Noble Maiden Fair - Lyrics onscreen!

- A Mhaighdean Bhan Uasal (Noble Maiden Fair), from the movie 'Brave'. I have taken the liberty of correcting the lyrics I found online. I don't know much Gaelic, but I did some research, tidied up what I could of some spelling errors and added the correct accents on the letters.
Rough pronunciation:
(based on my own Canadian English accent, which is almost identical to a 'typical' American accent)
A naoidhean bhig
Eh noy-yen veek,
cluinn mo ghuth
clooin moe hooth (the singers draw ghuth out into two syllables, 'hoo-ooth', to fit the rhythm)
Mise ri d' thaobh,
Mee-shuh ree, deh-heuv (for the vowel sound of thaobh, try saying "oo" while keeping your mouth stretched out as if you're saying "ah". It's not a hard sound to make, but there's no exact equivalent in English)
o mhaighdean bhan
Oh vai-ten vahn
Ar rìbhinn òig
Arr ree-veen yoh-ik (the R is pronounced slightly rolled, the tongue tip briefly touches the roof of the mouth)
Fàs as faic
Fahs ahs faik
Do thir, dìleas fhéin
Doe heer, jee-les fane
A ghrian a' s ghealaich
Eh hree-ann ah seh yell-aich (slightly rolled R)(the end consonant of ghelaich is like the end of Scottish 'loch')
Stiùir sinn
Shtoor sheen
Gu uair are cliù
Goo oo-air are clee-oo
's ar glòire
Sar glaw-ruh (slightly rolled R)
Naoidhean bhig
Noy-yen veek
Ar rìbhinn òig
Are ree-veen yoh-ik (slightly rolled R)
Mhaighdean uasal bhan
Vai-ten wah-sall vahn
ten million times better than "Let it Go", ten million times less known...
AGREED
Preach
Amber Rebecca I feel the same way; it’s sad 😢
What about the piano guys version
Amber Rebecca yes absolutely
* note self * lullaby for my future children
kittylove1122 Same here... im going to definitely tell my future children of their Scottish roots...
Yes fren!
kittylove1122 yesss!!!
Dezi Ferguson as long as you keep listening to it, you'll learn it. I had to learn two Nors songs for a production and I learned it by listening to it while reading along a couple of times.
kittylove1122 XD my exact thoughts when listening to this
I am a scottish girl and I am so glad I was able to pick this up and learn to sing it by heart. Its a shame that many schools dont teach our language and I have done my best to learn bits and pieces. I wish I was fluent in my country's native language.
Red Wolf I feel you. ;__;
Same here :) My Mum and me vow to learn it someday :)
Aileen Duin the theme song of my the film my Mum acted in
Red Wolf TO MY ETERNAL SHAME THIS SHOULD BE MY FIRST LANGUAGE BUT I CAN ONLY SPEAK IT POORLY SO MUCH WE HAVE LET GO THAT WE NEED TO REGAIN.INCIDENTALLY I AM THE PRODUCT OF TWO NATIONS HIGHLAND SCOTS AND BRULE LAKOTAH MY NAME WITH THEM IS SHUNKAHASKA WHICH MEANS WHITE OR GHOST WOLF
Red Wolf it does seem a shame, it sounds like a very awesome and beautiful language but that is what happens... my country's native language is a mystery what we know is that it was completely erased by the Romans and substituted by latin
me too red wolf can speak a little gaihead and a little lacotah both my peoples tongues but not as fluent as i should be in either
Translation (according to Disney Wiki):
Little baby, hear my voice
I'm beside you, O maiden fair
Our young Lady, grow and see
Your land, your own faithful land
Sun and moon, guide us
To the hour of our glory and honour
Little baby, our young Lady
Noble maiden fair
sampea CAML omg so amazing
There are several translations, one talks about riding a virgin white horse
sampea CAML pretty accurate, and the song of course is beautiful.
Awwwww, that’s adorable
I'm Irish, and I absolutely love Noble Maiden Fair. I can most certainly speak Gaelic. It's in my blood.
same fam both alvin the dinosaur and loony Finnigan125
Alvin The Dinosaurman Ach tá sé Gaeilge duinn 👌🍀😉
i’m scottish and i picked this up almost immediately :))
Same
Tá, go deimhin. Tá Gaeilge Agat!!!
Uff, Gaelic is one complicated language. Nothing is pronounced the way it looks XD
If you know the spelling system it's actually more consistent than English :P
It's not that complicated actually. You just have to be open to a different set of patterns. :) It's really consistent.
+xWHITExEAGLEx True that, English has all these rules but breaks all of them frequently. It makes it so confusing , it needs to stick to its own grammar rules.
Here are a couple of rules that will help you out a lot. Usually, any word where the second letter is H, the letter preceding it is silent unless the first letter is either B or M, in which case the first syllable sounds like a V.
Another letter combination to watch out for is GH. If a vowel follows it, the H is more emphasized and the G is almost but not quite silent, if a consonant follows it (such as L), the G is more emphasized.
roselover411 are ye sure that French is not harder
First this movie, now seeing the lyrics for the song... it's making me think of my mom...
DAMMIT WHO'S CHOPPING ONIONS IN HERE??
I am probably
+Alone and waiting Same
I know it's hella dusty in here you guys, what I'm not crying
I'm SCOTTISH and feel offended by all the lads and lasses that put a thumbs down. If you learn respect people will respect you YE BLEEDIN' BASTERDS.
I'm Scottish, and I'm offended you are offended. We're better than this. No?
@@ustinov9119 their joking
Truth Be told! Bro!!! Alba Go Braugh!!! 👏 👏
I hope I'm not insulting anyone by writing this, but would it be fair to say the transliteration looks something like this?
"É-nna-yann-vìhìc clay-mogü
Mish-reetth-hey-bì vaijan va-han,
Aree-vin-yög fas-às faikhth
Dhô here jeelas-fein,
Ich ranasay-yalach shtüru-shìnn
Gu-üwér-ar-cleu-sag-laharéh,
Na-yann vìhìc aree-vin-yög,
Maijann wasal vann."
No, actually this helps a lot, I've been trying to learn this, but it's hard by ear and not much easier even with the lyrics.. Thanks!
Happy to be of help! :)
Thanks for this! ♡
This actually helped a lot! Thanks, I really appreciate it!
Apologies, but "transliteration" is different from phonetics. This is 100%, most definitely, NOT "transliteration" of Scots Gaelic. Just for future reference...
Pixar never ceases to amaze me. The terms in Finding Nemo were actual Dentistry terms. The wood turner in the witches cabin is a well used wood working tool. But this song takes the cake.
It was made by Pixar in Gaelic.
You don't see this level of depth in Disney, hell, the messed up voodoo in
The Princess and Frog.
Ehm... Pixar studios is a part of Disney...
Well, yes, but so is Marvel. Pixar kind of does its own thing.
The old Disney that produced the politically correct junks of the last 90s' and 00s' have no class. The modern Disney with Tangled and Frozen are world class. The Runes and Old Norse in Frozen are all historically correct.
Also, the castle is based off like 8 actual castles in scotland
Who else is here because of Brave
Christina Ojeda I’m not sure if this is a joke or not but ok
Oh Gaelic, even now, after ten years of listening to you and fussing over your written form, reading you out loud still gives me a headache...
I love this song and I applaud your work in researching the accents and spelling. I know Scots Gaelic and, just for future reference, you have "fhéin" with a stràc gheur (also known as a síneadh fada in Irish Gaelic) whereas it is supposed to be "fhèin" with a stràc throm (or grave accent). Irish Gaelic uses the fada (acute) for accents and emphasis, and Scots Gaelic uses the grave accent. Although, there are very very few instances where Scots Gaelic uses the acute accent, the word "fhèin" is not one of them. But thank you for looking into trying to get the spelling and accents correct! :)
Many say Gaelic is Confusing and Odd, but this song proves it’s beauty and it’s complexity of emotion. Which is why I’m proud to be both an Irish and Scottish brat.
This song is simply beautiful, every time I listen to it I tear up and that is not a common thing with me.
I'm spaniard and I love gaelic and scotish culture.When I hear this song I feel a energy invade my body and transpor me to the pre-Roman age, to the natural life.And I also felt a connection between all countries that had a celtic culture.I know they had't the same customs exactly,but I feel that.Love from Spain,and love for every country.
Sorry for my english , we don't have a good education in languages.
Right after this song had ended while i was listening to it is when my mum walked in and told me my pup lacey had passed due to an unknown cause. I will never ever forget her, this is such a beautiful song and so many memories i have with it. R.I.P. Lacey 4.15.11-9.1.14 xx
Condolences to u and ur family. Prayers r sent to u and ur family.
Is there any way I can learn Gaelic Scottish? I wanna learn it so badly
i live in pakistan haha so i don't think you can tutor me :/ (unless you wanna tutor me online)
Try finding something on Roseta stone.
gaelic is not available on rosetta stone :(
I can't do it online for the very reason that I don't have a computer so I'm sorry.
its okay! :)

FYI, folks -- 'mh' and 'bh' letter combinations are pronounced 'v' anns a' Gaidhlig. That's not an error. Well done, Nantsingonyama!
It's because there's no "v" in the Gaelic alphabet.
What I want to do:
Memorize the song;
Go to the Highlands;
Sing it whole-heartedly as I forget everything around me and just cherish the rare serenity.
I'm going to sing this to my future children, because Gaelic is a dying language
OH MY GOD, IM NOT THE ONLY CANADIAN ON UA-cam!
Winnipeg in the house as well
Cape Breton up in here!(PS. For those who don't know that's in Nova Scotia ;D)
Quebec City salutes you
Loony Finnigan125 Scotland is better. (better luck next time Canada.)
I’m in America, i fucking hate it here and my dad did too
I always cry with this song ;-;
Me too😢🙍
I swear, if someone will do a mash-up of this song and "The Dancing and The Dreaming," I'm going to live happily.
Sib Audrey same it sounds just like it
Sib Audrey me to
B I T CH YES
I would forever be crying because of how beautiful and nostalgic the mash up would be.
Thank you! If you have the time, I would greatly appreciate specific feedback/suggestions (either in comments or PM, whichever you prefer)! I'm always looking to improve the quality of what information is provided with the videos. I am from the slightly Celtic region of Nova Scotia, so maybe a bit of that has rubbed off on me. :P
You mean Alba Nuadh. :D

Hope this helps!

Whoever the singer is she is not a native speaker of Gaelic...the child sounds like she is though.
Ian MacAskill well the child is Scottish, so Idk if she speaks Gaelic, but maybe. The older actress is British and I’m like 95% sure she doesn’t speak it
Nope. She doesnt. She is half-scottish woman :) Emma Thopmson is it.
So, that's the reason that "Naoidhean" was odd.
i love this song. In my country (Spain) in the north were celtics and my grandad's family were from this part and this song remember me a lullaby that my grandad used to sing... So beautiful...
Is that the Basque region?
yeah it is!!!
Yay, I know my language geography! I find it cool how that language is unrelated to anyother language spoken anywhere!!
I said "remembered", not "it's", ok? I was too little and I can't ask my grandad anything because he's dead.
Alba Pastor Fernández ....I don't understand what I said wrong? I was just saying that the Basque language is unrelated to any other language.
should i cry for listening this? Oh wait, i already did
Let's cry together ;-;
bora geral chorar
Feel u
Hey guys look. MY LAST NAME IS AT 1:03 "THAO"
I cried......cuz the first time i heard this, mum was away with some cousin from America to another part of the country i live in....and the song reminded all those times she was always there when i needed her and missed her. she did come back but (due to probably me being a huge baby or me being on my menstrual) i still cried inside.
Here they are, from the Disney wikia page for this song. When I compared the two, some things I realised are a simular.
Little baby, hear my voice
I'm beside you, O maiden fair
Our young Lady, grow and see
Your land, your own faithful land
Sun and moon, guide us
To the hour of our glory and honour
Little baby, our young Lady

Everytime I hear this song I think of Scotland from hetalia singing this to little England.
can I go anywhere without finding a fellow Hetalian
Wade Wilson
nope unless you get off earth
+Jalen Chow Me too
Yes, a thousand times yes
Hella yea
It's funny to see your translation/ sounding of my country's Gaelic language. You're very good for someone who is not from Scotland. I must congratulate you on that because it is a very difficult language to learn and even pronounce especially if you aren't from celtic regions. I noticed you put a lot of "v"s when it's actually pronounced with a "b" or "m" especially in the last line. I am very please with this though and I hope you pursue learning Gaelic :) 's math a fhuaras tu!
This music always calms me. Beautiful!
I live in the Highlands, so I can go outside and sing it for you if you do not get the chance!
I love this song! So calming and beautiful...and magical! Gaelic is a beautiful language!
This movie was sub-par for me, for Pixar standards. This song deserved so much better around it.
i love this so much,it brought tears in my eyes
Salut janiye
Mi vousate raviasant jani
when I put my little brother to sleep I sing this song to put him to sleep
Little baby, hear my voice
I'm beside you, O maiden fair
Our young Lady, grow and see
Your land, your own faithful land
Sun and moon, guide us
To the hour of our glory and honour
Little baby, our young Lady
Noble maiden fair
I love being both Scottish and Irish. I plan on singing this to my future daughter.
this wasnt hard to learn, i speak irish gaelic and it is very similar :)
Not bad for Gaelic scottisch
I'm going to sit in the corner and cry now.
minha musica favorita ;-;
Although i'm Irish not Scottish,I'm going to sing this to my beautiful future daughter,such a beautiful song
Little baby, hear my voice
I'm beside you, oh maiden fair

Emma Thompson is brilliant. I love your username, by the way.
Just when I thought Emma Thompson couldn't get any better...
I know how to sing this (I go to glé(gealic singing lessons)) and that is not how we were taught how to pronounce the words :-/ ?
OMG this song is so fucking emotional!
Actually the movement of celts in NW Europe wasn't a movement of people, the culture moved. As DNA of the british isles hasn't really changed since 6000BC. That does make sense, but these languages common ancestor spilt up into what would be the major language groups of Europe to India, by 2500BC, so any simularities that there are between the two groups is going to be very small indeed.
well, gaelic in all its many forms is one of the many celtic language.the celts were an were a people indiginous to all but western europe until the migrated that way. but before they did, they existed mainly in the central part of europe.very close to the germanic tribes in many case and around the same time period. so some of the words in all the celt tounges may very well be slighty german in manner,early german.
Thanks Nantsingonyama for the lyrics & pronunciations. I LOVE this song!
Im a filipino but I could feel the song even though it's scottish , this is my favorite song so far of all genres.. So soothing to the heart

This helps so much! Thank you for posting this!
My name is in this language... it was nice to stumble across it. It's kinda like a hug from your history.
When ever I watched the movie I kept hearing random words in the sfirst Ng,turns out it wasn't English XD but this is what it sounds like,don't be offended of something: fear not I am here,here with you,I'll hold your hand,I'll sing your song,I'll live in your heart,just have faith,I'm here,dream endlessly,you are my fellow,still so small,I'll hold you close,I love you,know that I will,live/be in your heart,we will be as one,know I am here,I'll stay with you,I wish for you in my arms,I'll live in your heart,just have faith,don't fear,dream endlessly,I am your fellow,still so small,I love you it's true,I love you,never be weak,I'll be in your heart,shine you are my sun.
This sounds weird and isn't what they are saying of course but it sounds like it and it's beautiful in its own way:)
i love this song even though im a young pilipino girl i sing this song sometimes :)
As an Irish Gaelic speaker I can understand most of the lyrics, Scottish Gaelic sounds beautiful. I love it
Iam the Brother nombre one a metida😊😊😊😊😊
Love this song, wish the pronunciation was more correct.
Thank you for the pronunciations in the description box. Very helpful!
Yeah Gaelic is hard, it was a pain to learn as a kid!
i think emma thompson did a great job singing this!
I wish I could fly
I’m a huge language nerd, so when I heard this beautiful song in the movie, I knew I had to find the lyrics
I’m Polish/German but Scottish music has a special place in my heart. I love it
Ok I dont know if this will help anyone but it helped me 😄🙏🏼:
Phonetic pronounciation:
"eh nuh-yahn veek, klooh-een mo ghoo-h
mih-sheh ree duh hoohv, oh vie-jen vahn
ar ree-veeny ahk, fas as faikh
duh heer, jee-les hain
eh ghree-ahn as eh yah-lakh, shtyoo-r sheen
goo oo-air ar kloo s ar gluh-r
nuh-yahn veek, ar ree-veeny ahk
vie-jen oo-ah-sal vahn"
Correct me if it's wrong at all 😊💪🏼🙏🏼😁✌🏼💗
The ancestral FEELS.
I was very fortunate. I was taught garlic at school. I know some frases but thats all
Id imagine a time where I would be a kid,ina corn patch,just looking,into what is beyond,listening to this song.......
Im just Scottish with an English accent.
@Gray13475 and Alex Ceolsige: Thank you for your responses, but I don't know IPA.
I've finally gotten a chance to upload it! Visit my channel for the video. :)
Hi Carol ! Um, you are asking for its English translation right, well here it is. I hope it helps... :D
English Translation of Noble Maiden Fair
Little baby, hear my voice
I'm beside you, O maiden fair

Does anyone know anything about the last name 'Murnain' i'm pretty sure it's gaellic but i don't know where to look information for it.
Thanks for that.
That's amazing! thx for putting the pronunciation, I've been in love with this song and Gaelic language for a while. how do we get in touch to discuss it?
I'm Scottish and I can't understand why we don't learn Gaelic. I just tried singing this song and it comes a lot more naturally to me than French or German or Spanish.
I wish I was fluent on Scottish
Unless you "have the Gaelic" how could you know if they were spelling errors and not just a different form of the word required by lenition or a case change?
That's what this song is! I've loved it since I saw the movie but have never been able to figure out what it's called! Thank you for posting!
Hey, wasn't it you that also had a lyric video for another gaelic song from Brave? Did it get taken down? I can't find it.
It's like the people that created all the Gaelic languages just wanted a secret language the no one would ever crack like "ha even if they start to piece together the spoken half, the written language will drove them fucking crazy."
Damn I am from Germany and I want to lern it so much. It is so beautiful. Sounds like the tongue of fairies and other mystical creatures
I’m actually really annoys and upset me that I can’t speak my own native language I went to an all Gaelic school until primary 3 but had to leave and I can’t remember much of it I really don’t want it to die out
I finally mastered this song😆
England can take the land, liberty, and reason to be Scottish but they cant take the spirit that still holds within such strong beauty.
This is so beautiful! Does anyone have a link to this song for the alto sax, piano, or harmonica sheet music? Thank you!
Tapadh leibh, 's toigh leam òran gu mòr!
Hermosooo! Aquí una mexicana 🤚🏻
here are the lyrics, provided by disney for the soundtrack
little baby, hear my voice

your land your own faithful land

to the hour of our glory and honour
little baby, our young lady
noble maiden fair
I'll see what I can do. I've got a bit of a video "backlog" first, I've got at least two I want to finish first before I start something else.
Any tips for a non-speaker of Gaelic trying to learn how to pronounce the words on this song?
Is there any way you could do the same thing with Tha Mo Ghaol Air Aird A' Chuain? I've been looking everywhere and I can't find anything that helps ..
Your version taught me how to sing the song
What I did was come up with silly misheard lyrics in english yhat sound very much like the words used here. No doubt my pronunciation is off but not by much and I now know the song progression
The 'bvan' 'Gloire' 'mhaighdean'* I can link, but I wouldn't be able to get a gist of every line in this, without the Trans
*sounds like 'maedchen' which is German for girl.
@cutejessieboo321 not me:) i found this very easy to sing. im scottish more than anything. is this scotts language or gaelic? its hard to tell. they sound similare
I taught the kids I babysit this song so they can sing it with me before I put them down to sleep
