A Fairy Lullaby

I left my darling lying here
A lying here, a lying here
I left my darling lying here
To go and gather blaeberries

I've found the wee brown otter's track
The otter's track, the otter's track
I've found the wee brown otter's track
But ne'er a trace o' my baby, O!

I found the track of the swan on the lake
The swan on the lack, the swan on the lack
I found the track of the swan on the lake
But not the track of baby, O!

I found the track of the yellow fawn, the yellow fawn
I found the track of the yellow fawn
But could not trace my baby, O!

I found the trail of the mountain mist
The mountain mist, the mountain mist
I found the trail of the mountain mist
But ne'er a trace of baby, O!

O! Hovan, Hovan Gorry og O
Gorry og, O, Gorry og
O, Hovan, Hovan Gorry og O
I've lost my darling baby, O!
