Feuch an dean mi fhìn am buinnig.
I Am Full of Care
Concerned am I a dhiu ro eileadh
Concerned am I, and very sorrowful
My desire being the fair-breasted one
Concerned am I a dhiu ro eileadh
Downcast am I
And long since about my love
Of the shepherd
And he not knowing of it.
If I come into money
Which will enable me to get away
I shall follow Norman
And never part with him.
My love is the shepherd
Close to the deer-forest
And my heart telling me that
It will little avail me.
How silly I was
To think of marriage
Without stock or possessions
Without gold or English.
I Will Climb No More
I will climb no more
To the wilds of the moorlands;
I will climb no more.
I received a letter from Edinburgh
Saying I must not go to the moorland.
Often I killed the deer in the high mountains,
In the glens with thickest cover.
I'll be leaving this country now;
I can no longer find peace here.
I'll be leaving for the Indies
To try to make myself a fortune.
