i was going to sing this song in a robert burns comp but i backed out because i was soooooooo scared .. well when i was taught this song we had to sing the words propely and clearly... u are not singing the words propely .. example its i not i-iii and you are breathing at the wrong times and singing the wrong words !!
Aged 12 at school in Edinburgh a friend and I were belted for singing this beautiful song. It was Science Class & I'd whispered that it always made me cry, so we started to sing it, but Miss Cochrane was not impressed. 50 years later the song still makes me cry. This version is heartbreakingly gorgeous!
@peacefulvines Thanks, I'm 11 and a scottish boy who lives near Burns Cottage :) We just learned about Burns at school and I enjoyed it. I like his songs I can sing them well.
she needs to watch her tune as she goes to high i think she would be better with a pianist. i sing this song and know she is defindetly screeching at the high notes but apart from it was okay
@taggartjs okay whatever you say, i was giving my oppinion to help her because with help and training she could be very good. So dont start on me because i gave my opinion okay?
Beautiful. My daughter's singing it for a school contest (and she's about half Scottish herself, the rest Irish). I can only hope she leaves the same lump in the throat of the judges that this wee lass left in mine.
And you are so smart with your comments..who are u to tell anyone to get a life just because a song can bring tears regardless of who sings it..if you cannot feel emotions listening to a song then why listen..leave people to have their feelings without downing them please,,
i second that... calza13, YOU get a life!!! you can cry AND still BE A MAN! in fact, crying demonstrates that you ARE a man because you show your vulnerabilities. as mortal beings, we all have them. even you, "iron toughman!"
This is breathtaking. Just......breathtaking. All the heartbreak in this song brought out by one little girl!!! You sing beautifully, much love from America :)
Little Jasmin, the first time I watched this video could'nt help to replay it like twenty times. I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina, a poet and lover of poetry and am absolutely sure Rabbie would LOVE you!!! This is all a poet can wish: being sung two hundred years after his death, by a lovely little girl, near the cottage where he was born. Nothing can measure Burns' grandeur better than this.
I've posted before but this wee lass is undoubtedely the best ,nae, nearest tae perfection and what Rabbie would like it tae be sung as I've ever heard.
If there is any who knows how to make this available to the world then do so.
That was lovely. It makes an old Scottish man proud that there are still young people who are keeping our cultural heritage alive rather than trying to copy black american culture. We have a lot to be proud of. Lets shout about it!
duncane17, the world is a mixture of many interesting and beautiful cultures.. i also love scottish music and i learned a lot about the great bard burns during my travels to the Uk, but other cultures( suuch as black americans) have a rich and powerful musical history too..I think there is no reason for a singer to have to choose one or another.
omg you are good i was at the homecoming 250th anniversary of rabbie burms this year it was great but you should have sang there you are absaloutly great luv you and KEEP GOING xxxxx
Well I'm an American, but I think a beautiful young lady singing a beautiful song so well transcends national boundaries. I think Rabbie Burns would be proud of you, young lady. It was beautiful.
A nice rendition, I don't know what dialect she is, but I've always like Scottish languages. It would be nice if she didn't sing with her throat so much, but she's young, I can't fault her for that. It'd also be nice without the wind in the mic, but you're outside, you can't really avoid it.
Good work, hope to hear more from you in the future.

And ilka bird sang o' its love,
And fondly sae did I o' mine.
