Love it! Brilliant.

I like listening to this version of Mairi Bhan. The Lochies sing in a nice cheerful way.

I know the tune through my daughters' Wiggles videos. Even though it's in Australian English it's remains a tribute to happy love and marriage.

Thanks

RE "Fhuair mi eolas air an oigh": This is what is written; however, an alternative version (what the Lochies sing) is "thachair mise ris an oigh"

Take care

These are the original Gaelic lyrics to "Mairi's Wedding"! Cool!

[Quixotic300]

Translation The love of my heart, fair-haired Mairi, Beautiful Mairi, the story of my song; She is my true love, fair-haired Mairi, And I am going to marry her. -It was at a ceilidh at the Mod I became aware of the young woman – It was she that won the gold medal And I am going to marry her. -I fell in love last night, My very heart is up on a mountain, Fair-haired Mairi beside me, singing, And I am going to marry her.

Gaol mo chrìdh-sa Màiri Bhàn, Màiri bhòidheach, sgeul mo dhàin; 'S i mo ghaol-sa Màiri Bhàn, 'S tha mi 'dol ga pòsadh. -'S ann aig ceilidh aig a' Mhòd Fhuair mi eòlas air an òigh - 'S ise choisinn am bonn òir, 'S tha mi 'dol ga pòsadh. -Thuit mi ann an gaol a-raoir, Tha mo chrìdh-sa shuas air beinn, Màiri Bhàn rim' thaobh a'seinn, 'S tha mi 'dol ga pòsadh.
