Noble Maiden Fair - Lyrics onscreen!

[@LightningHunterWolf]

I am a scottish girl and I am so glad I was able to pick this up and learn to sing it by heart. Its a shame that many schools dont teach our language and I have done my best to learn bits and pieces. I wish I was fluent in my country's native language.

[@Hevvss]

Red Wolf I feel you. ;__;

[@alixjamieson2177]

Same here :) My Mum and me vow to learn it someday :) Aileen Duin the theme song of my the film my Mum acted in

[@grioghairmacgrioghair5311]

Red Wolf TO MY ETERNAL SHAME THIS SHOULD BE MY FIRST LANGUAGE BUT I CAN ONLY SPEAK IT POORLY SO MUCH WE HAVE LET GO THAT WE NEED TO REGAIN.INCIDENTALLY I AM THE PRODUCT OF TWO NATIONS HIGHLAND SCOTS AND BRULE LAKOTAH MY NAME WITH THEM IS SHUNKAHASKA WHICH MEANS WHITE OR GHOST WOLF

[@TheAllomen]

Red Wolf it does seem a shame, it sounds like a very awesome and beautiful language but that is what happens... my country's native language is a mystery what we know is that it was completely erased by the Romans and substituted by latin

[@grioghairmacgrioghair5311]

me too red wolf can speak a little gaihead and a little lacotah both my peoples tongues but not as fluent as i should be in either

[@amberrebecca3802]

ten million times better than "Let it Go", ten million times less known...

[@tonyburgoyne9614]

AGREED

[@silvermist7303]

[@ladyfoxwf1075]

Amber Rebecca I feel the same way; it’s sad 😢

[@alienindisguise5546]

What about the piano guys version

[@יוחנה]

Amber Rebecca yes absolutely

[@sampeacaml9307]

Translation (according to Disney Wiki): Little baby, hear my voice I'm beside you, O maiden fair Our young Lady, grow and see Your land, your own faithful land Sun and moon, guide us To the hour of our glory and honour Little baby, our young Lady Noble maiden fair

[@ΔεαΚ]

sampea CAML omg so amazing

[@shiekahfan01]

There are several translations, one talks about riding a virgin white horse

[@itsmeanthony9704]

sampea CAML pretty accurate, and the song of course is beautiful.

[@casperrevived3967]

Awwwww, that’s adorable

[@kittylove1122]

* note self * lullaby for my future children

[@kristymock4131]

kittylove1122 Same here... im going to definitely tell my future children of their Scottish roots...

[@dexterbigx740]

Yes fren!

[@thesaltypineapple7663]

kittylove1122 yesss!!!

[@firebow2810]

Dezi Ferguson as long as you keep listening to it, you'll learn it. I had to learn two Nors songs for a production and I learned it by listening to it while reading along a couple of times.

[@rosefedan453]

kittylove1122 XD my exact thoughts when listening to this

[@levongevorgyan6789]

Pixar never ceases to amaze me. The terms in Finding Nemo were actual Dentistry terms. The wood turner in the witches cabin is a well used wood working tool. But this song takes the cake. It was made by Pixar in Gaelic. You don't see this level of depth in Disney, hell, the messed up voodoo in The Princess and Frog.

[@DjTioz]

Ehm... Pixar studios is a part of Disney...

[@levongevorgyan6789]

Well, yes, but so is Marvel. Pixar kind of does its own thing.

[@Peizxcv]

The old Disney that produced the politically correct junks of the last 90s' and 00s' have no class. The modern Disney with Tangled and Frozen are world class. The Runes and Old Norse in Frozen are all historically correct.

[@hotpocketoverlord7800]

Also, the castle is based off like 8 actual castles in scotland

[@ajabreu2657]

I'm Irish, and I absolutely love Noble Maiden Fair. I can most certainly speak Gaelic. It's in my blood.

[@abbystratton423]

i’m scottish and i picked this up almost immediately :))

[@Askari-farah]

Same

[@iberius9937]

Tá, go deimhin. Tá Gaeilge Agat!!!

[@itsmeanthony9704]

Many say Gaelic is Confusing and Odd, but this song proves it’s beauty and it’s complexity of emotion. Which is why I’m proud to be both an Irish and Scottish brat.

[@michumichi124]

What I want to do: Memorize the song; Go to the Highlands; Sing it whole-heartedly as I forget everything around me and just cherish the rare serenity.

[@ivyhuesmann1769]

Right after this song had ended while i was listening to it is when my mum walked in and told me my pup lacey had passed due to an unknown cause. I will never ever forget her, this is such a beautiful song and so many memories i have with it. R.I.P. Lacey 4.15.11-9.1.14 xx

[@zivadinozzo5719]

Condolences to u and ur family. Prayers r sent to u and ur family.

[@dragonfire3871]

This song is simply beautiful, every time I listen to it I tear up and that is not a common thing with me.

[@nataliasanchezramirez6469]

I'm spaniard and I love gaelic and scotish culture.When I hear this song I feel a energy invade my body and transpor me to the pre-Roman age, to the natural life.And I also felt a connection between all countries that had a celtic culture.I know they had't the same customs exactly,but I feel that.Love from Spain,and love for every country. Sorry for my english , we don't have a good education in languages.

[@roselover411]

Uff, Gaelic is one complicated language. Nothing is pronounced the way it looks XD

[@xWHITExEAGLEx]

If you know the spelling system it's actually more consistent than English :P

[@Tdemon]

It's not that complicated actually. You just have to be open to a different set of patterns. :) It's really consistent.

[@Kirbyeggz]

+xWHITExEAGLEx True that, English has all these rules but breaks all of them frequently. It makes it so confusing , it needs to stick to its own grammar rules.

[@andrewvanbeek1573]

Here are a couple of rules that will help you out a lot. Usually, any word where the second letter is H, the letter preceding it is silent unless the first letter is either B or M, in which case the first syllable sounds like a V. Another letter combination to watch out for is GH. If a vowel follows it, the H is more emphasized and the G is almost but not quite silent, if a consonant follows it (such as L), the G is more emphasized.

[@edanwild7329]

roselover411 are ye sure that French is not harder

[@xmilkteax]

First this movie, now seeing the lyrics for the song... it's making me think of my mom... DAMMIT WHO'S CHOPPING ONIONS IN HERE??

[@bethgutierrez-vazquez3055]

I am probably

[@Kirbyeggz]

+Alone and waiting Same

[@elizabethbaldwin5226]

I know it's hella dusty in here you guys, what I'm not crying

[@fionamelady389]

I love this song and I applaud your work in researching the accents and spelling. I know Scots Gaelic and, just for future reference, you have "fhéin" with a stràc gheur (also known as a síneadh fada in Irish Gaelic) whereas it is supposed to be "fhèin" with a stràc throm (or grave accent). Irish Gaelic uses the fada (acute) for accents and emphasis, and Scots Gaelic uses the grave accent. Although, there are very very few instances where Scots Gaelic uses the acute accent, the word "fhèin" is not one of them. But thank you for looking into trying to get the spelling and accents correct! :)

[@edanwild7329]

I'm SCOTTISH and feel offended by all the lads and lasses that put a thumbs down. If you learn respect people will respect you YE BLEEDIN' BASTERDS.

[@ustinov9119]

I'm Scottish, and I'm offended you are offended. We're better than this. No?

[@katherineperry8376]

Truth Be told! Bro!!! Alba Go Braugh!!! 👏 👏

[@maywenearedhel]

Oh Gaelic, even now, after ten years of listening to you and fussing over your written form, reading you out loud still gives me a headache...

[@Nantsingonyama]

Thank you! If you have the time, I would greatly appreciate specific feedback/suggestions (either in comments or PM, whichever you prefer)! I'm always looking to improve the quality of what information is provided with the videos. I am from the slightly Celtic region of Nova Scotia, so maybe a bit of that has rubbed off on me. :P

[@justaperson7938]

You mean Alba Nuadh. :D

[@iamclassicforlife]

I hope I'm not insulting anyone by writing this, but would it be fair to say the transliteration looks something like this? "É-nna-yann-vìhìc clay-mogü Mish-reetth-hey-bì vaijan va-han, Aree-vin-yög fas-às faikhth Dhô here jeelas-fein, Ich ranasay-yalach shtüru-shìnn Gu-üwér-ar-cleu-sag-laharéh, Na-yann vìhìc aree-vin-yög, Maijann wasal vann."

[@RVBagelPlays]

No, actually this helps a lot, I've been trying to learn this, but it's hard by ear and not much easier even with the lyrics.. Thanks!

[@iamclassicforlife]

Happy to be of help! :)

[@LadyLaufeyson]

Thanks for this! ♡

[@Lizhi荔枝]

This actually helped a lot! Thanks, I really appreciate it!

[@fionamelady389]

Apologies, but "transliteration" is different from phonetics. This is 100%, most definitely, NOT "transliteration" of Scots Gaelic. Just for future reference...

[@albapastor6538]

i love this song. In my country (Spain) in the north were celtics and my grandad's family were from this part and this song remember me a lullaby that my grandad used to sing... So beautiful...

[@meowingwool]

Is that the Basque region?

[@albapastor6538]

yeah it is!!!

[@meowingwool]

Yay, I know my language geography! I find it cool how that language is unrelated to anyother language spoken anywhere!!

[@albapastor6538]

I said "remembered", not "it's", ok? I was too little and I can't ask my grandad anything because he's dead.

[@meowool]

Alba Pastor Fernández ....I don't understand what I said wrong? I was just saying that the Basque language is unrelated to any other language.

[@satiricwriter]

I cried......cuz the first time i heard this, mum was away with some cousin from America to another part of the country i live in....and the song reminded all those times she was always there when i needed her and missed her. she did come back but (due to probably me being a huge baby or me being on my menstrual) i still cried inside.

[@MarianaGarciaGrijalva]

I always cry with this song ;-;

[@krisnoyes2061]

Me too😢🙍

[@gergs988]

[@kkraech74]

My name is in this language... it was nice to stumble across it. It's kinda like a hug from your history.

[@RKHageman]

FYI, folks -- 'mh' and 'bh' letter combinations are pronounced 'v' anns a' Gaidhlig. That's not an error. Well done, Nantsingonyama!

[@justaperson7938]

It's because there's no "v" in the Gaelic alphabet.

[@whowantmuffin]

This music always calms me. Beautiful!

[@dragongem124]

That's what this song is! I've loved it since I saw the movie but have never been able to figure out what it's called! Thank you for posting!

[@floppa559]

Is there any way I can learn Gaelic Scottish? I wanna learn it so badly

[@floppa559]

i live in pakistan haha so i don't think you can tutor me :/ (unless you wanna tutor me online)

[@edanwild7329]

Try finding something on Roseta stone.

[@floppa559]

gaelic is not available on rosetta stone :(

[@edanwild7329]

I can't do it online for the very reason that I don't have a computer so I'm sorry.

[@floppa559]

its okay! :)

[@emilyruoff2759]

Thank you for sharing this with the pronunciations! Absolutely love this song, get goosebumps and teary eyes every time.

Here they are, from the Disney wikia page for this song. When I compared the two, some things I realised are a simular. Little baby, hear my voice I'm beside you, O maiden fair Our young Lady, grow and see Your land, your own faithful land Sun and moon, guide us To the hour of our glory and honour Little baby, our young Lady Noble maiden fair

[@mikaylalouie0406]

Thank you for the pronunciations in the description box. Very helpful!

[@00Zubby00]

I love being both Scottish and Irish. I plan on singing this to my future daughter.

[@LizzieRoberta]

It's funny to see your translation/ sounding of my country's Gaelic language. You're very good for someone who is not from Scotland. I must congratulate you on that because it is a very difficult language to learn and even pronounce especially if you aren't from celtic regions. I noticed you put a lot of "v"s when it's actually pronounced with a "b" or "m" especially in the last line. I am very please with this though and I hope you pursue learning Gaelic :) 's math a fhuaras tu!

This is such a beautiful song...Even though I don't understand much Gaelic (I started learning it, but I lack the time at the moment and heck, that's one complicated language), it just sounds so, so hauntingly beautiful. And makes me tear up every time. Wish I was a little girl again, cuddling with my mum...

Whoever the singer is she is not a native speaker of Gaelic...the child sounds like she is though.

Ian MacAskill well the child is Scottish, so Idk if she speaks Gaelic, but maybe. The older actress is British and I’m like 95% sure she doesn’t speak it

[@terezakissova574]

Nope. She doesnt. She is half-scottish woman :) Emma Thopmson is it.

[@casper10690]

well, gaelic in all its many forms is one of the many celtic language.the celts were an were a people indiginous to all but western europe until the migrated that way. but before they did, they existed mainly in the central part of europe.very close to the germanic tribes in many case and around the same time period. so some of the words in all the celt tounges may very well be slighty german in manner,early german.

[@girl.underswapsans8359]
