Bliadhn' mun àm sa dh'fhalbh A year ago my heart's love left me Fada bhuam rùn mo chrìdh' For faraway places Gus an cuairtich e an saoghal He'll never return Cha bhi dùil ris air ais anns an tìr Until he sees the wide world around Nuair a chì mis' e rithist When I'll see my love coming Nach mi nì an ogag 's an gaol I'll give him all my love Le pòg na blas mil And smother him with honey kisses O Jimmy mo mhìle stòr Jimmy mo mhíle stór
Bidh mo mhàthair 's m' athair My father and mother A' gearain 's a' trod rium a' strì They never can give me ease Tha mi sgìth 's mi claoidhte I'm tired and fed up 'S mi searbh 's mo bheatha gun sìth And tormented with this life Thug mi gaol dhan fhear fhlathail I gave my love to the fairest Gun iarraidh thug mise dha pòg Without asking I kissed him 'S chaidh esan a sheòladh And he went off to sea O Jimmy mo mhìle stòr Jimmy mo mhíle stór
Thig mise dhan choille I'll go to the woods 'S caithidh mi ann cuid mhath dhem shaogh'l And spend there all of my time Gun ghuth ann ri chluinntinn With no one around Ach ceòl binn bho cheileireadh eòin Listening to birdsong Aig cas nan craobh chaorainn Beaneath the rowan tree Far 'eil fhùraichean fàs ann gu leòr With flowers aplenty there Thug mi ghaol dhan fhear fhlathail Giving love to the most heavenly O Jimmy mo mhìle stòr To Jimmy mo mhíle stór
