Òran Gàidhlig na Seachdain #1

A' Phiuthrag 'sa Phiuthar le Julie Fowlis

Oh Little Sister, Beloved Sister - a song about searching for someone who has been stolen away by the fairies. The animation makes it look like a metaphor for bereavement and grief

Gràdh Geal Mo Chridhe [lyrics]- Mary Chapin Carpenter, Julie Fowlis, Karine Polwart

Ged nach eil sinn fhathat pòsda Tha mi an dòchas gum bi Fhad agus a mhaireas mo dha dhorn  cha bhith lòn oirnn a dhìth. Although we are not yet married I hope that we will be As long as my two fists endure we will want for nothing.

summary:

Beagan bhliadhnaichean air ais, thòisich Brian buidheann seinn aig an àite-obrach aige. Seo aon de na h-òrain a b’ fheàrr leis na buill. The very first time we heard this song sung by Johnny Flynn and Laura Marling we were entranced by its beauty and also intrigued as to hear how it might sound in Gaelic.

lyrics: Gàidhlig translation by Brian Ó hEadhra.

Chan eil ann ach an abhainn a th’ agam A th’ agam mar dhachaigh nam chridh’ Leig an anam mu sgaoil Nam bheatha ‘s nam shaoghal Cuir fodha mo chorp a tha sgìth The water sustains me without even trying The water can't drown me, I’m done With my dying Thig thugam is togamaid eathar Fear a bhios math air an t-sruth Air an abhainn cho làn Is na h-èisg a tha ann Mo bhuidheachas don bhàta ‘s a chriuth’ A’ seòladh gu luath air an abhainn ’S a buinne gam ghiùlan gu bras Tha na reultan gu h-àrd Is an t-òran san adhar Is am fonn airson siubhlaiche gast’ Now the land that I knew is a dream And the line on the distance grows faint So wide is my river The horizon a sliver The artist has run out of paint Far an dlùthaich a’ mhuir ris an speur Leanaidh mise a’ ghrian mhòr is bhuidh’ Anns gach àite is gach fonn Tha ‘n t-slighe na miann Is an anail sa ghaoith is gach nì original English: All that I have is a river The river is always my home Lord, take me away For I just cannot stay Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones The water sustains me without even trying The water can’t drown me, I'm done With my dying Please help me build a small boat One that’ll ride on the flow Where the river runs deep And the larger fish creep I'm glad of what keeps me afloat Now deeper the water I sail And faster the current I'm in That each night brings the stars And the song in my heart Is a tune for the journeyman's tale Now the land that I knew is a dream And the line on the distance grows faint So wide is my river The horizon a sliver The artist has run out of paint Where the blue of the sea meets the sky And the big yellow sun leads me home I'm everywhere now The way is a vow To the wind of each breath by and by

Buidheann mo chridhe Clann-Ualraig Bheireadh iad suas na h-iomainean Bheireadh iad crodh dhe na buailtean 'S chuireadh iad sluagh bho chinneachadh
