On chuir mi mo chùl ri stùcan eilean as bòidhch' Gu bheil mi gun sunnd fo thùrs' 's mo chridhe fo leòn Nuair thig na mo chuimhn' na glinn san robh mi o m' òig Far an iarrainn bhi tàmh gach là cho fad 's bhithinn beò Bheir sùil air mun cuairt 's a bhruaichean uile 's iad làn Seamarag is neòinean, sòbhrag bhuidhe ann a fàs Smeòrach nan geug air sgèith a'caithream gu h-àrd Cò chunnaic e riamh nach iarradh ann a bhi tàmh Bha'm pailteas ann riamh den bhiadh 's cha bhitheadh oirrn èis Bha iasg ann is feòil 's gach seòrs' air an cuireadh tù feum Tha lus ann a fàs bheir slàint' a dh'iomadach crèuchd Ann an eilean beag Bheàntraigh 's àille leam tha fon ghrèin

I agree with all the adulatory comments. I have found the text to Fagail Bhernaraidh, but it has 6 verses, and it doesn't seem like she's singing all of them. And of course there doesn't seem to be any correspondence between the spelling and the pronunciation, so I'm lost in trying to follow. (I should explain that I'm hard of hearing, so some subtle sounds are lost to me.) Would someone please provide some clues? Thanks. (I'll post the text if that helps.)

Besides loan words taken from English, Gaelic has minimal relationship with English. Modern English is a Germanic Language with a simplified grammar due to the Norman Conquest of England that has a great many loan words take after 1066 from French. Gaelic is an ancient language with a more complicated grammar and a different set of phonetics from English. the most significant connection, other than the loan words is that they are both Indo-European languages so it is not like French or Spanish where many words are similar to longer,English, French derived words, or Swedish and Danish where many of the shorter words are similar to English words that are from Old English (pre1066). The only languages related to Scottish Gaelic in Europe are Irish Gaelic, which is essentially the same as Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, Cornish and Breton which are the surviving fellow Celtic languages.
