Lyrics: Lon-dubh a' seinn ann an dubhar na h-oidhche tog do sgiathan brist' is èirigh suas fad do rè, bha thu a' feitheamh airson an tìd' gu togail rithe. Lon-dubh a' seinn ann an dubhar na h-oidhche, tog an sgàil bho d' shùil is seall gu geur fad do rè, bha thu a' feitheamh airson an tioc a bhios tu saor. Lon-dubh sgèith, lon-dubh sgèith, Steach dhan t-sòlas dubh na h-oidhche. (Blackbird fly, blackbird, fly, fly..... into the light, dark black night...) Lon-dubh a' seinn ann an dubhar na h-oidhche tog do sgiathan brist' is èirigh suas fad do rè, bha thu a' feitheamh airson an tìd' gu togail rithe.
Saw her live just about a month ago. Amazing performance. Like, literally melt-your-face-off good. After, she was just hanging out up front chatting with fans as if it was nothing. People like her inspire me to try harder and accomplish more with my life.
Prove it. Upload a video of your emotions as you recall that beautiful moment. I want to see tears and drooling with hand wiping without tissue. Just inefficient hand use
it is the first song I heard Julie sing several years ago and I have loved her since. We watched the programme on BBC Alba last night, May 14, and it was excellent and such a range of styles from musicians known to us and some I did not know like Rodrigo and Gabriela in Mexico. This is a very talented lady and her Scots Gaelic just reminds me of the strong bonds that link Ireland with Scotland. Maith thú, Julie!
A beautiful voice ,what a gift , There are about a hundred thousand people who speak this language including a few in Cape Breton NS. Julie makes ii magic
I'm Australian with the vast majority of my ancestry being Scot, in a way i feel like i'm connecting with ancestor's when i listen to this, i feel like i'm coming home.
"blackbird fly,....", your voice soared beautifully like a lark at that part of the song Julie! Like the others here I appreciate your commitment to the Gaelic language and music.
It's a beautiful,lyrical language....even though i can't claim to speak it...i understand it on a much deeper level than mere words.....it hits me in my very soul.... How can that not be good.....
I love hearing this in the beautiful Scot Gaelic. It makes me want to return to my ancestral lands where this Celt woman's heart can soar in the Highland mist.
Glad that the algorithm recommended this video to me. I can't understand a single word of this song. I don't know what language that was even. But that doesn't matter because her voice is just wonderful.
Wow. Julie is truly incredible. I learned the song as a guitar solo a few years back, and have always thought it was one of the most touching songs I'd heard. Hearing it in Gaelic takes it a hundred times further into my weeping heart. @pduffy 1943, thank you for putting up a version of Gaelic. I am going to try to learn it. I don't know Gaelic, shame on me, but I can copy it if I can hear and see the phrases at the same time. Terrible accent, but Utahms wont know! wow.
I didn't think it possible to find a more perfect version than the original, but this is simply stunningly beautiful. Can you send me the guitar tab?!!
One of the largest Gaelic speaking communities on the planet is in Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island and the language is Scots Gaelic. It isn't always the availability of others who speak the language for those who want to learn it, the key to culture is always language.
this songs awesome, Julie, people love you!! no dis-likes, that's better reviews than the beatles get on this song. keep making this beautiful music; it obviously touches everyone who hears it, even if they can't understand it!!
Few covers of this song can approach the near-perfection of Macca's original, but this is right up there. Wonderful reinterpretation, and though the "like" numbers currently suggest that there are 5 sourpusses out there, they are justly and vastly way outnumbered by the approbation.
I want to learn Gaelic. It's an amazing idiom, so sweet and aaaaaaaahhhh I just love it..... I'll learn it, I promise... -I speak italian, russian and english... Gaelic is one of my favourite, but here, in Argentina, is very strange find someone who speak this awesome language.
Beautiful ! :) I'm from Poland , and I'm learning Gaelic ( of course thanks to internet ). It's hard, but I'm trying to do my best , that language is really amazing !
It's a wonderful language, I'm in the process of learning it myself. :) Sure, it's hard sometimes, but I pull through and remind myself that I really do want to be able to speak Gaelic.
Lyrics:
Lon-dubh a' seinn ann an dubhar na h-oidhche
tog do sgiathan brist' is èirigh suas
fad do rè, bha thu a' feitheamh airson an tìd' gu togail rithe.
Lon-dubh a' seinn ann an dubhar na h-oidhche,
tog an sgàil bho d' shùil is seall gu geur
fad do rè, bha thu a' feitheamh airson an tioc a bhios tu saor.
Lon-dubh sgèith, lon-dubh sgèith,
Steach dhan t-sòlas dubh na h-oidhche.
(Blackbird fly, blackbird, fly, fly.....
into the light, dark black night...)
Lon-dubh a' seinn ann an dubhar na h-oidhche
tog do sgiathan brist' is èirigh suas
fad do rè, bha thu a' feitheamh airson an tìd' gu togail rithe.
thank you much for the lyrics.
Taing mhòr
Míle buíochas!
Beyonce has recorded this, and it's absolutely awful

This is what an angel's voice sounds like.
So true
This is the best rendition of Blackbird I have ever heard! Julie has such a beautiful voice! Thank you Julie for singing this wonderful song!
I am from Liverpool and The Beatles are my folk music and this is my favourite rendition too.

One of my favourite Beatles songs - sung beautifully by Julie Fowlis - in Scottish Gaelic! Sounds great!
"blackbird fly,....", your voice soared beautifully like a lark at that part of the song Julie! Like the others here I appreciate your commitment to the Gaelic language and music.
I heard of her when I was traveling in Scotland. She is one of my favorites.

Excellent interpretation . Julie is a fine singer
It's a beautiful,lyrical language....even though i can't claim to speak it...i understand it on a much deeper level than mere words.....it hits me in my very soul.... How can that not be good.....

Beautiful
John Lennon's original Gaelic surname, Ó 'Leannáin, can be translate as either "lover" or "BLACKBIRD".
Huh.
Learn something new everyday.
Wow. Either way pretty fitting.
O'Lonain is Blackbird
This song is McCartney's
@@oisinolochlainn4437 Blackbird is Lon Dubh
Astoundingly beautiful!
One of my favorite songs in any language.
I didn't think it possible to find a more perfect version than the original, but this is simply stunningly beautiful. Can you send me the guitar tab?!!
Excellent !
This is such a beautiful song. Amazing!!
This is so beautiful
Top vocals please keep them coming!!
Wow. This is beautiful.
Lovely sound !

Rest in peace little sister. I will always miss your sweet voice.
As always butiful
dammit Julie, stop making great music!
*I'm just kidding please keep making great music*
Lovely! Bought and shared!
this songs awesome, Julie, people love you!! no dis-likes, that's better reviews than the beatles get on this song. keep making this beautiful music; it obviously touches everyone who hears it, even if they can't understand it!!
Love it!
wonderful
This is the only recording of a Beatles tune that I like way more than the original.
Of course! Elton John's version of Lucy is a pretty good cover. It's got John on backing vocals, which helps.
Exactly my thoughts, dude. I sometimes picture Julie Fowlis as an elf and how perfect that would be.
This video has no dislikes! I've never seen that on youtube before, but I can't really say I'm surprised because the song is so great.
Sublime !

No idea what they are saying, but it doesn't even matter. It's just so dang beautiful!
George would be proud and heartbroken all at the same time. Thank you
George who?
TheOldHacker clooney
George Harrison, the guitarist of The Beatles and one of the writers of the original 'Blackbird'
It's a McCartney song (although credited to Lennon-McCartney on the White Album).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackbird_(Beatles_song)
Prabhat, you know very little about the Beatles. George was one of 3 guitarists + EC . Might be an idea to check things before commenting.
Beautiful ! :) I'm from Poland , and I'm learning Gaelic ( of course thanks to internet ). It's hard, but I'm trying to do my best , that language is really amazing !
A wonder and such things contain magic. x
I love her for promoting Scots Gaelic with her beautiful singing. Roddy McLeod.
It's a wonderful language, I'm in the process of learning it myself. :) Sure, it's hard sometimes, but I pull through and remind myself that I really do want to be able to speak Gaelic.
Just, Wow
God bless you you child xxxxxx
'Love it!
Wow, what a beautiful voice she has (and a beautiful woman too I might add).
Luv you xx
Great!
beautiful n.n
