About

From Lorre Wyatt – “A weary woman pauses in her work and searches the sea for sight of a sail. She is filled with dreams of her love, and of a special harvest yet to come. Originally in Gaelic, this hauntingly beautiful work song is from Islay ("I-lay”), the southernmost island in the Hebrides."

Islay Reaping Song Lyrics

A day in the cornfield, I a-reaping
Cutting my sheaf, and it was not easy;
All the day long, the hot sun beating
Ocean below me a-moaning and weeping

Ho ro na ho ro ri o
Hi ri na ho ro eile
Ho ro na ho ro ri o

Sighing, I sat on the lonely hillside
Looking to see if my lover was coming;
Longing to see the sails appearing
Telling me that it's home he'll be nearing

Ho ro na ho ro ri o
Hi ri na ho ro eile
Ho ro na ho ro ri o

Sowing the field was in the springtime
When will he know what a harvest is coming?
Snow white seagull, little white seagull
Carry my singing across to my true love

Ho ro na ho ro ri o
Hi ri na ho ro eile
Ho ro na ho ro ri o
