Click here to get to a Web page about the album. There's a sound clip from the song, but no lyrics. I didn't know about this one. Guess I'll have to pick it up.

thanks, joe offer! my code name is now 'deborah'. i've just signed up officially. a dear friend of mine told me that if i started i'd be hooked. well, tony burns, here i am.

re: "somebody".

i have the cd. connie dover doesn't put all the lyrics on the liner. i'm not sure i'm catching all the words correctly. the liner notes say "An 18th C. code song about the exiled Bonnie Prince Charlie, and one of many songs which express yearning for a Stuart king on the throne of Scotland. I have set the lyrics to a variant of the Irish tune, "The Star of the County Down". the first verse starts, "My heart is sore, I dare not tell My heart is sore for Somebody. I would walk the winter's night All for the sight of Somebody".

by the way....great cd. i recommend it. ~deborah

It's a beautiful song, and for some reason the words are posted in the sappy Narada cd, "Heart of the Celts: songs of love" with Connie Dover singing it and a few others. I've created a separate thread here with the words. I think I'll learn it, too- I didn't know about the Bonnie Prince Charlie connection but I like it even better now I do know.

From a couple of Gaelic-English sites (not the same but a close spelling)

ochòin! interj. expressing sorrow; accented on second syllable

ochòin alas, Irish och ón; literally "alas this"! From och and the old pronoun ón, discussed under eadhon.

I found these by starting at http://www.ceantar.org/Dicts/index.html
