Bothy Band -- Fionnghuala 

Guilty.

@@nikolaibaughman8828 worth the trip,too be sure!

yo

Yup

Here!

I'm in my 70s and their music still gives me goosebumps after nearly 50 years.

When I was a kid I definitely heard lines about "then she got in the shower" 😆

This sounds like another “Louie, Louie” where everyone has their own lyrics that aren’t right but think they are

....."bowling with a fiddle"

Ha, I’m Irish, take insult easily, but split my sides at that comment, well done

yellin in am bowlin boll ...more like ;)

😂😂😂

@Knickertwist Copperby I presume you mean the guy I'm referring to?

I hope he sees this too!!! Shame, Dave, SHAME! 😂

@@jimboswamps5602 thanks for the support 😁

Same

Agus Eire , don’t forget where the language comes from amhrain gaeilge le gaidhlig e, Eire agus Alba abu !

I know what you mean.

It's actually an harmonic adaption of a traditional fishermen's work song from the isle of Barra, thus Scott's gaelic I presume. Not sure if the Irish groups pronounce it right, as every performer I've heard mumbles it differently. You can find different and additional verses plus translations on the net if you google.

@@hark1222 I think this is actually a translation into irish ...not sure tho

the tune is originally from scotland ....yes there is a huge choral tradition in ireland but actually many different singing styles

Look below. Already given.

With great difficulty

😂😂😂

+Max Moore Well its traditional and virtuosic so (imho) not really meant for sheet. The chorus is 4/4 though and the rest I've seen noted in variants of 8/8, 12/8, 9/8 ...

+Hugo Leeney the chorus basicly says island of the bothy island of the fingals

+Max Moore Ludicrous speed.

1976 according to another comment

+Jack Scott Is as Gaeilge na hAlban (Gaidhlig) é. Ach mar tá an bunnús ag an dhá theanga an teanga féin (Meán-Ghaeilge) tá siad cosúil le chéile. Bhí comhrá agam fiú idir mise agus bhean a labhairt Gaeilge na hAlaban ar an idirlíon gan aon fhocal Béarla.

is as alban ni erineach e

Is as Albain an t-amhrán.

Yes the song is Scottish, calm down we are not trying to claim it but merely celebrate our mutual Gaelic culture

+Lazy Spark That's our native tongue they are singing lol, but funny never the less

Feidhelm Ó Foghladha Now that you mention it that is a "dickish" comment, so sorry. But, the language doesn't sound like that, just the way this band sings it in this song.

They're an Irish band, but they're singing in Scottish Gaelic here.

TA TU AMADAN THIS IS IRISH as in IRELAND not Scottish 2 different countries

Ní amadán ar bith é. Jake Browning is right. It is a Gàidhlig song and they sing it in Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic).

+Paul Lavan The Bothy Band formed in 1975. Clannad formed in 1970 (and their harmonies are superb, in my humble opinion). I don't think either of the two bands "got the harmonies" from the other . I suppose instead that they were both just part of bigger tradition.
