The great Selkie - Cécile Corbel (赛西儿·柯贝尔)[00:00:00]
An earthly nurse sits and sings[00:00:10]
And aye she sings by lily wean[00:00:15]
Saying "Little ken I my bairn's father[00:00:20]
Far less the land where he dwells in"[00:00:25]
For he came on night to her bed feet[00:00:29]
And a grumbly guest i'm sure was he[00:00:35]
Saying "Here am I thy bairn's father[00:00:39]
Although I be not comely"[00:00:45]
"I am a man upon the land[00:00:50]
I am a silkie on the sea[00:00:54]
And when I'm far and far frae land[00:00:59]
My home it is in sule skerrie"[00:01:04]
And he had ta'en a purse of gold[00:01:18]
And he had placed it upon her knee[00:01:24]
Saying Give to me my little young son[00:01:28]
And take thee up thy nurse's fee[00:01:33]
"And it shall come to pass on a summer's day[00:01:38]
When the sun shines bright on every stane[00:01:43]
I'll come and fetch my little young son[00:01:48]
And teach him how to swim the faem"[00:01:53]
"I am a man upon the land[00:01:58]
I am a silkie on the sea[00:02:03]
And when I'm far and far frae land[00:02:08]
My home it is in sule skerrie[00:02:13]
"And ye shall marry a gunner good[00:02:18]
And fine gunner I'm sure he'll be[00:02:23]
And the very first shot that e'er he shoots[00:02:28]
Will kill both my young son and me[00:02:33]
"I am a man upon the land[00:02:38]
I am a silkie on the sea[00:02:43]
And when I'm far and far frae land[00:02:48]
My home it is in sule skerrie"[00:02:52]
