about

We learned waulking this song from the wonderful Cape Breton singer Mary Jane Lamond. Waulking songs are rhythmic songs that were made up by women working in groups to accompany their work and coordinate the beating as they cleaned and softened cloth (tweed.) The Choruses of this song are sung in the lost ancient language of the Picts and the verses are Scots Gaelic.

lyrics

Hoireann o rathill iu o
Huiraibh o o ra thug eile
Hoireann o rathill iu o

A Mhic Leoid ma dh’fhag thu ‘n duthaich
Guma cliuteach thig do sgeula

Gum cliuiteach thig do litir
Agus miosail agam fhein i

‘ille dhuinn a chuailean dualaich
‘S mor a luaidh a fhuair mi fhein ort

Chi mi’m bata mach ‘an caolas
Tha mo ghaol innte gun eirigh

Chi mi’ m bata mach a’ ruadh
‘S i na siubhal fo lan eudach

‘Sard a chluinnte fuaim a crannaibh
‘S i fo dheannaibh tro chuain Eirinn

‘S ard a chluinnte fuaim a h-aodach
Nuair a sgaoli I oir’ gu leir I

Cuir an stiur an laimh mo leannan
Ge b’e cala dheanadh fhein e

Cuir an stiuir ‘an laimh a’ Leodaich
‘S e nach soradh stop Jamaica

‘S e nach soradh stop dhe’ n bhranndaidh
Anns a’ gheamhradh am na feuma

Muladach mi ‘siubhal coille
Air latha soilleir ‘us gun ghrein ann
