We just finished the 7th track for our upcoming album! It’s a beautiful Scottish Gaelic song called Iain Ghlinn Cuaich. Here are the translated lyrics for the version I sang:
Oh Iain of Glen Cuaich, it is not often that one encounters your like
That ringletted head of hair tight curled to the roots
It was your beautiful handsome appearance that left me love-sick
And there is no fault to be noted about you from head to toe
I can’t begin to express a third of your worth
Better to catch a glimpse of your face
Than the new grown dew laden forest in sun
The desire of my eyes is to catch close sight of you
My love deserves a crowned heiress under him.
Iain, Iain, my love, why did you turn your back on me
Without a thought for the love we once had?
I never gave my respect to any other man under the sun but you
And neither will I until my body is under the ground …

I have been away a while and missed your recent posts-sorry. Your article on Richard Todd was nice-He was the last of the movie greats, a brave soldier, talented actor and a true gentleman. Sadly he was never knighted by his Queen.
I was interested to read how your interest in Robin started with the Erroll Flynn film-a real classic!
The lyrics to the Scottish Ballad Iain Ghlinn Cuaich is stunning- I look foward to the release of your album!
Best wishes
Clement
Love,
