Lyrics

SMILE IN YOUR SLEEP
[HUSH HUSH]
CHI MI NA MOR-BHEANNA
[THE MIST COVERED MOUNTAINS OF HOME]

O chi chi mi na mor-bheanna; O chi chi mi na corr-bheanna
O chi chi mi na coir-each-an Chi mi na sgor-an fo cheo
[english]
Hoo O Soon shall I see them. O Hee O see them O see them O
Ho ro Soon shall I see them, The mist covered mountains of home

CHORUS
Hush, hush, time to be sleeping
Hush, hush, dreams come a-creeping
Dreams of peace and of freedom
So smile in your sleep, bonny baby

Once our valleys were ringing
with songs of our children singing,
But now sheep bleat till the evening
and shielings lie empty and broken
We stood with heads bowed in prayerWhile factors laid our cottages bare
The flames licked the clean mountain air
And many were dead by the morning

Where is our proud highland mettle
Our troops once so fierce in battle
Now stand, cowed, huddled like cattle
And wait to be shipped o'er the ocean


CHORUS

No use pleading or praying
For gone, gone is all hope of staying
Hush, Hush,the anchor's a-weighing
Don't cry in your sleep, bonny baby

CHORUS of Chi Mi Na Mor-Bheanna
CHORUS of Chi Mi Na Mor-Bheanna

bleat: sound made by a sheep
shielings: small building
factor: agent,collector of rents
