Subject: Gaelic Trad Cape Breton From: InOBU Date: 29 Apr 00 - 10:39 AM Hi Gang! Anyone have the Topic records ablum Gaelic Tradition in Cape Breton? I misplaced the song sheets inside it, and am looking for the words to Maili Dhonn, Bhoidheach Dhonn... Many thanks, Larry |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Gaelic Trad Cape Breton From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 29 Apr 00 - 01:43 PM MÀILI DHONN, BHÒIDHEACH DHONN Sung by John ("Seògan") Shaw, with the North Shore Singers. Recorded at Indian Brook, Victoria County, September 1976.
"The Màili Dhonn praised here is a ship which is portrayed as an attractive young woman. Gael. bréid means both the headdress ("kertch") worn by women in the Gaidhealtachd and the sails of a ship. Although this powerful song has been recorded elsewhere in Cape Breton, it is not known in Scotland. John Shaw ("Seògan") was raised near Mount Smokey on the North Shore and lived for a time with Malcolm Angus MacLeod at Sgir Dhu." Transcription, translation and notes by John Shaw, 1978. I've laid this one out as a table for the sake of clarity, but it may be that this involves an undesirable amount of extra code in the background, so I'd be inclined only to do it rarely. Malcolm |
