Lyrics

The Twa Corbies
Vocabulary
As I was walking all a lane'
I heard twa corbies makin' a'mane ahint-behind
The tane unto the tither did say O. ane-one
Whaur shall we gang and dine the day O anither-another
Oh whaur shall we gang and dine the day? auld-old
banes=bones
blaw-blow
It's in ahint yon auld fail dyke Corbies-crows
I wot there lies a new slain knight; e'en-eye
and naebody kens that he lies there O evermair-evermore
But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair O fail-dirt wall
But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair. gane-gone gang-go
hame-home
His hound is to the hunting gane hause-bane-breastbone
His hawk to fetch the wild-fowl hame kens-knows
His lady ta'en anither mate O lane-lone
So we may mak' our dinner swate O mane-noise
So we may mak' our dinner swate. mony-many
oot-out
Ye'll sit on his white hause-bane, pike-poke
And I'll pike oot his bonny blue e'en tane -one
Wi' ae lock o' his gowden hair O theek-thatch
We'll theek oor nest when it grows bare O tither-other
We'll theek oor nest when it grows bare. twa-two
wi'-with
There's mony a ane for him maks mane wot-know--(what)
But nane shall ken whaur he is gane
O'er his white banes when they are bare O
The wind shall blaw for evermair, O
The wind shall blaw for evermair.

Wonderfully ethereal piece! I loved the combination of layered flutes mixed with the vocals. Great timing and rhythm to the piece and it kept me wanting to listen through the whole piece. Best of luck with the song!

Instruments sound really nice! Cool tune as well.
I like the combination of the acoustics and the rumblin drum pattern, it creates a nice unique vibe.

Enchanting, enrapturing... thoroughly enjoyed your angelic voice and the genuine instrumentation.
