FèisTV: Iona NicDhaibhidh - An Uiseag

Seo a’ chiad òran a thagh Iona NicDhaibhidh airson am pròiseact Fuaran aice – An Uiseag. 🐦

’S e pìos ainmeil leis a’ bhàrd Pàdraig Chaimbeul à Bràgar a th’ ann, far a bheil e a’ moladh nàdar tro ìomhaigheachd shocair ach cumhachdach, stèidhichte air an uiseag fhèin. 🌲 Tha samhlaidheachd chreidmheach ri fhaicinn cuideachd, a’ sealltainn a’ cheangail spioradail a bh’ aige ri nàdar agus ri Dia.

Chuir Pàdraig Caimbeul seachad a’ mhòr-chuid de a bheatha ann am Bràgar, Leòdhas, agus bha e ainmeil mar dhuine glè chràbhach, mac-meanmnach agus easgaidh. 💛

Le taing do Mhaoin Dualchais a’ Chrannchur Nàiseanta, agus dhaibhsan a tha a’ cluiche a’ Chrannchuir Nàiseanta.

Here’s the first song Iona Davie chose for her Fuaran project – An Uiseag (The Skylark). 🐦

This well-known piece by Bragar bard Pàdraig Campbell celebrates nature through gentle yet powerful imagery centred on the skylark. 🌲 It also features strong religious symbolism, reflecting the bard’s spiritual connection to both nature and God.

Pàdraig Caimbeul spent most of his life in Bragar, Lewis, and was known as a deeply devout, imaginative and energetic man. 💛

FèisTV: Eilidh Chandler - Mo Dhòmhnallan Fhèin

Nuair chruinnicheas an òigridh gu mire is gu sòlas,
Bidh mise nam ònar san t-seòmar gun ghleus,
A' cuimhneachadh còmhraidh an fhleasgaich a leòn mi,
'S an gaol thug mi òg do mo Dhòmhnallan fhèin.

Seo an dàrna òran a thagh Eilidh Chandler airson am pròiseact Fuaran aice - ‘Mo Dhomhnallan Fhèin’. ’S e òran a chaidh a sgrìobhadh le Niall MacLeòid a th’ann, agu san òran tha boireannach ag ionndrainn Dòmhnall - seòladair a thuirt a pàrantan nach robh freagarrach - ach bliadhna às dèidh dha falbh, tha an gaol aice dha fhathast làidir.

This is the second song chosen by Eilidh Chandler for her Fuaran project – ‘Mo Dhomhnallan Fhèin’. It is a song written by Niall MacLeod, and in it a woman longs for Donald - a sailor her parents said was unsuitable - but a year after he left, her love for him remains strong.

Le taing do Mhaoin Dualchais a’ Chrannchur Nàiseanta, agus dhaibhsan a tha a’ cluiche a’ Chrannchuir Nàiseanta. Thanks to The National Lottery Heritage Fund and National Lottery players.

Soillse air Alasdair MacIlleathain, ùghdar fìor shoirbheachail eadarnàiseanta le Gàidhlig

MacLean thought he could have written better in Gaelic than English. Originally broadcast on BBC Alba, “Alistair MacLean – An Sgeulaiche” celebrates his work & laments his loss to Gaelic literature (in Gaelic with English subtitles).
