Lyrics: Lon-dubh a' seinn ann an dubhar na h-oidhche tog do sgiathan brist' is èirigh suas fad do rè, bha thu a' feitheamh airson an tìd' gu togail rithe. Lon-dubh a' seinn ann an dubhar na h-oidhche, tog an sgàil bho d' shùil is seall gu geur fad do rè, bha thu a' feitheamh airson an tioc a bhios tu saor. Lon-dubh sgèith, lon-dubh sgèith, Steach dhan t-sòlas dubh na h-oidhche. (Blackbird fly, blackbird, fly, fly..... into the light, dark black night...) Lon-dubh a' seinn ann an dubhar na h-oidhche tog do sgiathan brist' is èirigh suas fad do rè, bha thu a' feitheamh airson an tìd' gu togail rithe.
Saw her live just about a month ago. Amazing performance. Like, literally melt-your-face-off good. After, she was just hanging out up front chatting with fans as if it was nothing. People like her inspire me to try harder and accomplish more with my life.
it is the first song I heard Julie sing several years ago and I have loved her since. We watched the programme on BBC Alba last night, May 14, and it was excellent and such a range of styles from musicians known to us and some I did not know like Rodrigo and Gabriela in Mexico. This is a very talented lady and her Scots Gaelic just reminds me of the strong bonds that link Ireland with Scotland. Maith thú, Julie!
I'm Australian with the vast majority of my ancestry being Scot, in a way i feel like i'm connecting with ancestor's when i listen to this, i feel like i'm coming home.
A beautiful voice ,what a gift , There are about a hundred thousand people who speak this language including a few in Cape Breton NS. Julie makes ii magic
I love hearing this in the beautiful Scot Gaelic. It makes me want to return to my ancestral lands where this Celt woman's heart can soar in the Highland mist.
I do not speak or understand Scottish Gaelic but the first time I herd Julie sing this it brought tears to my eyes. Her oice Conveyed the feeling beautifully She has a gift and she uses it well
"blackbird fly,....", your voice soared beautifully like a lark at that part of the song Julie! Like the others here I appreciate your commitment to the Gaelic language and music.
I didn't think it possible to find a more perfect version than the original, but this is simply stunningly beautiful. Can you send me the guitar tab?!!
Glad that the algorithm recommended this video to me. I can't understand a single word of this song. I don't know what language that was even. But that doesn't matter because her voice is just wonderful.
It's a beautiful,lyrical language....even though i can't claim to speak it...i understand it on a much deeper level than mere words.....it hits me in my very soul.... How can that not be good.....
Few covers of this song can approach the near-perfection of Macca's original, but this is right up there. Wonderful reinterpretation, and though the "like" numbers currently suggest that there are 5 sourpusses out there, they are justly and vastly way outnumbered by the approbation.
One of the largest Gaelic speaking communities on the planet is in Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island and the language is Scots Gaelic. It isn't always the availability of others who speak the language for those who want to learn it, the key to culture is always language.
Wow. Julie is truly incredible. I learned the song as a guitar solo a few years back, and have always thought it was one of the most touching songs I'd heard. Hearing it in Gaelic takes it a hundred times further into my weeping heart. @pduffy 1943, thank you for putting up a version of Gaelic. I am going to try to learn it. I don't know Gaelic, shame on me, but I can copy it if I can hear and see the phrases at the same time. Terrible accent, but Utahms wont know! wow.
this songs awesome, Julie, people love you!! no dis-likes, that's better reviews than the beatles get on this song. keep making this beautiful music; it obviously touches everyone who hears it, even if they can't understand it!!
I want to learn Gaelic. It's an amazing idiom, so sweet and aaaaaaaahhhh I just love it..... I'll learn it, I promise... -I speak italian, russian and english... Gaelic is one of my favourite, but here, in Argentina, is very strange find someone who speak this awesome language.
