Ushag veg ruy ny moanee doo ...

[TiddyAndFletch]

Ny moanee coo, ny moanee doo,
Ushag veg ruy ny moanee doo,
C'raad chaddil oo riyr 'syn oie ?

Are you trying to summon Cthulhu?

Just yearning for some Manx .

I slept last night on the top of the briar,
On the top of the briar, on the top of the briar,
I slept last night on the top of the briar,
And oh! what a wretched sleep!

Chaddil mish riyr eddyr daa guillag,
Eddyr daa guillag, eddyr daa guillag,
Chaddil mish riyr eddyr daa guillag,
Myr yinnagh yn oikan eddyr daa lhuishag,
As O! my cadley cha kiune!

Just googled it - Little Red Bird in Manx. That's really interesting! I didn't know it was still spoken.

What wouldn't I give to be 7 again ...

I thought it might be Manx. We learnt this at my singing club, so beautiful! (And sad)

Ny Kirree Fo Niaghtey

Yes ... I'd give a great deal to be fluent in Manx. It feels almost a betrayal to have such scattered, useless memories ...
