about

Composed, it is said, by one of the young lady-lords of Lochbuie (MacLaine), who had fallen in love with Campbell of Jura.
A tale of deception and betrayal.

English translation of Kenneth MacLeod from the Gaelic.
The first verse reads:
“If deceiving me, o love, thy wert;
If deceiving me despite thy vow;
Yet chant thy praise I ever will,
Though deceiving me, o love, thou wert”

lyrics

Like watercress gathered fresh from cool streams, thy kiss dear love by the Bens of Jura, cold cold the hills, cold thy love as they. Like watercress gathered fresh from cool streams. Gold the morn at dawn upwingeth, dreams the night deep-drowned in dew-mist and my heart reft of its own sun, deep lies sunk in death-torpor cold and grey. Like watercress gathered fresh from cool streams, thy kiss dear love by the Bens of Jura, cold, cold the hills, cold the mist and grey. Like watercress gathered fresh from cool streams.
