From the Scots Gaelic point of view, I remember Julie Fowlis saying of the renowned English soprano, Lesley Garret that she 'understood the music.' So much music from Ireland and North-West Scotland is stunning and the lyrics devastating (I use celticlyricscorner). I have a form of dyslexia which makes learning a language after 10 years old almost almost impossible. DO you think I'm going to deprive myself of singing and otherwise appreciating Gaelic songs? Are you kidding?
