DT Lyrics:





Subject: Lyr Add: 'SI MORAG
From: Largo
Date: 17 Apr 98 - 04:39 AM

Hi Catfeet !

I told you I'd find it, didn't I ? OK, Here it is, enjoy......

'Si Morag, 'si Morag, 'si Morag a rinn a' bhanais
'Si Morag, 'si Morag a rinn a' bhanais ainmeil. (repeat)

Bha i dubh an uiridh
Agus tha i dubh am bliadhna
'S bha i dubh a h-uile latha
Chunnaic mise riamh i. (repeat)

'Si Morag, etc.

Bha fear an tighe aig bean an tighe
'S a' sgallag aig an t-searbhant
Bha'm buachaille aig a' bhanarach
'S mo sheanair aig mo sheanmhair. (repeat)

'Si Morag, etc.

Bha Seonaid is fidheall aic'
Raonaid is piob aic'
Mor nam dos is feadan aic'
Is Sheinneadh iad an ruidhle. (repeat)

'Si Morag, etc.

There is another variant of the last string of the third couplet. It is:

agus h-uile duine cluiche an riol e.

And for just in case (I'm not quite sure you DO speak Na Gaidhlig) I place the translation in English:

Translation

Didn't Morag have the most wonderful wedding;
The most wonderful wedding of them all.
Didn't Morag have the most wonderful wedding
much spoken about by everyone.

She was black haired last year
and she is still black haired this year
She's been black haired since the
first time that I ever saw her.

The man of the house danced with the good wife:
The farm-hand with the maid.
The cowherd danced with the milkmaid
and my grandfather and grandmother danced together too.

Janet played the fiddle
and Rachel played the pipes.
Mor nan Dos played the chanter
and they all played together for the wedding reel.

Well, hope it will help you !
Cheers and best Regards,
Largo

You might also be interested in Dónal agus Mórag, the Rathlin Island version which is now better known due to a recording by Altan. It's in the Digital Tradition (DT) database.

An easy way to find the DT is to type the name Morag (leave out the accent mark) in the Lyrics and Knowledge Search box at the top of this page. (there are more songs about Dónal than about Mòrag, hence the recommended search word)
