Da burnie rins an da burnie rowesDa lambs dey dance ower da hedder-knowes,Hush-a-baa-baa, me treasure dear,Dey’ll naebody hurt thee whin Mam is near. Da laverick lifts an he sings ta aa,Da Winter comes wi da caald an snaa,Hush-a-baa-baa, me peerie flooer,Lang Willie is löin ahint da door. Da mares dey böl an da kye comes hame,We lay wis doon ida Gödie’s name,Hush-a-baa-baa, ma peerie ting,He covers wis aa wi His holy wing. Fetlar lullabye Husha-baa Mam’s peerie flooer;Sleep o sleep come ta dee shön.Mam sall watch dee ooer be ooerTill dy boannie sleep is döne.Till dy boannie sleep is döne,Till dy boannie sleep is döne, Mam sall watch dee ooer be ooerTill dy boannie sleep is döne. Bide, da simmer days ir comin;Dan we’ll rin aboot da knows,See da bees aa fleein, hummin,Peerie lambs an muckle yowes,Peerie lambs an muckle yowes,Peerie lambs an muckle yowes, See da bees aa fleein, hummin,Peerie lambs an muckle yowes. Noo dan! Here comes Willie Winkie,Baetin, baetin on his drum;Playin on his plinkie-plinkie;Rest an slumber shön ‘ill come.Rest an slumber shön ‘ill come,Rest an slumber shön ‘ill come, Playin on his plinkie-plinkie;Rest an slumber shön ‘ill come More coming once i get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
