Gortoz a Ran

This song haunted me until I finally had to make a video. Beautifully sung by Denez Prigent and Lisa Gerrard. These are just some pics from the net that I threw together as I felt my way through the music. I have included the Breton lyrics as well as an English translation. I had seen several translations out there but liked this one best. Enjoy.

Gortoz a Ran

Gortozet 'm eus, gortozet pell
E skeud teñval tourioù gell
E skeud teñval tourioù gell

E skeud teñval an tourioù glav
C'hwi am gwelo 'c'hortoz atav
C'hwi am gwelo 'c'hortoz atav

Un deiz a vo 'teuio en-dro
Dreist ar maezioù, dreist ar morioù

'Teuio en-dro an avel c'hlas
Da analañ va c'halon c'hloaz't

Kaset e vin diouzh e alan
Pell gant ar red, hervez 'deus c'hoant

Hervez 'deus c'hoant pell eus ar bed
Etre ar mor hag ar stered

------

I Am Waiting

I was waiting, waiting for a long time
In the dark shadow of grey towers
In the dark shadow of grey towers

In the dark shadow of rain towers
You will see me waiting forever
You will see me waiting forever

One day it will come back
Over the lands, over the seas

The blue wind will return
And take back with it my wounded heart

I will be pulled away by its breath
Far away in the stream, wherever it wishes

Wherever it wishes, far away from this world
Between the sea and the stars

@Ghillie334 Uilleann Pipesb , Sort of bag pibes pumped with a bellows under the other arm. Nice instrument for folk music I think but not as regal as the drone of the great pipes, Scottish highland bagpipes.

Watch I am going to get a history lesson from some Galacian shortly : ) We have a guy play the Uillean pipes at sessions in Georgetown Pub the odd Tuesday night. This tune is haunting.
