In one of the versions of the "Silkie of Sule Skerry," there is mention of a song called "ba lilley wain." I'm looking to have this Phrase translated and maybe even song lyrics if anyone knows it.

I think it's ba lilly wean, wean means child. Th is what Wikipedia says it means, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Silkie_of_Sule_Skerry
