(LYRICS BELOW)

~~ O LUAIDH ~~

O luaidh, 's truagh nach deachaidh sinn ~Oh love, it's a pity we never courted
È luaidh, 's truagh nach deachaidh sinn ~Eh love, it's a pity we never courted
O gura truagh a' cheist, o luaidh ~Oh what a pitiful question
Nach robh mi san uaigh mun d' fhuair mi sealladh ort ~Would that I was in my grave before I met you
O luaidh ~Oh love

Chunnaic mi thall sa mhòine gearradh i ~I saw her working on the peat
Gruagach òg, 's chòrd a pearsa rium ~A pretty maiden, and I liked the look of her
Chaidh mi anull 's gun fhaic mi i dlùth ~After closer inspection
'S a' mhais' air a gnùis a dh'ùraich leannanachd ~ Her beautiful face had me wishing for courtship
O luaidh ~ Oh love


O luaidh, 's truagh nach deachaidh sinn ~Oh love, it's a pity we never courted
È luaidh, 's truagh nach deachaidh sinn ~Eh love, it's a pity we never courted
O gura truagh a' cheist, o luaidh ~Oh what a pitiful question
Nach robh mi san uaigh mun d' fhuair mi sealladh ort ~Would that I was in my grave before I met you
O luaidh ~Oh love

An tèid thu leam gu tìr nam monaidhean ~ Will you go with me to the land of the moors
Tìr nam fiadh, nan earb 's nan coineanach ~The land of deer, roe and rabbits
Tìr nan siad, 's ann bha thu riamh ~The land of heroes where you always lived
'S gun ith thu do bhiadh gun sgian 's gun ghreimiche ~Where you will eat without knife and fork
O luaidh ~ Oh love


O luaidh, 's truagh nach deachaidh sinn ~Oh love, it's a pity we never courted
È luaidh, 's truagh nach deachaidh sinn ~Eh love, it's a pity we never courted
O gura truagh a' cheist, o luaidh ~Oh what a pitiful question
Nach robh mi san uaigh mun d' fhuair mi sealladh ort ~Would that I was in my grave before I met you
O luaidh ~Oh love

Nam biodh peann 's pàipear geal agam ~Had I pen and white paper
Sgrìobhainn dhut sìos mo chainnt le barantas ~ I would write this in vows that cannot be broken
Cùmhnant tha teann nach fhosgail bhon chlèir ~ A contract sealed by the clergy
'S ma dh'fhalbhas tu fhèin, chan fheum thu t'fharadh ann ~If you go, you will not need your fare
O luaidh ~Oh love


O luaidh, 's truagh nach deachaidh sinn ~Oh love, it's a pity we never courted
È luaidh, 's truagh nach deachaidh sinn ~Eh love, it's a pity we never courted
O gura truagh a' cheist, o luaidh ~Oh what a pitiful question
Nach robh mi san uaigh mun d' fhuair mi sealladh ort ~Would that I was in my grave before I met you
O luaidh ~Oh love
