about

Niall MacIllEathain arr. Mary Beth Carty

This tune was included on Glendale ’77: The Cape Breton Festival of Fiddlers Recorded ‘Live’ LP and is a composition of Neil MacLean (1895 - 1962) aka. the "Govan Bard" from Tobermory, Scotland. “My Mother” was written around the time of the Spanish Flu and published in an undated collection called Orain is Dain. The day after I had recorded my friends playing the fiddle tracks at my home, another wave of C-19 came to our province with a strict lockdown. It was a miracle that this recording came together in time to be released as a single on May 7th 2021 in honor of Mother’s Day and Gaelic Awareness Month.

lyrics

Thoir mo shoraidh nunn thar chuantan
Gu mo mhàthair, 's fhada bhuam i
Cha chùm astar mòr a' chuain a gaol o m' chridhe
'S i rinn m' altram 's mi nam phàiste
'S ann na gràdh a fhuair mi m' àrach
O, chan fhàillinnich gu bràth mo spèis-sa dhi

Ged a tha mi seo air faondradh
Ann an tìr taobh thall an t-saoghail
'S ged tha cuantan sgaoilte eadar mise 's i
'S e mo dhùrachd a dhol dhachaigh
Gu mo mhàthair anns a' chlachan
'S a bhith 'g àileis bhith nam chailiag bheag a-rìs

Tha mo smuaintean oirre nam dhùsgadh
Na mo chadal tha i dlùth dhomh
Tha i daonnan air mo chùram anns gach nì
'S tha a pearsa aoigheil shunndach
Na mo shùilean fad na h-ùine
'S e bhith faighinn null d' a h-ionnsaigh rùn mo chridhe
