Eddi Reader, Aye Waukin-O (Robert Burns)
*Chorus*
Ay, waukin-O, [always awake]
Waukin still and wearie;
Sleep I can get nane [none]
For thinkin on my dearie
Ay, waukin-O.
*Verses*
Simmer's a pleasant time, [summer]
Flowers of ev'ry colour;
The water rins o'er the heugh [runs over the bank]
And I long for my true lover.
When I sleep I dream,
When I wauk I'm irie; [apprehensive]
Sleep I can get nane
For thinking on my dearie.
Lanely night comes on, [lonely]
A' the lave are sleepin; [all the others]
I think on my bonny lad [beautiful]
And I bleer my een wi' greetin. [I blear my eyes with weeping]
Robert Burns (1759-1796)
