Nighneag a' chuil duinn nach fhan thu?
Peter MacLean Song

Chorus: Lassie of the rear to us won't you stay?
The land knows I'm your sweetheart,
Lassie of the rear to us won't you stay?

1) Lassy of the Rear your decided against your vow,
I have persued you since a while.

2) It is since that I was a child,
I gave the love to you that will be for a lifetime.

3) When we were to the herding,
I gave mention of your plaited fair hair.

4) It is with the growth of complextion and of your cheerful contenance,
You became firmly fond of my love.

5) Cheek and redness of the rowan berries,
Mournful will be the end of the branches.

6) Blue-eye beguiling at my love,
Narrow eye-brow and look of kindness.

7) A mouth filled with melodious music and laughter,
Beautiful teeth like the white winter storm.

8) White fair neck like mountain moss-cotton,
Handsome breasts like the swan.

9) Slender-shape comfortable, femine, light
Is without dullness, is without a match.

10) It is often I was joking to you,
Under the top of the fragrant branches.

11) It is on Easter morning,
You gave to me your hand and your promise.

12) But if you left from this country,
It is a heavy burden on me enduring your wanting to hide.

13) When will you go to the lowlands of Scotland,
Falsely learned from the law countrymen?

14) Stay, darling, in the land of the Gaelic people
Where is the customary bond?
