Gaelic Waulking Song Group
A spinning song from Barra.
Gr�dh air eiteagan airinn hi� ri�
Gus an sn�omh mi l�ine �n t-sn�th dhuit
Bun a� chip, air a� chip, bun a� ruid, air a� ruid
Eun beag air a� nid, seinnidh e l�mh riut
Beinn dubh, seinn dubh, � ho r� l�n dubh
Gr�dh air eiteagan airinn hi� ri�
Gus an sn�omh mi l�ine �n t-sn�th dhuit
Chuireadh an l�on �s cha do dh�fh�s e
Tha �bheart-fhigh� an coille Ph�draig
�S a� bhan-fhigheach gun bhreith a m�thair
Than t-iteachan �n �it� na ban-righ
�S a� chl�imh air caor� an fh�saich
Tha �n dealg-sp�l aig R�gh na Frainge
Gr�dh air eiteagan airinn hi� ri�
Till I spin a shirt of yarn for you
Bun a� chip, air a� chip, bun a� ruid, air a� ruid
Eun beag air a� nid, seinnidh e l�mh riut
Beinn dubh, seinn dubh, � ho r� l�n dubh
Gr�dh air eiteagan airinn hi� ri�
Till I spin a shirt of yarn for you
The flax has been planted but hasn�t grown
The loom is in St Patrick�s Wood
The weaver hasn�t been born from her mother
The queen has the bobbin
The wool is on the sheep of the wilderness
The King of France has the shuttle-pin
