a beautiful scottish sang.

If you see this song written English, you will see that it was written by a young woman, watching for her lover's boat to return to her island in the Hebrides, and wondering if ever they would get married. In fact they did eventually marry, so she needn't have worried. However, she wrote us a beautiful song that has enthralled millions of people over the years, and will continue to do so.

So Beautiful ☘️☘️☘️

Hauntingly beautiful! My grandfather came from the Isle of Harris and Gaelic was his first language. Sadly he died in 1977 when I was little so I don’t remember much about him but I like to think his languages skills were perhaps passed onto me (German, French, Spanish etc) but have to admit that Gaelic pronunciation looks alien to me but I’d love to learn it! ❤

Takes me back to Scotland. Every time.

I too fear a bath sometimes in the winter

My heart brought me here.

The name Alison was broadcasted by a stupid Italian television program.

Don’t tell your age I hitting you soon … what happened I do own a jewelry store .. no one is asking me Irish Cladaah rings anymore../ are Irish are loosing it … ???

To add, doesn't the song- even without understanding the lyrics- somehow perfectly capture the emotions of first love?

My first love was an Irish traveller fisherman. I met him in the mental health service- in a carehome when I was suffering from terrible panic attacks, agoraphobia and anxiety (years later diagnosed as cptsd). He himself has or had terrible schizophrenia, even worse than most people I know who have it. He was in a period of wellness. We started 'courting'- as someone at the time described it. Then he relapsed. I waited for year and even when I couldn't see him, we would call eachother when it was allowed. He was a forensic patient and the head of the forensic team was an awful man who I and many people had problems with. He did awful things to me through slander and I lost my place in the care home and even though he had to apologise in the end when I was proved innocent the lies followed me for years. I wasn't even a forensic patient myself- just an ordinary patient- but that care home mixed everyone together. Even sex offenders with young women like myself at the time- and yet when one touched me inappropriately the head of the forensic team turned my " can you ask him not to do that- I still want to be his friend" into a 'false-false' allegation of rape and I was put on trial, as so to speak. I was causing trouble for them by speaking up over the treatment of patients who were too doped up on antipsychotics. Almost 15 years ago... it was a different time. My first love caught wind of the lies and didn't want anything to do with me. The truth must have caught up with him years later when he was happy to speak to me- although he was shell of his former self- what with the medication he was on as well as his terrible psychosis (an illness his small community may have inherited though a relative of the Crays, if rumours are to be believed). A little while later he didn't remember my name although he did remember, if my fiance at the time (didn't end well either. Heroin and crack. Awful substances) is to be believed- that I was "a very pretty girl". I'm grateful for my current partner, who is tackling his drinking and personality disorder and has not been violent to anyone for a while now. I am grateful for my best friend- who is very weak with his exhausting voices and long corvid. I wish I could make up for all the times I wasn't grateful and sorrow took me. An npc from the Witcher in Novigrad says "nothing hurts so much as life"... I hope, I wish by some miracle my first love has been able to recover to the extent that he can live a life that's full. Although I'll reserve my first wish for the health and happiness for my best friend, who I am scared will leave us soon, and my second for my current partner. After that I'd hope that I myself could come to terms with my past, my childhood, and live in good health.

I love this group. My wife and I saw them perform at the Drain, Oregon library. During half time they would go to the back where we bought their CDs and they even autograph them. They were still high school kids but their music was so great. Lovely memories of them

Magic Songs - I love it.☺

Could you share the name of the second tune?

I have no idea what she's singing about but as Morgan Freeman says in Shawshank redemption ITS SOMETHIN BEAUTIFUL ♥️♥️🙌

Such a beautiful voice and music. Best wishes, from Scotland.

Sheer beauty.

I know a breton version of this song : "Sleep, my dear child, down in your bed, while your father is far on the deep sea... Time has come to rest in your bed. It's a lullaby.

I've been to those places and it's so beautiful.

Anybody know where one can find more legit traditional music like this? Doesn't have to be Scottish or Irish alone, I just want to really get to know genuine tunes that weren't made for the specific goal of fame or world fashion. This sounds lovely and real, not oversynthesized, just instruments making something actually "new". And KZbin really lacks this kind of stuff

Can we talk about how this lady is from Oregon, singing this song totally authentically? Just wow.

Boidheach!

a lovely auld scots gallic sang

Shincjarst song ❤❤❤❤🍀🍀🍀🍀

I have no idea how my father's family got a gaellic name, but i'm glad we do.

This is my favourite gaelic song of all time.

I found this sing freshman year of high school after reading the book the shack. I love this song. It will forever be the backdrop to my happiness

Sounds so magic. I wish it could have more songs in Gaelic.

The way Gaelic just flows just makes it beautiful. It flows like water

Very nice, her patriarchal attribution best attributed as Germanian, Danish especially; these two patriarchal attributions, Celtic and Germanian, as if meant for friendship... Three sons of Beteweh; Betewehes, his son from whom came both Celts and Frisians, or English; two other sons, Germanian and Slavics from them. Beteweh, the nordic Parallel to Noah, of the middle eastern amber caucasian, different... The Frisian, or English such attribution was removed from the planet, however; speaking English, not very advisably, is one reason for very incredibly low vitality, syndromatic currently...

The British isles and Ireland are the most beautiful place on the planet.

What a perfect rendition. Your voice is perfect. ❤️‍🔥🙏🌹
