Well, the wonderful Ms. Davis has answered my letter and it is more than I could hope for! She not only told me the name of the song but offered to record it for me so I could finally hear it. It is indeed from the Songs of the Hebrides is called "Coolins of Rum" and was translated by Elfrida Rivers as listed in the front of the book. Guess what? Elfrida Rivers was a pseudonym of Marion Zimmer Bradley. Not surprising as my searches on the net told me that she also wrote and composed. She did bit of filk herself for Lord of the Rings which whas also recorded by Ms. Davies for MZB.

Since you have interest in the songs as well George, I am going to suggest to her that she put her songs on Soundclick. So that others can download her songs for whatever she decides to charge for them. I am sure more than just you and I would love to have them and this makes them easily available to many people. I would hate to have them lost.

The Coolins of Rum (Songs of the Hebrides)
translated by Elfrida Rivers (Marion Zimmer Bradley)

The wind from the island brings songs of our sorrows
The cry of the gulls and the sighing of streams;
In all of my dreaming, I'm hearing the waters
That flow from the hills in the land of our dreams.

Blow westward, O sea-wind, and bring us some murmur
Adrift from our homeland of honor and truth;
In waking and sleeping, I'm hearing the waters
That flow from the hills in the land of our youth.

We sing in this far land the songs of our exile,
The pipes and the harps are fair as before;
But never shall music run sweet as the waters
That flow in that land we shall never see more.
