Loch Tay Boat Song

Loch Tay Boat Song - Kurt Elling (庫特·艾靈)

Composed by：Annie C. Ma

When I've done my work of day

And I row my boat away

Down the waters o' Loch Tay

As the evening light is fading

And I look upon Ben Lawers where the after-glory glows

And I think on two bright eyes and the merry mouth below

She's my beauteous nighean ruadh*

My joy and sorrow too

And although she is untrue

Well I cannot live without her

For my heart's a boat in tow

And I'd give the world to know

Why she means to let me go

As I sing horee horo

Nighean ruadh your lovely hair

Has more glamour I declare

Than all the tresses rare

From killin' to aberfeldy

Be they lint white brown or gold

Be they blacker than the sloe

They are no more want's to me

Than the melting flake of snow

Her eyes are like the gleam

O' the sunlight on the stream

And the songs the fairies sing

Seem like songs she sings at milking

But my heart is full of woe

For last night she bade me go

And the tears begin to flow

As I sing horee horo
