Lyrics:
the language is Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic)
Là dhomh 's mi 'm beinn a' cheathaich
(One day when I was on the misty mountain)
Sèist: Chorus (after each verse):
Far al a leò ro ho bhi ò
Hoireann is ò ho rò bhi o ho
Hi rì ho ro ho bha ò hug ò ro
'S ann agam 's a bha 'n sealladh
(I saw a wonderful sight)
Gun deach bàta Chloinn Nìll seachad
(The Clan MacNeill's ship passed by)
Mach bho dhùthaich MhicGill-Eathain
(Away from MacLean country)
Steach gu Cìosamul an aighir
(Towards joyful Kisimul)
Far am faight' a' chuirm ri gabhail
(Where the feasting takes place)
Fìon 'ga òl oidhche gu latha
(Drinking wine from night to day)
Pìobaireachd nam feadan àrd' laghach
(The piping of the tall, lovely drones)
Clàrsach bhinn ga gleusadh mar ris
(The sweet harp being tuned alongside)
Sìoda donn ga chur air na mnathan
(Russet silk being worn by the ladies)
Gill'Eòghanain mòr an gaisgeach
(Gilleonan, the great hero)
Ruairi òg an t-oighre maiseach
(Young Rory, the handsome heir)
Translation: One day when I was on the misty mountain/I saw a wonderful sight/The Clan MacNeill's ship passed by/Away from MacLean country/Towards joyful Kisimul/Where the feasting takes place/Drinking wine from night to day/The piping of the high, gentle chanter/The sweet harp being tuned alongside/Russet silk being worn by the ladies/Gilleonan, the great hero / Young Rory, the handsome heir
It amazes me how music transcends language. You don't need to understand the lyrics in a song for it to elicit an emotional response
I speak Irish Gaelic tryin to learn the scot dialect, I think this song is beautiful, cheers from Eire, I love you scots
The refrain is just nonsense words, but the verses are:
Là dhomh 's mi 'm beinn a' cheathaich/'S ann agam 's a bha 'n sealladh/Gun deach bàta Chloinn Nìll seachad/Mach bho dhùthaich MhicGill-Eathain/Steach gu Cìosamul an aighir/Far am faight' a' chuirm ri gabhail/Fìon 'ga òl oidhche gu latha/Pìobaireachd nam feadan àrd' laghach/Clàrsach bhinn ga gleusadh mar ris/Sìoda donn ga chur air na mnathan/Gill'Eòghanain mòr an gaisgeach/Ruairi òg an t-oighre maiseach
The song goes one line of verse, to three lines of refrain, which goes: Far al a leò ro ho bhi ò/Hoireann is ò ho rò bhi o ho/Hi rì ho ro ho bha ò hug ò ro
As a kid my dad would play these songs to me and my little siblings. My name is Rory, so either he or my mom or me would sing it as "Rory-O." (I honestly don't remember who it was.) We always loved listening to our "Irish music" and my Dad was very interested in Gaelic culture. I had forgotten all about Old Blind Dogs and hearing this for the first time in years brought tears to my eyes.
Time to learn gaelic and embrace my Irish and Scottish heritage. I hope to travel to them both one day
the paradise of gaelic music.
I agree!
Beautiful. The music paints a picture even though I don't understand the words.
Thank you Anna :-) been listening to OBD for around 25 yrs now...Happy to find them on UA-cam
One of the best bands ever!
Such great stuff. Thanks.
Ah Just Wonderfull Love Em.
How beautiful is that??!!!
Hah... Well, what do you know? I now have a new favorite band/song. Thanks a million for the upload!
Don't speak Gaelic but it sounds lovely.
This is a great song! Thanks for uploading it.
Only about a 500 word difference between Irish and Scottish. Irish, Scottish and Manx are all Gaelic, same base. Someone who speaks Irish can communicate with someone who speaks Scottish.
Sorry, I can't understand some Scottish people when they speak English
Good one!!!
They both have Celtic origins, at their bases, they have very similar languages. Although, differences being Gaelic (Gah-Leck) is Scottish, while Gaelic (Gay-Leck) is Irish.
are they considered different dialects or totally different languages?
It's not called "scottish", it's called Scots Gaelic. And how do you know how different it is from Irish, if you don't even know what it's called?
Great song and tumbs up if you heard skipinnish our been in scotland and heard live band of them there realy great and want to bring back gealic/celtic songs back,

@anovelgirl My only question is, where can I get the album for these guys?
NORTE Y QUE.
The call & response has a rythm of a waulking song. Is it?
yep. of course.
Hey. How similar are the dialects?
@Zeneternity i live in virginia and cannot find this station, I NEED MORE CELTIC MUSIC, please help.
Wolfstone- Celtic Rock band from Scotland. If you like Rock and Scottish Folk, you'll love them
some nasty finger scrape going on. shame, pretty tune otherwise.
gedq I like the finger scrape. I think it gives the song a more personal feel and a little more character
