Two Scottish Folk Songs arranged by Marjory Kennedy-Fraser

Marie McLaughlin
Piano: Antonio Pappano


Vair me oro van o,
Vair me oro van ee,
Vair me oru o ho,
Sad am I without thee.

When I'm lonely, dear white heart,
Black the night or wild the sea,
By loves light my foot finds the old pathway to thee.

Vair me oro van o,
Vair me oro van ee,
Vair me oru o ho,
Sad am I without thee.

Last night by the sheiling was Mairi, my beloved,
Out on the hillside by the sheiling, my Mairi, my beloved.
Mo Mhairi, mo leannan, mo Mhairi my beloved.
On the hillside by the sheiling, my Mairi, my beloved.

Like the white lily floating in the peat hags dark waters,
Pure and white as the lily in the peat hags dark waters.
Mo Mhairi, mo leannan, mo Mhairi my beloved.
Like the lily white, floating in the peat hags dark waters.

Thourt the music of my heart,
Harp of joy, o cruit mo chridh,
Moon of guidance by night,
Strength and light thourt me.

Vair me oro van o,
Vair me oro van ee,
Vair me oru o ho,
Sad am I without thee.

Anyone know where to find the sheet music for this song?

[DFlatau]

Dear Marie, do hope you get a chance to hear Our Love abot....Heard your DVD of La Traviata, incredibly moving performance. My ex wife Joanne Brown was often guest star on Friday Night is Music Night but was a lyric soprrano.

Warm Greetings David Flatau
