Outlander Season 6 (Original Television Soundtrack)
Available now: soundtracks.lnk.to/outlander6AY
Arranged by Bear McCreary
Lyrics by Griogair Labhruidh
Lyrics (translation):
Sing with me a song
To the girl of my heart
Girl of my desire and my love
See the boat
Heading from land
Carrying my king from the shore
Gale and cold
Breakers and swell
Rising harshly from the sea
The drone of the surge
Song of the heroes
Striking on it fiercely with melody
Prince of virtues
The spray on his cheek
Maiden of my love departs with him
King of just men
Who left us adrift
Devastation and glory of Scotland
The sturdy saplings
Their virtue was famed
Horde of the brutal beast who slaughtered them
But we will see the day
When we hear as before
The triumphant bellowing of their young

This is the Language of my ancestors that we were forbidden to speak by the English after the battle of Culloden, thankfully it is still spoken now and is slowly making a resurgence 🙏🏼🏴
Absolutely. So much was banned, but the Scots held their traditions dear-and still do. The pipes, any weapons, tartan, Gaelic, all banned - but are here still. People were sent to prison for breaking any of the proscriptions. There is an Inn on the Isle of Seil, where the men crossing to the mainland would change out of their kilts, borrow a pair of trousers to visit the mainland, and change back, once they were on the island again. The Inn is still in business and is called Tigh-An-Truish - The House of the Trousers. Ladies used to sew a square of tartan inside their dresses.
Is a beautiful language. My ancestors we were of Ireland. I love all this landscape and when I young studied tourist guide. But I can't to travel. The dreams of my son Santiago and me someday to know all Scotia , Gales and London Liverpool by The Beatles. For the dream of my son. My grandmother was Ireland Ì wish to know some day .Patricia from Argentina. Outlander excellent. Wonderful History. Congratulations
@@patriciaimperiale213 I hope you’re dreams come true Patricia and you can visit all the places you love, you will be made very welcome my friend 🏴❤️
@@jimso771 many thanks
@@jimso771 Is my whish. Have a good life.
THAT VOICE and THAT LANGUAGE.. gives me chills. That original is great !
It makes me want to learn it .
Sadly this was the language of all the ancestors on one side of my family but when they moved from the highlands to the lowlands they found their language wasn't respected so kind of abandoned it. But they still had their gaelic presbyterian church psalms like this which is v beautiful i think. Fast forward to 30 seconds. czcams.com/video/w62TN2iCP1g/video.html
Wow.....❤❤❤❤❤❤
Me too!
Chills from the crest of my skull to my tiny little toes . . and along every major nerve in between . . . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really hope Gaelic speakers teach their children the language. It would be a shame to let such a beautiful language die. A language can convey so much more than lexical meanings. It reflects the traditions, way of thinking and history of the people speaking it.
Keep it alive!
I don't think it will survive long
Where I grew up on Cape Breton Island We have a Gaelic college and the Gaelic language is taught and still spoken by some Scottish families. The sign at the entrance to the island says a hundred thousand welcomes in Gaelic.
@@jeansparling7278 that's so cool... I tried to learn a few words myself but God... the phonetic transcription in the latin alphabet is soooooo confusing. I guess you being native speakers (or even bilingual) don't have such issues.
@@stacey_t Gaelic was badly transcribed into the Latin alphabet, I think an overhaul is needed, same with Welsh.
@@stacey_t it's a very difficult language to learn but I do know some common phrases. My mother-in-law was a member of the Gaelic society in Sydney and many Scottish singers stayed at their home during the 70's and 80's including John Allan Cameron who sang many songs in Gaelic. After his concerts we would gather at the house and sing Scottish and Irish songs till late in the night.
Beautiful.Back in 1982 I toured Scotland on my Harley and camped out in the Highlands . One morning after getting up and cooking breakfast ,out of the fog from a long way off I heard someone playing bagpipes. Until then,hearing them flow over the land out in the open, I never appreciated them. It was so haunting hearing them like that. A while later when I was on the road I found a man dressed in kilt and all playing those bagpipes by the side of the road. Nothing around for miles except heather and mountain. I’ll never forget that picture in my mind or when I hear pipes playing. Thanks for this song.
Wow! What an amazing story! Would love to have a story like that 🙂
In 2013, I went to Scotland with my parents. We rented a car and drove around a whole bunch, and one day, while stopping by the side of the road to stretch our legs, we experienced almost the exact same thing as you're describing. A man in full tartan, playing the bagpipes. I get goosebumps just remembering that.
However, as fantastic as that experience was, it wasn't the first moment when the drone of the bagpipes hit me.
That happened a few days earlier in Edinburgh.
We were walking through the city, and suddenly the shifting winds blew the sounds of bagpipes through the streets, over the traffic. It was so surreal, just remembering it makes me almost tear up with joy. I even wrote an essay about that experience in college.
I had loved bagpipes before ever visiting Scotland, but hearing them "in their natural environment" is a different experience, entirely.
This is a really moving tale. Thank you for sharing it.
That literally sounds like the greatest time ever.
I live in Michigan USA, and over the last couple years, I’ve finally decided to see all of my state and it’s no Scotland, but the upper peninsula as well as many other spots are breathtaking.
Hope I get to visit Scotland before I die.
What a fabulous experience for you. One that will stay with you for life. A very special gift for sure. Thanks for sharing.
As a former piper, the Skye Boat Song existed long before Outlander, still it is and always will be one of my favorites. Clan Galloway.
When our language was banned and our people and ways were oppressed, our songs never died
Its the indomitable spirit of the Scots..as strong, wild.and proud as the land that sprang us!
How utterly beautiful!
my dude it wasn't banned.
@@iammt2 yes it was due to the Jacobite uprising evetrhing scottish was banned. Gaelic suffered as a language. English as a language was imposed
Yeah it was. Speaking Gaelic was punishable my imprisonment or worse@@iammt2
If you haven't been touched, changed, affected by Outlander, you have no heart or soul.
🥰😭❤🎶
Unfortunately too traumatised to be able to cope with it - just triggers me right off with anxiety attacks. I appreciate the great writing and acting, but *too* realistic for me to get past.
Some parts are traumatizing esp the slave trade episodes for me..as Im black. But omg I love Sam and cat chemistry..
I'm re-watching it, ahead of watching the new season :-)
Agree
Or you're a Scottish person who doesn't appreciate the Skye Boat song being mangled for the sake of a romantic period drama made by Americans who clearly do not know any better. The song was written about a country's 25 year old leader being forced to flee his homeland to avoid assassination and the extra ease that would provide in England subjugating his country. And it seems incredibly tone deaf of the creators of this show to change the lyrics to be about an English nurse falling through time to objectify and be objectified by sexy Scots in kilts (the kilts alone... look up how they were banned in an effort to destroy Scots culture) and brutish English soldiers (that's how you know the Scots are the goodies - they didn't immediately try to sexually assault her! LOW BAR) This show may have many impressive elements, which makes sense being a collaborative work. But the general attitude towards the people this series of books and episodes is supposed to be portraying is ignorant, lazy and typical of colonialist nonsense. The only refreshing thing is that it involved white people subjugating other white people (for a change, she joked, since we have a fine history of subjugating anyone we can, including people of an almost identical genetic background) and in all honesty, refreshing is hardly the word, especially if you have any knowledge of Scottish history.
I would argue that if you've watched Outlander and not spared a moment to consider that the historical context you're enjoying involved swathes of murder, rape, cruelty, cultural desolation and baffling levels of English privilege that affect Scotland incredibly negatively *to this day*, then YOU have no heart or soul. Unless you're POC in which case you probably already get that. I know a lot of media has unacknowledged problematic settings and themes but changing the Skye Boat Song? To be about an English person? For an adaptation (run by Americans) of frivolous historical romances written (by an English person) about Scotland? No.
To give you an idea - Gaelic was stamped out so thoroughly and for so long, of all the extensive Scottish relatives and friends I have, I only know one who could listen to this version and tell me if it's the original lyrics or the BS cover for the show. Gaelic was our national language, in addition to Scots. Guess what it is now?
Oh I envy those who are just starting to watch the series... imagine hearing the season 1 theme and then this!
This is defently the series i would choose to start all over with no momory of it.
I started watching it a month ago, I'm finally on season six and I almost wish I had found it when all seasons/books where done. Sure is an epic story!
That version is the best
I rewatched from season 1 before watching 6. My memory fails me. It was so much better the 2nd time. I didn’t know about outlander until I visit led Edinburgh and inverness for the first time in 2019. The tour guide was talking non stop about it. Went home and started the series n been hooked ever since.
I’ve been deeply in love with Bear McCreary’s music since 2001 when he did BSG. He’s pretty much the best/my top composer of all time. Even over the guys who did LotR, Avatar, GoT, or a handful of other classic shows/movies. Everyone’s lives are made better by Bear McCreary’s music.
I don't understand Gaelic but it's a beautiful language. I'm Native American and the fact they are showing a language most don't know, makes me want to learn my Mohawk language. Would love to have this we a ringtone.
Your people have a wonderful history and culture too. All the best, Brett, from a Scot.
I’ve tried learning Gaelic and the Choctaw language both are my favorite heritages
I don’t care for my German or Swiss sides as much for some reason
My grandfather a highlander from lewis adopted my mother , and later we find out her real dad flew B17's and may have had native american blood. I really would love to find out what tribe .
Brett Morris, please learn your native tongue. I was fortunate enough to attend the University of Alaska (UAF) in the 1980s when the Alaska Natives (Eskimos and Indians) were teaching their culture and language to their young. And they are still active. This white girl felt honored just to be there.
@@scottishhellcat I mean I know it but not enough to have a full conversation
Thanks for all the lovely comments everyone! Gaelic lyrics up on my website! 🎶🎉🎶
Well done sir. Absolutely beautiful. 👏👏👏
Love the fact they showcase Gaelic on the show. Not many around the world know it. I have Scottish friends who learned it because of the show. Makes me want to learn my Native American language of Mohawk used now and then in season 5
tapadh leibh!
This is absolutely, by miles, my favorite version of this song. Your voice is wonderful, and hearing this in Gaelic makes a world of difference. Thank you, sir! (And I just subscribed to your channel.)
I've listened to this on loop. Brings a sense of loss, yet peace. ❤
I am an American descendant of Clan Mackenzie of Glen Coe. Before I even knew what that meant, I sang for benefits held for an organization called Scottish Rite. Before the Charity Talent Show began, they would open with four pipers. At the age of 7, the sounds made me extremely emotional. The outlander series was a catalyst for me to learn more about the culture of my ancestors. I am currently learning the language and teaching it to my daughters. This is my 6 year olds favorite song. She requests I play it repeatedly ❤
I am Australian. My maternal grandfather spoke Gaelic (however I never knew him, other than as a photo on the wall). He passed when my Mum was a teen. Gaelic was spoken in the home, and my mother knew a few words. Her older brothers were fluent. My mother's family were also very involved in Pipe Bands in Brisbane Australia. Sadly the language was not passed on in my generation. My Mum achieved her dream of going to Scotland to meet her long lost relatives. I too visited Scotland and have a greater appreciation of my heritage. I made sure a piper played the bagpipes at her funeral to honour her.
If I could give this a thumbs up every time I come back to listen to this beautiful song..........👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I am from Scottish and Irish descent. I'm 65 years old now. The youngest of my family. I wish I had listened to the old stories from my grandparents closer as there is no one left to tell them. The language is beautiful.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I'm of Ulster Scot ancestry myself! I'm 68 and wish I'd asked more questions to my grandmother who's mother was Ulster Scot! Take care my cousin!
Isn’t it x
Singing forbidden songs in an forbidden language, I love that.
This version needs to be used somewhere in show ... maybe as the final episode fades away over the SCOTTISH terrain out over the islands over the ocean? I'd play that scene on a loop over and over.
Hope you saw this week's cold open!
@@jessierobinette8790 Yes, they used it! So happy.... hopefully they will use it again.
I absolutely love this version! It speaks to my DNA although i do not know or speak any Scots gaelic!
We don't believe in endings.
I would love them to use this now that they're in America, because America was kind of the Highlanders' only way to live as they had in Scotland, free from suffocating English reign.
Cymraeg (Welsh) recently became the fastest growing language in the UK, and I truly hope one day soon that Ghàidhlig will take that title. The people saying that it cannot be done, said the same about Cymraeg until we proved them wrong.
Alba's beautiful language should never fade away, and the day is overdue for Alba to take back its tongue.
Alba gu bràth agus Gàidhlig gu bràth, from your Celtic cousin Cymru.
And I have been astounded (in the nicest possible way) to see Cornish making a come-back. I'd be absolutely thrilled to see Ghàidhlig topping the charts!
Go n-éirigh an táth libh go léir! Ó Éireannach...
Incredible link we create everyday. I speak the celtic language of my ancestors, brezhoneg (breton), and I'm learning the language of my other ancestors, the one that came in Brittany centuries ago. Dw i'n hoffi cymraeg.
@@everdeneb4811 An bhfuil aon meán sósialta agat? Is Éireannach mé ag foghlaim mo theanga dúchais, Gaelainn agus táim ag iarriadh níos mó teangacha Ceilteach a fhoghlaim mar ní neart go chéile agus ceapaim beidh sé go maith má is féidir linn ár dteangacha a mhúnu dúinn! (Do you have any social media? I am Irish and learning my native language, Irish and I want to learn more Celtic languages because there's no strength without coming together and I think it would be good if we could teach each other our languages for us!)
My great grandparents were Welsh immigrants to the US. They spoke Welsh to each others and the older kids, born over there, learned it but once they came here spoke only English to the younger ones. My granny always wished she could have learned it, and visited Wales.
As a Scotsman I’m incredibly proud of my little country, I realise that may come over as hubris but wtf. I spent my summers in Sutherland, I’ve travelled from Stornaway to the borders and beyond. There is no other place I’d rather be. Be well. ✌️

@@laudiceiacostamoralli6478 I’m sorry but I don’t understand your language, I will blame myself. I wish you well.
@@andymac345don't sweat the small stuff bro
Why should you not be proud? It has suffered a lot, given a lot and was the backbone of the British Empire. I apologise for us English.
Loved Outlander, as much as I saw, but have to say, we got to the point where we'd burst out laughing and shout, 'Oh, god! Not AGAIN!' 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This Gaelic version is so WONDERFUL !!! Griogair's voice is UNIQUE !!! 😍👏
Something about the Gaelic/Brythoninc languages...something ethereal. Hard as hell to learn, even harder to spell, but there's something in the blood that stirs when I hear them spoken or sung. A reminder that what once was, still is, somewhere alive inside me, and I'd do well to remember all the roads of my ancestors. That preserved in my soul is their will to survive.
Very eloquently said
Scots Gaelic is a beautiful tongue.
Chan eil a' Ghàidhlig cho doirbh ri ionnsachadh, feumaidh tu feuchainn
OMG! Yes! I feel the language and the music reaches deep into my soul, stirs some deep from my ancestors! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Not sure if this is correct but did you write
Gáidhlig is not so difficult to learn you need to try.
Not a Gáidhlig speaker but trying to learn with Duolingo. Keep thinking I am getting no where then out the blue I blurt out the odd phrase and I realise parts of it are sinking in.
Colin. Cailean!
This is so beautiful and nostalgic. I'm in love with Scotland and its friendly people.
This is beyond beautiful! Please don't ever let your heritage and culture be taken away!
Very beautiful. I’m a black woman with 21% Scottish and some minor Danish and Swedish percentages. This is due to my paternal grandfather. I found this version very fascinating. It’s almost a nostalgic feeling, although from a country/culture that I don’t even know.
I'm Mexican, I just watched the series and it brought me here, obviously I don't know anything about Gaelic, but this has brought me to tears. The simple fact of the nostalgia of knowing that this beautiful language is almost lost this beautiful language and all those who fell in the epic battle of Culloden! Greetings from Guadalajara, Mexico 🙋🏻♀️🇲🇽
Cántame una canción sobre una chica que se ha ido 🌹 ¿Podría esa chica ser yo?
I've always loved different cultures. I'm irish but was never taught the language.
Bear McCreary music and Griogair voice so magical as to be close to unreal
The last time I have felt that any composer + vocal performance comes close is Roy Williamson and Ronnie Browne's orignal Flower of Scotland .czcams.com/video/Or50fEiwI0w/video.html
Well, Bear actually didn't write the theme tune/melody. It's an old Scottish song called the Skye Boat Song. Though for this series the less well-known lyrics by R L Stevenson are used (though replacing "lad" with "lass") Even though Bear has written most of the beautiful music for this great series, he did not write the theme song! Far too many people get this wrong.
@@Pipingpicker Bear arranged the Skye Boat song for Outlander and Griogairs performance is superb
This made me realize how much outlander and its music adds to all characters, no matter how small or big. It’s not just the romance between J and C
Je suis Française, je ne connaissais pas l'Écosse que l'image du kilt, des cornemuses, du whisky...
Mais... j'ai découvert avec Outlader l'Écosse autrement, j'ai acheté des livres pour connaître l'histoire de ce magnifique pays, de ses traditions et sa culture et j'en suis complètement fan.
C'est absolument magnifique de beauté et je ressent un grand lien avec vous Écossais il y a des similitudes avec les français. Cette chanson est bouleversante, le son de la cornemuse est boulversant. Quand je regarde et regarde encore les épisodes d'Outlander, je suis bouleversée de voir l'épisode de Culloden, de voir le courage et la bravoure de ces hommes, sachant qu'ils allaient mourir, me fais verser des larmes à chaques fois.
Admiration pour ce pays et son peuple,♥️ entres autres
Exactement comme toi je ne connais que pas grand chose. Et suite à la série je me suis beaucoup intéressé à l’histoire du pays qui m’a beaucoup touché. Leur tradition le patriotisme leur culture magnifique.
Je suis allée une fois en Ecosse il y a 20 ans déjà subjuguée par les paysages c'était en juin les couchés de soleil sur les montagnes étaient merveilleux je remercie ma plus jeune de mes filles de m'avoir fait connaître Outlander j'ai lu au moins 4 fois les 8 tomes et suis vraiment amoureuse de cette histoire empreint de magie et d'histoire et les acteurs de la série sont fabuleux je ne me lasse pas j'attends le tome 9 avec impatience
Hopefully you can hit the translate on this.
Scotland & France have a long history together, most evident with the “Auld Alliance”, going back to 1295 it has never formally been revoked & it is considered an affectionate term for the long lasting association between our two countries. Also, our very own Queen Mary I of Scotland (known to history as Mary, Queen of Scots) was also queen consort of France as wife of King Francis II.
Il me semble qu il existe un traité de fraternité entre la France et l Ecosse, un vieux traité du moyen âge, du temps où notre ennemi commun était anglais...ce traité dit que tout écossais peut prétendre à devenir français et inversement. Je pense donc que vos ressentis sont doublement justifiés...qui sait si dans une vie antérieure....
peut-on avoir la traduction en français de cette chanson ?
Gaelic Absolutely beautiful language of my Celtic ancestors from Ireland and Scotland.
It's good to see the man behind that voice and ' It made me mindful ' that this was the native tongue of many of my ancestors.
I'm American with 39% Scottish dna, my maternal grandfather was Scottish. He died when I was a baby. I knew he was Scottish but that's all. I love Outlander and when I hear the galic Sky Boat song, I get a deep longing in my heart for Scotland! I would love to visit one day!
I learned to speak Gaidhlig na Alaba in nova Scotia and on line so I could speak to my grandmother. Hardest but the best thing I ever did. The most beautiful language ever
Scottish Gaelic, the way it sounds, reminds me of 2 things: liberty, and the love of one's family and homeland
Goosebumps and tears. I hear my ancestors calling....
Best go!
Goosebumps moment...The Gaelic language sounds so beautiful. Just like the country from which the language originated. Thank you for sharing. I love this Song
Scotland is just barren, there's a rugged beauty yes, but it's cold and miserable for most of the year, Glasgow is rubbish.
@@iceomistar4302 Unfortunately I can't judge that as I don't live in Glasgow. Unfortunately I have never been to Scotland. But my heart's desire is to travel across Scotland and see everything
@@iceomistar4302 It's a shame you see it that way
No idea what the words are saying but I can’t stop crying. It’s so beautiful.
Had this played at my dad’s funeral who was born in Dundee and moved to Australia then joined the Light Horse Brigade in Queensland and it was so uplifting then had Scotland the Brave played as he was escorted from the chapel. Everyone said how befitting it was.
Gael descendant here and lover of all things Scottish. Hauntingly beautiful. Slainte from Cape Breton
Slainte Mhath, from Scotland!
Tears....i have been reading the books since I met a lovely Scottish family in my journey to Egypt. The show is equally excellent as books, but the history is what moves me. I have been researching Scotland for years and it is just as sad as my own history of Poland...but worse. To force the clans to disappear along with their language...i cry, and scream at how unfair it is. Thank you for the song. It's is absolutely beautiful ❤
This is how the last season opening should be sung. So hauntingly beautiful ❤
Ich liebe das lied ❤
I am Canadian my husband is Scottish. We have been fortunate to visit Scotland several times. I love the highlands. This beautiful Gaelic song brings me back to all the wonderful moments we had exploring Scotland and talking with kind friendly people. ❤️ Thank you for sharing it is very touching.
Griogair's voice is spectacular.
Omg, this version should have been the titelsong. Simply stunning!
Brutally Beautiful, the emotional thunder and the mournful cries of the genocided ancients-still in the soul's subtext. yeah I know that's the way life proceeds, the bankers say. This song was sung at my 36 yr old son's funeral , who never saw Scotland but was always a roan headed Gael with a twinkling eye. Thank you. Evoked pride and tears when viewed as a father's song to his lost son.
location shooting might as well have been here in coastal Maine and further north.
Love Scotland and everything about it!!! Beautiful song
I don't know why but my daughter died a couple of months ago and I stumbled across this video it just brought tears to my eyes. Even though we didn't know this song it feels like this has always been a part of me. It's like the song of the life that wasn't meant to be. The powerful person she could've become. The love she could've received and given. The unwalked path. Even when I write this I can't help but feel connected on a very deep level to my fellow humans.
For all the bad things we do to each other and to our environment, we are one damn of romantic, stoic and fantastic species.
Absolute magic. Tapadh leibh, Griogair Labhruidh agus Bear McCreary.
Tha an t-òran Gàidhlig brèatha.

❤ I'm American indigenous so I can appreciate trying to reconnect with a language that you know was forbidden and was almost lost. I have a Scotsman hidden somewhere in our closet...lol & learning about all sides of my heritage it was important to my mother to expose me to her Scottish side. I've always loved all parts of my heritage but I have a soft side for my Scottish roots. I love this music and always feel at home when I hear it ❤
I believe the old clan scots had a lot in common with native people.
I love everthing about spiritual native traditions and the people. You have a special place in my heart.

I read some research that there were literally 3,000 native tribes in California, with pretty much that many distinct languages! About 1900, a government surveyor was sent up the Pitt River in Northern CA, very rough country. They didn't understand why they couldn't recruit native bearers. Finally one explained: 4 miles upriver there is another tribe, and we don't speak each others' language, and they will kill us if we go there.
Mr. McCreary, thank you for this beautiful version of the song!

Wow, Gaelic being sung is so interesting, how the mouth is shaped and how the sound comes out….mind blown
Me encanta la serie, los actores principales me estremecieron ya que viví una gran experiencia en cada capítulo y adoro la interpretación de jimi y claire quisiera, la continuación. Desde panamá provincia de chiriquí, david
J'adore ce chant, cette musique a vraiment une vibration particulière l'Ecosse en fond Outlander c'est magique que du bonheur 💗💫
Le galeique est une langue sublime, pleine de poésie, même si l'on ne le comprends pas, j'ai adoré quand les hommes ( dans le 1 er épisode de Outlander, l'orque Claire est ramenée dans la chaumière, les hommes font leur commentaires et la façon dont-il parle est chantant... C'est beau 😮
My family came from Glasgow and Lewis in the early 1800's. The song really stirs up my Gemmell and MacIver pride.
This version is absolutely enchanting. I love it! The gaelic language, the beautiful voice... it's just perfect. Gives me goosebumps. Absolutely amazing
So majestic , Love Gaelic 💚💙 .
Greeting from Baltic lands. 🍀🥰
I love the original Gaelic language because it gives the series even more meaning and is just part of it 👍
I really like the English opening, but wouldn't have minded if it had been in Gaelic since Season 1 either. It's just so beautiful! ❤️
This song was NOT originally written in Gaelic though!
Truely beautiful….. every piece of music I’ve heard Bear McCreary compose from shows like outlander and rings of power to games like god of war has moved my heart strings in such a profound way
Beautiful song. Gaelic is a timeless language that should never be forgotten
Прекрасный сериал, прекрасная музыка. И иногда напеваю её, хоть и не знаю слова.
Within three words, chills all over. This is what I needed today. Tapadh leibh, Griogair agus Bear! (Pardon my meagre Gaelic - I’m still learning.)
Chan eil thu dona air Gàidglig - cùm a’ dol!
'S math a rinn thu cumail suas!
Saor Alba!
The series and this beautiful song are both breathtaking. I almost cried when the song was being sung.
Outlander was and is my favorite running show. The characters are awesome, the music is top notch, and the writing is fantastic.
I was on Lewis 10 years ago. Spent 4 weeks on a croft caretaking. Solstice at the stones. The children at school learnt the language. From my island home of Tasmania to Lewis. Magical.
Hi pretty how are you doing today?
Just binged the whole series. The soundtrack is incredible. Wish I'd watched it back in 2015 when I first saw the box set at the video shop but ohwell.
Such a proud authentic version of an astonishingly beautiful song.
What a voice! Such a talent!
En ésta vida mi destino fué nacer en Argentina, bendita tierra, a pesar de los pesares. Pero siempre he Sido inquieta en cuánto a conocer e indagar otras culturas, otros paisajes, otros lenguajes, porque estoy convencida que todos somos uno. Y particularmente me he sentido como en familia con todo lo que tiene que ver con la historia de éstas tierras, la música, la mística, la magia que envuelve todo eso que amo de otros lugares. Alguna vez fuí celta, o parecido... aquí en en sur de mi país llegaron galeses que hicieron vínculo estrecho con los nativos de la zona. El sonido del gaélico, es muy parecido a la lengua de los celtas de Galicia en España, o los de Tolwing en la Patagonia. Todo es mágico, ha habido lágrimas y sufrimiento en todas las civiizaciones pero también amistad, solidaridad y alegría! Abrazo. Amo ésta serie!
How beautiful this version is! It’s such a shame Gaelic is rarely spoken
Gaelic used to be taught in Public Schools in Nova Scotia (New Scotland) Canada but I do not believe this is still the case.
@@waynereardon6826 The Gaelic was banned in Scottish schools for many years, as was Lallans, or Lowland Scots, and mant dialects. It was part of trying to stamp out Scottish traditions, culture and lore. Despite their best efforts, you'll see it didn't work! Saor Alba!
Out of this world!
How can this song and voice not give you lots of feeling 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This beautiful song is definitely on repeat .. the emotion I feel when I listen to this is beyond powerful. Out of all the Outlander songs this version is my fav !!
This touches my heart. I must’ve spoken Gaelic in a former life, it resonates and touches me so deeply.
That's what my husband says!
Me too.
Agreed. I instantly cried when he started singing.
Simplemente magia para el oído y Corazón.
Your voice and the words reach deep into me soul. Just beautiful. So good to hear my native language.
What a beautiful voice and my favourite show, never want it to end. The acting has been powerful,
The language is beautiful. I wish I could learn it. Please teach your children and pass it along to generations to come. ❤
This is so perfect!!!! Embodies the beauty of a love that transcend time and the almighty beauty of Scotland 🏴
I wish the Gaelic had been featured in the opening song from the start. It's so powerful and captured the essence of the series more effectively.
The intonations and vibrations are magical. You can feel this music.
Wow, absolutely gorgeous production, arrangement and vocals. 🥰🥰🥰
THIS is why I never skip the opening credits! Goose bumps.
I`m in love with this song!
When I hear this, my heart explodes into a million symphonies. Beautiful, just beautiful.
I can't stop listening to this it is so beautiful 😍
I can't stop listening!
Gaelic Scotland lives on, what ever it takes, I will learn, even if I take a long time and if it is difficult but I will learn, no matter how long, I will learn, SCOTLAND FOREVER.
There are some good online courses.
