  • Sublime interprétation. Merci tomtscotland.

  • It's also on "The Blood is Strong." Thanks for answering. It's nice to know thee's more than one rendition.

  • What album is this from? I want to find it on Itunes.

  • @kingsdaughter2011 , you will find it in the album 'an introduction to Capercaillie' on i-tunes, but not this version of it

  • I wonder, are the gaelic words roughly the same is the English? Very beautiful. Look for Niamh Parsons singing it in the Irish.

  • Sem duvida, tem Nordestinos com sangue celta - este olhos claros que vocâ encontra onde você não espera - dos gallegos e dos outros celtas.

    Viva o Brasil e Escócia!

  • Unique performance !! Nearly a capella and so beautiful !! Phalaïna

  • for the most strange it may seem, this song reminds me of my homeland and the sad tunes by luiz gonzaga. but hey, many people in northeastern brazil might have a drop of celtic blood, right?

  • Amei !!

  • Celts Rule!!

  • This song skins me!

  • @camposi I know..such a simple tune...and yet....it breaks the heart!

  • @allisonforfornsed Nice taste in music Allison

  • I love her so much, born in Scotland but brought up from the age of 5 in Australia, Karens voice takes me home, i may not understand my Native Tongue but... My Soul Does.... evidenced by the tears that trickle down my face.

    ℒℴνℯ☆Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒღ//(◡‿◡)\\ღƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨­̄Ʒ☆ℒℴνℯ

  • my favourite song from the CD "the blood is strong!" Love you Karen!

  • I like Connie Dover's version better..... but this one is nice as well

  • The song is about a woman who waits on top of a hill for her lovers boat to return. He never arrives and she often asks other sailors about him... to which the reply that she has had it and must be kidding herself if she thinks he is coming back

  • To the Painter of this videa. Well done, but as you know so well, I have no money of worth. Just thanks.

  • Just saw Karen sing this at Shrewsbury Folk Festival with Moya Brennan and Cathy Jordan... it doesn't get better than that.

  • @miekhead omg, when i read your comment i almost cried, why i am not there, i love all of them! Karen, Moya and Cathy together wow....

    people there is very lucky to have such great voices giving concerts

  • @Steph9737 It was a surprise - Karen was a guest for Dervish as was Moya because they were celebrating their 21st anniversary. I did cry... just a wee bit.

  • Saw Capercaillie last night at the Piping Live! concert at the Glasgow Concert Hall. Loved this song and wondered if i would be able to get a recording. Could only guess the spelling of its title. Thank you so much for posting it and for the lyrics. God to understand what the song is about. You wouldn't be able to post them in Gaelic too?

    I'm off to look for a recording on iTunes. Thanks again!
