Summary

Belle Stewart sings fragments of a version of 'Pu'in Brackens' used by her as a lullaby. The first fragment is a phonetic approximation of the original Gaelic 'Tha mi Sgith (Buain na Rainich)'; the second is a Scots translation:

I am wearied [aa] ma lane,
Pu'in breckens, pu'in breckens,
I am wearied [aa] ma lane,
Pu'in breckens early.

Item Notes

Compare:

Tha mi sgìth 's mi leam fhìn,
Buain na rainich, buain na rainich
Tha mi sgìth 's mi leam fhìn,
Buain na rainich daonnan.
