I find it not only good, but also absolutely useful to teach and preserve the ancient languages. They are just as important as an old picture or a sculpture. Even though we are getting closer together in Western Europe, which is good, we must never forget where we come from and what our history is, that's what we call culture. A little nationalism must be allowed, otherwise old values and art, music is also part of the art. So no matter where in the EU and Western Europe, do not let the history of the individual ethnic groups forget it would be a great pity.
Gaelic is a beautiful language that I love so much! Rapid-fire and always give me a good feel. Especially when I listen to Julie Fowlis' music. Gle snog!
I like what Julie Fowlis says in this video, and it applies to our old traditional Romanian culture as well! Celtic traditional music and Romanian traditional music are superb! Many Celts(Gals) lived in Romania as well, and left beautiful traces in our culture. Celts are one of the four ancestors of Romanians together with Romans, Thracians-Illyrians and Scythians.
My great great grandmother didn’t speak any English only Gaelic. She came from the western highlands. Her son, my great grandfather sung and wrote Gaelic songs. His name was Sandy Murdie.
Thank you Julie. I couldn't understand the words, but it was a very emotional and rewarding experience anyway! I love your music and the sound of Gaelic language sung so beautifully.
Thank you so much for bringing your culture to my ears. My family comes from Scotland so very long ago and these songs and hearing the language makes me wish that I was there in person to experience everything.
Born on Ireland but I’m ethnically Irish and Scottish. I’m so proud to be Scottish! Thank you Julie for keepin our culture alive. Bidh na gàidhlig a ’fuireach fada
This has to be one of THE cutest girls on the planet ! Aesthetically tender and refined, culturally refined and defined, fresh, youthful and wholesome, with her pale complexion and dark hair/eyes, dimples and cute facial structure; like I say, one of THE cutest, most adorable girls on the planet ! Thank God for Scotland !
It's very very unusual language. Sounded more like a something nordic. Даже не верится, что Шотландский абсолютно другой язык, не удивительно, что шотландцы не полностью ассимилировались саксами.
Not very Nordic at all. The Scandinavian languages are Germanic languages, and Finnish is a Finno-Ugric language. Not closely related to the Celtic languages.
Tá gach rud a deir Julie san fhíseán seo fiosrach agus cabhrach agus cruinn do na teangacha Ceilteacha ar fad. Gach duine! Déan, le do thoil, gach is féidir leat chun na teangacha Ceilteacha a choinneáil beo. Tá Gaeilge agus Breatnais agam i mo theaghlach. Tá mé ag déanamh mo dhícheall. Cuidigh liom le do thoil agus déan do pháirt!!
I think it is an honour to make a song with you. I have heard some songs combined with piob-mhòr, which I play. I'll be very pleased, when you invites me.
I looked it up: 04 Smeòrach Chlann Dòmhnaill [The Mavis of Clan Donald] Gach sgeul. She has also made a cd with Muireann Nic Amhloaoibh. DUAL (Irish lady, lives a far as I know in the USA)
Tiara Ilic dosent sound like that at all but i dont speak scotish gaelic, so, i will keep that information in mind...you should check out music from galicia, northern portugal and brittany lands ;) thanks
So familiar a language to me. I have both Scottish celt and norse Danish ancestry and there are some similarities with the scandinavian languages. Culture and language and connection to the land must be preserved. The language of English doesn't have the words to translate to the land and folk lore as it was the language of oppressors.
She could sing a Chinese food menu to me and my heart would melt. She’s beautiful and her voice is that of the Gods.
No it's the voice of a person. Credit where it's due.
I hope the Scottish hold us Irish in their hearts as we hold ye and realise the bonds we share
We do, forget the morons who wave the English flag{ye ken who a mean} SAOIRSE.
We're all Gaels -- Clanna nan Gàidheal ri guaillibh a chéile
Gaels standing shoulder to shoulder
Alba agus Èireann gu brath! 🏴 🇮🇪
I'm not a Gael, (unfortunately), but I love the culture of both the Scottish and the Irish Gaels.
Alba gu brath agus Erin go bragh!
First Irish I've ever heard say that😍 I thought the same but about the Irish. Celtic siblings we are, blessings!

I could not say anything that would be revelant, Blessed be all of you
👍👍
Just yesterday I was wondering about the history of Julie and her songs. Then this popped up! So grateful for this. Thank you!
Gaelic is a beautiful language that I love so much! Rapid-fire and always give me a good feel. Especially when I listen to Julie Fowlis' music. Gle snog!
Even when she was eight she looked like a little music angel.
I like what Julie Fowlis says in this video, and it applies to our old traditional Romanian culture as well! Celtic traditional music and Romanian traditional music are superb! Many Celts(Gals) lived in Romania as well, and left beautiful traces in our culture. Celts are one of the four ancestors of Romanians together with Romans, Thracians-Illyrians and Scythians.
Questa lingua suona come musica...meravigliosa!

Bidh na gàidhlig a ’fuireach fada
your scotch-irish then
Gàidhlig is the hardest language to learn than French or Cantonese. But, I am eager to learn because it's not only beautiful but also so magical.

Love this!
I love this lady and music paul p England x x x x and wish I could speek gailic ❤👍😅
I don't understand a word of what she says,but i want to learn that language,how can you not love gaelic?
did you pick up on her saying "Julie Fowlis" and "story about me" just after the boat scene?
Didn't under stand a word - but I got the message. TGFJF!
How do you say, " BEAUTIFUL!" The language as well as the young lady speaking it
Tha i glè bhrèagha agus mar sin an cànan a tha i a ’bruidhinn
Don´t understand of my older language (in ancient times we speak gaelic in north portugal), but you´re a beauty!
I hate it that my vobabulary is not sufficient to translate all Julie said. But I hope my Gaidhlig will become better. Moran taing Julie.
What a very god song Julie.
Ugh. I wish I spoke gealic. I could pick up only a few words of what she said but I love listening to her speak.
It's very very unusual language. Sounded more like a something nordic.
Даже не верится, что Шотландский абсолютно другой язык, не удивительно, что шотландцы не полностью ассимилировались саксами.
It's a Celtic language. Similar to Irish.
Not very Nordic at all. The Scandinavian languages are Germanic languages, and Finnish is a Finno-Ugric language. Not closely related to the Celtic languages.
God bless you all amen
She speaks in Scottish Gaelic.
Blessings
clearly the 2 thumbs down, are mis-clicks
This language sounds epic
Und hier noch mal auf gälisch :-)
I like the sound of this language but I have no idea what is going on.
this is scottish gaelic
Tá gach rud a deir Julie san fhíseán seo fiosrach agus cabhrach agus cruinn do na teangacha Ceilteacha ar fad. Gach duine!

Does anyone know what the name of the song in the beginning is?
Mòran taing!
Táim in ann blás na Gaeilge a bhfuil ag Julie sach maith, cé go mba ea í Gaeilge na h-Eireann agam ea.
who would give this a downvote, really?
ı love julie fowlis. which language does she speak in video.?
Scottish Gaelic alias Gàidhlig
thank u tomas. ı ve heard it first time.
where are u from?
I think it is an honour to make a song with you. I have heard some songs combined with piob-mhòr, which I play. I'll be very pleased, when you invites me.
Tá rud simplí le rá againn in Éirinn faoin ár dteanga; "Labhair í agus mairfidh sí".
For russian native language speaking Gaelic sounding a little bit like a german or maby one of scandinavian language.
Freedom to Alba !
Is there someone who can translate Julie's words? Please, write!
+Mariya Volpert Hi! If you click the "Subtitles" button, the translation comes up. :)
whats the song in the intro
Its called "Smeòrach clann Dòmhnaill" or the Song-thrush of Clan Donald. It was written by a Gaelic poet John MacCodrum in the 18th century.
Whats the name of this song? or the album??
I looked it up: 04 Smeòrach Chlann Dòmhnaill [The Mavis of Clan Donald] Gach sgeul.
She has also made a cd with Muireann Nic Amhloaoibh. DUAL (Irish lady, lives a far as I know in the USA)
Iceman 37 this song is a battle song about the clan of the donalds- smeorach chlann dimhnail
Jako Stoter Thanks Jako i heard both and i like both very much, nice and calm folk sound
Tiara Ilic dosent sound like that at all but i dont speak scotish gaelic, so, i will keep that information in mind...you should check out music from galicia, northern portugal and brittany lands ;) thanks
ic3man37 well...i don't speak scots gael fluently though I am learning it...I just looked up the song and the english translation :)
So familiar a language to me. I have both Scottish celt and norse Danish ancestry and there are some similarities with the scandinavian languages. Culture and language and connection to the land must be preserved. The language of English doesn't have the words to translate to the land and folk lore as it was the language of oppressors.
Would some one be kind enough to give a translation?
Cad is ainm an amhrán?
Smeorach Chlann Domhnaill
The fact that you speak the words of the ancients is beautiful, mine and myself wish you many blessings :-)
I want my granddaughter to know the language of her culture, so forgive me for begging for your respect, for what you possess is beautiful to me
Go raibh míle maith agaibh as ucht na bhfotheideal Ghaelainn na hÉireann a sholáthar leis an bhfíseán!
🏴🇮🇪❤️💪
Dè tha an t-òran aig an tòiseachadh?
Tha an t'òran "Smeorach Chlann Domhnaill".
aidh tha fhios agam sin a-nis, taing, lorg mi e o choinn fhada, 's e òran math a th' ann
The irish subtitles are wrong, this is not irish....Chan eil sin Èireannach ach Albannach
Sin céart! Toisc gur as Albain í Julie!!
Hmm ... "fis" translates as "short windy fart" in my language. Irrelevant yet distracting I suppose.
