O Noble Youth Who Has Left Me / Julie Fowlis

[jtull81]

@tsir266 The guy left of Julie (Julie's right) is Donal Lunny who is playing a bouzouki. You may know already, but I think Donal has greece to thank for inventing the instrument thousands(?) of years ago. Check out Donal and Andy Irvine playing 'The Blind Harper' on youtube to see 2 bouzoukis! watch?v=yJIKcfKdBUI

[michal18c]

fantastic, it's nice song and playing

[GenZoo333]

I don't know how I arrived here, but I just can't stop listening to this angel singing and warming my heart in this cold winter day, with me not understanding a single word. It's like a magical spell. You can't understand anything but you feel the magic! :)

[michal18c]

@GenZoo333 you have absolutely right

[SaxJockey]

Beautiful song, beautiful lady - what's not to like!

[Claypool62]

I thank myself for finding this video! ;)

[tsir266]

I am from Greece and i don't understand the Gaeilic, but for some reason and i don't know that reason, this music talk to my soul and to my heart. When i hear it, my thought traveling to Scotland and Ireland and the strange is i never been there. Go on up there. Greetings from the south(My english are poor, so forgive me for my mistakes).

[Cannychanta]

@tsir266 Going to Scotland or Ireland may be a good idea, depending on how your politicians vote today. Actually Greek music sometimes touches the soul too.

[stevebloodymckenna]

Gaeilic is such a beautiful language, and Julie has such a beatiful voice for singing it!

[sk8er448]

Beautiful song, love the voice with the instruments . I wished that I knew Scottish Gaelic.

[armaghlore]

draiocht ar fad

[antibulletdodger101]

man, she´s georgous.. and how the hell did I end up here.. might as well stay

[duerksjv]

Never let this kind of music die from the earth. That's the day my spirit dies.

[armcelt]

When I opened the video the first I thought was about concerning her elfish appearance! Then I saw how many people felt the same!

[MrCoast21]

[brandoboe]

This is so beautiful! 

[EvaUjhelyi]

Caimbeulach òg oirre shiubhal

'S nach fhaigh mi baisteadh an Uibhist

Gu ruig mi fear a' chùil bhuidhe

Chum thu air deireadh air chàch mi

[EvaUjhelyi]

@EvaUjhelyi sorry, i do not speak Irish, can you tell me in Ennglish, please? Éva

[EvaUjhelyi]

Lyrics: Oganaich ùir a rinn m' fhàgail Sèist: Chorus (after each verse): Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho Chum thu air deireadh air chàch mi Gun fhios dha m'athair no m' mhàthair Gun fhios dham phiuthar no m' bhràithair A bhean ud thall aig a chuibhle Fhios agad fhèin mar a tha mo chridhe

[EvaUjhelyi]

[salfordruffryder]

Ha ha get ur ears tested dec u ain't got a clue

[BAC1954]

She is not an angel tho' she may sound like one, but the best of Scottish humanity.To think we nearly lost this culture.

[777azathoth]

how beautiful is this? she has the voice of an angel

[drumandrokid]

BUEN VIAJE LUIS

[vraimentmaladroite]

She is more than just pretty. Look how enchanted her fellow musicians are! Not that I could disagree with their awe at this lady. If she looked into my eyes as she smiled and sang, my heart would also melt.

[LittleRusalochka]

She's so pretty She looks like a Fairy. Stunning voice!

[guyfihi]

I live in Sacramento California and we don't get this kind of quality music on our television here. You folks are lucky to have BBC in London. I hear that Julie plays the states, so if she ever comes here, I will surely go see her

[craigymac60]

yes, it is Gaelic ( gal - ick) , I love this you should listen to her other songs...musical elf! I mean that in a kind way! I live in London now but like my daily serving of quality Gaelic music !

[guyfihi]

Is this song in Scots Gaelic? It seems a little different than Irish Gaelic. what a beautiful lady with a beautiful voice. Just fantastic.

[cjm2005]

I have absolutely no idea what she's singing, but she sings it exquisitely, and she's beautiful to look at. bonus.

[geoac]

Whoever thought about this idea needs to be awarded recognition!

[shangrigreige]

<3

[twotwists1]

[pianomama1635]

She's so fresh and natural - I love the way her eyes smile when she plays the penny whistle. The whole group is wonderful!

[jpgburley]

@pianomama1635 she could have any man eating out of her hand. beautiful.

[Gramps1975]

Beautiful!

[14bo0357]

Beautiful song, and Julie Fowlis is enchanting.

[dadgad888]

so good!!

[novacanis]

i really like that tune, full of memories of ireland and scotland.

[plemochoe]

Bruce, you have the lyrics in Gaelic, if you just learn the repeating line you're 75% of the way there

[JulianTheRanger]

@poxrider Blarney Castle does exist, fool. It's in Cork and was built 600 years ago by the Irish chieftain Cormac MacCarthy and is one of Ireland's greatest landmarks. Please stop acting like a ignorant six year old.

[RusRPGamer]

Fantastic!!!

[eretic57]

hi all - i bought the TRANSATLANTIC SESSIONS dvd - we can hear lady Julie Fowlis and so many other wonderfull players and singers, tunes and some rare experiences - it s a little expensive (care, it s in £) but it s worth - hours of pure drop, true jewels of my collection now

[TheStrii]

The cold rough lands outside, a warm fire in the hearth in a small thatched cottage in the highlands, a few elderly clansmen playing traditional instruments whilst a lass sings age-old songs. The embodiment of Gaelic culture. Perfect.

[Raichu234]

She is amazing :D I love her voice! x

[lindylola48]

Go Julie!

[helmuthoorn]

Real Western European music and culture.

Ancient, but still alive and kicking

[littlegibby148]

IS THERE A RECORDED VERSION OF THIS SONG??????

[ChirpyCanuck]

@littlegibby148 yup you can buy it on Itunes

[johanjuckers]

Dit is een elf en klinkt ook zo chickenskin!!!

[Adalnascimento]

Maravilhoso! A força da cultura celta na voz de Julie Fowlis.

Para poucos, de bom gosto.

[Lisnageeragh]

Lovey singing ...very musical ...the best! lacking in pretensions.

[Lisnageeragh]

Lovey singing ...very musical ...the best!

[u3of52]

Great, but where is the jaw-harp? :)

[aandybandy11]

if there is a more wonderful video on you tube i have yet to find it, beautiful lady, beautiful song : )

[solariis888]

Wow...

[blitzburgh212]

SHE IS JUST BEAUTIFUL, AND HER VOICE IS JUST SO ENCHANTING! DOES SHE EVER TOUR THE STATES?

[SikizuYukia]

I think there's a reason why no one dislikes this video. ;)

[Arse2611]

New folk obsession. I'd love to find a Scottish Gaelic pronunciation guide so I could attempt to sing along. Just mumbling at the moment. Still awesome though.

[Dainathian]

@Arse2611 but the album. all of the gaelic is in the booklet that comes with it : )

[Raichu234]

beautiful. love her so much. Divine music x

[thetangerinepanda]

I'm sure this poor woman despises references to her "elfin quality" She's beautiful and her smile, like her voice, is perfect.

[MarkOpee1]

Again I have to say: this is grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrreat!!!

[connchisannchez]

I love Juli Fowlis's songs.

[TheCrosaidi]

Tá glór álainn aici 'gus is bean dóighiúil ar fad í

[cocoliso61]

Sencilla pero excelente canción. La cantante, insuperable.

[jwilliam2255]

Thanks for posting this in high-res!

[surfer1124]

Transatlantic Sessions is where it's at, and Julie Fowlis is a beauty.

[arkhatych]

When ever I see Julie Fowlis I know there is hope to hear good music! God bless you Dear Julie Fow;is

[mobilechief]

She has a gift about her!

[misteranonymousguy]

She has an Elfin quality about her, lovely.

[mobilechief]

@misteranonymousguy One must love that Language, Beautiful !

[Lucarius1]

@misteranonymousguy

who is to say that she isn't an elfin?

[DaniMannequin]

@misteranonymousguy "Elven" not "Elfin"

[pianomama1635]

@DaniMannequin

"elfin" is perfectly acceptable and a very apt description of Julie!

.elfin [ˈɛlfɪn]

adj

1. of, relating to, or like an elf or elves

2. small, delicate, and charming

[DonegalRaymie201]

@misteranonymousguy

I know, she should have played Galadriel in the "Lord of the Rings", she'd have been perfect! And didn't Tolkien base Elfish tongue on Gaelic anyway?(Okay, I think it was Welsh, but SHOULD have been Gaelic!)

[Thief123xx]

Excellent ..She looks and sounds so amazing :)
