Keltoi Lyrics

Lyrics for Keltoi Release

Tha Mi Fo Chùram

Tha mi fo chùram a dhiu ro eileadh
Tha mi fo chùram 's fo mhoran tursa.
'S mo cheist air cùirteir a' bhrollaich ghlè-ghil.
Tha mi fo chùram a dhiu ro eileadh.

Tha mi fo ghruaimean
'S gur fhad o'n uair sin
Mo ghaol a' bhuachaill
'S cha chual e fhèin e.

Ma gheibh mi airgiod
A bheir air falbh mi,
Gu lean mi Tormod
'S cha dealaichinn fhèin ris.

Mo cheist an cìobair
Tha'n cois na frìthe
'S mo chridhe 'g innse
Nach dean e feum dhomh.

Nach mi bha gòrach
An duil ri pòsadh
Gun stoc gun stòras
Gun or gun Bheurla.

'S Gann Gun Dìrich Mi Chaoidh

'S gann gun dìrich mi chaoidh
Dh'ionnsuidh frìthean a' mhonaidh;
'S gann gun dirich mi chaoidh.

Fhuair mi litir a Dùn Èideann 'g ràdh
Nach feud mi dhol do 'n mhonadh.

'S tric a mharbh mi fiadh ard bheann
Air na glinn a b'àille culaidh.

Fàgaidh mi a nis an tir seo, chan fhaigh
M'inntinn sìth innt' tuilleadh.

Bheir mi ruaig gu còrs' nan Innsean
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.
