Hi Rim Bo Lyrics

Sèist:
Hi ri am bo hill o ro ho
Hi ri am bo hi ri ri u
Hi ri am bo hill o ro ho
 
Tha sgeul ur air tighinn don bhaile
Cha sgeul ur a th' ann ach naidheachd
 
Tha sgeul ur air tighinn don bhaile
Cha sgeul ur a th' ann ach naidheachd
 
Cha sgeul ur a th' ann ach naidheachd
Gun do reitich mo chiad leannan
 
Gun do reitich mo chiad leannan
'S og a fhuair mi fhin do ghealladh
 
'S og a fhuair mi fhin do ghealladh
Sine bhan nam blath-shuil mealladh
 
Sine bhan nam blath-shuil mealladh
Sine og an or-fhuilt chlannaich
 
'S gil' do mheadhan na sgiath na h-eala
'S guirm' do shuil na driuchd na maidne
 
'S guirm' do shuil na driuchd na maidne
'S deirg' do ghruaidh na caor air meangan
 
'S deirg' do ghruaidh na caor air meangan
Tha do dheud na dluth-gheal daingeann
Chorus (after each verse):
Hi ri am bo hill o ro ho
Hi ri am bo hi ri ri u
Hi ri am bo hill o ro ho
 
A new tale has come to the township
Not a new tale but a rumor
 
A new tale has come to the township
Not a new tale but a rumor
 
Not a new tale but a rumor
That my first love has celebrated her wedding feast
 
That my first love has celebrated her wedding feast
You plighted your troth to me when young
 
You plighted your troth to me when young
Fair Jean of the warm, bewitching eyes
 
Fair Jean of the warm, bewitching eyes
Young Jean with the many golden ringlets
 
Your waist is whiter than the wing of the swan
Greener your eye than morning dew on grass
 
Greener your eye than morning dew on grass
More red your cheek than the rowan berry on branch
 
More red your cheek than the rowan berry on branch
