Notes 1 |
In this love song the bard pleads with Màili, the girl he loves, to return from the Lowlands. His heart is so miserable that he will die. There is no girl like her. He describes her beautiful fair skin and rosy cheeks. He would prefer to be in his grave with her than be with another girl. |
