Translation (The Son Of The Earl Of The) White Ban
I saw your longship on the sea
There was a helm of gold on her, and two silver masts
And shrowds of Galway silk
Rich red silk from Spain
It was not in Glasgow that it was (seen)
[ Mouth Music Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Nor in Dunvegan, small and lowly
Nor in Duntulm of the white banners !

From Colum Johnston (Barra), School of Scottish Studies recording.
- usually though of as a 'waulking song', the performance here is as it might have been on board
a ship.
