Leis an Lurgainn - Rankin Family

Gaelic is a lovely language, at least when sung like this. I urge you to buy these people's music. They are a national treasure.

The Rankins are the pride of all Cape Bretoners. We somehow feel a part of every word they sing. They gave us a gift that will last forever.

I've loved the Rankin Family since first hearing them when I lived in Canada over 20 years ago. Still favorites today.

Love this song. Beautiful harmony, beautiful language. I have to admit when I first saw the album cover I though the girl in the middle had a big ole Roseanne Roseannadanna Fro.... LOL

Leis a lurgainn o hi, leis a chalpa gun fheol, am beul an anamich a hi, s 'eudar falbh leis na seoid . . . beautiful melody and rhythm.

Great family and harmony, especially lovely when sung in the native language, may God Bless.

Leis An Lurgainn (Boat Song)
Written by a MacInnes from Fort William after returning
home safely from a stormy voyage to Ireland on his ship,
The Lurgainn.
Séist:
Leis an Lurgainn o hi
Leis an Lurgainn o ho
Beul an anamoich o hi
'S fheudar faibh le 'cuid seol
An Cuan Eirinn o hi
Muir ag e/irigh o ho
Cha bu le/ir dhuinn o hi
Ni fo 'n ghre/in ach na neoil
Séist
Seachad Ile o hi
'M beul na h-oidhche o ho
Las sinn coinnlean o hi
'S chuir sinn combaist air doigh
Séist
Seachad Aros o hi
Bha i gahaidh o ho
'N fhairge laidir o hi
Suas gu bar a' chroinn-sgoid
Séist
Hi ho hi ho
Hi ho hi ho
Séist

[@8eight104]

I play in a slamming brutal death metal band and I tour as a professional musician. It frustrated me that I can't find the full album anywhere.

[@gomackay]

Enchanted!

This is actually Christy Campbells Melody on their album North Country.

[@seachelles8327]
