Subject: RE: Any October Songs?
versions of a love song in Scottish Gaelic, THA MO RÚN AIR A’ GHILLE refer to Oídhche Shamhna, which is Hallowe'en night. https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=171787 Oidhche Shamhna ghabhas mi òran, Nam b’aite leam dhèanainn òran; ‘S truagh a Righ nach mi bha pòsd’ Aig òigear a’ chùil dualaich. (I’d sing my song on Halloween; If I could I would compose one; It’s a pity that I am not married To the youth with the curly hair.) or, as sung by Mary Jane Lamond https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8U3OYYgWnYI : Oidhche Shamhna dhomh 's mi m'ònar Smaointich mi gun dianainn òran 'S truagh a Rìgh nach mi bha pòsd' Ri òigear a' chùil dualaich (Alone on Halloween night I thought I would compose a song It's a pity I wasn't married To the yout2h with the curly hair) Anna Murray https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wzCYz3OVx0 sings instead of a summer night; it would be easy to sing "Oidhche Shamhna" instead of "oidhche shamhraidh"! Oidhche shamhraidh dhomh 's mi'm ònar Air mo ghaol sa ni mì òran 'S truagh a rìgh, nach robh mi pòsd Aig òigear a' chùil dualaich (Alone on a summer night I will make a song about my love It's a pity I wasn't married to the youth with the curly hair)
