Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bid clann uilidh From: Suegorgeous Date: 06 Sep 08 - 11:24 PM Here are the lyrics plus the translation (I attempt to sing it now n then!) Bidh Clann Ulaidh Luaidh sa lurain Bidh Clann Ulaidh Air do bhanais Bidh Clann Ulaidh Luaidh sa lurain Deanamh an dans' Air do bhanais. Bidh clann a righ Bidh clann a righ Bidh clann a righ Air do bhanais Bidh clann a righ Seinnear a phiob Olar a fion Air do bhanais. Bidh Clann Amhlaidh Nam feachd greannmhor Bidh Clann Amhlaidh Air do bhanais Bidh Clann Amhlaidh Nam feachd greannmhor Deanamh an dans' Air do bhanais. Bidh Clann Choinnich Nam feachd soilleir Bidh Clann Choinnich Air do bhanais Bidh Clann Choinnich Nam feachd soilleir Deanamh an dans' Air do bhanais. Translation: The clans of Ulster My darling one, my precious The clans of Ulster Will be at your wedding The clans of Ulster My darling one, my precious Will be dancing at your wedding. The family of the king The family of the king The family of the king Will be at your wedding Pipes will be played Wine will be drunk At your wedding. The MacAulay Clan With the lively followers Will…etc The MacKenzie Clan With the bright followers Will…etc |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bid clann uilidh From: GUEST,Morag Date: 25 Sep 08 - 06:04 PM Thanks, Sue - I've now moved on to trying to get Mairi Bhan Og under my belt, to sing at my nephew's wedding in November (as well as a wee blast of Bidh Clann Ulaidh!). I have the lyrics to the verses sung by Alyth McCormack on The Captain's Collection, but the English version of the song that I've found on other threads doesn't seem to be a very literal translation. Anybody able to help me make more sense of what I'm singing? |
