[FireHeartSong]

Thanks so much - how beautiful this is in Gaelic!..

[wanderinggael]

Go h-áluinn, bóidheach!

[robsargent4]

Fandabadosy.

[HighKingofIndiana]

Cripes this is Gaidhlig. Ignore my last comment :S

Evidently my knowledge of Gaeilge is not as good as I thought it was.

[UISTMAN59]

@HighKingofIndiana No bother ! :-)

[HighKingofIndiana]

Love the song in English, thrilled to find it in Irish. Thank you.

[saltwaterballads]

Thats lovely. I know the tune well but never heard this version. Nice video too, thanks for sharing.

[UISTMAN59]

@saltwaterballads Thank you Julie. A very Happy New Year to you and yours. :-)

[UISTMAN59]

[trichoone]

Happy New Year my friend over the border

[UISTMAN59]

@trichoone I think you might recognise the Manx equivalent "Blein Vie Noa" ! It is pretty close to the Scottish Gaelic equivalent "Bliadhna Mhath Nuadh" (more in sound than in writing although we would usually say Ur instead of Nuadh nowadays)

[owlet1963]

I have this sung by Doc Watson on a record, took me a while to remember where I had heard this before,lol.is called old age, senility, "maltheimer" or a combo of all. :)

[UISTMAN59]

@owlet1963 Thanks Nathalie. I didn't know he had recorded it. Happy New Year to you :-)

[owlet1963]

@UISTMAN59 right now,I am not at my place, but when I get back, I will be able to tell you exactly where and when if it is of interest for you. Happy Easter...er,, New Year to you to! :>

[UISTMAN59]

@owlet1963 Another Happy New Year to you :)

[owlet1963]

@UISTMAN59 And a Happy New Year to you too, Iain! I just realized the joke in this, Mister Smarty! One post, two Happy New Year's greetings for the price of one, lol

[UISTMAN59]

@owlet1963 Ach, I have been found out. :-( I hope you have a great year ahead of you. xx. :-)

Tá sé sin go deas! Coinnigh suas an obair maith a Uistman59. Gabh i leith, céard "cuideachd" i nGaeilge? Fresin? Chuala mé an focal seo i gcónaí ar BBC Alba...

[UISTMAN59]

@michealomainin Ann an Gaidhlig chanadh sinn "Cum ort" far an canadh sibhse "Gabh i leith." Tha am facal "cuideachd" Gaidhlig a ciallachadh "freisin" (ann am Beurla "also" & "too").

[michealomainin]

@UISTMAN59 Go raibh maith agat!

A truly lovely version of this song. I just love it ! Great pics too. Do I see one of the Infirmary Bridge at Inverness and one of the Caledonian Canal.

Happy New Year to you and yours, and many thanks for sharing your posts with us . I look forward to enjoying more of the same in the coming months.

[UISTMAN59]
