Oh Mo Dhuthaich

[oreos4lifex]

im from uist and this is a song close to my heart....

[rainbowdragon131065]

I remember seeing Capercaillie before my eldest daughter was born at the playhouse Edinburgh.

[Eadailteach]

Mura h-eil rud sam bith math agad ri ràdh! tha a nas fheàrr a'fuireach sàmhach.

Gu fhortanach...."Cha shluagh duine 'na aonar".

A nis airson an t-oran tha ciall na facail Gàidhlig cudromach, tha fhios gu bheil, agus seo am measg na feadhainn is drùidhteach buineas dhuinne.

[jhgrodec]

Brings tears to my eyes and I don't even know Gaelic....

[cinemascotland]

@jhgrodec you dont have to know Gaelic to feel the soul.

[SilaVendethiel]

listening with closed eyes is definitely a good way to hear this :) it could be from Lord of the Rings, it's beautiful.

[SiggyStern]

So very beautiful! It is like a calling!!! I would like to go!

[AlbaSiar]

This is lovely.

[MadamePlantier]

Underbart!

[calligraphyartist]

Thank you for uploading! It is very soothing and beautiful!

[XxMalarkixX]

Hail Europe, nothin more.

A dying wish, a dying dream <3

[JohnnyUku]

My heart vibrates with this song. My mother's family is Gilmore (Morrison), from Lewis. Of course they came to America sometime around the '45. Heartbreakingly beautiful. Someday I'll go there and I will know I am home...

[ferretsRus29]

This has to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard! This woman has the voice of an angel!

[wuzup36i3]

OH ! Mo Duthaich.

I heard the Highland calling, but I was not born there. Oh ! what Beauty!

Can Highland Adopt me? - smile.

The Highland ./ Belize are the Beauties to my

Heart.

Love,

Teri

[cinemascotland]

Well I do live in the highlands, and Karen is my cousin (although my second cousin). I am British by passport, Scottish by nationality, and a highlander by the grace of god. Thank god for that too. My beautiful highlands is dying, due to the massive influx of people not from here. Its not their fault, just natural progression I suppose, but its killing my culture. As one old man said to me about ten years ago.. "indeed, we are the last of the free."

[jhgrodec]

@cinemascotland may God bless you all!!

[cinemascotland]

@jhgrodec why, thank you.

[redcrowgrafix]

thx for uploading . i was born and live in germany but my grandfather was born in scottland near glasgow.

he always told me how beautiful this country is.

now i have seen that there is a town with my familys name "Lethen".

can someone tell me something about it.

[richthesituation]

@redcrowgrafix its a beautiful town with magestic forests, beautiful wildlife, and just an amazing atmosphere.

[locheelad2]

Closing the eyes is how I always listened to music, but in this post the video is amazingly professional. Haven't seen better in this genre on YT.

[MarieStockholm]

Thanks :)

[locheelad2]

Your welcome, truth is beauty.

[cristean08]

Thank you for uploading this song. I'm Scottish, I was born & bred in the Isle of Lewis. At times I our language 7 culture for granted, then you hear a song like this and it just gets you 'right in the heart'

[cristean08]

Oh my land, youre always in my thoughts Fresh, fragrant Uist, home of heroes Where the noble people live Herditary territory of Clanranald. Land of bent grass, land of barley Land fertile in every way Where the young lads Sing songs and drink ale They come to us, wily and cunning To seduce us from our homeland They sing the praises of Manitoba A cold country without coal, without peat.

[cristean08]

O mo dhùthaich, 's tu th'air m'aire, Uibhist chùbhraidh, ùr nan gallan, Far am faicte na daoin' uaisle 'S far bu dual do Mhac 'ic Ailein. Tìr a' mhurain, tìr an eòrna, Tìr sam pailt a h-uile seòrsa Far am bi na gillean òga Gabhail òrans gòl an leanna. Thig iad thugainn carach, seòlta Gus ar mealladh far ar n-eòlais. Molaidh iad dhuinn Manitoba, Dùthaich fhuar gun ghual, gun mhòine.

[aodh78]

Gu de sta dhomh bhith ag innse?

Nuair a ruigear 's ann a chithear

samhradh goirid, foghar sitheil

geamhradh fada na droch shide

Nam biodh agam fhin de storas

da dheis aodhaich. paidhir bhrogan,

agus m' fharadh bhith nam phoca,

's ann an Uibhist dheanainn seoladh.

[lorenarcp]

I'm not from Ireland or Scotland, but the scapeland of my country (Brasil) can also be astonishing. What I like in Capercaillie's music is the sense of freedom and love.

[leonkennedy12]

My grandmother who was born in Ireland has told me me about it so much. Its really the place I want to see most before I die. I love my Grandmother and am very proud to be of Irish Heritage. :)

[osrik100]

great rly

[plasm2]

now thts scotland i long to be able to travel to the highland and breath and see the places we faught and are still fighting for.

it makes me happy tht im scottish and i love this song so much.

[kohlalollia]

My dream for so long...

[mturrini]

Wow!!

Great atmosphere!

[notliketoast]

absolutely love Capercaillie, their Fhir a Bhata rendition is also a favourite.

[MartinaBC1963]

The beauty of this song is beyond words... :-))

[NancyToday]

you're right, my home is in a slightly similar area!

[nacho1560]

The music of the Scottish/Irish Celts was both beautiful and awe inspiring. We need more of such videos on YouTube.

[plasm2]

i agree with you song like this make me thnkful to be scottish

[juliaceasarxxx]

Simply sublime, and Marie, I love a walk on a windy day too, so refreshing.

[aodh78]

'Sann air Uibhist dheanainn seoladh.

[blissfulmemoriez]

omg do u speak fluent gaelic?i mean is this gaeic u wrote in? my god its so amazing how this language is still around :)

christina

[aodh78]

It is Gaelic. It's the last line of the song, where the singer laments that if only they had the money for the ticket, a change of clothes and shoes; it would be to Uist they would be heading.

[AWeeBitInsane]

I think the last one is most beautiful verse of the song, shame they didn't include it in this version.

[graham1281]

This is the kind of music you could listen to on an mp3 player high on a hill top and let all your cares drift away

[tomtscotland]

Thanks - nice one - hope you didn't get bitten by the midgies!

[MarieStockholm]

Midges - or why I prefer a gale-like wind to a calm evening... But hey, perfection isn't of this world...

[Maddiethehippy]

Lol i didnt even know midges bit...
