Capercaillie - Am Buachaille Ban

HOLY CRAP! My grandmother used to sing this at her An commun Gaidhlig group here on the other side of the world in NZ! She was a good scottish woman and had an amazing voice. I remember this song very well but havent heard it for years! many thanks

Greatest first line ever: "ochon a Rìgh, gur tinn an galar an gràdh"... O King of Heaven, love is a terrible affliction.

Sweet! I love this song! I have this in the Corrs Irish version and from Celtic Thunder. Awesome.

Mian Fearr my family and friends,

I worked out the guitar chords to this beautiful song and would like to share them. Enjoy playing and singing if you like, and use a capo to change the key if necessary: Intro: Em / D / C / D / Em Verse: G / C / G / C / G Em / G / C / Am7 / D C / G / Em / C / D G / C / G / C / Em . . . (i) G / C / G / D (ii) G / Em / C / D Enjoy! P.S. Check out Karen Matheson and Donald Shaw in the Transatlantic Sessions (and Aly Bain, Phil Cunningham, Dezi Donnelly, Jenna Reid...)

@KriegerHawk:

You can find the lyrics at Celtic Lyrics Corner. Look there for Capercaillie (band) -> Crosswinds (album) -> Am Buachaille Ban (song). And there you go. =)

I doesn't understand a word, but it touches my heard! I've heard this song the day my mother died, it was in 1995, I think I've listen to it more than a million times! Does anyone have the lyrics, or the english translation? Thanks & cheers from Germany!
