alan stivell - ye banks and braes (hirovoudou) lyrics
ye banks and braes o bonne doon
how can ye bloom sae fresh and fair
how can ye chant ye little birds
and i sae weary fu o’ care ?
thou’ll break my heart thou’ll warblin bird
that wantons thro the flowering th-rn
ye minds me o’ departed joys
departed never to return
penaos oc ‘h c’hwi ken kaer gwisket
traonienn ha prad leun a vleuniou
penaos e kanit laboused
tre m’emaon me o skuilh daerou ?
ho kanaouennou dudius
va c’halon baour din a ranno
n’ur gomz eus’n amzer evurus
ha na zeuio biken endro
oft hae i roved by bonnie doon
to see the rose and woodbine twine
and ilka biro sang o’its love
and fondly sae did i o’mine
wi lightsome heart i pud a rose
fu’ sweet upon its th-rny tree
but my fause lover stole my rose
but ah he left the th-rn wi’me
(da c’houlou deiz ‘vel d’abardaez
me garje mont war ribl ar ster
‘n ur vouskanan va c’harantez
‘vel an eostig an alc’choueider)
dindan ar gwez laouen bepred
e kutuilhen bleuniou dispar
siwazh setu me dilezet
ha rannet holl gant ar glac’har
