excerpted from WIKIPEDIA article: " Chì mi na mòrbheanna (commonly known in English as The Mist Covered Mountains of Home) is a Scottish Gaelic song that was written in 1856 by Highlander John Cameron (Iain Camshroin), a native of Ballachulish and known locally in the Gaelic fashion as Iain Rob and Iain Òg Ruaidh. The song is a longing for home and, with its wistful, calming melody and traditional ballad rhythms, is often used as a lullaby."

I believe the language is Scottish Gaelic

Thanks. Its widely performed on Cape Breton as a lullaby, thus this song';s inclusion on a CD dedicated to world lullabys.
Will pin data on the song's origin.
