[@anitaholladay2389]

This tune has been going through my head all day; I knew it was one of Karen's I had heard recently. I had to look it up and fortunately I recognized it quickly. So lovely it brings tears.

Here is a text and translation that I found in the Internet. It is nice to know what the song is about, but it is beautiful even if one does not know. Wonderful voice and wonderful song. Oh that I were 'S a' ghleann a' fuireach Living in the glen O nach robh mi thall Oh that I were An Glean Baile Chaoil Over in Gleann Baile Chaoil Nan robh mise thall If I were living 'S a' ghleann a' fuireach Over in the glen Chan fhàgainn e tuilleadh I would never leave it again Glean lurach mo ghaoil My beautiful, beloved glen Nuair dh' éireas a' ghrian When the sun rises on it Air bu chiatach bhith ann Delightful it is to be there 'Si cho fial flathail coibh-neil And the sun, so liberally A' boillsgeadh air chrann Gracefully and warmly shining on the trees I dùsgadh nan lòn-dubh Awakening the blackbirds 'S nan smeòrach air ghéig And thrushes on branches Chur fàilte l'en ceòl To proclaim with their music Air a mórachd 'san speur Its majesty in the heavens 'S a' mhadainn 'n uair dh' eirinn In the morning when I'd arise Gun eislean gun ghruaim Without worry or discontent 'S e thug solas do m'inntinn What brought happiness to my mind Bhith sealltainn riut suas Was to look up towards you Chaneil glean eil' air Gaidhealtachd There is no other glen in the Highlands Bheir barr ort an snuadh To match you in appearance Gur mis ha fo chradh-lot It is I who is dejected Bhith 'n drasd cho fad uait Presently being so far from you

[@shunhuaguo3983]

Thank you for the translation. I listened to it so many times so much satisfied even without knowing the words. Now I know the lyrics is also so beautiful.

[@user-do7kl9pl4m]

Mans more when you live in the glen

[@eoghand1719]

To James Stuart. Míle buíochas from France for the lyrics and the translation. ☺

[@user-do7kl9pl4m]

Glean Baile Chaoi is Glenachulish - to partially complete the translation

Spellbindingly mesmerising. Could anyone help me get hold of the sheet music for this? I've not found it online, and would love to share it with my choir!

[@debrawhited3035]

Gorgeous!!!! Myonly wish would be for english subtitles for those of us who don't speak Gaelic.

Seisd: O nach robh mi thall sa ghleann a' fuireach, O nach robh mi thall an gleann Bhaile Chaoil; Nan robh mise thall sa ghleann a' fuireach Chan fhàgainn e tuilleadh, gleann lurach mo ghaoil. Sa mhadainn nuair dh'èirinn gun èislean, gun ghruaim, 'S e thug sòlas do m' inntinn bhith sealltainn riut suas; Chan eil gleann eil' air Ghàidhealtachd bheir bàrr ort an snuadh; Gur mis' tha fo chràdh-lot bhith 'n-dràst' cho fad uat. Seisd Gleann farsaing, fìor mhonadh, dhìrinn e suas, Gleann maiseach fìneagach 's mìorbhaileach tuar; Ri samhradh is geamhradh do chleòca cho uain'; Chan eil nì a rinn nàdar nach fàs air do bhruaich. Seisd Nuair dh'èireas a' ghrian air bu chiatach bhith ann, 'S i cho fial, flathail, coibhneil, a' boillsgeadh air chrann; I dùsgadh nan lòn-dubh 's nan smeòrach air ghèig Cur fàilte len ceòl air a mòrachd san speur. Seisd
