Sorry for the multi-posts, I can't find an 'edit' function.


This review says: THIOCFADH LEAT FANACHT. This is a song encouraging young people to travel the world but to come back to their homeland again sung in Gaelic. A traditional song with traditional music. Lovely and lilting wistful sounds.



This super-duper Gaelic lyrics site says "no lyrics available".

Hmmm.

The fans on this http://www.capercaillie.co.uk/fans/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1444&highlight=&sid=67a1957c497773de58ec453c6486cf88 were looking for it back in 2002, but don't seem to have found it.



This review in Italian (I think) appears to quote part of the song as:

hiocfadh leat fanacht o Tighinn air a'mhuir am fear a phosas mi.

This is Scots Gaedhlig, rather than Irish, and from my rusty Irish I can say that it means "Would you come and stay from the country beyond the sea, man I married?"

I'd suggest throwing up another quote on that capercaillie.co.uk site, and maybe if you're not shy also writing to the band. Sorry I can't help more.
