Thread Name: Lyr Req: A Mhòrag 'S Na Horo Gheallaidh (Clannad)
Subject: RE: Mhorag's Na Horo Gheallaidh--need lyrics!
This is fascinating, I've been chasing all over the web today looking for the lyrics to this song and I find there has been a discussion only a few days ago. And Bill Kennedy's is the only transcription I've found that includes the chorus (for which much thanks therefore. Where did you get it?). The funny thing is, what I read there for the chorus is not like what I'm hearing. I know Gaelic misses out lots of consonants and has unusual pronunciations of vowels, but there still seems to be some difference. How Clannad sing the chorus sounds like "Him baw haw keeyaw, hyoo rubull hoor yuppy, him baw haw keeyaw"... but don't quote me on that. :(
