Báidín Fheilimí [Feilimí's Little Boat]

Báidín Fheilimí d’imigh go Gabhla,

Báidín Fheilimí is Feilimí ann.

Báidín Fheilimí d’imigh go Gabhla,

Báidín Fheilimí is Feilimí ann.

Báidín bídeach, báidín beosach,

Báidín bóidheach, báidín Fheilimí

Báidín díreach, báidín deontach

Báidín Fheilimí is Feilimí ann.

Báidín Fheilimí d’imigh go Toraí,

Báidín Fheilimí is Feilimí ann.

Báidín Fheilimí d’imigh go Toraí,

Báidín Fheilimí is Feilimí ann.

Báidín Fheilimí is Feilimí ann.

Chorus

Báidín Fheilimí briseadh i dToraí,

Gaelic verses

Séist:

Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eile

Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eile

Fhir a' bhàta, na hóro eile

Mo shoraidh slàn leat 's gach àit' an déid thu

'S tric mi sealltainn on chnoc as àirde

Dh'fheuch am faic mi fear a' bhàta

An dig thu 'n-diugh na 'n dig thu màireach

'S mar dig thu idir gur truagh a tha mi

Tha mo chridhe-sa briste brùite

'S tric na deòir a ruith o m' shùilean

An dig thu nochd na 'm bi mo dhùil riut

Na 'n dùin mi 'n doras le osna thùrsaich?

'S tric mi faighneachd de luchd nam bàta

Am fac' iad thu na 'm bheil thu sàbhailt

Ach 's ann a tha gach aon dhiubh 'g ràitinn

Gur gòrach mise ma thug mi gràdh dhut

Gheall mo leannan dhomh gùn dhen t-sìoda

Gheall e siud agus breacan rìomhach

Fàinn' òir anns am faicinn ìomhaigh

Ach 's eagal leam gun dèan e dìochuimhn'

Ged a thuirt iad gun robh thu aotrom

Cha do lughdaich siud mo ghaol ort

Bidh tu m' aisling anns an oidhche

Is anns a' mhadainn bidh mi 'gad fhaighneachd

Thug mi gaol dhut 's chan fhaod mi àicheadh

Cha ghaol bliadhna 's cha ghaol ràithe

Ach gaol a thòisich nuair bha mi 'm phàiste

'S nach searg a chaoidh gus an claoidh am bàs mi

Tha mo chàirdean gu tric ag innseadh

Gum feum mi d' aogas a leig' air dìochuimhn'

Ach tha 'n comhairle dhomh cho dìomhain

'S bi tilleadh mara 's i toirt lìonaidh

Bidh mi tuille tùrsach deurach

Mar eala bhàn 's i an dèidh a reubadh

Guileag bàis aic' air lochan feurach

Is càch gu lèir an dèidh a trèigeadh

 

To Know Her Is To Love Her.

Чтобы узнать, знаю знаю ее Это любовь любовь любовь ее Только, чтобы видеть ее улыбку Делает мою жизнь стоит Чтобы узнать, знаю знаю ее Это любовь любовь любовь ее И я делаю.
Thank you Comrade Oh Dock!

To know, know, know her
is to love, love, love her.
'Just, just to see her smile,
makes my life worth while.

Are you asking yourself what does a photo of a young Bridget Brigitte Bardot have to do with a Beatles tune? Well let me tell you. Our comrade from Sacramento left a comment under the "If You Row, You Know" post written in Russian. By using the magic of Google, I translated his comment into English. There was all this "to know know know her is love love love her" stuff. Remembering that the Tillerman had assigned a Beatles themed task to the class, I did a search. Sure enough, "To Know Her Is To Love Her" by the Beatles turned up. Just for the heck of it, I did an image search and up popped the lovely Ms. Bardot. Et Dieu créa la femme.

 

A Musical Interlude.

Via Fuu or Zen, depending on the network. To quote Fuu, "Tight!"
