A Shieling Bothie on theBraes of Rannoch
It's my soul and my darling
who went to Glen Garry yesterday:
A man with golden locks
and kisses with the taste of honey.
O hi ò hu ò o hu ò
Hi rì ri ò hu eile
O hì ri ri ò gheallaibh ò
It is you who are the best suited by your clothes
of all who are on earth
It is you who are the best suited by your uniform
of all the men I have seen
It is you who are the best suited by your hose
and soft lace-up shoes,
a London-style dark green coat,
and crowns will buy it1
My belt comes from Edinburgh
and my scarf from Dunkeld,
we get cattle from the Mearns
and sheep from the lowlands.
We are raising them
on a shieling in the Rannoch Hills
in a bothie full of fun
which was closed in with treetops
The cuckoo and the rock-dove used to
make music for us on the branches
and the brown stag and its bellowing
used to wake us in the morning.
- 1. 1 crown = 0.25 pounds sterling; that would have made it a very expensive coat back when the song was first sung. This line is one way of saying "expensive" in gàidhlig if you want to make 8 syllables of it to fit the metre of the verse
- 2. literally: reach
- 3. tenses of the copula are different in Gaelic and in English - the present is used often in Gaelic (as here) where English requires the past, but that's because English uses the same verb for Gaelic bi as it uses for the copula
- 4. i.e. he would bring home the things she wanted
