This is a medley of the Scottish traditional tune B'fheàrr mar a bha mi'n-uiridh sung by Laura, and Doralice by Dorival Caymi, because both tunes share a common theme: a young girl getting herself into a pickle.
lyrics
B'fheàrr mar a bha mi'n-uiridh
na mar th mi'm bliadhna
B'fheàrr mar a bha mi'n-uiridh,
fir a'tighinn 'gam iarraidh
Ho ro mo dhuilichinn
mo dhuilichinn a rinn mi,
Ho ro mo dhuilichinn
nach robh mi na mo mhaighdin
Doralice, my dear,
I've made it perfectly clear
that love is simply not an option for me.
I like my solo life,
free of stress and strife,
with my guitar to keep me company,
Doralice, my dear,
there's something you need to hear:
There is NO WAY I'm getting tangled with you.
So, come on, my sweet,
get up on your feet,
and tell me WHAT are we going to do.
I should have known the day you came to town.
I tried to run but something held me down.
I should have listened
to that voice that spoke so clearly;
I should have known
this bit of fun would cost me dearly, BUT...
There's simply no way I am marrying a stranger;
No, my heart is
just not up for that kind of danger, Doralice.
Tag you're it, the move is up to you.
So tell me what are we going to do!
Tàillear a bha mi sireadh, Figheadair a fhuair mi
Ho ro.... etc.
Doralice eu bem que te disse,
amar é tolice é bobagem ilusão
Eu prefiro viver tão sozinho
ao som do lamento do meu violão
Doralice eu bem que te disse,
olha essa embrulhada em que vou me meter,
Agora, amor, Doralice meu bem
Como é que nós vamos fazer?
Um belo dia você me surgiu.
eu quis fugir mais você insistiu.
Alguma coisa bem que andava me avisando,
até parece que eu estava adivinando,
eu bem que
não queria me casar comtigo,
bem que
não queria enfrentar esse perigo,
Doralice.
Agora você tem que me dizer
Como é que nós vamos fazer?

Colleen Kitchen and Laura Zaerr have played together for many years, so we thought we'd do Latin Jazz on the harp and see where it takes us. Along the way we added Kevin Ronkko on percussion and very recently Ron Green on bass.
