A Fairy Lullaby

from Without a Chaperone by Reesha Dyer

/

about

Aren't fairies lovely? This folk song is originally Gaelic, and was collected in the 19th century and translated by Lachlan MacBean.

lyrics

I left my darling lying here,
a lying here, a lying here,
I left my darling lying here,
To go and gather blaeberries.

I've found the wee brown otter's track,
the otter's track, the otter's track
I've found the wee brown otter's track
But ne'er a trace o' my baby, O!

I found the track of the swan on the lake
the swan on the lack, the swan on the lack
I found the track of the swan on the lake,
But not the track of baby, O!

I found the track of the yellow fawn, the yellow fawn
I found the track of the yellow fawn,
But could not trace my baby, O!

I found the trail of the mountain mist,
the mountain mist, the mountain mist
I found the trail of the mountain mist,
But ne'er a trace of baby, O!

O! Hovan, Hovan Gorry og O,
Gorry og, O, Gorry og
O, Hovan, Hovan Gorry og O
I've lost my darling baby, O!

Hello! I'm Reesha, I sing songs and accompany them on the guitar with dubious proficiency. Some of them are funny, some of them are depressing. It's a magical mood lottery!
