This is a reel with words by Bernard Caine of Onchan (Kione Droghad).
She shoh dooyrt my vummig rish my yishag ayns my aegid,
she va shoh dooyrt my vummig rish my yishag 'sy traa shen.
she shoh dooyrt my vummig rish my yishag ayns my aegid,
she va shoh dooyrt my vummig rish my yishag 'sy traa shen.
Lhig dooin ooilley daunleyn noght, lhig dooin ceau kiarail ersooyl,
lhig dooin ooilley daunleyn noght, dy vodmayd boggoil ve,
she va shen dooyrt my vummig rish my yishag ayns my aegid,
she va shen dooyrt my vummig rish my yishag 'sy traa shen.
This is what my mummy said to my daddy when I was young,
This is what my mummy said to my daddy at that time.
This is what my mummy said to my daddy when I was young,
This is what my mummy said to my daddy at that time.
Let us all dance (?) tonight, let us cast our cares away,
Let us all dance (?) tonight, so that we might be joyful.
So that is what my mummy said to my daddy when I was young,
So that is what my mummy said to my daddy at that time.
This is my own translation and I'm not entirely sure of some of the words.
