Only a few times in life I've felt at home in this world. Listening to Julie, I feel at home...
This performance is painfully beautiful. The fusion of the accompanying instrument with Julie's exceptional voice is such a joy to listen to.
I agree joy that is painful
The emotion and power in that performance brought me to tears, this is one of my favourite performances by Julie.
like all Julie's performances just absolutely stunning, i am always amassed at how she is so captivating with her songs
I love seals and the sounds of Gaelic and the singing of Julie Fowlis.
I've heard Julie sing this song much faster; I really love this pace, to feel the music breathe.
This song is so beautiful. Perfet for sleeping and dreaming about the selkies.

[An ròn:]
“Mise nighean Rìgh-fo-Thuinn
Fuil nan rìghrean na mo chrè -
Ged a chì sibh mi nam ròn
Tha mi mòrail nam thìr fhèin.
“Tìr-fo-Thuinn mo dhachaigh dhùint’
Innis dhùthchasach nan ròn;
Caidlidh mi air leacan sàil’,
Mi fhìn ’s mo bhàn-chuilean òg.”
A Bhana-phrionns’ a’ chuain shiar,
A bheil sgeul agad ri luaidh?
Nach inns thu dhuinn mar a bha
Mun do ghabh sibh tàmh sa chuan?
“Chaidh na geasan a chur oirnn
Rè ar beò-bhith le luchd-fuath,
’S ged a tha sinn snàmh nan caol
’S e nàdar daonnd’ tha dhuinn dual.
“Aig tràth-marbh air oidhche fèill
Tilgidh sinn ar bèin air tràigh,
’S cluichidh sinn nar n-òighean suairc’
A’ crathadh ar cuaillean bàn.
“Ach a-nochd tha mi nam ròn
Air an lic an còrs’ a’ chuain:
’S e mo nàdar bhith toirt gaol,
’S do chlann-daoine thug mi luaidh.”
[Translation:]
[The Seal:]
"I am daughter of the King-under-Sea
Royal blood flows in my veins -
Though you see me as a seal
I am noble in my own land.
"Land-below-waves my prison home,
Hereditary domain of the seal;
I will sleep on a salt sea slab,
Myself and my white-furred pup."
O Princess of the western ocean
Do you have a tale to weave?
Will you tell us how it was
Before you came to live at sea?
"Spells were laid upon us
During our human lives by foes -
Though we now swim the straits
Human nature is our heritage.
"At the dead of feast-day night
We cast our sealskins on the sand,
Playing there as gentle maids
Shaking our blonde tresses.
"But tonight I am a seal
On a rock beside the sea;
It is my nature to give love,
And mankind I hold dear."
thank you so much for this kindness of sharing the original AND the translation. Very generous of you.
Very lovely.
Man, that's beautiful
Magic.
The brief seal imagery is similarly reminiscent to that in the film 'Why the Whales Came'.
Я люблю этот голос.
