The Mingulay Boat Song - Amurnaidh

[versie18]

No not Frisian, but Grunnegers. Frisians and Grunnegers are the same as Ost-Friezen and Bayern in Germany or The Welsh and the English in the UK. It means: We live in the same country , but we are different !

I really love this!!

I made a translation into a Northern Dutch Dialect. It's titeled:

Noar Muntndam tou !!

Thank you for your comment. Did you translate to Frisian?

[tehbunnei]

Good song, but terribly pitchy singers.

[twillick]

Excellent version. 

[fongchaynun]

Great version. Feel like I'm standing on the quay at Mallaig, watching the sun set, with a glass of The Balvenie waiting for me.

[eddiemacdonalduk]

Absolutely f*****G BRILLIANT.

Does the song justice in a way the original participants would truly appreciate.

Great job men, that was beautiful

[Lossieloon306]

Thats a right good song and some right aul photies, of an era long gone. I just hope the EU dinna screw, what boats are left fishing.

The rendition is just perfect! Excellent melody, vocals and instrumentals. It just really carrries you away. Thanks ffor the music and the lyrics - the words just run so true and deep...

Thanks RAIV99, glad you like it. The lyrics I'm singing are... What care we though, white The Minch is What care we for wind and weather Heel ya ho boys, every inch is Bringing us nearer to Mingulay Wives are waiting by the quayside They've been there since the break of day-o Heel ya ho boys, pull your oars hard 'Ere the sun sets on Mingulay When the wind is wild and wailing And the waves mount ever higher Anxious eyes turn ever seaward To see us home boys to Mingulay

[RAIV99]

Cheers!

Would you happen to have the lyrics? The ones I find everywhere do not match, this is my fav version and there're certain words that I cannot distinguish...
