about
A song in manx for young children, taken from 'Roie Mygeayrt':
Er y ghowaltys, honnick mee booa
C’red v’ee gra? Moo Moo,
Moo Moo, Moo,
Moo Moo, Moo,
C’red v’ee gra? Moo Moo.
[On the farm I saw a cow
What was she saying?]
Er y ghowaltys, honnick mee cabbyl
C’red v’ee gra? Naa, Naa
Naa, Naa, Naa,
Naa, Naa, Naa,
C’red v’ee gra? Naa, Naa
[On the farm I saw a horse
What was she saying?]
Er y ghowaltys, honnick mee kirree
C’red v’ee gra? Baa, Baa,
Baa, Baa, Baa,
Baa, Baa, Baa,
C’red v’ee gra? Baa, Baa.
[On the farm I saw a sheep
What was she saying?]
Er y ghowaltys, honnick mee thunnag,
C’red v’ee gra? Quack, Quack,
Quack, Quack, Quack,
Quack, Quack, Quack,
C’red v’ee gra? Quack, Quack.
[On the farm I saw a duck
What was she saying?]
