Lyrics

Caidil gu là

Se m’eudail an cùirtear dhèanadh mir’ agus sùgradh
‘Se m’eudail an cùirtear dan dùraiginn pòg.

Refrain:
O ho ro, i ri ri, Caidil gu là – X 2)

‘Se m’eudail am fleasgach ghabh air falbh air an fheasgar,
O, tha mi fo bhreislich ma sheasas an ceò.
(Ref)

Dol a-null air an fhadhail, gun dèanainn mo roghainn,
Bhiodh càch air a dheaghaidh ‘s mo roghainn air tòs.
(Ref)

A Dhè tha sna h-àrdaibh, bi caoimhneil rim ghràdh-sa,
Cuir an eucoir gu nàire is àrdaich a’ chòir.
(Ref)

TRANSLATION:
Sleep til Daybreak

My beloved is the courtier who would play and make merry,
My beloved the courtier I would desire to kiss.

My beloved the youth who set off in the evening,
O, I am distressed if the fog persists.

Going across on the sand I would make my choice,
Everyone else would be behind him, my choice in the lead.
