For those who were wondering if there were Gaelic words in this song, listen to the female vocalists in the background. They are singing in Gaelic " Ce leis an dolas I measc mo dhaoine. Bimse uaigneach" Translated " Whose is the sorrow among my people. I feel alone. . Beautiful song. isn't it?

Absolutely love this song !

@Villagejonesy I completely agree that Caislean Oir followed by the Wild Cry is one of the best moments on any Clannad album!

For those you are wondering about the music, I can assure you all I am 100% naked while typing this. God speed.

I thank you very much for the pleasure of this song

Sorry--that's Gaoth Barra na dTonn

bigsteve, see above reply--The Wild Cry is (in my opinion) the most beautiful Clannad song. I don't think it's on Youtube yet (hint, hint, anyone?). Another is Gaobh ara na dTonn (sp?), off of Clannad 2. I think there is a Youtube of it. But when I heard her do it live, it was twice as good.

Oh, the most beautiful thing is to hear Caislean Oir, and then the song that comes after it, The Wild Cry--that is, hands down, my favorite Clannad song. I know Clannad were probably thinking of Ireland's coast when they wrote it, but it always reminds me of my dear California coast. Wonderful!



This song is awesome. It brings back great memories, for me.
Thank You
