Mairi Campbell - Auld Lang Syne @Scots Trad Music Awards

[@mabonfinch456]

The only version of this song I’ll listen to - the absolute best version. Just listened to it tonight, in celebration of 2023.

[@gigidayz6936]

Chills chills chills. I once dated a Scotsman..many years ago. He sang this song to me. Just gorgeous.

[@denisedarling3834]

The most beautiful version of this song that I have ever heard

[@Iviesonthebrick]

The best version of Auld Lang Syne ever. Her voice always make me stay standstill in silence amidst the hustle and bustle of my surroundings

[@jodyogilvie3180]

I agree. Simply Beautiful!

[@kristamarx3147]

Absolutely the most beautiful version.

[@funghouls5498]

One of the finest renditions Thank you.

[@ReggieLeeJr]

I’m Jamaican with Scottish roots and this gets to me everytime

[@philippascotland9901]

Mairi’s voice is very healing and soothing and carries the soul of Scotland . Beautiful!

[@JustFiddler]

indeed. greeting from bali island

[@ruadhagainagaidheal9398]

At 2:59 that lassie in the audience was looking so wistful it broke my heart.

[@Windygowl]

Amazing rendition! Many good Hogmanys blessed by Mairi’s singing. 🎶

[@elitemangudai1016]

I feel at home when I hear old scottish songs. They make me feel free like the fresh grass that grows towards the sky on the vast scottish fields...

[@JayneAllis]

Sean Connery passed away today. For me, Sean Connery is the coolest actor of all time. I'm dedicating this beautiful version of Auld Lang Syne to him. He was honored at the Kennedy Center in 1999 and Mari Campbell sang this song in Scots for him. So Sir Sean, bye for noo. Hae a guid journey! ♥

[@MountainsoftheHeart]

This is the very best version of Auld Lang Syne EVER

[@kristamarx3147]

The best version I have ever heard.

[@SilverCircle71]

Definitely the best version, I ever heard. No wonder, the producers have chosen her for the Sex and the City version, which is a bit more commercialized and less traditional for the US market, but still very good. Happy 2020!

[@NikkieTwix]

I’m Scottish and I had never heard this until I watched the sex and the city movie years ago. Fell in love with it instantly, it’s so underrated

[@dougiemnicol]

Mairi's harmonies from the second chorus on just blow me away! Never heard these harmonies before. They make the song even more wonderful than it was before!

[@elsasterling1498]

Great memories. I am in Sangstream I love Mairi Campbell

[@gneesee]

So Very Beautiful ! ! !

[@TOM-yo2tv]

Its so lovely to be blessed to be Scottish. I love our beautiful culture. So from the heart was our Robert Burns.

[@mjccjm398]

Un paese molto bello!

[@mjccjm398]

💙

[@thurney4343]

Love this version...so melancholy...so nostalgic and yet at the same time full of hope!

[@LatinaKamilla]

I’m not even Scottish or Irish (not sure where this is from, sorry) but this brought me to tears. To see everyone in unison singing and being happy and recalling beautiful fond memories. Really brings life and the importance of unity and love/kindness into perspective.

[@jo-josuds]

The Scottish Poet, Robbie Burns wrote it. He was from Ayr, Scotland where my Grandma came from.

[@perthrockskinda2946]

Nothing to so with Ireland. This song was written originally in Scots, it's Germanic, you know like the Anglo-Saxons.

[@johnmcvitty3633]

Everytime I hear this version my eyes well up, I have no idea why though, its so beautiful

[@jo-josuds]

I think it relates to those we have lost. I write this now in 2021.

[@nalodailec]

It could be because you have a soul that is able to appreciate beauty ❤

[@johnmcvitty3633]

@@nalodailec thank you, ❤

[@NikkieTwix]

Best version of this song

[@alainkouam6102]

J'adore cette mélodie. Elle rappelle mon enfance et les câlins que ma feu mere me faisait. ☝️

[@alexmorris452]

Aye the Scots folk can be proud o this version ,they really have took this auld classic tae another level 10 oot o ten

[@Sandybeaches07]

Best one I’ve heard proud to be Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍 gives you goosebumps ❤️

[@oscarrobles6937]

Most magnificent version of a classic song. J'ADORE ,🙂💐

[@WelganMaria]

Невероятно красива песня и исполнение! Благодарю!

[@lizziejca]

Love this Scottish brogue....gaelic. Love the tune sung and played this way

[@jc4217]

+The Wise One Except that English is related to Gaelic. They're both Indo-European languages. ;-) Of course, Greek, Armenian and Hindi have a similar relationship to both, with a common ancestor for all of them around 5000-6000 years ago. You could argue a somewhat closer relationship for English and Gaelic, since both have historically had heavy borrowing of words from the Romance languages. But that doesn't really have much effect on the basic family tree.

[@allanmcintyre7096]

+The Wise One it's in both English and Gaelic.

[@gordonhall752]

one correction.. the Scots have a "Bur" not a "brogue".

[@joshuakenz4627]

Scots is not Scottish Gaelic. It is a descendant on Middle English, and grew up with Modern English

[@felicitypayment70]

so beautiful lots of vibrations Marie is a pure soul

[@flungingpictures]

Top of the season to all. Than you for sharing this great version. A toast to Rabbie.

[@johnjarou2357]

very beautiful. half Scottish here.

[@FusionNeko]

Best ver ever

[@MorrisonKat]

The correct way to sing the bards wonderful's song. Kenna & james are from SKYE.

[@WilliamBarclay-s6j]

So great. 25 yeah expat crying in his beer

[@landlandnat]

My favorite 💞

[@gA-er9hv]

I cry every time she sings

[@lexicornfell7361]

Nearly fluffs the words at 0:51. We twa hae pailed aboot the braes? Still a lovely rendition, though.

[@malcolmhmorrison934]

I loved her singing during the sex and the city film. Just right for the ending.

[@htownharlot]

The sweetest

[@fbueller]

Loving the live version!

[@lmg6416ify]

I love this song so much!

[@ThomasJohnKenny]

A favourite version of the song.

[@ReggieLeeJr]

Just the little songs in life that make you feel so emotional

[@martensmith]

A lovely song, especially in the older version (performed here). A missunderstanding in the lyrics of the chorus last word first line "my jove". Should be "Jo" which means "dear" in old scots. "Jove" is the god of thunder in the old roman mythology, as in the slightly archaic and upper class english "by Jove".

[@natalia.tasha.ondruskova]

Oh thanx my jo (-:

[@ruadhagainagaidheal9398]

Nobody sang “ my Jove” in this.

[@martensmith]

@@ruadhagainagaidheal9398 at one time or other the lyrics were displayed or someone asked about it in the comments - hence my comment.

[@YammoYammamoto]

The version closest to old Scottish that I've found so far... especially containing the rough "ch" sound in "brau(ch)t".

[@stephenmann3122]

This is how Scotland’s international anthem should be sung, in Scots and Gaelic!

[@hsk7202]

So beutiful !!!!!

[@dorotheapietrek1462]

How beautiful

[@EvieVermont]

Wonderful! Just wonderful! And I hear I am Irish and French. I feel more Irish than French now! Lovely!

[@ruadhagainagaidheal9398]

Irish ? French ? This is a Scottish song , usually sung only in the Scots language but here joined by Scottish Gaelic

[@lystaylor6416]

Amazing voice ❤️

[@jeanmyers1787]

Best version ever 🙏🙏🙏

[@Brinah]

That was beautiful!!!

[@mattouli]

So nice to hear it. Lowland Scots language, closer to an ancient English really. Scottish Gaelic was more Northern... highlands and Hebrides

[@ruadhagainagaidheal9398]

Gaelic was you say ? Gaelic IS , man

[@rosep3933]

❤

[@somebodyunknown2349]

Merry Christmas everyone sing this on new year’s

[@bourbonbeaucoup1872]

This is the most beautiful rendition of Auld Lang Syne I have ever heard. I must have listened to it a hundred times since I first discovered it just last week. I'd also like to know who is the male soloist looking so handsome in black who beautifully sang a verse in Gaelic.

[@TradMusicForum]

His name is James Graham

[@calliedunne7944]

lovely

[@helenrumjanek2415]

wonderful!!

[@joychen120]

[@irenegaltung9304]

nice song :)

[@brosisyoutube5408]

so amazing makes me feel feel warm inside with goodness!

[@bourbonbeaucoup1872]

👏👏👏 This is by far the best rendition of the song I have ever heard and staged so beautifully. 👏👏👏

[@themadgi3170]

could not remember the name of this song for the life of me, thought it was flower of Scotland for some reason then out of nowhere it played on man seeking woman and I finally made it back to this version, the best.

[@amolrattansingh1576]

Beautifully sung. This is the second Scots version I've heard sung; i.e. as per the original song penned by Robert Burns (as per what I've read on the net over the years, with Wikipedia giving the lyrics of the original version). However, the stanza sung by the elderly lady and the young man, I've heard for the first time. It's that part in Gaellic? And could anybody translate it please?

[@Windygowl]

Sounds like it .. I don’t speak Gaelic but I I expect what they are singing is translated to the english words 😂 As I understand it this is, loosely, the lesser sung traditional version though I’m not sure it had so many fractions. The choir hold it all together beautifully 💜

[@amolrattansingh1576]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2XTf2Owo5ZpoM0 This is the other Scots version on KZbin

[@debraarnold3703]

Thanks from USA, for this other version. That's the one I played on piano so long ago for the old folks.

[@vKarl71]

THis is the real melody that was used by Burns (comes from an old Scottish song, i think, but I wish I knew what that song was.

[@franzlyonheart4362]

This is divorce. The two countries love each other..., but the seas between us brea had roared.... The union is unsustainable.

[@karema06]

Auld Lang Syne Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind ? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne* ? CHORUS: For auld lang syne, my jo (or my dear), for auld lang syne, we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet, for auld lang syne. We twa hae run about the braes, and pu’d the gowans fine ; But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit, sin auld lang syne. CHORUS We twa hae paidl’d i' the burn, frae morning sun till dine ; But seas between us braid hae roar’d sin auld lang syne. CHORUS And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere ! and gie's a hand o’ thine ! And we’ll tak a right gude-willy waught, for auld lang syne. CHORUS “Hace Mucho Tiempo” ¿Deberían olvidarse las viejas amistades y nunca recordarse? ¿Deberían olvidarse las viejas amistades y los viejos tiempos? CORO: Por los viejos tiempos, amigo mío, por los viejos tiempos: tomaremos una copa de cordialidad por los viejos tiempos. Los dos hemos correteado por las laderas y recogido las hermosas margaritas, pero hemos errado mucho con los pies doloridos desde los viejos tiempos. CORO Los dos hemos vadeado la corriente desde el mediodía hasta la cena, pero anchos mares han rugido entre nosotros desde los viejos tiempos. CORO Y he aquí una mano, mi fiel amigo, y danos una de tus manos, y ¡echemos un cordial trago de cerveza por los viejos tiempos!. CORO

[@thisgirlsings4388]

Thank you

[@ngraham1978]

Is the third verse in Scots Gaelic and can anyone post those lyrics? Hard to find online and would love to read them.

[@rentonpamela]

We twa hae paiddled in the burn, fae mornin' sun 'till dine, but the seas between us braid hae roared, sin old lang syne.

Her voice reminds me so much of Lorenna Mcknight

F John Herbert, I found this same video on the Hands Up for Trad page, the official page of the Scots Trad awards, and someone commented on there that it's Kenna Campbell and James Graham. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ_WhX6mibGdb6M
