@BATTERIESc They have sung in irish gaeilge before or so my aunty says but I am not sure what song anyway you should be able to make out most of the words like I can understand the vast majority of amhran na bhfiann. :)
Love this version & the version from Na Rionnagan of the Glasgow Gaelic School. It's a wonderful tribute to Gaelic songs - thanks to Runrig etc.......
Oopsy, Pat--I just sent this to you and then looked at the comments and there you were! Aren't the words gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the other version with me. Donnie's voice is truly amazing (and he looked great, too ;D)
Great video; perhaps a better translation of "Tha an oidhche a-nochd fuar" would be "Cold is the night", as it is quite a poetic turn of phrase I think.. co dhui, 'smath rinn thu!
A relatively new Runrig convert (my daughter brought them to my attention last year through Stamping Ground), I'm really enjoying exploring their earler music. This is a beautiful ballad; thank you for posting with the English translation of the lyrics.
I love this song it remind me of home.

"Lyrics to Runrig's version of Chi M'in Geamhradh - A Scottish folk song "
It's actually a Runrig original, by Calum and Rory MacDonald.
But... lovely song, and good on ye for posting it :)

Donnienic: I agree, "cold is the night" sounds more poetic (and romantic). Is Gàidhlig difficult to learn? I love the language.

Thanks, but the lyrics are from inserts in the CDs. However, I don't know if that is a literal translation of the lyrics.
