about

Ailein Duinn is a traditional Scottish lament written in Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) for Ailein Moireasdan by his fiancée Annag Chaimbeul in 1788, after Ailein’s ship sailed into a storm losing all on board. Annag devastated at losing Ailean, died several months later of a broken heart.

lyrics


Gura mise tha fo èislean 
Moch ‘s a' mhadainn is mi 'g èirigh  

Sèist:
Ò hì, shiùbhalainn leat  
Hì rì bhò, hò rù bhì
Hì rì bhò, hò rinn ò hò
Ailein Duinn, ò hì shiùbhalainn leat   

Ma 's e 'n cluasag dhut a ghaineamh 
Ma 's e leabaidh dhut an gheamainn 

Sèist

Ma 's en t-iasg do choinlean geala
Ma 's na ròin do luchd-faire   

Sèist

Dh'òlainn deoch ge boil le càch e
Dè dh'fhuil do choim 's tu 'n dèidh do bhathadh

Sèist

(Translation)
How sorrowful I am
Early in the morning when I rise

Chorus:
Ò hì, I would travel with thee
Hì rì bhò, hò rù bhì
Hì rì bhò, hò rinn ò hò
Brown haired Alan, ò hì, I would travel with thee

If the sand is thy pillow
If the seaweed is thy bed

Chorus

If the fish are thy candles bright
If the seals are thy watchmen

Chorus

I would drink though all would abhor it
Of thy heart's blood after thy drowning

Chorus
