The chorus has the "elana boyn bit" FIONNGHUALA Thuirt an gobha fuirighidh mi 'S thuirt an gobha falbhaidh mi 'S thuirt an gobha leis an othail A bh' air an do\rus an t-sa\bhail Gu rachadh e a shuirghe Se/ist 'S a gheala nam botham nam botham Pe ho ro bha hin an doicheam 'S hala ham to han an doicheam Am bothan a bh' aig Fionnghuala Bheirinn fead air fulmairean Bheirinn fead air falmairean Liuthannan beaga na mara Bheireamaid greis air an tarrainn Na maireadh na duirgh dhuinn He also knew of a third verse: Cha d'thuirt an dadan a' seo\ Cha d'thuirt an dadan a' seo\ Cha d'thuirt an dadan a' seo\ Bheireamaid greis air an tarrainn Na maireadh na duirgh dhuinn This song is also on the Music From the Western Isles collection. It's available from Greentrax as CDTRAX 9002 or as a cassette CTRAX 9002. The sixth cut has four Puirt-a-beuls, and the third one is this. Greentrax advises a booklet with the song texts, translations and commentary are available from them for 75p. @Irish @Gaelic filename[ FINNONGU CC oct99 Thanks one and all for the help;-} |
