Oops! hit the wrong key!

So... I took the lyrics from Canasg Music.

Below is another version "Arrane ny Clean" that I found here. This pdf document has a sheet music and an explanation of the Manx line ("Horo hi ri ri" is a cooing sound meant to soothe a restless child. Pronunciation:"Ho ro hee ree ree". "Cadul gu lo" means "sleep on". Pronunciation: "Cajool goo low")
Another sheet music there

ARRANE NY CLEAN

Oh hush thee my dove, oh hush thee my rowan,
Tine oh hush thee my lapwing my little brown bird.
Oh hush thee my dove, oh hush thee my rowan,
oh hush thee me lapwing my little brown bird.

Oh fold thy wings and seek thy nest now,
Oh shine the berry on the bright tree.
The bird is home from the mountain and valley.
Oh ho-ro hi ri ri Ca-dul-gu-lo
Oh ho-ro hi ri ri Ca-dul-gu-lo

(oh-ho-ro-hee-ree-ree ca-jewl-goo-lo)
