    Today I learned that the regular vocative of "gille" (a ghille) is often shortened to "'ille" and that the vocative declension of "donn" in the masculine singular is "dhuinn".
    I learned it from this beautiful song and its wonderful performance and moments like this make me continue to learn the wonderful Gaelic language, even though I sometimes despair and I am on the verge of giving up. I hope that I will never really give up.
    Scottish Gaelic is alive: On the earth, in these great people, and in my own heart.

      Yes, you nailed it, vocative all right. Also "bhòidhich" is vocative declension of "bòidheach". Don't dare to give up learning scottish gaelic, or the each-uisge will rise from the loch and come and bite your feet when you sleep :)

    Another fine song I'll send to my elder Granddaughter in Germany. At just under 3 years she loves Celtic music. Guess my daughter raised her right.

    'ILLE DHUINN
    (Chorus, after each verse)
    O horo 'ille dhuinn / 'ille dhuinn bhòidhich
    O horo 'ille dhuinn
    Gura mise fo mhulad / giùlan cular Righ Deòrsa
    Mi ri giùlan a ghunna / ann an cuideachd a chòirneal
    Fhuair sinn òrdugh a bhi màrsadh / gu sràid nan ceum còmhnard
    Gu sràid nan ceum socrach / nach thogainn ar brògan
    Luchd nan còtaichean ruadha / ga'n cuir suas an deagh òrdugh
    Luchd nan còtaichean gearra / ga'n cuir thairis do'n Òlaind
    Gur h-ann feasgar Di-Sathairn / thug sinn cath a bha deònach
    B' iomadh té bha gun chéile / 'nam éirigh Di-Dòmhnaich
    Thoir uam soiridh thar mhonadh / gu Muile nam mòr-bheann
    O BROWN-HAIRED LAD
    (Chorus)
    O horo, brown-haired lad / brown-haired lad, handsome
    O horo, brown-haired lad
    There is sadness in me / carrying the colours of King George
    I am carrying a gun / at the colonel's company
    We got an order to march / to the even, flat streets
    To the easy steps streets / that wouldn't wear out our shoes
    Men in red coats / send them off in good order
    Men in short coats / send them over to Holland
    On a Saturday evening / we fought an awesome battle
    Many wives were left without spouse / at the break of dawn on Sunday
    Take my greeting over the hills / to Mull of the big mountains

      Thank you so much for providing the lyrics and translation. It seems the singer is just like the one in the song, a "handsome brown-haired lad".

    What a wonderful performance of this amazing song with its peculiar melodic patterns and rhythmic accentuations. Great to see young native speakers keep these treasures of traditional music alive. The accompaniment is also very well done.

      The singer, Alasdair Whyte, is a Scotsman, though. But I agree, it is beautifully sung.😉
