Yes, I would like the answer to Martin's question too. I think I've heard an explanation, but I forget it.See 'Gie Dedanken Sind Frei' in the DT. Second verse. Does it qualify?
I'm looking for words for a Scottish macaronic I've heard, appropriately about a Highlander in Glasgow. If I get it, I'll post the lyrics.
Are there any partly Yiddish Macaronic songs?
Bobby Bob, if you want the words to Deus Meus; this is how I remember them - it should be substantially correct and maybe Annraoi or someone else can refine them.
Deus meus adiuva me,
Tabhair dom do dhearc a mhichíl Dé,
Tabhair dom do dhearc a mhichíl Dé,
Deus meus adiuva meDomine da quod peto a te,
Tabhair dom go dian a ghrian glán glé,
Tabhair dom go dian a ghrian glán glé ,
Domine da quod peto a teDomine, domine exaudi me,
m'anam bheith lán ded ghrá a Dhé,
m'anam bheith lán ded ghrá a Dhé,
Domine, domine exaudi me
