Fathainn
Faclan & Ceòl le/Words & Music by Brian Ó hEadhra
Foillsichte le/Published by Anam Communications
Sgrìobh mi an t-amhran seo airson consairt a bh' ann an Inbhir Nis a bha a' cuimhneachadh muinntir Hoirt is an dìleab.
There is much written about the evacuation and the people of the remote island of St Kilda off the Outer Hebrides. The chattering city folk speak in the verses and the islander's voice is heard in the chorus.

Sgrìobh mi an t-amhran seo airson consairt a bh' ann an Inbhir Nis a bha a' cuimhneachadh muinntir Hoirt is an dìleab.
There is much written about the evacuation and the people of the remote island of St Kilda off the Outer Hebrides. The chattering city folk speak in the verses and the islander's voice is heard in the chorus.
Tha fathainn a' dol mun cuairt, mun cuairt
G' eil daoine anns a' bhaile à Hiort, à Hiort Truaghain bhochda, mòran strì Air falbh bhon eilean gu sìorraidh O, mo chridhe trom Is e gun sòlas O, m' anam fann A' sireadh saoghal ùir Bho bhaile gu baile chun a' bhaile mhòir Saoghal bun-os-cionn, ceart gu leòr Iad cho neònach, iad cho fann Bheil iadsan a' cluinntinn ar fathainn? A' siubhal cho fada bho àit' gu àit' Aghaidhean bàna, sùilean glaiste Cà'il sibh a' dol, bheil sibh caillte? Dè tha romhaibh, mhuinntir na mara? | There are rumours going around
That St Kildan's are in town Poor souls, so much strife Forever exiled from their isle Oh my heavy heart And it without solace Oh my weakened soul Seeking a new life From town to town to the big city A topsy turvy life, sure enough They're so strange, they're so weak Are they hearing our rumours? Travelling so far, from place to place Expressionless faces, steely eyes Where are you going, are you lost? What's ahead of you, people of the sea? |
Trì Rionnagan Beaga

Thoisich mi a' sgrìobhadh seo nuair a bha mi a' dràibheadh dhachaigh aon oidhche tron a' Ghleann Mhòr. Bha mi a' smaoineachadh air mo theaghlach is mo chlann is cho fortanach 's a bha mi gun robh iad agam.
I travel all over the Highlands and Scotland through my work. I wrote this song when travelling home late one night while thinking of my home and family.

A' siubhal dhachaigh a-nochd
Tha trì reultan san speur Thar na mìltean A' losgadh gu treun A' toirt stiùireadh is dòchas Sòlas is sìth' Trì rionnagan beaga Cho prìseil dhomh fhìn Mur nach robh iad gu h-àrd Bhithinn mar bhàta gun stiùir Gun soilleireachd gach oidhche Air chall sa mhuir Dh'fheumainn neart a lorg Mo bheatha gun chiall Gun trì rionnagan beaga Cho prìseil dhomh fhìn Le fortan mar seo Chan eil sìon a tha dhìth Nan robh an aon rud a'd fhèin Thuigeadh tu mo bhrìgh 'S iad an solas nam shùil Is an t-sùmhlachd nam chridh' Na trì rionnagan beaga Cho prìseil dhomh fhìn 'S an t-aon beag a tha crìonadh Cha bhi thu fada bhuainn a ghràidh Cum sùil a-mach oirnn uile 'S bidh mo shùil-sa ort le bàigh | Travelling home tonight
There are three stars in the sky They burn brighter Than thousands of others They give direction and hope Comfort and peace Three small stars So precious to me If they weren't on high I'd be a boat adrift Without their light every night I'd be lost at sea I'd have to seek strength My life with no sense Without three small stars So precious to me With fortune like this There is need for nought If you had the same You'd understand my words They are the light of my eye The peace in my heart The three small stars So precious to me And the one which is fading You won't be far from us my love Keep an eye on us all And I will look adoringly upon you |
Tuilleadh a' tighinn | More soon!
