the new verses in English about Canada, Germany,Cordoba and World Music are not translations of the Gaelic verses given in the first message; the verse about the stars is. The Gaelic about going to Ireland says I would go to Ireland to the festival of the young women, and the verse about Uist (Uibhist), I would go to Uist where the corn is ripe.

Dheighinn dhan a' ghealaich leat
Nan gealladh tu mo phòsadh.

I would go to the moon with you If you would promise to marry me

I would go to Uist, I would go to Ireland, I would go to the stars, etc.

Runrig Fan posted this song in 2019 but without the modern verses re "world music" etc. https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=165765#3979676

I think it may also be mentioned in a compilation of songs with similar fill-oro choruses, but I can't find that. I know I have come across the new lyrics, the ones given in English in this thread, before. They are in this Talitha MacKenzie version http://www.celticlyricscorner.net/mackenzietalitha/fill.htm

Dheidhinn leat a dh'Uibhist        
A sheòladh air Loch Aineort        
        
Dheidhinn leat a dhan Ghearmailt        
A cheannach grìogag òmar        
        
Dheidhinn leat a dh'Eirinn        
A chluinntinn ceòl na clàrsaich        
        
Dheidhinn leat a Chanada        
A sheinn aig Loch Ontario        
        
Dheidhinn leat a Chórdoba        
A dh'ithe biadh al fresco        
        
Dheidhinn leat a Riocaud        
A chluich Ceòl na Cruinne

-- more work for Joe or another mudelf, to combine these two threads. And although "bhòidheach" is correct, maybe we still have to leave the accent marks (as in ò) out of thread titles to make the words searchable.
