Young Gaelgeyr (Manx speaker), Cristl, teaches us a much-loved Manx song, which was first written for the children of the Bunscoill Ghaelgagh to sing, and has now transcended age groups! 

The words are as follows: 

S'mie lhiam cappan dy hey my chaarjyn (I like a cup of tea, my friends)
S'mie lhiam cappan dy hey! (I like a cup of tea!)
O s'mie lhiam cappan dy hey my chaarjyn (I like a cup of tea, my friends)
S'mie lhiam cappan dy hey! (I like a cup of tea!)

Iu seose, my chaarjyn, seose, my chaarjyn (Drink up, my friends, up, my friends)
S'mie lhiam cappan dy hey (I like a cup of tea)
Iu seose, my chaarjyn, seose, my chaarjyn (Drink up, my friends, up, my friends)
S'mie lhiam cappan dy hey (I like a cup of tea)

Why not have a go - gow ayrn; join in!
