Arrane Oie Vie (Good Night Song)

From Manx Ballads, collected by A.W. Moore (1896). According to Mona Douglas:

It was the custom to sing this song at the breaking-up of all gatherings, much in the same way as ‘Auld Lang Syne’ is still used in Scotland and elsewhere.” (Twelve Manx Folksongs, 1928, p32-3).

Gaelg (Manx) Baarle (English)
My guillyn vie, te traa goll thie;
Ta’n stoyll ta foym greinnagh me roym;
Te signal dooin dy ghleasagh;
Te taym dys traa ny liabbagh.
My good boys, it’s time to go home;
The stool that’s under me urges me to be off;
It signals us to move off;
It draws to time of going to bed.
My guillyn vie, te traa goll thie;
Ta’n dooid cheet er y chiollagh;
Te geginagh shin dy goll dy lhie;
Te bunnys traa dy graa oie vie.
My good boys, it’s time to go home;
The darkness comes upon the hearth;
It forces to go to bed;
It’s nearly time to say good night.
