12 years later and I found this song. God it's good. I don't understand the language but it doesnt' seem to matter, I can hear the lyrics and image what they they are singing about. Love it. More stuff like this!
For me, this song is my answer to the question in the Colbert Questionnaire "If you could listen to only one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?", or something to that effect. Latha Math by Mànran. It describes a beautiful day on the Isle of Lewis. The boys catching salmon, the old men cutting peat, the smell of the sea coming in through the window, and the quiet and calm of the coming night. It makes me want to be there to experience it for myself. Tha e math a bhith beò. It is good to be alive.

@@SiameseCats4ever Matteo. Have a look at the BBC Port-Galicia on here at UA-cam it's Scottish and Irish musicians and singers visiting Galicia to play with Galician and Asturian singers and musicians et al. They play music together from all the regions .Wonderful to watch and listen to the different strands of our shared Celtic culture playing the music of our people.
I grew up speaking Gealic, although I unfortunately lost a lot of my knowledge after my school shut down, even though it is coming back now, and went to see their concert when I was around four or five in Glasgow. This was my brother and I's favourite song. Love it.
Wow!! Amazing, wonderful music. Come to America! We have a great venue in Northern Wisconsin. The "Big Top" in Bayfield Wisconsin. Thanks and greetings from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, USA
+Moira Mo Know what you mean Moira. I miss Mallaig-- my home. Ewen Henderson, the fiddler, is originally from Mallaig and his mam and I played in a band there back in the 80s.
Yup, they were really GREAT at CC Glasgow, pity Norrie was ill. The audience reception was great, and I listened to 4 days (that's all I could afford) of mind-bendingly good music, from free 2pm sessions, to concerts, to 3am late sessions. Get to CC 2014 if you can.
I am just learning the language...and i am glad i wondered if latha math was good day .... i found this lol and if i wanna be a smart ass in gaelic i can hahaha shouting llama 😅and idk why the language makes me so happy... poetic funny every english person should have to pick it up just to learn how upside down they did english
was the cover to your latest album released in Jan 2017 inspired by those lights in the intro to this video?? You have a great sound guys, great stuff. Probably see you at a festival sometime I play with The Hut People

@kohrsthomas Because the majority of people in UK are English and to them the UK is England. Its a case of sod the Welsh, Scottish and Irish. Britain has always meant England. You stand no chance of anything else. Manran did well to get into the charts. Maybe we need a Celtic charts?
Thachair mi ris an òran seo timcheall air 5 bliadhnaichean air ais fhad 's a bha mise agus luchd-ionnsachaidh na Gàidhlig à oilthighean na Galltachd eile ann an Steòrnabhagh airson sgoil-shamhraidh. Dh'èist caraid agus mise ris gach latha fhad 's a bha sinn ann an Leòdhas agus seachdainean às dèidh sin. Bha mi air ais air an eilean an t-seachdain seo chaidh 's dh'èist mi ris a-rithist. Abair òran sònraichte is àite air leth bòidheach
It is a very good song and fantastic to see new flag-bearers of Scots Gael. However do consider that your music can be further exported if we understood your lyrics by simply providing a translation. I found them on sruthnamoile.tubmlr.com: Do remember that foreigners, including myself from Malta, might also want to savour your talent and spread the good news around. Well done and good luck in the U.S. concerts. Saħħiet u Sliem.
@ESCDylan i disagree, i think the UK lack in the Eurovision 9 times out of 10 due to Political Reasons.. I think if Politics did not rule the Eurovision i think manran could compete

I want to learn this song from them studying Scottish Gaelic. it means so much to me will not give up till I can pronounce all.
So glad to see and hear resurgence of Gaelic Language
I'm waiting for movies to get dubbed and made in it.
Slàinte!
As a South American whose grand father was originally from Galicia in the North of Spain, I approve this message xD
Me too Barb I want to learn this song and learn Gaelic. love the language.

Taking Gaelic folk music forward & further - brilliant lads! SEE YOU AT CELTIC CONNECTIONS JAN 2013!
I saw Norrie et al perform , years ago , in Haverhill NH. I now live quite close to where he performed . Is that cool, or what?
I love this band because their music is awesome.
First time hearing this band, they are fantastic!!!!!
Greetings from the Santa Cruz Mountains in California!! Please stop by some time! We'd love to have you! Love your music!
Love it!! you are amazing, guys! greetings from Chile
I am looking forward to seeing Manran at Milwaukee Irish Fest this summer!
Congrats on making it to No. 6 on the UK Indie Singles chart.

Moira Mo MUM WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!??? 😆 Tha an oran sea màth nàch eil?
Really hits home for me too. Actually pretty closely related to Ewen, and I've got a chunk of Family in Lewis as well. Really homely songs.
Latha math air an eileann meaning Great day on the island/isle (the first line of the chorus or séist) that being of course Lewis or Leòdhais

@Tordroth I hadn't heard of them until saw them perform there, I was totally blown away, awesome performance.
Their playing in Aberdeen on Tuesday the 29th of February looking forward to it.
Larha math air an eilean eilean leodhas mo ghraidh lath math air an eilean dhachaidh mo smuantinn gu brath!! i

Oh how beautiful that sounds. I hope so much they're playing while I'm in scotland..!
Awesome!
This was written about the Carloway up at scotland, its really cool!
these guys are way too good for eurovision.
Brilliant band and defo deserve to be up with runrig for sure this weekend .
Great song and great vocals.
That would have been SOMETHING for the Eurovision Song Contest, they would have MADE IT with this tune.
Why does ALBA not attend there??
Great TUNE
because sadly scotland voted no
This or _Thugainn_ would have been brilliant!
You're GREAT, lads! Tapadh leibh!
Mànran were fantastic at party on the moor!
I'd like a lot. You're great!. Congratulations!
I must get some of your music, I love it - Great Job Lads. From the middle of the Mitten in Michigan, USA

EPIC! has anyone uploaded the album version of "The Test"?
Guan Yersel boys ahll shed a few tears aboot hame fir this yin
my cousin is the lead singer of this band
Poor Norrie looks really cold! Great song.
It makes me so sad that I was born and brought up in Scotland, studied 3 foreign languages and cannot understand my native language, Gaelic!
No time like the present to learn. :)
I'm similar but I have just completed one year on Duolingo. It's difficult but I see progress. Go for it, girl
Not the native language of ALL Scots.
Duo lingo has it ❤❤❤
I guess you are right!
Tha Sibh uabhasach math!
'S e heavy choon a th'ann an seo :'D
No I think it would do great - reminds me of 'My lovely horse' from Father Ted. Go for it !!!!
An mbeidh siad ar cuairt in Éirinn i mbliana. Beomhar agus galanta.
@ESCDylan Also, love the song. :)
oh i am:D
i know all those guys woop woop
@merchyllyn They reached #6 in the Scottish charts. :)
Great music, I heard this on Mark Radcliffe (Radio 2) Today. Is there an english translation of the lyrics anywhere?
gavva2010 Possibly, but just like opera, it is better not knowing, methinks.
was the cover to your latest album released in Jan 2017 inspired by those lights in the intro to this video??
You have a great sound guys, great stuff. Probably see you at a festival sometime I play with The Hut People

Latha Math air an Eilean
Chorus
Latha math air an Eilean
Eilean Leòdhais mo Ghràidh
Latha math air an Eilean
Dachaigh mo smuaintean gu bràth
Verse 1
Ag èirigh tràth anns a' mhadainn
A' ghrian a' deàrrsadh sìos
Tha àile na mara a' tighinn tron uinneig
Tha h-uile duin' an àirde
Verse 2
Tha an abhainn làn le pailteas uisge
Tha am bradan a' tighinn a-rithist
Tha na balaich bheaga shios air an drochaid
Feuch an glac iad aon no dhà
Verse 3
Tha an t-Earrach ann 's na làithean fada
Tha na h-uain a' ruith mun cuairt
Tha na bodaich a-muigh a' buain na mònach
Tha an t-àm sin air tighinn a-rithist
Verse 4
Tha a' ghealach shuas 's a' ghrian na cadal
Tha an oidhche nis air tighinn
Tha e sàmhach is ciùin tron an Eilean
Tha e math a bhith beò
Tha e math a bhith beò
Good day on the isle aye haha
No se que dice pero me gusta xD

I think he meant the lyrics not the song itself
