Donnie Munro - Chi Mi'n Tir

With Runrig (Air An Oir) and solo (Fields Of The Young).

-------------------
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach

A tir nan Suaineach a rinn sinn gluasad
'S i leinn an uair tighinn tuath air Scalpaigh
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach

Chi me Manais is Ceann an t-Saile
Caolas Bhearnaraidh is traighean Phabaidh
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach
'M barr a'chruinn 's Leac a' Li nam shealladh
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach (x2)

...
Is gu'm b'e mo mhiann bhith 'sa chiar 'gan tarruing
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach

Nam faighinn ordugh gur mi bhiodh deonach
A gheola "loradh" 's a seoladh dhachaidh
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach
'M barr a'chruinn 's Leac a' Li nam shealladh
Chi mi'n tir 'san robh mi'nam bhalach

[Hokowhitu76]

I love this song and the commentary from Donny. Im from NZ and grew up around the sea. I am currently living in a land locked city and absolutely hating it, theres something about the ocean that keeps pulling you back to it.

I see the fisherman at the net And I'd love to be there in the gloaming, fishing. I see the land where I was a boy. I see Manais and Kintail Kyle of Berneray and the shores of Pabbay I see the land where I was a boy. Then said Hugh as he came to meet me "Won't you look at the 'Goddy' at the ToeHead I see the land where I was a boy. When December comes I'll leave "The Suna” And I hope, with joy, to go home I see the land where I was a boy

[mmmfff555]

I see the land where I was a boy

Over the mast, Lackalee is in sight.

I see the land where I was a boy.

We came from Sweden

And made good time reaching north of Scalpay,

I see the land where I was a boy.

If I were ordered, I would willingly

Lower the boat and sail home

I see the land where I was a boy.

please, could you tell me me the words in Gaelic and translated to English. When does the song, Lyrics date back to?? Am an island lass at heart.

I love the Ocean and surf swells around the islands ~ and can never be away from the Ocean for too long. the sentiments of the song~ seeing your home island, on a journey, but knowing you aren't going there~ Sounds like a yearning and longing to reach home soil. . Powerful emotions :-))Affects merchants & all Love to know the lyrics of whole song.
