I have an Irish-speaking friend but I'm certain the Scots pronunciation is very different... Any help much appreciated, Regards, Ang |

You will find out more about the song if you enter the title in the Lyrics and Knowledge search box. Search both the DT and the Forum. I am sure some Scots and Irish Gaelic speakers will be along to help you with your request. |

I found my favourite version of the song (only ever heard the English version up till last year, which does the song no justice whatsoever!) on the Scottish Women/Boireannach Albannach CD, sung by various wonderful singers including Margaret Bennett, Ishbel MacAskill, Elspeth Cowie and others. Maybe I should just sit down with a pen and the pause button :) but if I'm going to sing the song in the future I want to get it right. I speak a little Irish but I'm drawn to Scots Gaelic and wouldn't want to wade in with a little knowledge and spoil it. These are the lyrics Ishbel MacAskill sings: 'S iomadh oidhche fhliuch is thioram Sìde nan seachd sian Gheibheadh Griogal dhomhsa creagan Ris an gabhainn dìon (Obhan, obhan, obhan iri Obhan iri o Obhan, obhan, obhan iri 'S mòr mo mhulad, 's mòr) Dhìrich mi dhan t-seòmar mullaich 'S theirinn mi 'n taigh làir 'S cha d'fhuair mise Griogal cridhe Na shuidhe mun chlàr Eudail mhòir de shluagh an domhain Dhòirt iad d'fuil an-dè 'S chuir iad do cheann air stob daraich Tacan beag bho d' chrè B'annsa bhith le Griogal cridhe Teàrnadh chruidh le gleann Na le Baran mòr na Dalach 'S sìoda geal mu'm cheann Chan eil ùbhlan idir agam 'S ùbhlan uile aig càch Sann tha m'ubhal cùbhraidh, caineil 'S cùl a chinn ri làr Nuair bhios mnathan òg' a' bhaile Nochd nan cadal sèimh Sann bhios mis' air bruaich do lice Bualadh mo dha làimh Regards, Ang |
