about

Allen Morrison was a sea captain from the isle of Lewis. In the spring of 1788 he left Stornoway to go to Scalpay, Harris, to marry Annie Campbell. Unfortunately they sailed into a storm and all were lost with the vessel. This is the lament the broken-hearted Annie composed. She was overcome by grief and died a few months later.
Her body was washed ashore near where her fiance's was found.

‘It is I that is sorrowful,
Early in the morning upon my rising

O hí, I would walk with you
Hi rí bhó, ho ro bhí
Hí rí bhó, ho rinn o ho Brown Allen,
I would walk with you

If your cover were the sand,
If your bed were the seaweed

If the fish were your bright candles,
If the seals were your vigil keepers

I would take a drink, though all abhor it,
A drink of your blood after your drowning’

lyrics

Gura mise tha fo eislean
Go moch a’ mhaduinn is mí g’eirigh

O hi shuibhlain leat
Hi ri bho,ho ro bhi
Hi ri bho ho rinn o ho
Ailein Duinn, o hi shuibhlain leat

Ma’s ‘en cluasag dhuit an ghainheamh
Ma’s ‘en leabaidh dhuit an gheamainn

Ma’s ‘en t-iasg do choinleann geala
Ma’s ‘en roin do luchd faire

D’olain deoch ge b’oil le cach e
Deoch de d’fhuil ‘s tu i ndiadh do bhathadh
