04 Mar 99 - 08:18 AM (#61240) Subject: Words to Ailein Duinn, or Dark Alan From: Mary Fitzgerald I'd like the words to Ailein Duinn, or Dark Alan, preferably in a good English translation, but I'd be happy to have the Gaelic as well. Karen Matheson of Capercaillie sings it on the Rob Roy sound track. |

The DT includes a little background information. The thread Alison points to contains a translation(but not a singable one), bibliographic (etc) info and a link to both the DT lyrics and Capercaillie site. |

This CD will be heard all over the world, and I've even heard that Tiesto has been using this track as an opening for his DJ sets! Gaelic lives on! Gordon |

Gaelic songs are full of them. |

16 Dec 05 - 06:57 AM (#1628633) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ailein Duinn / Dark Alan From: GUEST,Philippa I think that should be "Fhuair iad ann an siod iad, an dithis aca ri taobha a chéile" and that it means "They found them over there, the two of them side by side". You don't give any context or say where this line is from. Are you learning Gàidhlig? There are some Scottish Gaelic forums on the internet where you may be able to get more informed response to your query. |

For a week, I will have it at my web-site |
