hi,

Yes it is a wonderful song.. the reason why I bought the Celtic Voices women of song CD... heard it as background in a shop and HAD to have it......

(and yes send me emails or phone numbers and I'll mediaring it to you....)

all it says on the CD cover is that it is a traditional Hebridean chant...... I just assumed it was like a waulking song (songs that are used to establish a rhythm while working... very popular in Scotland)... although it would have to be for slow heavy work...

All they seem to be saying is

Yundah,yundo,Yundah, ol-dah,
Yundah,yundo,Yundah, ol-dah,
ee-yo-nan-diuh, ee-yo-nan-diuh
ee-yo-nan-diuh, ol-dah

and then they put the english lyrics of the song over the top..... (I assume you have the english ones? or do you need them?)

I have no idea if it means anything in gaelic, (the CD quotes the source for the chant as Frankie Armstrong/ Joan Mills).
