Chan Eil Mo Leanann Ann An Seo - Scottish Traditional
		This is a puirt-a-beul [mouth music] song from the Isle of Lewis, Scotland. It doesn't really have anything to do with Katey Daley, we just thought it sounded cool in the middle! The girl singing here is complaining because the guy she's interested in didn't show up to the dance. Jonquele Jones of Cor Gaeilge Texais provided the translation on this. Thanks, Jonquele! Chan eil mo leannan ann an seo Cha robh e raoir's cha bhi e nochd Chan eil mo leannan ann an seo No fear a thogfas m'intinn [translation] My sweetheart is not here He was not there last night and he will not Be tonight. My sweetheart is not here Nor a man that excited my mind. [chorus] 'S i o al o al o al am, 'S i o al o al o al am, 'S i o al o al o al am, 'S i o al am 's i h-abhram. [no translation necessary...that's just diddling] Caolas eadar mi 's mo luaidh, Caolas eadar mi 's mo luaidh, Caolas eadar mi 's mo luaidh, Is cuan eadar mi 's m'annsachd. [chorus] [translation] Narrows between me and my beloved Narrows between me and my beloved Narrows between me and my beloved And a sea between me and my love. Caolas Bheàrnaraigh is Uig, Caolas Bheàrnaraigh is Uig, Caolas Bheàrnaraigh is Uig, Gur tric mo shùil a-null air. [translation] Straights of Berneray and Uig Straights of Berneray and Uig Straights of Berneray and Uig That often my eyes go over to it. [chorus] Arrangement: Amberhawke Backup Vocals: Sean Morse and Linda King Guitar: Linda King Bass: Sean Morse
