As an Irishman I'm delighted to see our cousins in Scotland celebrating the beautiful, ancient and rich Gaelic culture we both share - leis an fhírinne a rá, cuireann sé áthas ar mo chroí ! Is breá liom an fonn, an t-amhránaí agus na h-uilisí ceoil ins an sliocht seo agus chuireann sé i gcuimhne domh de na ceolteoirí abhus anseo sa bhaile in Éirinn. Ar scór ar bith, go raibh maith agat nó mar a thugtaí uirthi as a'Ghàidhlig - gu robh math agad. Slán agus beannacht.
Didn't lose much. Quite typical table song. Like with many other Gaelic songs - if you don't understand it - just enjoy it for its music value, translating it may disappoint.
Je suis breton avec peut-être cette sensibilité celte commune à l'Ecosse et aux Ecossais, et aux Irlandais bien sûr. En tout cas j'adore l'Ecosse et garde des souvenirs émerveillés des paysages des Highlands et des gens ! Cette chanson, comme toutes celles que chante merveilleusement Julie Fowlis sont bouleversantes de sensibilité, elles émeuvent autant par leur joie que par leur mélancolie ! Merci pour ces beaux cadeaux !
Beautiful music by a beautiful woman :) My ancestors were Scottish; fought a rebellion against the English in the Highlands and were arrested and deported to the American colonies in 1773. I hope to be able to travel to this great land one day, to connect with my past. I was born in America, but my heart has always belonged in Scotland.
Great globalist finance controls politics (conservative, labour, SNP, greens are full of great finance puppets) and wants to destroy family (gender theory, LGBT ideology, pornography, ...) because family is the greatest obstacle to the full control of people; muslim immigrants in Europe are also instruments for this satanic project; SNP has nothing Scottish about it (except the name). Read G.K. Chesterton, a great defender of family and freedom. Wake up Scots: protect your families, children and freedom!
***** Alasdair, I am neither Irish, nor Scottish. I am a Belarusian (an Eastern European Slavic nation). I am equally fond of both Celtic nations and the English. It would seem that this discussion does not concern me in any way, but the thing is my nation's language suffered a decline similar to that of both Gaelic languages due to the influence of an invading empire (Russians, in our case). Seeing some historical similarities I could not abstain. It seemed to me that you are substituting one notion for another. Russians are doing the same. Whenever I enter into a similar argument with one of them - they are saying: "We did not suppress your language - we merely streamlined the administration of our territories." Very much in the same vein as your line of argument goes they are saying: "Belarusian was the language of rebellion, so we suppressed rebellious activities" Somehow they omit to say, that they banned Belarusian books and frequently imprisoned the Belarusian national intelligentsia. They merely streamlined administration and ensured stability. I am sorry, but that is rather hypocritical. Based even on what you said it was through English operation on both Scottish and Irish territories, that these Gaelic languages suffered a decline. The reasons, or the agents through which this was done are not important.
As a Scottish heritage Canadian who has visited Cape Breton and Newfoundland and then Scotland 3x's this music sinks to the very core of my heart. Julie Fowlis is truly fabulous as well the band.
+Bruce Pennycook: I happen to have Scots and Irish ancestry, with some of my roots also lying in Cape Breton, and I feel the same way you do. Julie Fowlis is always a treat to listen to and she's quite talented as are the members of her band.
I am from California which is on the west coast of the USA. I love Scottish Gaelic and irish gaelic music. I also like welsh music. I am part Scottish, Welsh, German, English, French, and Irish. I magine one of my ancestors singing it.
Heard Julie Fowlis for the first time ever as she and her band were Warming up for Runrig on their 40 years anniversary tour here in Denmark, by god - they made me feel some kind of connection to the Scots
I love Gaelic, I have no idea how I fell in love with it but ever since I first heard the language I've been in love and I am especially in love with the Gaelic music!!!
Finally! Someone who does think like me and so much so. Maybe its because i grew up reading King Arthur Books and other gaelic stuff..Watch toss the feathers... You have a resplendent day ahead Leigh.
This song is pulling at the wisps of my very soul beckoning me to come with them to a land not known but only in legends. This song promises me of paradise on earth and guides me as I dance in the boughs of nature, flying high among the misty mountains. Something in my heart has been touched like it hasn't been in years. I am glad I clicked the link to this video thinking "This couldn't be that bad" Majestic and heavenly would be an understatement here.
I just noticed the 'dislikes'. How can anyone dislike this? I can understand simply not being into it, but, hey just don't listen to it. But to go to the trouble of bushing the 'dislike' button'? I'm perplexed. Anyway, I like it. Actually love it. Thanks Julie and Band!
Dear Ms. Fowlis, please visit Germany for playing some gigs! You would surely be most welcome here :) I love your enchanting music, heard it for the first time in Scotland on a tour through the highlands, it was just perfect!
I haven't understood a word, but I've been enchanted and bewitched by Julie Fowlis, Goddess of music. His magical voice has leaded me from Italy to the Land of the Eternal Youth...
She is playing a whistle, or penny whistle, which is a common instrument in Scottish and Irish traditional music. And yes she is a babe. I'm sure her husband Eamon on the Irish Bouzouki thinks so also. She is singing in Scottish Gaelic which is similar to Irish Gaelic, but not exactly the same.
guyfihi I remember seeing an interview of her when she mentioned the exact name of the type of Gaelic this is...I think she said the language is spoken by a very tiny percent of Scottish people off an isle of Scotland, if I am not mistaken? Seriously tough for an American to even comprehend but her voice is gorgeous and the language flows when she sings!
AnnMarie Tornabene It's Scottish Gaelic, it and Scots English are the native languages, Gaelic is Celtic and older though, and it's spoken all over Scotland, but by a small minority.
The city I used to live - Lugansk - was founded by a Scot, maybe this explains why I am in love with everything that comes from Scotland beginning with songs and ending with whiskies ))) Her singing is DIVINE!!!
The more I hear Duncan on the fiddle, the more I like that guy. He has technical ability, but such a mellow tone, almost viola-like. And Julie shines on the whistle, playing triplets. I saw her husband Eamon with Danu in Davis California last Christmas. They did mostly English songs, because most people here in California don't understand Gaelic, but come to think of it, many don't understand English either--that's another story.
I live in Sacramento and have relatives in Kilkenny also. Several years ago I was hiking with my friend near Lake Tahoe and we encountered 3 young Irish guys that were confused about directions. I told them my last name and said I had relatives in County Kilkenny and he said in his Irish accent, "Yah there's some of them thar." Never forget it!
I'm Scottish and only just finding out about Julie Fowlis. Where can I find more like this? Without aimlessly clicking TH-cam videos!? (Yes I am lazy!). Especially this second part, it's just too damn catchy!! What other bands would you recommend?
In the age of the internet, I think it's safe to say that languages can become immortal. A language may not be spoken for a hundret years, but if there's enough of it online people will be abled to relearn it. We still have reasons to be optimistic every once in a while.
In case anyone doesn't know the fiddle player is Duncan Chisholm, one of the original founding members of Wolfstone. A Highland Celtic rock band, in case you don't know check out this band's stuff....it's wee bonny!
Thank you so very much for sharing this live performance. What an incredible presence Julie Fowlis shares with us and of the wonderful quality of musicianship she does surround herself with.
I love it do you know other voices alike in quality plz? i know the older ones who appeared in famous highlands,transatlantic but in the new generation for exemple does julie is the only one to compte really in celtic music? Thanks
Welsh is the most spoken native language after English but I wish we would celebrate our sing the language as much as Gaelic. So much love for this song!
Ty so much, bro. I knew it must be something related to politics haha. I really admire u celt ppl. Fight for your rights and land! Respect from Brasil.
It is such a beautiful language. I am deeply saddened that in my study of older language, I forgot that Latin and Greek weren't the only ones that have been beautiful and that Greek wasn't the only one that's still surviving. It seems that now is as good a time as any to fix that, though. I can't help wanting to immerse myself in this beautiful language, music, and culture.
I’m American half Scottish half English I have no idea what she’s saying but I love it it is absolutely beautiful

Tapadh Leibh mo chara. Eilian Erin Mise ban Dia
Can't understand a word of the language but the music sings to my heart.
Makes me calm and happy at the same time.
all i know is it's Scottish Gaelic. i've never been to Scotland, but i love its culture, the people and the amazing landscapes
agree with you
Didn't lose much. Quite typical table song. Like with many other Gaelic songs - if you don't understand it - just enjoy it for its music value, translating it may disappoint.

Bon courage mon ami. Moi je suis Ecossie.
Sinne Fir Tuath Dia Smaonich mise, Solas mo brathair
Love to Scotland from Japan.
I don't understand the Gaelic but I like listening to it. Also like Julie's voice.
I'd love to go to her live someday.

Thank God we English didn't completely annihilate the Gaelic completely, it is such a beautiful language, as is Welsh.

Tu quoque.
You completely ignored Ivans comment, and jumped on pointing out someones ad hominem.
I'm sorry but I can't take anyone called Alasdair seriously. Was your dad called Nigel?
I should have said cunt instead of twat.

I've never heard anything this beautiful makes me proud of my heritage
Heard Julie Fowlis for the first time ever as she and her band were Warming up for Runrig on their 40 years anniversary tour here in Denmark, by god - they made me feel some kind of connection to the Scots

Oh my God, this is utterly beautiful. Have just bought 2 of her albums.
Wat een FANTASTISCHE MUZIEK !!
What a supremely talented lady!
the most beautiful voice combined with the most beautiful language on this planet..
This song is pulling at the wisps of my very soul beckoning me to come with them to a land not known but only in legends.

Prabhat Rai I had to see this comment...the references to Brave, Lord of the Rings...I have seen all today.
Nissim R. A. Pardon me but who are you?
A random bitch.
So not Scotland then?
Adam. Maybe
Julie, you make people cry. Makes me miss home and my other so very much. Thanks for being so beautiful
I just noticed the 'dislikes'. How can anyone dislike this? I can understand simply not being into it, but, hey just don't listen to it. But to go to the trouble of bushing the 'dislike' button'? I'm perplexed.
Anyway, I like it. Actually love it. Thanks Julie and Band!
Super ! Julie salut from Poland

Damn, gets me every time. So enchanting, she really has something special going on... Flawless performance.
I think she and her band are just great! May not understand the language but the feeling is indeed therein...many thanks for sharing Julie!
Dear Ms. Fowlis, please visit Germany for playing some gigs! You would surely be most welcome here :) I love your enchanting music, heard it for the first time in Scotland on a tour through the highlands, it was just perfect!
i have no idea what she's singing.. but Julie Fowlis is on another level of fantastic.
I find her voice very touching, even mesmerizing. She has a marvelous gift.
彼女の曲で一番好きな曲です。朝一番でも仕事に疲れたときでも元気になれる曲です。ありがとう。
I haven't understood a word, but I've been enchanted and bewitched by Julie Fowlis, Goddess of music. His magical voice has leaded me from Italy to the Land of the Eternal Youth...
AND SHE PLAYS THE FLUTE!!!!! what a babe. you across the ponders are lucky to have ladies like this.
She is playing a whistle, or penny whistle, which is a common instrument in Scottish and Irish traditional music. And yes she is a babe. I'm sure her husband Eamon on the Irish Bouzouki thinks so also. She is singing in Scottish Gaelic which is similar to Irish Gaelic, but not exactly the same.

AnnMarie Tornabene
The isle must be North Uist in the Outer Hebrides ;)
guyfihi
Thought the guy playing bouzouki was not her husband, but the guy on the guitar :/
She hugged me once when I saw her sing at Exeter. What an amazing person. xx
Her voice is pure music...
I love Celtic music. Irish or Scottish, they're both beautiful.
i don't understand a single word aside from slainte lol but the music, and specially Julie's voice is undoubtedly amazing! Scottish and Scotland are ❤
she looks like an elvish princess haha... so beautiful
+Gaurav Cheema
more exactly, she sounds like one :)
I live in Ft Wayne,In and I can trace my family line to Kilkenny. I know I still have family there. This brings tears to my eyes, such beauty.
utterly beautiful.
Wonderful. Just plain wonderful.
My people singing always brings tears to my eyes.
I've no idea what she's saying, but I love the sound of that language, and her singing, of course! This is one which gets many replays.
lovely voice like a bird and music I remember my holidays in Ireland, thank`s
I just love Julie!
I listen to her quite a lot and i love when she does puirt a beul!
I like this song and the singer-Julie
The city I used to live - Lugansk - was founded by a Scot, maybe this explains why I am in love with everything that comes from Scotland beginning with songs and ending with whiskies ))) Her singing is DIVINE!!!
Am so proud, that's a Scottish lassie,
Thank you kindly! I will try em out and get back to you. A live gig must of been amazing. Even more so in New York City!
Her voice is so soothing, it's lovely 💛
The more I hear Duncan on the fiddle, the more I like that guy. He has technical ability, but such a mellow tone, almost viola-like. And Julie shines on the whistle, playing triplets.

Saw at the Stables,one of our best ever gigs!
I am in love. lol
Me too!!!! :)
Now that's playing together! Beautiful! Perfect timing!

This is amazing. Her voice is just faultless. Amazing song as well.
I live in Sacramento and have relatives in Kilkenny also. Several years ago I was hiking with my friend near Lake Tahoe and we encountered 3 young Irish guys that were confused about directions. I told them my last name and said I had relatives in County Kilkenny and he said in his Irish accent, "Yah there's some of them thar." Never forget it!
Time of angels
Beautiful voice, beautiful Song,and very beautiful Lady.

In the age of the internet, I think it's safe to say that languages can become immortal.
A language may not be spoken for a hundret years, but if there's enough of it online people will be abled to relearn it.

beautiful music and beautiful language!!

Wow. Just beautiful.
beautiful voice, beautiful song ! i just love to listen to gaelic music :)
Great Music Great Voice... I love it ...
It is such a beautiful language. I am deeply saddened that in my study of older language, I forgot that Latin and Greek weren't the only ones that have been beautiful and that Greek wasn't the only one that's still surviving. It seems that now is as good a time as any to fix that, though. I can't help wanting to immerse myself in this beautiful language, music, and culture.
If your stateside, shes going over there to tour soon. I saw here as part of Celtic connections a few nights ago, and she sang this song.
Gàidhlig! :-) Is mòr leam Julie Fowlis! 'S e Bana-Phrionnsa Uibhist a th'innte. :-)
her voice is giving me goosepimples right now...wow
That violinist is fabulous.
The fiddler is Duncan Chisholm, I think. A pretty major artist in his own right - well worth digging out his recordings.
