I love this song I remember going away from U.K.a for first time with school I had spent hours in my wheelchair by the time we got to the hotel and I was in pain my teacher started to sing and it helped a lot
Kathleen MacInnes and Sarah Jarosz? What an incredible duo! I feel so blessed to have heard this melody. This music must be preserved and nurtured. What a priceless cultural treasure!
Just saw Sarah last night in a venue where we were in the front of a balcony 30 feet from her. There really aren't words. She fills you up. Her two band members are stunning in their own right. Do see her if you can. I drove 5 hours to get there. Worth every minute.
The Transatlantic Sessions is such a wonderful collection of music. I first discovered Sarah when she shared and ACL episode with Steve Martin. Have followed her since.
@@timothygraham4304 bruh, songs are stories, and this makes you want to sing along, but you have no business butchering this ancient language if you don't know what it means.
@@timothygraham4304 but the song is bittersweet, it's a remarkable story you don't appreciate without the translation. Reminds me of the films Martin Guerre and Sommersby
Morag is sweet Chorus Morag is sweet Morag is nice Morag is sweet Young Eoghann's daughter Mòr is the beautiful one She is her mother's darling It is lulling her that is my choice of music Chorus I would be so happy at the shieling of the maidens If only Red-haired Norman was cold under the turf Chorus My thousand death-shrouds On the Frenchman When he let you come back to upset us Chorus

Does Sarah speak Irish (Gaelic), or did she learn it just for singing? It's so beautiful! I want to learn the language one day - I have been a HUGE fan of Celtic Woman ever since they began, over 11 years ago - I've been to see them many, many times, and I remain friends with Orla Fallon, who is one of the original memebers.
Yeah - I guess if she spoke the language, she would probably know the whole song! She's from Texas, you know, so probably didn't take Gaelic in high school! Ha! Ha!
Eines der schönsten Lieder, das ich je gehört habe. Meisterhaft vorgetragen. Grosses Kompliment.

Thats a rather beautiful thought
I love this song. Got to see Kathleen MacInnes on stage with Cathy McPhee on the Isle of Lewis, twas such a feast for the ears.
There's something about her voice that I find very appealing.

J ST i had this with julie fowlis, singing 10ft away from me. Watching me in the eyes! I fell in love
"Her two band members" being Aoife O'Donovan and Sara Watkins, specifically.
They are indeed a superb trio.
Incredibly beautiful. Amazing voices, amazing musicians, amazing melody. Thank you.
Effin' lovely and brilliant and full and pained and lovely. Sarah you are amazing. Thanks for all your beautiful work
Kathleen, your voice is just fantastic. Bail o Dhia ort .... le gach dea ghui.
This will never not be absolutely sublime. So much better than the original album version even!
The Transatlantic Sessions is such a wonderful collection of music.

Beautiful. I can’t understand it, but I so love Kathleen McInnes’ voice.
My God this is beautiful!
Very nice song. Tears come out feeling nostalgia.
Sgoinneil! Fantastisk! What a voice Kathleen McInnes has!
Exellente voix qui est en harmonie avec la belle musique 🎶
Lovely Kathleen!!
Beautiful, just.
Beautiful sing. Thanks!
What a magnificent piece, wonderful vocals, very good musicians and I never knew that Nollaig Casey could sing.
how can someone dislike this?!?
Absolutely lovely!
Beautifull voice and melody.
Exquisite!!! ❤❤❤
absolutely beautiful .....
Beautifull voice and melody. I do not understand Gelidh, but it sounds mysterious and sweet.
Mysterious indeed. In that beautiful song she's wishing her ex-husband dead, and cursing the French soldier who didn't kill him!

Nice to have a translation with the song now. Although nice is the wrong word if i see the translation. But the melody is still beautiful.
Do you need a translation? Beautiful sounds are beautiful sounds.

Blissful music!
❤️❤️❤️ beautiful in every way!
Oh my heart.
Morag is sweet
Chorus
Morag is sweet
Morag is nice
Morag is sweet
Young Eoghann's daughter
Mòr is the beautiful one
She is her mother's darling
It is lulling her
that is my choice of music
Chorus
I would be so happy
at the shieling of the maidens
If only Red-haired Norman
was cold under the turf
Chorus
My thousand death-shrouds
On the Frenchman
When he let you come back
to upset us
Chorus
it tears at your heart strings
A pretty song and sweet like Morag.
I don't know what she is saying but it's beautiful. I'm probably not the first person to mention that fact, but damn, that is class!

Bravo.
Pure ecstacy!

click on "show more".... and pray you aren't either Norman or French ;)
Alba abú!
Go hálainn ar fad...
Just to be totally different to everyone else, let me say - nothing's ever good that has the phrase "mo mhìle marbhfhaisg" in it, is it?
Is this sung in Gaelic?
Yes, Scottish gàidhlig

who are the instrumentalists please.
Aly Bain and Nollaig Casey (violin), Danny Thompson (upright bass), Jerry Douglas (lap steel)
i should have known Aly Bain, thank you!!
Michael McGoldrick in flute
And Donald Shaw on - keyboard - or hasn't he had enough to put up with, to warrant inclusion. Shallow people. A shining talent through the years.

I guess Sarah just learned the chorus lyrics :)

Hi Beverly they are singing in Scottish Gaelig it close to Irish with a little difference Both sound lovely in traditional music
Yes, it's a beautiful language! Thank you so much for the information!
It’s not Irish. It’s Scottish Gaelic.
