Скачать или смотреть Sheep Under The Snow - March 2013

In March 2013 we saw the Isle of Man's worst snow storm since 1963. Hundreds of volunteers turned out to help farmers search for livestock trapped under the snow drifts. This is a short example of the tireless efforts of a few who trekked over the wild hills and countryside.
Thanks to Manx trio, Barrule for the music - Ny Kirree fo Niaghtey ('The Sheep Under the Snow') from the album Barrule.
This track is was available for download from their website for free (http://www.barruletrio.com/) and and raised the huge sum of £6,353. donated to Isle of Man Agricultural Benevolent Trust.

Lyrics translated by A.W. Moore (1853-1909)
Ny Kirree fo Niaghtey - The Sheep Under The Snow:

After winter of snow and spring-tide of frost
The old sheep were dead and the small lambs alive
The men of Lonan rose up and they went forthwith
In Barrule's hollow they found the sheep dead

Oh! get up shepherds, and to the hill go ye
For the sheep deep as ever are under the snow

The men of Lonan rose up and of Kirk-Christ too
They found the little sheep in Agneash hollow
This said Nicholas Raby and he at home sick
"Beneath the snow are the sheep in Braid-farrane-fing"

The wethers in the front the rams in the midst
The ewes heavy with lamb coming after them
This said Nicholas Raby going up on the loft
"Be my seven blessings on my two thousand sheep

I've one sheep for Christmas and two for Easter
And two or three others for the time of death
I have sheep in the hollow and goats on Slieau-rea
Wild sheep in Coan-ny-chistey that will never come home"
