Lyrics and translation Barbara Dickson - Sule Skerry
An
earthly
nooris
sits
and
spins
Une
morue
terrestre
s'assoit
et
file
And
aye
she
sings
ba
lilley
wain
Et
elle
chante
toujours
un
berceau
Sayin'
little
ken
I
my
bairn's
father
Disant
que
je
ne
connais
pas
le
père
de
mon
enfant
Far
less
the
land
that
he
bides
in
Encore
moins
le
pays
où
il
réside
And
he
was
there
at
her
bedfoot
Et
il
était
là
au
pied
de
son
lit
And
a
grumlie
guest,
I'm
sure,
'twas
he
Et
un
hôte
grincheux,
je
suis
sûre,
c'était
lui
Sayin'
here
am
I
thy
bairn's
father
Disant
que
voici,
je
suis
le
père
de
ton
enfant
Although
I
be
not
comely
Même
si
je
ne
suis
pas
beau
I
am
a
man
upon
the
land
Je
suis
un
homme
sur
la
terre
And
I
am
a
Silkie
in
the
sea
Et
je
suis
un
Silkie
dans
la
mer
But
when
I'm
far
and
far
frae
land
Mais
quand
je
suis
loin
et
loin
de
la
terre
My
home
it
is
in
Sule
Skerry
Ma
maison
est
à
Sule
Skerry
Then
he's
taen
oot
a
purse
o'
gold
Alors
il
a
sorti
une
bourse
d'or
And
he
has
thrown
it
upon
her
knee
Et
il
l'a
jetée
sur
ses
genoux
Sayin'
gi
tae
me
my
bonny
wee
son
Disant
donne-moi
mon
beau
petit
fils
And
tak'
thee
up
thy
nooris
fee
Et
prends
ton
salaire
de
morue
For
it'll
come
to
pass
on
a
summer's
day
Car
il
arrivera
un
jour
d'été
When
the
sun
shines
bright
on
every
stane
Quand
le
soleil
brillera
sur
chaque
pierre
That
I'll
come
and
tak'
my
bonny
wee
son
Que
je
viendrai
chercher
mon
beau
petit
fils
And
teach
him
how
to
swim
the
fame
Et
lui
apprendre
à
nager
dans
la
gloire
And
you
shall
marry
a
gunner
good
Et
tu
épouseras
un
bon
artilleur
And
a
proud
gunner,
I'm
sure
he'll
be
Et
un
artilleur
fier,
je
suis
sûre
qu'il
le
sera
But
the
very
first
shot,
that
ever
he
fires
Mais
le
tout
premier
tir
qu'il
tirera
jamais
He'll
kill
both
your
young
son
and
me
Il
tuera
ton
jeune
fils
et
moi
I
am
a
man
upon
the
land
Je
suis
un
homme
sur
la
terre
And
I
am
a
Silkie
in
the
sea
Et
je
suis
un
Silkie
dans
la
mer
But
when
I'm
far
and

quand
je
suis
loin
et
loin
de
la
terre
