Hoireann O - Capercaillie

'S moch an diugh a rinn mi eirigh

(after each verse)

Hoireann o hi ri u ho Hoireann o hi ri u ho

Hu o ai hi o ho eile Hu o ai hi o ho eile

Hoireann o hi ri u ho Hoireann o hi ri u ho

Ghabh mi mach ri gleann na geigeadh

Thainin mi steach gleann na spreidheadh

Fhuair mi ghruagach dhonn gun eirigh

Lub mi 'na mo bhreacan fhein i

'S thug mi boid nach b’eagal beud dhi

Gun tugainn dha mathair fhein i

'S mise ghaoil a bha 'nam eiginn

Ach ma thilleas mis' as Eirinn

'S tusa ghaoil a gheibh am preusant

I got up early today

(after each verse)

Hoireann o hi ri u ho Hoireann o hi ri u ho

Hu o ai hi o ho another Hu o ai hi o ho another

Hoireann o hi ri u ho Hoireann o hi ri u ho

I went out to the glen of the gegeig

I entered the valley of the eruption

I found a brown haired girl without getting up

Lub I in my own plaid

And I swore she was not afraid

That I would give her to her own mother

It was I, my love, who was in need

But if I return from Ireland

You are the love that receives the present
