《The Great Selkie》歌词

[00:00:00] The great Selkie - Cécile Corbel (赛西儿·柯贝尔)

[00:00:10] An earthly nurse sits and sings

[00:00:15] And aye she sings by lily wean

[00:00:20] Saying "Little ken I my bairn's father

[00:00:25] Far less the land where he dwells in"

[00:00:29] For he came on night to her bed feet

[00:00:35] And a grumbly guest i'm sure was he

[00:00:39] Saying "Here am I thy bairn's father

[00:00:45] Although I be not comely"

[00:00:50] "I am a man upon the land

[00:00:54] I am a silkie on the sea

[00:00:59] And when I'm far and far frae land

[00:01:04] My home it is in sule skerrie"

[00:01:18] And he had ta'en a purse of gold

[00:01:24] And he had placed it upon her knee

[00:01:28] Saying Give to me my little young son

[00:01:33] And take thee up thy nurse's fee

[00:01:38] "And it shall come to pass on a summer's day

[00:01:43] When the sun shines bright on every stane

[00:01:48] I'll come and fetch my little young son

[00:01:53] And teach him how to swim the faem"

[00:01:58] "I am a man upon the land

[00:02:03] I am a silkie on the sea

[00:02:08] And when I'm far and far frae land

[00:02:13] My home it is in sule skerrie

[00:02:18] "And ye shall marry a gunner good

[00:02:23] And fine gunner I'm sure he'll be

[00:02:28] And the very first shot that e'er he shoots

[00:02:33] Will kill both my young son and me

[00:02:38] "I am a man upon the land

[00:02:43] I am a silkie on the sea

[00:02:48] And when I'm far and far frae land

[00:02:52] My home it is in sule skerrie"
