Subject: RE: Help! - o cruidh mo cruit - meaning
I too am looking for translation of part of "An Eriskay Love Lilt". My copy of the music shows it was an "English adaptation and pianoforte accompaniment by Marjory Kennedy-Fraser."
It shows the pronunciation of the above subject phrase, to be "crotch mo chree" and means "Heart of my heart".

What I would like to know is what the chorus means.
Here's the words as shown in my copy.
Vair me oro van o
Vair me oro van ee
Vair me oru o ho
Sad am I without thee.

Would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Barb
