Runrig - Pog aon oidhche earraich

[smilebackifyourugly]

I regret to say i dont understand a word of this song but i think its beautiful

[deelle52]

das ist eine spitzenmusik

[bigcoolviking]

There is something very very special about this band...... the music, the feel, the vibe, the sweet melody & tempo... They have a spiritual edge that make them one in a million!

[yoobatube]

Is there anywhere with the lyrics translated?



[RutilusEquus]

I'm trying to look for the video of 'meadhan oidhche air acairseid'. It's my fave but I can't seem to find it.

[RunrigFan]

@RutilusEquus Hi just visit watch?v=o0kZv7NmeRk

[RutilusEquus]

@RunrigFan. Hi Thanks but nothing came up in relation to the song. Just lady gaga lol

[RunrigFan]

search runrig When I went to st kilda in summer and see if you find it

[Cruachan1645]

All our history is part of what & who we are today. The music is a way to enjoy being part of it. Thanks for the video. James Campbell.

[GaeilgeSpraoi]

I'm a Gaelgóir or a speaker of Irish Gaelic and I can actually understand nearly everything he says in these songs in Scottish Gaelic! The two languages are very similar and beautiful! I've never been to Scotland but I want to go there. Albain is Éire go brách! ;)

[femmedesbois04]

I remember when I was a student, I attended a series of courses which subject was the history of Scotland. I didn't know anything about this country and I was very interested, I remember when I was taught about the story of Flora MacDonald, a beautiful story indeed....

Thank you for this video, very beautiful.

[sunnykintyre]

Flora MacDonald was a cousin of the Laird of Largie in Kintyre and she lived with them before emigrating, they still have some things that she left behind. A very interesting history.

[waterfordwedgwood]

Trichoone....thank you very much. I was on the Isle of Skye, only a month ago. Beautiful!!! We saw the MacDonald castle, and Donvegan Castle...but I think our highlight was the north, Flora's monument, the thatch-roofed huts families lived in a century ago, and the ancient ruins of the old Dumtulm castle.

[trichoone]

@waterfordwedgwood thanks for your comment , i also visited all you mention we stayed in Staffin to the north of the island before the Bridge was built a bit of its charm was lost at that time , you get an amazing feeling when visiting the monument and grave of flora --great memories for me also its a while since ive been .

[mariastuart73]

[pejpabig]

ale ja lubię ten utwór...

[LindsayCurran]

Many thanks for both posting & brief translation

[angelstar22]

Excellent!

[dossdn]

It means "Free Scotland".

[jeffreywish]

what does saor alba mean?

[jacobite451]

it means basically "go Scotland woohoo"... but it was never really heard of until that stupid braveheart movie... now everyman who thinks he is a scottish history buff says it.

[vegsdraugr]

was it taken from the phrase Saoir Eire?

[TheClanMacGregor]

The Braveheart movie; indeed, was very flawed, but they did not use "Saor Alba,' which literally means,'Free Scotland." They used the saying, " Alba gu bragh,' literally,' Scotland forever!" Slainte!

[hafpipe]

Alba gu bràth

[agb8521]

@TheClanMacGregor

Yes thats one of my favorite phrases Saor Alba and Alba gu Bràth

i actualy have tattooed on my arm " Alba gu Bràth " and its actualy the name of my boat also lol.

[UISTMAN59]

This is my favourite of all the Gaelic songs composed by Calum. :-)

[Larya1313]

i love this song....

[sidlawman]

I think if he stopped a the border the end would have been the same, but we`ll never know. Thats one of the frustrations of history. If he`d gained the crown of Britain the Stuarts would have ended the Union of the parliaments, rightly or wrongly.

[buidseach]

Bonnie Prince Charlie was only interested in Scotland as a means to an end of getting the british crown. If hed stopped at the Border with England we might have had Independance in Scotland for the last 200 odd years.

[hallopan]

Jakobiten...1745....Culloden..­.Bonny Prince Charlie.....Flora.....

Bin selbst aus Deutschland....aber ich liebe euer Land ....und natürlich Runrig

[MosbyRaider]

It sends shivers down the spine and makes me taking up my musket...

[mariusek1]

Ja też to usłyszałem w audycji P. Kaczkowskiego....Pozdrawiam Słuchaczy Trójki!

[sgjoli]

to SaorAlbaNoBas -> thank you for your translation :-) I appreciate it :-) thanks

[mictlan12]

Dzieki wielkie Panu Kaczkowskiemu ;P

[sgjoli]

I love this song... it´s a pity I don´t understand the lyrics....

[SaorAlbaNoBas]

hey there, my first youtube post just for you ;)

Dont have time to translate the whole thing, sorry, but the chorus roughly translates as;

Oh love what power there was in that embrace that has left me in union with you today, who could ever have seen all that has grown from a kiss one spring evening

[prigual]

very nice lyrics, and music. thank you

[MartinaBC1963]

I have been at Flora´s grave. She finally rests in her native soil.

Moran taing as an oran, a Chaluim MacDomhnaill

[OMNIREVEN]

Tapadh leat! XD

[XJ6NL]

Oah da bekomme ich richtige Gänsehaut !

Wundervoll!

[scotty26669]

kurz und knapp einfach nur geil!!!!

[benigerb]

thank you so much for doing a tribute to Flora, and such a beautiful one, too. I am in love with Scotland and the story of the '45 and Bonnie Prince Charlie, and I have a deep affection for ll characters involved - especially Flora, of course! Feel free to have a look at my own tributes if you want... thank you again!!

[trichoone]

you are welcome glad you like it ,and will certainly have a look .

[bb3ca201]

This has become one of my most favorite Gaelic songs from Runrig. Tapadh leis an duine a chuir an t-òran air an àite seo. 'S toigh leam ciamar a mheasgaich iad an dàn 's an ceòl ann. 'S ann mar "salm" Gàidhlig a tha an òran...

[kate285]

Thanks so much trichoone, I love this band, hoping to see them in concert in November.

[trichoone]
