about

Recorded at Ballagroove Studios, Isle of Man, Lula Brown [feat. Ruth Keggin, Amanda Brown and Matt Creer] sings the Manx traditional song, "ELLAN VANNIN" - to many an unofficial anthem for our beloved island.

Three verses in English and one in Manx Gaelic. 75% of your donation goes to getting clean water to the poorest people on the planet. 15% to bandcamp to keep their site going and promote new artists, and 10% to processing fees. Lula, Ballagroove studio, and the other recording artists make no profit from this record.

Words: Eliza Craven Green (1854)
Tune: J Townsend
Arrangement: Ruth Keggin and Lula Brown (2017)

lyrics

Verse 1
When the summer day is over
And it's busy cares have flown
I sit beneath the starlight
With a weary heart alone
Then rises like a vision
Sparkling bright in nature's glee
My own dear Ellan Vannin
With its green hills by the sea

Verse 2
The I hear the wavelets murmur
As they kiss the fairy shore
Then beneath the emerald waters
Sings the mermaid as of yore
And the fair Isle shines with beauty
As in youth it dawned on me
My own dear Ellan Vannin
With its green hills by the sea

Verse 3
Then memories sweet and tender
Come like music's plaintiff flow
Of the hearts in Ellan Vannin
That loved me long ago
And I give with tears and blessings
My fondest thoughts to thee
My own dear Ellan Vannin
With its green hills by the sea

Verse 4 (verse 1 in Manx Gaelic)
Tra ta'n laa souree ec jerrey
As imneaghyn lheie ersooyl
Mish my hoie fo ny rollageyn
Slane my lomarcan as skee
Eisht t'eh girree gollrish ashlish
Soilshean gial as dooghyssagh
She oo hene O Ellan Vannin
Lesh chrink glassey rish y cheayn
