This is a song in Scottish Gaelic. The song is better known for the version Rachel Waker recorded. If you are unfamiliar with Rachel, search her immediately after looking through my website and purchasing my CD. In all sincerity, she is amazing and well worth a few minutes or dollars on iTunes. Her version is sweet with piano accompaniment. My version uses a more rhythmic feel, well, after the a cappella introduction, and the Scottish small pipes played by EJ Jones add to the feeling of being right there with the grazing cattle and singing girls.
O thèid is gun tèid, O thèid mi thairis
Gu innis nam bò Far an ceòlmhòr ainnir
Sèist: Ill ò bha hò S'na hao
ri ri rì o hi
Hoireann o gù o hill ò bha hò
Gu Bràighe Loch Iall, Far am bith fiadh s'an langan
Is earbag nan stùc Tha lùghmhor eangar
Mo beannachd ad dhèidh, Ged is fheudar bhith dealaicht
Oh, I will surely go, I will go over
to the grazing cattle where the girls sing songs
Chorus: La la la....
To the Braes of Locheil where
the stags bellow
And the wee roe of peaks so
nimble.
My blessing to you though we
had to part
