Shetland's Lord's Prayer

Recorded in the 1770's by George Low. First published in his "A Tour through the Islands of Orkney and Schetland. Kirkwall: William Peace, 1879.".

Fy vor or er i Chimeri. / Halaght vara nam dit.
La Konungdum din cumma. / La vill din vera guerde
i vrildin sindaeri chimeri. / Gav vus dagh u dagloght brau.
Forgive sindorwara / sin vi forgiva gem ao sinda gainst wus.
Lia wus ik? o vera tempa, / but delivra wus fro adlu idlu.
For do i ir Kongungdum, u puri, u glori, Amen

Translation and analysis coming soon.
