Thread Name: Lyr Req: Brochan Lom Tana Lom / Hot Porridge Cold
Subject: hot porage, cold porage? Help!
I'm sorry if this is in the database, but as my Gaelic is as much as you would expect from a Saxon from England's South East, I can't spell the right sounds, so I can't search there. My sister returned from a working holiday in Loch Duich years ago, with a catchy and repetitive song which she believed to be about porage and which went something like (primary school phonetic miss-spelling coming up) brocken laum, tanner laum, brocken lau ma zooen. (I won't go on... it hurts to be so obviously wrong!) Can anyone correct me and put me on the road to the right words, with meaning if possible. (And probably pronunciation: I can mimic sounds I hear, but off the page maybe not.)
