Can anyone help me with the lyrics of a Scottish Gàidhlig song by Donnie MacLeod called “Duan ‘s an tSeann Nòs”?
It’s from his album “Farewell My Love” from the late 1980s and it’s a contemporary song, so the lyrics don’t turn up in traditional song collections. I just love the way it sounds and would give anything to have the lyrics, but although I learned Irish in many years ago, I just don’t have the necessary proficiency in Scottish Gàidhlig.
I think the first line is something like “seinn mi òrainn an duan ‘s an t-seann nòs.” If anyone can give me the rest of it I would be so, so grateful. The song (without lyrics) is up on YouTube and Spotify and other services online, so quite easy to find.
