about

The words of the first verse were relayed to Cornish Language scholar Thomas Tonkin in 1698 by Noel Cater of St Agnes, the manuscript of which now sits in the Courtney Library. Additional lines come from a workshop by Hilary Coleman with the children of Mousehole School in 2007. The noise, the noise, the noise...

A big hand to Gary Angove for helping with the Cornish pronunciation. Meur ras!

lyrics

Ha my ow mos, ha my ow mos
Ha my ow mos y’n goonlas
My a glewas, a glewas
An tros, a’ tros, a’ tros

A’n puskes munys mes my a drovyas
Unn pysk bras naw y lostow
Y’n goonlas y’n goonlas
Oll an bobel yn Porth ia ha Marghasyow
I na’or dh’y gensynsi

Ha my ow mos, ha my ow mos

My a glewas an son
A’n skathow ow koska mes my a drovyas
Kolon a’n mor, lost frangow
Dhe’n hevva
Oll an bobel yn Porth Enys ha Lulyn I na’or dh’y gensynsi

Ha my ow mos, ha my ow mos
Ha my ow mos y’n goonlas
An tros, a’ tros, a’ tros...

As I went out, as I went out,
As I went out on the blue-green downs
I heard, I heard
The noise, the noise, the noise

Of small fishes but I found
A big fish with nine tails
On the blue-green downs
All the people in Saint Ives and Marazion
Could not seize hold of it

As I went out, as I went out

I heard the sound
Of sleeping boats but I found
Heart of the ocean, sharks tail
To the Heva
All the people in Mousehole and Newlyn
Could not seize hold of it

As I went out, as I went out,
As I went out on the blue-green downs
The noise, the noise, the noise...
