Padjer Columb Killey - Ruth Keggin Gell

An ancient Manx prayer for peace, sung by Ruth Keggin Gell: 'Padjer Columb Killey' (St. Columba's Prayer)

The Manx Gaelic words of the prayer are:

Shee Yee as shee ghooinney
Shee Yee as Columb Killey
Er dagh uinniag, er dagh dorrys
Er dagh towl cur stiagh re hollys
Er kiare corneilyn y thie
Er y voayl ta mee my lhie
As shee Yee orrym pene.

A translation into English is:

Peace of God and peace of man,
Peace of God on Columb-Killey,
On each window and each door,
On every hole admitting moonlight,
On the four corners of the house,
On the place of my rest,
And peace of God on myself.
