Subject: Mo Shuil A'd Dheidh:Pronunciation From: Mbo Date: 03 Sep 99 - 08:43 AM I've been singing the Scots Gaelic song "Mo Shuil A'd Dheidh" for a few months now, and I'm afraid I'm horribly butchering the Gaelic. Can anyone tell me how pronounce the lyrics (or at least the chorus)? Thanks! |

Cha leir dhomh am bealach le sileadh nan deur. I can't recall the translation of "Cha leir dhomh am bealach" right now, and my dictionary is at home. The "le sileadh nan deur" is literally, "with a torrent of tears". The first part of that line has something to do with a negative - "Not *something* to me" is the literal translation of the phrase. |
