The Bubbly-Jock

By Talisker

Just a childhood memory in the Scots

We fund the bubbly-jock on the tap road.
He was fair flochterous and bumbaizelt,
forwandert an’ in sair need o’ a chasin’!

A druive the beast taewards Sean,
Waffin an’ blubberin’, a queer sicht!
He claucht it wi’ a prodigious lowp,
An’ gaithered it tae his breest

It wis his thocht tae subdue it wi’ his
mingin’, black, schuil sock, richt ower the heid!
The thing swaged like a doomed gadgie,
demit tae his wanweird.

We oxtered him hame, prood an’ cantie,
tae oor Mither’s kitchie.
She wisnae ower impressed.
“Git that bluidy thing ootie here!”

I'm surprised she didnae sieze it, plowt it and roast it.

Fun, Oli.

I don't normally have any trouble with your dialect pieces but there were a couple of words here I struggled with: flochterous, wanweird.

Stil enjoyed,

Phil.

Flochterous = flapping

demit tae his wanweird = resigned to his unfortunate fate

Like Phil I usually find your Scottish stuff quite readable, but this one puzzled me a bit. I got the point, but not all the sentences I'm afraid. Is Scotch dialect or a language?

Thanks for the translation Oli.

Fledermaus: I think there's a combination of both here. Perhaps Oli has a better answer.
