Thread Name: Lyr Req: Brochan Lom Tana Lom / Hot Porridge Cold
Subject: RE: hot porage, cold porage? Help!
Here's what ye are luikin' for, I believe:
Rann/Verse 1:
Brochan lom, tana lom, brochan lom s—ghain (3x)
Brochan lom 's e tana lom, 's e brochan lom s—ghain
SŠist/Chorus:
Brochan tana, tana, tana, brochan lom s—ghain (3x)
Brochan lom 's e tana lom, 's e brochan lom s—ghain
Rann/Verse 2:
Thugaibh aran do na balaich leis a' bhrocan s—ghain (3x)
Brochan lom 's e tana lom, 's e brochan lom s—ghain
(SŠist/Chorus)
Rann/Verse 3:
Seo an rud a gheibheamaid o nighean Gobha 'n Duine (3x)
Brochan lom 's e tana lom, 's e brochan lom s—ghain
(SŠist/Chorus)
A rough translation (which invites correction frae those whae hae mair Gaelic) is as follows:
1) Thin porridge, sparse & thin, thin & watery porridge.
Thin porridge, it is sparse & thin, it is thin & watery porridge.
2) Give bread to the lads with the watery porridge.
Thin porridge, it is sparse & thin, it is thin & watery porridge.
3) This is the thing to get from the blackmith's daughter.
Thin porridge, it is sparse & thin, it is thin & watery porridge.
Gabh sp•rs! (Have fun!)
