GUEST,Mike Yates Lyr Req: Caristiona (8) RE: Lyr Req: Caristiona 26 Aug 14

Fiona MacNeil of Barra once sang the following set of words:

Nach freagair thu, a Chairistiona?
E hó hi urúbhi,
Horó o hi hó roho,
E hó hi urúbhi.

Eagradh tu chuinninn fhin thu,
E hó hi urúbhi, etc.

Chi mi luingeas Caol lie,
E hó hi urúbhi, etc.

Translation:
Will you not answer, Cairistiona?
If you would answer, I would hear you.
I see ships on the Kyle of Islay
Coming to meet Cairistiona.
It is not to make a wedding,
But to put her in the low earth
Under the heavy sunken flagstones.
