Ce n'est qu'un au revoir

Ce n'est qu'un au revoir!
Ce n'est qu'un au revoir, mes frères,
Ce n'est qu'un au revoir.
Oui, nous nous reverrons, mes frères,
Ce n'est qu'un au revoir.
Faut-il nous quitter sans espoir,
Sans espoir de retour ?
Faut-il nous quitter sans espoir
De nous revoir un jour ?  

Minguly Boat Song

What care we though, white the Minch is? 
What care we for wind or weather?
Let her go boys; every inch is 
Sailing homeward to Mingulay. 

Refrain:
Heel yo ho, boys; let her go, boys; 
Bring her head round, into the weather,
Hill you ho, boys, let her go, boys 
Sailing homeward to Mingulay

Wives are waiting, by the pier head, 
Or looking seaward, from the heather; 
Pull her round, boys, then you'll anchor 
'Ere the sun sets on Mingulay.

Refrain:
Heel yo ho, boys; let her go, boys; 
Bring her head round, into the weather,
Hill you ho, boys, let her go, boys 
Sailing homeward to Mingulay

Ships return now, heavy laden 
Mothers holdin' bairns a-cryin' 
They'll return, though, when the sun sets 
They'll return to Mingulay.  

Refrain:
Heel yo ho, boys; let her go, boys; 
Bring her head round, into the weather,
Hill you ho, boys, let her go, boys 
Sailing homeward to Mingulay
