Lyrics:
*the language is Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic)*

Là dhomh 's mi 'm beinn a' cheathaich
(One day when I was on the misty mountain)

Sèist: Chorus (after each verse):
Far al a leò ro ho bhi ò
Hoireann is ò ho rò bhi o ho
Hi rì ho ro ho bha ò hug ò ro

'S ann agam 's a bha 'n sealladh
(I saw a wonderful sight)

Gun deach bàta Chloinn Nìll seachad
(The Clan MacNeill's ship passed by)

Mach bho dhùthaich MhicGill-Eathain
(Away from MacLean country)

Steach gu Cìosamul an aighir
(Towards joyful Kisimul)

Far am faight' a' chuirm ri gabhail
(Where the feasting takes place)

Fìon 'ga òl oidhche gu latha
(Drinking wine from night to day)

Pìobaireachd nam feadan àrd' laghach
(The piping of the tall, lovely drones)

Clàrsach bhinn ga gleusadh mar ris
(The sweet harp being tuned alongside)

Sìoda donn ga chur air na mnathan
(Russet silk being worn by the ladies)

Gill'Eòghanain mòr an gaisgeach
(Gilleonan, the great hero)

Ruairi òg an t-oighre maiseach
(Young Rory, the handsome heir)

This is such a great song. Where can I find the mp3? :-/

[anovelgirl]

@cqbhoun: Well, I'm no musician, so I don't have the tab, but the mp3 is available via amazon or iTunes.

[Zeneternity]

Thanks a million for uploading this song! First heard it on iceberg radio on the celtic channel. Love love love this song!!!

It doesn't get much sweeter then this!

[anovelgirl]

@Zeneternity You're welcome! I first heard it on Pandora. :)

[Bushinit002]

@Zeneternity i live in virginia and cannot find this station, I NEED MORE CELTIC MUSIC, please help.

[anovelgirl]

@Bushinit002 I don't get those stations either, but NPR has a program called The Thistle and Shamrock that plays Celtic music. Maybe they play it in your area. They have a website--google it and it should tell you where it's broadcast.

Also, be sure and check out Pandora. If you look under genre stations, they have a Celtic station. Here's the Celtic station that I created: pandora

@cqbhoun AND THE TAB :D

[Robobagpiper]

The song goes one line of verse, to three lines of refrain, which goes: Far al a leò ro ho bhi ò/Hoireann is ò ho rò bhi o ho/Hi rì ho ro ho bha ò hug ò ro

[Robobagpiper]

Translation: One day when I was on the misty mountain/I saw a wonderful sight/The Clan MacNeill's ship passed by/Away from MacLean country/Towards joyful Kisimul/Where the feasting takes place/Drinking wine from night to day/The piping of the high, gentle chanter/The sweet harp being tuned alongside/Russet silk being worn by the ladies/Gilleonan, the great hero / Young Rory, the handsome heir

[Robobagpiper]

The refrain is just nonsense words, but the verses are:

Là dhomh 's mi 'm beinn a' cheathaich/'S ann agam 's a bha 'n sealladh/Gun deach bàta Chloinn Nìll seachad/Mach bho dhùthaich MhicGill-Eathain/Steach gu Cìosamul an aighir/Far am faight' a' chuirm ri gabhail/Fìon 'ga òl oidhche gu latha/Pìobaireachd nam feadan àrd' laghach/Clàrsach bhinn ga gleusadh mar ris/Sìoda donn ga chur air na mnathan/Gill'Eòghanain mòr an gaisgeach/Ruairi òg an t-oighre maiseach
