As Laa’l Breeshey (St Bridget’s Day) approaches on 1st February, here is a Manx Folksong to St Bridget called ‘Vreeshey, Vreeshey’.
♫ Vreeshey, Vreeshey, tar gys my hie,
tar gys y thie aym noght.
Vreeshey tar o tar gys y thie aym noght.
O foshil jee yn dorrys da Breeshey,
as lhig da Breeshey cheet stiagh.
Vreeshey tar oo gys y thie aym noght.
Tar oo gys y thie aym noght. ♫
♫ Bridget, Bridget, come to my house,
come to my house tonight.
Open the door to Bridget,
and let Bridget come in.
Bridget, Bridget, come to my house,
come to my house tonight. ♫
