Lyrics:
The coming of the winter snow upon the highland hills
Hits the mind with sorrow blind and numbs the cutting chills
Our morning days in youthful haze we'll never see again
And all the years we thought we had have left our hallowed glen
Oh if the sun comes down in December?
And the snow lies over the green
I’ll leave the last drop in my glass to remember
The eyes of my highland queen.
That Christmas day so long away when first I saw her eyes
Now every year she reappears in dark December skies
The moon it shone above the Ben as we kissed below the plough
The stars were singing as we lay upon the frosted ground
But maybe we will meet again on the circle of the sea
And in this world or the next I’ll feel her close to me
And the golden west horizon will be ours for just a while
When the snowflakes of our future will melt upon her smile
il o ho ro 's tu mo run
il o ho ro 's tu mo nighean
Song by: Robertson/Macphail - Zábava

No other accent graces the English language like a Scottish accent, and few can turn a phrase like the Scots.
Brings me back to high school when me and my friends were coming back from a game and blasting this tune thought the bus. Memories that will live on forever
Beautiful song. It hits home so hard that this song refers to December, which is the last month I really had with my first wife, who died in 2011 from cystic fibrosis, aged 28. She had a (relatively) healthy December, we went out for New Year's Dinner, she woke up ill first day of 2011, and a few days it was off to the hospital from which she never came out of alive.
I am now listening to this in December 😃
Another fan from the States. Absolutely love Skipinnish! ❤️🎶
It’s amazing to know that people from the states actually listen to our music. Scottish folk is brilliant and I’m glad that people from other places are experiencing this with us!
I am addicted to this groups music a fan from Missouri USA
From a Scot here in Aberdeen that’s so lovely to hear.
Was checking out BBC Alba from Ontario, Canada here to help me along with learning Scottish Gaelic. All my family is from Scotland and I want to know the language and pass it on to my children (Heather MacFarlane is my first and middle name lol) anyway, I came across a New Years Eve performance of your group...what can I say!! I am in love and will share this like crazy. What An AMAZING talent you all are with a sound that is brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us all!
I saw Skipinnish live in Edinburgh last weekend and there were amazing,one of the best bands I have heard in a while
I have been brought to Skipinnish by a random connection to Gary Innes. Will be buying CDs but can't do it this month as am short of cash til next pension payment tips up. Love the music and thanks to whoever has put it up.

For those wishing for a translation for the Gaelic parts, here is what I have interpreted:
I believe the first like should be "rùn" with the accent, because that would translate to you are my motive. I had a flick through my Gaelic dictionary and can confirm that "run" without an accent did not appear as a word so this makes me more certain. For the second line, "nighean" can mean daughter, but it can also mean girl/lass and given the romantic context I'm leaning towards the latter of "girl" and that it's being used in the same way some people call someone "my girl" in a relationship.
The "il o ho ro" part is a bit like "woah oh/la la/hey!" in that it's there for the sound and not meaning.
And so the translation reads:
*il o ho ro, you're my motive*
*il o ho ro , you're my girl*
It’s often used with a wider meaning than that as joy, love, meaning. There’s a song called mo run geal og - my fair young love
The new Runrig
Why do the vocals sound different on the videos vs the Spotify versions?
2 different singers. The singer you’re hearing on this song is Robert Robertson and he sings in a band called tide lines now. Very sad they never added this version to Spotify
Such an amazing song by such a talented band. I'll be sharing your work and spreading your words down here in England gentlemen!
good
Indeed
very braw. tapadh leibh
'S e comhlan cuill sgoinneil nach eil x
What's is the translation for:
il o ho ro 's tu mo run
il o ho ro 's tu mo nighean
The last one mean you are my daughter but the first one idk
il o ho ro ‘s tu mo run (your my run
I believe the first like should be rùn with the accent, because that would translate to you are my secret/motive. For the second line, nighean can mean daughter, but in this context I believe it means "girl" in the same way some people call someone "my girl/lass" in a relationship.
"Il o ho ro" is a bit like "woah oh/la la/hey!" in that it's there for the sound and not meaning. And so:
*il o ho ro, you're my motive*
*il o ho ro , you're my girl*
I have an question. I first heard this song through this video many years ago. When I recently looked it up on Apple Music, it sounds like an entirely different singer. Did the band change singers or did he decide to sing it with a very different sound?
the mince and tatties made me so hungry
Have you Hird p
any chance of some fiddle sheet music??
Did u ever get it 😂
Anyone know what they are saying at the end?? Thank you!
"Il o ho ro ‘s tu mo run, il o ho ro 's tu mo nighean," I dont know the exact translation though.
What is the translation for the last part
il o ho ro ‘s to mo nighean mean you are my daughter
il o ho ro ‘s tu mo run Means you are my run
This is copied and pasted from another comment I made:

I'm a tad confused, I saw the credits, but who was who? As in, who played which person? Thanks
Caroline Gorman
Ann MacLellan Yes?
Caroline Gorman I WAS IN IT YAY
My aunt played the wife
Found a band to replace the hole left by Runrig
And an apple is enough for the girlfriend :)
Oh no 😭 He wasted the mince and tatties
Robert Roberston was so much better, pity he left. The band isn't hardly as good without him.
