Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space:
Karen Matheson is one of my favorite singers, and here is a video recording of her singing, "AILEIN DUINN", (i.e., "DARK HAIRED ALAN"), which was featured in the 1995 Hollywood major motion picture production, "ROB ROY".
This video recording was posted at the YOU TUBE web site on Monday 30 July 2007 by the ADHARDEHADRES channel.

"AILEIN DUINN"
GAELIC:
Gura mise tha fo éislean
Moch sa mhaduinn is mi g'éirigh
Sèist:
Ò hì shiùbhlainn leat
Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì
Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho
Ailein Duinn, ò hì shiùbhlainn leat
Ma 's e 'n cluasag dhuit a ghaineamh
Ma 's e leabaidh dhut an gheamainn
Sèist:
Ma 's e 'n t-iasg do choinlean geala
Ma 's e na ròin do luchd-faire
Sèist:
Dh'òlainn deoch ge b' oil le càch e
De dh'fhuil do choim 's tu 'n déidh do bhathadh
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
How sorrowful I am
Early in the morning rising
Chorus:
Ò hì, I would go with thee
Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì
Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho
Brown-haired Alan, ò hì,
I would go with thee
If it is thy pillow the sand
If it is thy bed the seaweed
If it is the fish thy candles bright
If it is the seals thy watchmen
I would drink, though all would abhor it
Of thy heart's blood after thy drowning __________________________
