Wi' Nae Wee Bairn Ye'll Me Beget
The Magnetic Fields · 69 Love Songs Pt. 3 [1999]
My ainly pang'll be regret. A maiden I will dee
But I'll turn into a nightengale and song will warm my heart
Well I'll turn nto a threshing machine and tear that bird apart
Wi' nae wee bairn ye'll me beget Untwinkle, little ee
My ainly pang'll be regret. A maiden I will dee
But I'll turn into a vampire in case you own a neck
Well I'll turn into a silver cross and send me back to heck
Wi' nae wee bairn ye'll me beget Untwinkle, little ee
My ainly pang'll be regret. A maiden I will dee
But I'll turn into a hydrogen bomb and atomize the air
Well I'll turn into a cockroack and youll see if I care
Wi' nae wee bairn ye'll me beget Untwinkle, little ee
My ainly pang'll be regret. A maiden I will dee
But I'll turn into a super nova and burn up everything
Well I'll turn into a black little hole and youll turn into string
Wi' nae wee bairn ye'll me beget Untwinkle, little ee
My ainly pang'll be regret. A maiden I will dee
But I'll turn into God himself and you will come to me
Then I will not believe in you and then where will you be?
Wi' nae wee bairn ye'll me beget Untwinkle, little ee
My ainly pang'll be regret. A maiden I will dee
Wi' nae wee bairn ye'll me beget Untwinkle, little ee
My ainly pang'll be regret. A maiden I will dee
Wi' Nae Wee Bairn Ye'll Me Beget
The Magnetic Fields' 'Wi' Nae Wee Bairn Ye'll Me Beget' stands as a haunting centerpiece on the 1999 album '69 Love Songs Pt. 3.' Recorded by the Scottish indie trio, the track exemplifies their signature blend of folk instrumentation and surreal, poetic lyricism. The song reflects the band's deep engagement with Scottish cultural themes and their unique ability to weave melancholic narratives into accessible melodies. As part of their broader discography during the late 1990s, this recording captures the group's evolution from experimental noise to a more refined, story-driven sound that would define their subsequent work. Its enduring appeal lies in its atmospheric quality and the way it balances traditional songwriting structures with the band's distinctively quirky and introspective artistic vision.
