I'm looking for the lyrics to Buain a'Rainich also possibly titled, "I am tired" "I am so very tired", and I believe it has different titles depending on whether its Scotts Gaelic or Irish Gaelic. I would prefer any Gaelic over English, but the English would be helpful too. I last heard this on one of the Rankin Family Albums.

Appreciate any help. Karina

I'd like to see the words also. Is this the same song that Silly Wizard does an instramental of on "Wild & beautiful", There they gave the title as " THA MI SGITH" which I've heard pronounced {Ham Ma Sky}.

It is in the database under Buain Na Rainich which in English is translated as something like Cutting the Bracken. Look in the database. It is also sometimes caled Tha mi sgith (I am tired).

_That's_ what "THa Mi S'gith" means?!? I've been trying to figure that one out for a long time - I purchased a tape by a local Celtic group a few months ago, and that was the first track.

It should be pronounced like ha-me-ski

Thanks very much folks! I guess I typed it in incorrectly when I first checked in the database. For those who are interested, I also know the tune as Cutting of the Fern.

Thanks again.
