air ràmh bràghad, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

Gheibh iad mise, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
Air mo bhàthadh, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

Togaidh iad mi, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
Air na ràmhan, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

Mo thrusgan donn, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
Snàmh na fairge, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

Mo chuailean donn, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
Am measg nan carraigean, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

Mo bhroids airgid, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
Am measg nan gainmheach, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

Cha b′ e 'n t-acras, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
Chuir dhan tràigh mi, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

Miann an duileasg, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
Miann nam bàirneach, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

Sòraidh eile, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
Gu mo phàisdean, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

Fear dhiubh bliadhna, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
Fear a dhà dhiubh, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

A' fear bliadhna, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
Nach eil làidir, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

Dh′ fhàg mi e, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
As a′ chùlaist, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

Iarraidh e a-nochd, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
Cìoch a mhàthar, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

Ma dh' iarr chan fhaigh e, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
Ach sùgan sàile, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

Ò, mo mhollachd, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
Aig bean eudaich, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

′S dh' fhàg i mise, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
′S an sgeir bhàthte, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

'S thig am bàta, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
Moch a-màireach, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

′S gheibh iad mise, àill i ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò
Air mo bhàthadh, haoi ò; ro àilleagan àill i ò

Hé hò; ro àilleagan àill i ò!

The Boat Will Come (Thig am Bata)

The boat will come, oh love; oh my beautiful love it will
Early tomorrow, oh love; oh my beautiful love it will

My father will be in it, oh love; oh my beautiful love he will
And my three brothers, oh love; oh my beautiful love they will

My brown-haired husband, oh love; oh my beautiful love he will
At the helm, oh love; oh my beautiful love he will

They will find me, oh love; oh my beautiful love they will
Drowned, oh love; oh my beautiful love, drowned

They will lift me, oh love; oh my beautiful love they will
Onto the oars, oh love; oh my beautiful love they will

My brown dress, oh love; oh my beautiful love it will
Swimming in the sea, oh love; oh my beautiful love it will

My brown hair, oh love; oh my beautiful love it will
Among the rocks, oh love; oh my beautiful love it will

My silver brooch, oh love; oh my beautiful love it will
Among the sand, oh love; oh my beautiful love it will

It wasn't hunger, oh love; oh my beautiful love it wasn't
That brought me to the shore, oh love; oh my beautiful love it wasn't

The longing for seaweed, oh love; oh my beautiful love it was
The longing for shellfish, oh love; oh my beautiful love it was

Another farewell, oh love; oh my beautiful love it is
To my children, oh love; oh my beautiful love it is

One of them a year old, oh love; oh my beautiful love he is
Another two years old, oh love; oh my beautiful love he is

The one-year-old, oh love; oh my beautiful love he is
Not yet strong, oh love; oh my beautiful love he is not

I left him, oh love; oh my beautiful love I did
In the back room, oh love; oh my beautiful love I did

He will ask tonight, oh love; oh my beautiful love he will
For his mother's breast, oh love; oh my beautiful love he will

If he asks, he will not get it, oh love; oh my beautiful love he will not
But a sip of brine, oh love; oh my beautiful love he will not

Oh, my curse, oh love; oh my beautiful love it is
On the woman of clothing, oh love; oh my beautiful love it is

And she left me, oh love; oh my beautiful love she did
On the submerged rock, oh love; oh my beautiful love she did

And the boat will come, oh love; oh my beautiful love it will
Early tomorrow, oh love; oh my beautiful love it will

And they will find me, oh love; oh my beautiful love they will
Drowned, oh love; oh my beautiful love, drowned

Hé hò; oh my beautiful love it will!
