I love that tune so much, and you did a great job singing it! So haunting is the melody, wish my Gaelic was better! Slainte, Gloria🎼🎶🎼🎶

+Gloria Garcia Thank-you Gloria! Would it be helpful for me to put the translation of the words into the information box below the video?

@gloriagarcia7003 8 лет назад

+Christy-Lyn's music oh yes, if it's not too much trouble, placing the translation of the Gaelic in a box below would be very nice! I had an aunt from County Mayo, Ireland, who spoke in the "Irish" but it's long been forgotten by all of us. Thank you!🎶🎶🎼

@@gloriagarcia7003 The boatman Often I look from the highest hill To find whether I can see the boatman. Will you come today or will you come tomorrow? And if you don't come at all I will be miserable. O, boatman, "na horo eile" O, boatman, "na horo eile" O, boatman, "na horo eile" Fare well, good health be with you everywhere you go. My heart is bruised and broken And often the tears run from my eyes Will you come tonight or will I be expecting you or will I close the door with a mournful sigh. My darling promised me a gown of silk He promised that and an elegant plaid A golden ring in which I would see his1 image but I'm afraid he will forget. From now on I shall be mournfully tearful, Like a white swan which has been sorely wounded, Having a death cry on a little grassy lake when all have forsaken her. lyricstranslate.com/en/fear-bhata-boatman.html

Fhir a' Bhàta (Oh, my Boatman) I climb the mountain and scan the ocean, For thee, my boatman, with fond devotion; When shall I see thee? Today? Tomorrow? Oh! Do not leave me in lonely sorrow. Oh my boatman, la la la la la, Oh my boatman, la la la la la; Oh my boatman, la la la la la, So fare thee well, love, where ere you be. That thou'rt a rover my friends have told me, But not the less to my heart I hold thee; And every night in my dream I see thee, And still at dawn will the visions flee me. Oh my boatman, la la la la la, Oh my boatman, la la la la la; Oh my boatman, la la la la la, So fare thee well, love, where ere you be. My lover promised to bring his lady, A silken gown and a tartan plaidie; A ring of gold which would show his semblance, But, ah! I fear me for his remembrance. Oh my boatman, la la la la la, Oh my boatman, la la la la la; Oh my boatman, la la la la la, So fare thee well, love, where ere you be.

@LearningtheHarp 6 лет назад

Aw, thanks for the thought :) There was an audience of a few thousand and it's an outdoor venue where people are eating etc, so this was actually pretty quiet compared to the rest of the show! The camera always seems to exaggerate the noise when recording...

@kelharper7971 6 лет назад

Good luck with that. No-body gives a shit about something as "boring" as a person singing a song a capella. There's no no loud beat, no flashing lights, no heavy riffs, nobody grinding, no interest. THey have more interestoing things to worry about, like eating and talking about what's on TV.

@orfeassiozos1575 4 года назад

@@liwerd1016 Hi! We sing many simple folk songs, most are in English. There are a few in other languages, such as Scottish Gaelic (like this song), Hebrew and Latin! The singing happens over Zoom every Sunday at 1pm ET usually. When you enter your microphone is muted, so you can hear only yourself and the host of the choir and so that we don't all hear each other. You can find more information on the host's Twitter account here: twitter.com/caspertk/status/1250056772292927496?s=19 Everyone is welcome and you don't have to have your camera on if you don't feel like it.

To be more accurate my Scottish ancestors from that area of Scotland around Edinburgh spoke a Brythonic celtic language (basically Welsh) before Scots evolved and then finally English with a Scottish accent. Good to hear the language of the West coast and Isles side of my heritage though (Scots Gaelic) Let hope the Celtic languages live on!
