Cdul Gu Lo is Scottish not Manx, It is a lullaby written by Sir Walter Scott, in English it is called, Lullaby to an infant chief. Here are the words:

Oh, hush thee, my baby, thy sire was a Knight,
Thy mother a Lady, both lovely and bright;
The woods and the glens, from the towers which we see,
They are all belonging, dear baby to thee.
Oh ho ro i ri ri, Cadul gu lo,
Oh ho ro i ri ri, Cadul gu lo.

Oh fear not the bugle, tho' loudly it blows,
It calls thus the warders, that guard thy repose;
Their bows would be bended, their blades would be red,
Ere the step of a foeman, draws near to thy bed.
Oh ho ro i ri ri, Cadul gu lo,
Oh ho ro i ri ri, Cadul gu lo.

Oh hush thee my baby, the time will soon come,
When thy sleep will be broken, by trumpet and drum,
Then hush thee my darling, take rest while ye may,
For strife comes with manhood, and waking with day.
Oh ho ro i ri ri, Cadul gu lo,
Oh ho ro i ri ri, Cadul gu lo.

"Oh ho ro i ri ri," is just a soothing sound pronounced " Ho ro hee ree ree" and "Cadul gu lo" means " Keep sleeping, or Sleep on."
