Clannad--Croi Croga (Brave Heart) English Trans lyrics

English Translation here!---Okay so all you Gaelic speaking people out there please don't get mad at me if I got this wrong. I searched all over the net to find the English translation and I only found a few and most of them made no sense at all. Then I came upon this one at...

So here goes....

Croi Croga means Brave Heart. Some sources claim this song was suppose to be used for the Movie Brave Heart but did not get used. Personally I think its a fantastic song! And I am soooo happy to finally learn what it means in English.

The king of Scotland died Alas
Without a son in this life
A man came from the south
King Edward the first
Oh a cruel pagan
The crowd fought
The nobel commoners
Between themselves
Forced to Forget
Their own Patriot.
This Legend

The King died
without a son in this life
Edward has the title
The young fought
People and Lords
Between themselves.

Champions, so strong
Stood in such a war
A champion without soul
A champion without way
Who hanged Thirty
Thirty without nobility
And young boys
Cruel heart
Living legend

Their dignity grew
From the word of the Scots
Six brave years,
Brave enough,
He sacrificed his hand
To complicated
To sad
They shouted of their freedom,
The man that was brave
Brave Heart

Now is that not a beautiful song or what????? I JUST LOVE THE SCOTS!

My mistake every one. I thought Enya was in this song. Apparently she is not. My bad. So I have removed her name from the video title.

[NewProphet11]

so you know, Clannad is not Enya, it's Enya's sister Maire Brennan. They are actually very different

[batlady2]

@NewProphet11 Thanks for the information. I have to conclude that you are right about Enya not being a part of this song. I thought she was. But I have not been able to find any information that proves that she contributes in any way to this song. So I have removed her name from the title and from the tags.

@batlady2 Enya did perform background vocals in Clannad's early albums like Cran Ull and Fuaim, (1980-82) it was the family band after all, But she started her solo career after that and essentially took the sound Clannad had developed and made it her own in a more pop chart friendly way. IMO Maire Brennan has a much better voice than Enya

[batlady2]

@NewProphet11 Yes, you're right. I have been reading more about the history of the band on Wikipedia. I first heard Enya back in 87 I think it was. When the song Orinoco flow came out. I was captivated by her sound as back then I had not heard any thing like it before. It was not until years later I found out she started from a band called Clannad and thats when I started looking for their music as well and have been a fan of both ever since.

I thought this was Clannad, not Enya.

@TheBandiidoo Enya's music touches the hearts and ears of people from every where in the world. And brings us all together to speak to each other here on Youtube. Thank you for taking the time to comment on my video.
