Thread Name: Lyr Req: Scots Song 'rovin', rovin' garioch go'
Subject: RE: Scots Song 'rovin', rovin' garioch go'
The chorus in Gaelic:
Hò-bhan, hò-bhan, Goiridh òg O Goiridh òg O, Goiridh òg O Hò-bhan, hò-bhan, Goiridh òg O Gu'n dh'fhalbh mo ghaoil 's gu'n dh'fhàg e mi.
The Chorus to the English version in the DT:
Ho-van, ho-van gorry o go, gorry o go, gorry o go; Ho-van, ho-van gorry o go,
The 'English' chorus looks just like a bad transliteration of the Gaelic. I'm sure the lines make perfect sense but except that I'd bet I recognise the word for 'woman' in 'bhan' I can't help.
