Ho Ro Mo Nighean Donn Bhoidheach (Ho Ro My Nut Brown Maiden) Lyrics

A Charming love song to a highland maiden in which her lover vows
to return and reclaim ber to share his life of exile in the lowlands.

Seisd (Chorus)
Ho ro, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach,
Hi ri, mo nigh'n donn bhoidhech
Mo chaileag laghach, bhoidheach,
Cha phos mi ach tu

A Pheigi dhonn nam bla h-shul
Gur trom a thug mi gradh dhuit
Tha d'iomhaigh ghaoil a's d'ailleachd
A ghna h tigh'n fo m'uidh
Chorus

'S ann tha mo ru's na beanntaibh,
Far bheil mo ribhinn ghreannar
Mar ros am fasach Shamhraidh
An gleann fad'o shuil.
Chorus

Ach 'n uair a thig an Samradh
Bheir mise sgriob do 'n ghleann ud
'S gun tog mi leam do 'n Ghaildachd
Gu h-annsail am flur

Chorus
