Question for a song lyrics
This is an old traditional Hebridean song, could anyone help me to translate the lyrics to modern English?
Thank you.
I guess it has some kind of romantic backgrounds, but I still not quite sure how it connect with high tide or low tide??
Especially for the last sentence below, I totally lost...
"Shoreward the sea mew
comes flying at low tide,
But seaward my heart flies out seaward to thee."
Also, what does 'Be't', 'Ne'er' mean??
=Adó, Adé
Clings dulse to the sea rock
Clings heart to the loved one
Be’t high tide or low tide

Shoreward the sea mew
comes flying at low tide,
But seaward my heart flies out seaward to thee.
