  • In gaelic I would. I woulld supply them. I love my language.

  • In gaelic I would. I woulld supply them.

  • gcse music, yay

  • @FenianScum what an enlightened character you are..n't

  • @FenianScum scotland state had a cock up with the darien scheme and wasted 1/3 of its wealth on a colony in panama........the union was forced on it by the elitist merchant class in hanoverian london. A trade block was threatened and Cumberland had soldiers at the border!

  • @greenboulter england was a construct created by the anglo saxons after kicking vikings out (having took the land from welsh types - welsh word for england means lost lands)

    Bascially back in celtic days England never existed

  • In what language do they sing? I love the song and the celtic music :)

  • @piratadelsur98 Capercaillie's songs are sung in English and Scots Gaelic. This song in particular you couldn't probably tell its Scots Gaelic.

  • Hey Fenian Scum,youre comment does nothing to do with my opinionamd and if you are trying to tick me off it isnt working.Scotland was there along time before English invaded.

  • @irishoforiel Who invaded England then

  • Comment removed

  • @greenboulter The Welsh and the Scots.Hope that helps.Sorry, forgot about the Jutes,Angles,Saxons,Vikings,No­rmans,Romans.Apart from that,Nobody lol.

  • @irishoforiel strange "fenianscum" trying to get support on a gaelic music video,,,,when the gaels were treated like shit by the state in the highlands,,,,my ancestors were cleared out and literally froze to death picking seaweed near thurso

  • It seems I can never access Scottish or Irish music without finding someone - usually many more - who are stuck in the bloody past. Oh Capercaillie, great - let's talk about Culloden or something. Oh great - Altan - let's shout Up the IRA.

    Thumbs up to the people who genuinely come here for the music.

  • @andrewshere one mans terrorist is another man freedom fighter................maybe ppl here should be encouraging a positive debate on increasing gaelic usage towards a better varied future of this planet

  • @3tangle3 That's true, but a mother's dead son is always dead, and innocent victims are always innocent. I just wish people wouldn't live in the past. A better varied future, yes.

  • @andrewshere i deplore violence....i suffered bullying. But the legacy of history and ppl bullying each other....pushes people towards violence....the treatment of the irish was only ever going to end in tears for both sides.....its sick but sadly true

  • @andrewshere another thing about culloden they talk about the trumped up toff prince charlie.....but no one talks about the genocide of the gaelic clans that followed....they are ignored as cannon fodder......my family has a story of a 9year old child getting an axe in head because his dad was suspected jacobite....but in reality his dad had died years before

  • @3tangle3 I agree with you.But how long do we blame the sons for the sins of the father?No one is really clean in history.The Highland Clearances couldn't have taken place without the collusion of some clan chiefs.In Uist, landlords even reduced some rents.Genocide is absolutely the correct word for the aftermath of Culloden, no excuses. But Scots have suffered aplenty at the hands of its own.Lots of Highland/Lowland antagonism,and central to the Glencoe massacre. But grudges from 300+years ago?

  • @andrewshere the grudges are only there as the legacy is still a real reality no matter how glossed over we are told it is.......the poorest surnames in Britain are generally those who supported the uprising lol....how the hell is that still ?.....once power is closer to the people of the highlands the grudge will be gone totally I feel

  • @andrewshere I don't know about the rest of Scotland, but being raised near Inverness (and near Culloden) the grudge isn't exactly encouraged but it is an assumed part of the culture you're brought up in, particularly in school. We were taught about the battle of Culloden, the suppression of Gaelic and the Highland clearances as local history, with very little awareness of the time scale. There was also not much in the way of balance - locals come back to teach, so the grudge is passed on.

  • @AntarcticDreamer Agreed, the Scottish way of life was oppressed after the battle of culloden/ jacobite revolution. Gaelic suppressed, Bagpipes outlawed etc etc.

    There is certainly a grudge that still exists, be it sometimes comical generally, however it lies in history and passed down through generations.

  • Direach sgoinneil! S'math a rinn siubh :)

  • I saw them live once!

  • I really like Capercaillie, but they tried to copy and ride the back of Clannad. True fact to the wire. I like thee, but they tried to ride it. Look at the time and the date and the way it worked out. Tis' true. .

  • Love this song 

  • OK, I am going to be inappropriate and say I wish I could be Donald Shaw so I could wake up next to Karen Matheson in the mornings and gaze adoringly into her eyes!

  • Always loved this song.

  • Alba gu brath!

  • When I was wee I used to ask my dad to rewind the CASSETTE over and over again-loved this-brings back soooo many memories!!! :)

  • @3tangle3 :Belt of the Celts.The Wolfe Tones LP Circa 1980

  • I love to play 2:27 over und over und over again! haha I love this song!

  • Gaelic: English:

    Coisich, a Rùin, hù ll oro, Come on, my love, hù ll oro,

    cum do ghealladh, o hi lbh o; Keep your promise to me, o hi lbh o;

    beir Soraldh bhuam, hù ll oro, Take greetings from me, hù ll oro,

    dha na Hearadh, boch oralnn o. Over to Harris, boch oralnn o.

    (First stanza)

  • love this song. i was in the Isle of Lewis in the late 60s and wanted to stay and learn gaelic. all the people i met from Lower Shader to Stornoway were friendly.

  • Dodgy hair but SOLID MUSIC !

  • I agree with that one.

  • "Dodgy hair"? Huh? Hope you don't mean Karen's.

    Wouldn't matter to me if they were bald. Or tripping on it. Quite irrelevant.

    Love Karen in Transatlantic Sessions 3, too.

    Thanks for yet another gem, Tom.

  • This is a great video, great performance, thanks for posting. Matheson, never heard of her till I wandered unto UTube, glad I found it...

  • what a voice she has!

  • thank you so much.......

  • ...can anyone supply the lyrics to this beatuful song..gaelic please....

  • The lyrics of all Capercaillie songs are on the band's website. Gaelic songs also have an English translation!

    ie

    capercaillie(dot)co(dot)uk/dis­cography/lyrics/delirium/

  • @tomtscotland i can't find the english translation. do you know were i can find that?
