Clinkeraght ('Jingle Bells' in Manx Gaelic)
Channel: Culture Vannin
Date: 21/12/2018

A Manx language version of 'Jingle Bells', performed and animated by pupils of the Bunscoill Ghaelgagh, the Manx language primary school in St. John's, Isle of Man.
More about the Bunscoill Ghaelgagh can be found on the Learn Manx website: http://www.learnmanx.com/

The Manx words are given at the foot of the video, but the chorus is as follows:

Clinkeraght, clinkeraght, clinkal sheese y raad.
S'mie yn spoyrt ta markiagh magh as cabbyl tayrn nyn shleayd,
O! Clinkeraght, clinkeraght, clinkal sheese y raad.
S'mie yn spoyrt ta markiagh magh as cabbyl tayrn nyn shleayd.

The translation into Manx was done by Bob Carswell RBV.
