Tha Mi Sgith (A Fairy's love story)

[BodhranGirl98]

Is it strange that my ma sang this to me as a lullaby? It still makes me a bit sleepy

[1SuperKawaii]

Beautiful!

[RACHELTAYLOR7]

This is a Scots gaelic song about a woman who falls in love with a fairy.Her father will not allow her to see her fairy lover.I am tired and i am alone,cutting the bracken,cutting the bracken.There is a gaelic version on the BBC Beag air bheag website.

Will you believe I'm scottish and never heard this? I have youtube and those with scottish ancestry to thank for discovering 'new' music. Still can't believe I've never once been played this.

In Scot's Gaelic, Tha mi sgith would be, "I am weary" or "I am tired". Literally "It is to me tired". If retiring for the night you might say, "Tha mi sgith - oidhche mhath" (Ha me shki - oyki va) "I'm tired - goodnight"

Does anyone know where I can download this song? I can't find it on itunes.

[Bangurdead25]

We played this song my Freshman year of High School in band class. It's a very emotional peice, and this version definitely does it credit. Thank you for posting it.

I simlpy cannot listen to this one without it causing immense pressure behind my eyes, and i aint´t one to cry easily, but this one comes close.

One of the good things in life.

[FBDBmusic]

The ending of the last line which is causing the problems is "parted fae my dearie" i.e. 'parted from my loved one, as sung by Rhona.

[nasos1979]

@FBDBmusic Thank a lot mate! ;-)

[ScotsmanRS]

@nasos1979 She definitely says "Parted frae my dearie". "Frae" is used in place of "fae" in some areas of Scotland, and the singer's "r" is quite distinctive. :)

[xXRisunaXx]

its a pretty song - beautiful pics ^-^

[RVDfanman1]

Last verse: all alone and weary?

[niseach]

Not sure why there are Irish references - Tha mi sgith is a Gaidhlig song not Gaeilge. Gaidhlig being Scottisg Gaelic. Plenty versions available sung by natives.

[nasos1979]

@niseach My mistake, my friend. Forgive me for the wrong references. I admire Scottish tradition equally.

I think the last line is

"Why should i sit and sigh-

parted frae my deary ?"

[stonedkid69]

Music of the Angels, this young lady has a beautiful voice, best wishes from Ireland !

[grafx5]

Do you have the name of the album this is from?

[nasos1979]

@grafx5 I'm afraid not. I found it in a collection of songs, called "stou tragoudiou tin ochthi" (στου τραγουδιού την όχθη). I'm not sure if it helps.

[grafx5]

@nasos1979 Yeah, looks like I won't be able to get it in the US. Thanks anyways.

[arturszandor]

@grafx5

it can be found on the album "terra nostra" by savina yannatou (savina giannatou) & primavera en salonico

[stonedkid69]
