Oh My Boatman
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh boatman, na ho ro eile
Oh boatman, na ho ro eile
Oh boatman, na ho ro eile
My blessings with you wherever you go
Translation:
Often I look from the highest hill
Hoping to see the boatman
Will you come today, or will you come tomorrow?
And if you do not come at all, desolate will I be.
Rhyming variation:
I climb the mountain and scan the ocean
For thee, my boatman, with fond devotion
When shall I see thee? today? tommorow?
Oh! do not leave me in lonely sorrow
Oh my boatman, na ho ro eila
Oh my boatman, na ho ro eila
Oh my boatman, na ho ro eila
My blessings with you wherever you go
