A lyanvan, O my child, my joy, My love, my heart's desire, The cricket sings you a lullabye, Beside the dying fire. Dusk is drawn and the Green Man's thorn Is wreathed in rings of fog. Sheevra sails his boat 'til mornUpon the starry bog. A lyanvan, O the pale half-moon, Hath brimmed her cusp in dew, And weeps to hear this sad, sleep tune, I sing, my love, to you. Gartan Mothers Lullaby Sheet Music. Traditional Scottish Gaelic singing. I thought I'd write this to help people sing and understand Gaelic song and traditional Gaelic singing better.

Categories For the purposes of singing Gaelic song, I believe there are two main categories: Dance tunes (puirt) and work songs (includes waulking songs, rowing, reaping and other work songs).
