Sanseptique Set - Fiona Kennedy and Karen Matheson

[hoppyhayes]

My people were Scot-Irish and I dearly wished that they would have passed down the Old language to thier decents. Im an old man now and on my last leg, one thing I truly regret, I never went to Ireland and Scotland. Maybe if God is willing I'll be born in Ireland on the next go round. Up the Irish and up the U.S.A.

lyrics?



[Breiavis]

nice :D

[Fluticus]

Scots Gaelic. Odd language. Good singing tho.

[LauraBethEliza]

@Fluticus What? Odd? It's epic!

[NorthLimitation]

'S ioma' rud a dhìth orm - A dh' fheumainn fhìn mu'n pòsainn!!

[MsDragon53]

This song is so wonderful it could call out the fairies.

[56neptune]

Great stuff tomt but do you have This Land by Fiona?

[mhicnanolc]

Thank you Tomtscotland! You never fail to post good stuff!

[amc3]

nice song...both karen and fiona have great voices.

[SaulDelKer]

hey look at my profile

how did they do that 3m

[weeweelegs]

love this, my feet are away on their own

[ally21uist]

Very Much Enjoyed!! I really like Karen's solo section, Both Great Singers but I think I prefer Karen's Style over Fions's!! :)

[Alexmcgruer3]

I trust Fiona Kennedy is the blonde lady.

Her voice is extraordinary as is Karen Mathesons.

I should like to hear more from each.

If they should ever visit St.John's Newfoundland Canada, the Ship Inn could find a space for them.

Fiona and Karen you are great.

[mhicnanolc]

That song would fit in quite well back home in NS too!

[AlexMcGruer]

Cape Breton. More Scottish than Scotland.

[mhicnanolc]

Yup, though I'd also include Pictou and Antigonish as being "more Scottish than Scotland"! LOL

[VGibs]

hahaha This is SO true....I performed this song in Nova Scotia and got a huge response!!!

[scunnerd25]

fiona ur face lites up when u singing aboot yer ain

[Aislig9]

mamajw2 it is also good to get gaelic teach yourself books. It helped me a lot because it explains how Gaelic works.

[mamajw2]

Could you point me in the right direction? I have been searching but it is really hard to find in Saskatchewan.

[cosinbrother]

you will find celtic language links on my channel. :)

[Aislig9]

The song Karen sings appears on the song Finlays, truly the sound of Gaeldom

[pmsmeister]

This is so beautiful, and I have to say it has truly captured my imagination. <3

[yvonnemurray]

Excellent....FK a bit annoying on this though, maybe its because she looks like Easyjet customer services staff

[tomtscotland]

miaow!

[yvonnemurray]

Lol, whoops :-p

[animalunaris]

Oh that just made me laugh....;)

:O

[Schrodinger2equation]

Agreed.......I'll stick with Karen..she has the gift....Fiona should look to doing weather on the late news....she has a good voice, but a a .......

well enough said from over the pond.

[animalunaris]

I have to admit, I've always loved Karen but I didn't think she could beat Julie Fowlis for scary speed of singing, it appears I was wrong!

[mamajw2]

I am trying to learn the language and I was told once that a good way is to listen to music and read the paper in the chosen language. Becasue it is hard for me to read without hearing the words said I try to find the words to these songs and I watch the singers' mouths when they sing. I am trying but it is taking a long time,if you have any suggestions on literature that has the spelling and the phonetic pronuncitation of the gealic laanguage please pass it on.

[animalunaris]

Have you considered formal lessons? Sabhal Mor Ostaig does a good distance learning course.

[Schrodinger2equation]

P.S.

On your travells, visit an old song;

The Bonnie Ship the Diamond.

Take with you a novel, unrelated, but brilliant. Walter Scott,, The Heart of Midlothian.

[Schrodinger2equation]

Yes.

It seems you are on a journey; as I have seen from your requests on other postings.

Enjoy it. A good place to start would be

Wikipedia and search Scottish Gaelic.

This will provide a portal. Where you sail from there is left to your interest and imagination.

[mamajw2]

Does anyone know where I can find the words and translation for this song?

[aodh78]

The songs your looking for are known as 'Domhnall dubh an Domnallaich' and 'Thoir a nall Ailean thugam' Google should help, if not the Capercaillie web site.

[Schrodinger2equation]

Yes.

Sorry aodh78,

It was intended for mamajw2 as above.

But I hope all will enjoy the reference.
