about

A song in Manx for young children, taken from 'Roie Mygeayrt':

Ta peiagh ec y dorrys,
Bing bong, bing bong!
Ta peiagh ec y dorrys, bing bong!
“qui t’ayns shen cho moghey sy voghrey?”
“She mish t’ayn”, as ben y phost,
Bing bong, bing bong, bing bong!

[There’s someone at the door,
Who’s there so early in the morning?
It’s me the postwoman!]

“She mish ben y phost”,
Bing bong, bing bong!
“She mish ben y phost”, bing bong!
“Nee’m jannoo siyr, nee’m jannoo siyr,
Nee’m jannoo siyr, nee’m jannoo siyr,
S’eddrym my chassyn foast!”

[It’s me the post woman
I’ll hurry up,
My feet are light still.]

This was one of 34 songs and rhymes written by Annie Kissack for Mooinjer Veggey and Culture Vannin. The collection, 'Roie Mygeayrt', was developed as a resource to help young children learn some of the language of the Isle of Man.
More information about the Manx language and the resources available to learn it are available here:
