A CHAILIN ALAINN ~ (THE BEAUTIFUL GIRL) A chailin àlainn dha'n tug mi'n gràdh-sa ~Oh beautiful girl to whom I gave my love 'S i fhèin as àille na blàths ' nan ròs ~ She alone has more beauty than the fair roses Gun i bhith làimh rium, 's ann tùrsach tha mi ~ Without her I am sorrowful A chailin àlainn 's tu fàth mo bhròin ~ Oh beautiful girl, you are the cause of my sadness An am dhomh dùsgadh is mi nam aonar ~ On waking when I am alone 'S e sin an uair as moth' mo bhròin ~ That is the time I am most sad Bidh mo smuaintean air a' chailin uasail ~ My thoughts are with the noble girl A dh'imich bhuam-sa 's a rinn mo leòn ~ Who went from me and wounded me A chailin àlainn gun tug mi gràdh dhut ~ Beautiful girl, I gave my heart to you Thig na mo chòmhnaidh mo luaidh 's mo stòr ~ Come to me, my darling and my treasure 'S abair rium-sa gur tu mo ghràdh geal ~ Tell me that you are my fair love 'S bidh mise àghmhor gun adhbhar cràidh ~ And I'll be joyful without reason for torment Nach tig thu leam-sa, a chailin àlainn ~ Won't you come with me, beautiful girl Gu sìorraidh bràth cha bhith ort bròn ~ And forever more you'll know no sorrow Sheinninn ceòl dhut mar cheòl na clàrsaich ~ I would sing to you like the music of the clarsach 'S mar ghuth na smeòraich an driùchd an fheòir ~ Like the voice of the song-thrush in the dewy grass A chailin àlainn gun tug mi gràdh dhut ~ Beautiful girl, I gave my heart to you Thig na mo chòmhnaidh mo luaidh 's mo stòr ~ Come to me, my darling and my treasure 'S abair rium-sa gur tu mo ghràdh geal ~ Tell me that you are my fair love 'S bidh mise àghmhor gun adhbhar cràidh ~ And I'll be joyful without reason for torment
