@@dannymcintyre3819 regrettably neither me nor my mother speak Gaelic. It is still a treat to hear these songs performed so well the language so entwined with the melody.
Beautiful version of this lovely song. Tears at the heartstrings. Love Calum’s version but Robert‘s is equally good. Have listened to it about 20 times and it gets me every time 💖💖💖
I chanced across this video and was absolutely stunned by the singing. I left Scotland 43 years ago but have never lost my love of Scottish music. What a voice and lovely rendition of this beautiful song.
My granny was a Gael from North Uist, she used to sing this to me as a child. Sadly she is gone, but when I hear this beautiful song, she is still alive. Wonderful performance Robert, thanks so much.
A stunning rendition of this most beautiful of Gaelic songs. This version surpasses Calum’s previously unrivalled interpretation in my opinion. Taing mhòr.
Thoir mo shoraidh nunn thar chuantan Gu mo mhàthair, ’s fhada bhuam i; Cha chùm astar mòr a‘ chuain a gaol o m’ chridh’. ‘S i rinn m’ altram ’s mi nam phàiste ‘S ann na gràdh a fhuair mi m’ àrach; O, chan fhàillinnich gu bràth mo spèis-sa dhi. [Sèist] Tha mo smuaintean oirr’ nam dhùsgadh; Na mo chadal tha i dlùth dhomh; Tha i daonnan air mo chùram anns gach nì. ’S tha a pearsa aoigheil shunndach Na mo shùilean fad na h-ùine; ‘S e bhith faighinn null d’ a h-ionnsaigh rùn mo chridh’. Nuair a chuimhnicheas mi m’ òige Is an gaol a thug i dhòmhsa, Thig na deòir a ruith gu deònach bho mo chridh’. Bidh a fair’ orm is a cùram Nuair a bha mise nam naoidhean Dùsgadh iarrtais bhith a cluinntinn fuaim a bil’. Chì mi bothan ’n glaic nan gleanntan, Seasgair, sàmhach, blàth sa gheamhradh; ‘S tric a’ ruith mi cas-ruisgt‘, ceann-ruisgt’ feadh na tìr. ‘S ma gheibh mise dhachaigh sàbhailt’ Dh‘ionnsaigh ’n tìr san d‘fhuair mi m’ àrach, Gheibh mi fàilte chridheil, chàirdeil ann is sìth. Ged a tha i nis fàs aosda, O, cha lughdaich siud mo ghaol-sa Do ‘n tè ’s gràdhaiche san t-saoghal mhòr rium fhìn. ’S nuair a ruigeas mise broilleach San robh mo cheann beag tric a’ falach, Gheibh mi aoibhneas agus sonas ‘m blàths a cridh’. Ged a tha mi seo air faondradh Ann an tìr taobh thall an t-saoghail, ‘S ged tha cuantan sgaoilte eadar mise ’s i. ’S e mo dhùrachd a dhol dhachaigh Gu mo mhàthair anns a’ chlachan ‘S a bhith ’g ailleis bhith nam bhalach beag a-rìs.

Written by my Great Grandfather Neil Maclean The Govan Bard. This is a phenomenal version.
We are indebted to him for such a fantastic song.
Thanks Ian. A bheil Gàidhlig agaibh?

I'm hearing Elvis
Thoir mo shoraidh nunn thar chuantan
Gu mo mhàthair, ’s fhada bhuam i;
Cha chùm astar mòr a‘ chuain a gaol o m’ chridh’.
‘S i rinn m’ altram ’s mi nam phàiste
‘S ann na gràdh a fhuair mi m’ àrach;
O, chan fhàillinnich gu bràth mo spèis-sa dhi.
[Sèist]
Tha mo smuaintean oirr’ nam dhùsgadh;
Na mo chadal tha i dlùth dhomh;
Tha i daonnan air mo chùram anns gach nì.
’S tha a pearsa aoigheil shunndach
Na mo shùilean fad na h-ùine;
‘S e bhith faighinn null d’ a h-ionnsaigh rùn mo chridh’.
Nuair a chuimhnicheas mi m’ òige
Is an gaol a thug i dhòmhsa,
Thig na deòir a ruith gu deònach bho mo chridh’.
Bidh a fair’ orm is a cùram
Nuair a bha mise nam naoidhean
Dùsgadh iarrtais bhith a cluinntinn fuaim a bil’.
Chì mi bothan ’n glaic nan gleanntan,
Seasgair, sàmhach, blàth sa gheamhradh;
‘S tric a’ ruith mi cas-ruisgt‘, ceann-ruisgt’ feadh na tìr.
‘S ma gheibh mise dhachaigh sàbhailt’
Dh‘ionnsaigh ’n tìr san d‘fhuair mi m’ àrach,
Gheibh mi fàilte chridheil, chàirdeil ann is sìth.
Ged a tha i nis fàs aosda,
O, cha lughdaich siud mo ghaol-sa
Do ‘n tè ’s gràdhaiche san t-saoghal mhòr rium fhìn.
’S nuair a ruigeas mise broilleach
San robh mo cheann beag tric a’ falach,
Gheibh mi aoibhneas agus sonas ‘m blàths a cridh’.
Ged a tha mi seo air faondradh
Ann an tìr taobh thall an t-saoghail,
‘S ged tha cuantan sgaoilte eadar mise ’s i.
’S e mo dhùrachd a dhol dhachaigh
Gu mo mhàthair anns a’ chlachan
‘S a bhith ’g ailleis bhith nam bhalach beag a-rìs.
Bha sin math gu dearbh!
I tried to post the English translation but it doesn’t seem to work
He has a sound of Donnie Munro on this song
Much belter actually
I thought the same when I first heard him sing.
damn, he was hot at uni and he's hotter now
Utterly fabulous
