Karen and Julie together. Two of finest Gaelic voices out there.

I was a rock and roll fan in the 70's, and then Celtic music came along and I was hooked- Capercaillie, Silly Wizard, Karen,, Julie and all those wonderful musicians who really move my heart. Thank you all!

Celtic music seems to be the origin of rock and roll ....... Celtic people did not write down anything so, to remember, the druids hat to tell history and so on but .... to remember, they needed rythm ..... and so it began 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

This is a religious song about blood atonement by following the teachings of Jesus Christ, although he is not mentioned by name. However, the biblical character Nicodemus is mentioned. Dezi Donnelly on fiddle and Michael McGoldrick on Irish Flute, both from Manchester England, but Irish parents. The title of the song means "O' that you would listen to the tale attentively."

O Nach Éisdeadh Tu'n Sgeul le Aire Séist: | Chorus (after each verse): O nach éisdeadh tu ‘n sgeul le aire | Oh that you would listen to the tale attentively Dh’innse ‘n éifeachd tha’n réit’ na fala | To tell of the efficacy that is in atonement by blood O nach éisdeadh tu ‘n sheul le aire | Oh that you would listen to the tale attentively Chuirinn impidh ort thu ghrad philltinn | I implore you to turn back quickly M'am bi thu millt, | Before you're destroyed, O gabh suim dha d'anam | Oh take care for your soul Sluagh gun chùram, | Careless people, Tha’n dorus dùint’ orr’ | The door is closed on them ‘S tha claidheamh rùisgt’ air a chùl dha’m faire | And there is a naked sword behind it to watch them Sluagh gun chùram, tha’n dorus dùint’ orr’ | People without number, standing near him Ach ‘s daor a thàinig thu ghràidh dha’n ceannach | But it was at great cost that you came, love, to redeem them Ni Nicodemus is a chéile | Nicodemus, and his partner ‘S Manasseh féin fuil na réit a ghlanadh | And Manasseh himself can be washed in the blood of atonement Faic an t-óigear rinn ‘fhuil a dhòrtadh | See the young man who split his blood Do pheacaich mhór thainig beò tre ‘ghlanadh | For great sinners who came alive though his cleansing Cluinn thu tàirneanach beinn Shinài | Hear the thundering of Mount Sinai Tha bagraidh bàis ‘g iarraidh làn de pheanas | Death threatens, asking for full penance Ma tha thu ad’bhantraich, ‘s e féin is ceann ort | If you are widowed, he is at your head Cur séile teann ann am bonn(t) a gheallaidh | Putting a firm seal on the trueness of his promise

Does anyone know which volume of the Transatlantic Sessions this comes from? This music makes me weep like a child (like a wee bairn)-and I am an American who doesn't speak a word of Gaelic. (Another jaw-dropper is Emily Smith and Julie Fowlis doing "Caledonia"; don't miss that one.)

[@chriscooper1355]

Volume (Series) 4. programme 6 - and I also love this song, and the fact that I don't understand any Gaelic just doesn't matter at all. Brilliant.

[@stanley8441]
