Isle of Man Lullaby (in the Manx language)
Little red bird of the black peat ground Black peat ground, black peat ground
Little red bird of the black peat ground Where did you sleep last night?
Did I not sleep last night on the top of the bush On the top of the bush, on the top of the bush
With rain falling on every side And oh! wretched was my sleep
Little red bird of the black peat ground Black peat ground, black peat ground
Little red bird of the black peat ground Where did you sleep last night?
Did I not sleep last night on the top of the briar Top of the briar, top of the briar
While the wind was blowing all around And oh! wretched was my sleep
Little red bird of the black peat ground Black peat ground, black peat ground
Little red bird of the black peat ground Where did you sleep last night?
Did I not sleep last night on the ridge of the roof Ridge of the roof, ridge of the roof
Where many a man's son slept below me And oh! wretched was my sleep
Little red bird of the black peat ground Black peat ground, black peat ground
Little red bird of the black peat ground Where did you sleep last night?
I slept last night between two leaves Between two leaves, between two leaves
As the baby sleeps on the breast of the mother And oh! my sleep was good
