yes, Runrig fan, gille is a spelling error (gille is a lad or a servant, gile means bright). There's nothing wrong with my writing eala as that is what eal' is an abbreviation of "eala" (swan), and in this case n'an is an abbreviation of "na an", "than the". In both cases the vowel would not be spoken twice, hence the abbreviation. But I would say my only real error -and it is quite bad - is where I wrote "gille" instead of "gile".

And please do say something besides just giving a url which might be for anything - https://youtu.be/JVG2o9lrxOI is another recording of "Dance to your Shadow". I know this is a strange thread about a few different songs with similar Air Fàillirinn Iù choruses.
