- Oran gu math sgoineal is brònach agus tha guth aig Ishbel binn is laider. Ach chan eil an t-oran seo ach air teip cassette(Lèodhas mo ghràdh) agus chan eil an e air CD sam bidh- is bochd sin. Budh toigh leam mar a bha e. Tha seist aon an fear seo nach eil ann clar eile. Tha sin:
"Dìobradh damh a mharg 'san fhrìth,
Dìobradh eala h-ealg fhìn,
Dìobradh mathair rùn a chridh'
's mi gun dàimh, gun ghaol gun dionadh"
"As a deer abandoning it's fawn in the deer forest,
As a swan deserting its young
As a mother forsaking her beloved child,
So I am left friendless, unloved,
and unprotected"
This is such a wonderful song and Ishbel's version here is the best. Her voice makes it haunting in its beauty. Unfortunately the only recording of her singing it that I know of is on a cassette tape "Leòdhas mo ghràdh". It has not been put onto CD - that I know of unfortunately,. She sings a verse here (see above) that is not in any other version of this song that is recorded.
Note for those who know no Gaelic - "Iain ruadh" (red Iain) refers to complexion, as in red haired.
Sad to hear yesterday's news. A great loss to the gaelic singing world. Ishbel helped to see the real beauty in many gaelic songs.
Stunning voice 😍 👌
I saw in live. She sang at the Montreal Celtic festival many years ago, but I bought her CD right there and then. Still listening to it.
Another beautiful song: so sad to hear the news of yesterday.
Thanks for posting this lovely song and remarkable singer; I was not familiar with her, but am grateful to have stumbled on such artistry.
How sad to lose such a singer of songs~beautiful and simply presented and so true...an angel now.
She touched the heart in a way that few can truly equal.This song brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it.Thank you so much for sharing it
Chills. Such a beautiful voice. Glad for the interpretation below.
What a pity she was only recognized as a Scottish Gaelic singer. She had a voice to compare with the best of all the Celtic singers. Hope we all appreciate what a blessing we had. I listen to her recordings every day. they remind me so much of home.
From a fellow McKaskle, sending deepest regrets and sympathy to our distant family and cousins in Skye and to the whole world for losing such a pure and immeasurable voice.
❤️
What a wonderful voice. If you listen you can hear the whole pipe tune
one of the best gaelic singers ever. What a loss to gaelic music. Such a beautiful voice.
What an absolutely beautiful voice! Just discovered her and now find out that she's gone! Damn. JayInOz
