There are far more attractive places If you gave it your heart so totally Why then did you leave it? Place of my heart here will I go https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0247/5213/files/COMD1006_Christine_Primrose_Aite_Mo_Ghaoil.pdf?1464908977697734956 |

08 Jun 21 - 09:49 PM (#4109416) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Carlabhagh From: Felipa thanks some spelling corrections verse 1 mo chride should be mo chridhe (my heart) gahbail = gabhail last verse "do chridhe" (your heart) I think "monadh" (moor) should be lenited with the prepositon "thar", but I find examples of both "thar mhonadh" ("mh" pronounced like an English "v") and "thar monadh". Perhaps it depends on the speaker and the geographical location (dialect). Thar monadh is indeed the spelling on Christine Primrose's album cover. Christine Primrose herself is originally from Carlabhagh / Carloway, Lewis. I think she is still living in Skye. Còisir Ghàidhlig Chàrlabhaigh has produced a useful video with lyrics subtitled. as sung by Donald MacRae with some different words, but the last line of each verse is the same and so is the next to last verse in both the Primrose and MacRae renditions. |

I expect he is the same Calum MacLeòid who wrote An Till Mise Chaoidh video of Christine Primrose singing: Sabhal Mòr Ostaig - ‘Àite Mo Ghaoil’ | Facebook https://www.facebook.com/sabhalmorostaig/videos/545033536405051 Christine Primrose leis an òran ‘Àite Mo Ghaoil’ le Rob Calum MacLeòid às na Gearranan, Eilean Leòdhais |
