Arrane Oie Vie Lyrics

Ta mee er clashtyn jeh chenn dooiney as y ven, va baghey ayns thie ayns y valley

I have heard of an old man and his woman (Wife) living in a house in the village

As un oie va ny guillyn goll mygeayrt, dy yeeaghyn son red ennagh dy yannoo

And one night the boys were going about, looking for something to do

As ren ad coodagh yn uinnag seose lesh soddyn

And they did cover the window up with sods

Er y voghree ren yn dooiney girree, dy yeeaghyn row sollys cheet

On the morning the old man did arise, to see was light coming

Cha ren eh fakin red erbee agh dorraghys, as hie eh dy lhie reesht

He did not see anything but darkness, and he went to sleep again

Traa lurg shen ren eh gaase gaccrys, as dirree as hie eh gys y dorrys

A time after that he did grow hungry, and arose and he went to the door

Ren eh fakin yn eayst - yn grian goll seose - goll sheese, ec Kione Bradda

And he did see the moon - the sun going up - going down at Bradda Head

Haink eh back reesht, gys y ven, as dooyrt eh

He came back again, to the woman, and he said

‘My Yee Paaie, ta’n seihll cheet dys jerrey, ta’n grian girree ayns y sheear’

‘My God Peggy, the world is coming to an end, the sun is rising in the west'
