Fear A Bhata: Gaelic words please
Marjorie
I have heard the song Fear A Bhata in English with just the one line:
Fear A Bhata ........(two or three Gaelis words follow)
Can anyone give me: the complete Gaelic for that song?
translation for that one line - which I think has to do with a
boat.
Regards,
Marjorie

I've got a midi of it but no lyrics. I can post (e-mail) it if you want.
See the Scottish music link in my pages. There may be something there,
thats where my midi came from.
If its the song that the (Islander) Commando rowing teams sang as they
competed. Lord Lovat was told that the words where so old that they had
lost their true meaning.

'S tric mi sealltuinn o'n chnòc a's àirde

'S tric na deóir a ruith o'm shùilean
An tig thu nochd no'm bi mo dhùil riut
No'n dùin mi'n dorus le òsna thùrsaich
Repeat Chorus
Gheall mo leannan dhomh gun dhe'n t-sìoda
Gheall e siod agus breacan rìomhach

Bidh mi tuille gu tùrsach deùrach
Mar eala bhàn 's an déigh a reùbadh
Guileag bàis aic' air lochan feùrach

Repeat Chorus
In the chorus, the words 'sna horo eile are called vocables, and quite common
in Gaelic songs. They are considered filler words, and generally have no
meaning.
My apologies in advance for any typos.

Here it is in the old-style spelling as I don't care for the new
style, and haven't bothered to learn it.

If your browser can't handle accent marks, you'll find the song below
with Usenet accents, where / represents an acute accent, and \ a
grave, both appearing above the preceding vowel.
<tedious blether which may be safely ignored>
Consonants are not accented in Gaelic, only in Irish, where a dot
above the consonant indicates lenition, aka aspiration, represented by
"h" in Gaelic.
However, there is a trend in Irish to using the Gaelic "h" as it
doesn't need specialized keys and unlike other Celtic languages where
the pronunciation change is indicated by a different initial letter.
Breton: mer'ch = a girl; ver'ch = oh girl!
In Gaelic you can always recognize the root word; e.g. Māiri ->
Mhāiri. (Ma\iri -> Mha\iri.) which is a much more sensible system and
demonstrates the innate commonsense of our ancient scholars!
If our modern scholars decide to adopt the Brythonic system to write
Māiri -> Vāiri (Ma\iri -> Va\iri), I shall stage a one-man demo to
protest such nonsense. It would be interesting to see what they might
come up with to represent the nasal quality of 'mh" as opposed to "bh"
if they were both written as "v". Bad enough to blink for a moment at
"den" before realising it now represents "de 'n".
However, it'll all be academic in 200 years, when the descendants of
our current Highland culture experts will be quarrelling on s.c.s.
about whether Gaelic and Broad Scots were really spoken languages or
just two more 19th century inventions to titillate King George.
I can tell you about Gaelic, because when le chic McGrégeur et moi
moved to Edinburgh from Paris years ago to invent clans and tartans so
we could make a fast franc off the tourists, M. de Cockburn created
Gaelic to make the scam more authentic - after accidently inventing
Icelandic because he was tired. I remember someone said he had sprayed
coffee all over his monitor while reading the post. Michel Wéde was
credited with the notice board on Princes Street that says "If your
name is 'ere, you 'ave a tartan! Aaron, Aaronowicz..."

Here's a version I have -- remember, people, 'slowly, with feeling'
"Fear a' Bha\ta" authoress unknown, translation by L. MacBean
Fhir a' bha\ta, na ho/-ro e/i-le
Fhir a' bha\ta, na ho/-ro e/i-le
Fhir a' bha\ta, na ho/-ro e/i-le
Mo shoraidh sla\n dhuit's gach a\it' an te/id thu!
O, my boatman, na ho/-ro ai-le
O, my boatman, na ho/-ro ai-le
O, my boatman, na ho/-ro ai-le
May joy a-wait thee where'er thou sailest!
'S tric mi sealltuinn o'n chnoc a's a\irde,
Dh'fheuch am faic mi fear a' bha\ta;
An tig thu 'n diugh, na 'n tig thu ma\ireach
'S mar tig thu idir, gur truagh a ta\ mi.
I climb the mountain and scan the ocean,
For thee, my boatman, with fond devotion;
When shall I see thee? Today? Tomorrow?
Oh! do not leave me in lonely sorrow
Tha mo chri\dh'-sa briste, bru\ite;
'S tric na deo\ir a' ruidh o m' shu\ilean;
An tigh thu nochd, na 'm bi mo dhu\il riut,
Na 'n du\in mi 'n dorus, le osna thu\rseach?
Broken-hearted, I droop and languish
And frequent tears show my bosom's anguish
Shall I expect thee tonight to cheer me?
Or close the door, sighing, sad and weary?
'S tric mi foighneachd do luchd nam ba\ta
Am fac iad thu, na 'm bheil thu sa\bhailt;
Ach 's ann a tha gach aon diubh 'g ra\itinn,
Gur go\rach mise ma thug mi gra\dh dhuit.
From passing boatmen I'd fain discover
If they have heard of or seen my lover
They never tell me -- I'm only chided,
And told my heart has been sore misguided.
Gheall mo leannan domh gu\n do 'n t-si\oda,
Gheall e sud agus breacan ri\omhach;
Fainn' o\ir anns am faicinn 'i\omhaigh;
Ach 's eagal leam gun dean e di\chuimhn'.
My lover promised to bring his lady
A silken gown and a tartan plaidie,
A ring of gold which would show his semblance;
But, ah! I fear me for his remembrance.
Ged a thu'irt iad gun robh thu aotrom,
Cha do lughdaich sud mo ghaol ort;
Bidh tu m' aisling anns an oidhche,
'Us anns a' mhadainn bidh mi 'gad fhoighneachd.
That thou'rt a rover my friends have told me,
But not the less to my heart I hold thee;
And every night in my dream I see thee,
And still at dawn will the vision flee me.
Thug mi gaol dhut, 's cha'n fhaod mi a\icheadh;
Cha ghaol bliadhna, 's cha ghaol ra\idhe;
Ach gaol a tho\isich 'n uair bha mi m' pha\isdein,
'S nach searg a chaoidh, gus an clao/idh am ba\s mi.
I may not hide it - my heart's devotion
Is not a season's brief emotion;
Thy love in childhood began to seize me,
And ne'er shall fade until death release me.
Tha mo cha\irdean gu tric ag i\nnseadh,
Gum feum mi d'aogas a leig' air di\chuimhn';
Ach tha 'n comhaile dhomh cho diamhain;
'S bhi tilleadh mara 's i tabhairt lionaidh.
My friends oft tell me that I must sever
All thoughts of thee from my heart for ever;
Their words are idle - my passions, swelling,
Untamed as ocean, can brook no quelling.
Bi'dh mi tuille tu\rsach, de\urach,
Mar eala bha\n 's i an de/ighs a re/ubadh;
Guileag ba\is aic' air lochan fe/urach,
'Us cach gu le/ir an de/is a tre/igeadh.
My heart is weary with ceaseless wailing,
Like wounded swan when her strength is failing;
Her notes of anguish the lake awaken,
By all her comrades at last forsaken.
Cheers,

Fear a' Bhata is a relatively old song, but not THAT old. It's reputed to
be from the 1700s. The words are well known. I don't think the words have
lost their meaning.
It's about a woman (written from her point of view) who is thinking about
her man who is on a ship far away. According to Ceol Nam Feis, the song
was written in the late 1700s by Jane Finlayson of Tong, Lewis about the
man she later married, Donald MacRae of Uig.

Eilidh MacKenzie - Eideadh na Sgeulachd - Temple - COMD2048

Don't ever tell me I don't love you!
In this transliteration, 'kh" represents the "ch" in Loch and Och.
"gh" represents the same sound made with a "g" instead of a "c"; the
same "gh' sound heard in Dutch "goed".
Where "y' represents a vowel, it is indicates the "i" sound in the
English word "sigh".
A common Gaelic ending is "achd"; the final "d" is pronounced as "k".
Words ending in "c' are usually pronounced "-kh-k", like saying "Och!'
and putting a "k" sound at the end. So "tric" is said "treekh-k".
CAPITALIZED syllables in words of more than one syllable are stressed.
"ao" in Gaelic is pronounced as in the second syllable of the English
words "pleasure" or "measure". It is the same sound heard in French
"feu" (fire) or German "schoen" (beautiful). To avoid confusion, I
have left the original Gaelic spelling untouched for this sound, which
appears only here in the word "aon' meaning "one".
"u" in words like "gu" and "gur" are pronounced the same as "ao", so
I'll indicate the pronunciation with "ao". Other "u" words like "thu"
(thou) are pronounced as "oo".
Some letter combinations are nasal like French - said through the nose
- but it's almost impossible to describe them in writing, so I've
ignored almost all of them. You'll need a Gaelic speaker to sound them
for you, but in singing it's not so noticeable, so don't worry about
them. No one's going to worry if you aren't indistinguishable from a
native - after all, Gaelic speakers don't sound like the BBC when they
speak English!

("chuimhn'" is difficult to transliterate. It has three syllables,
"KHOO-iv-nyeh" like "Nyeh!", the way Jewish people say, "So what?" or
"So what does it matter?" The third syllable is very clipped and in
this case only the "ny" of "nyeh is sounded faintly. To make things
worse, it's often said nasally and is a very Gaelic sound.)

exceptions to the rules!)

Holy Mother! Well, those are the bare bones - if anyone wants to have
a crack at improving it, please dig right in!
As you can see, there are a lot of sounds in Gaelic not found in
English, which, combined with all the exceptions to the rules and very
different way of phrasing things, probably explains why it has not
been seized on as the language of choice for the European Community!
The fact that many Gaelic people speak almost totally nasally,
especially in Sutherland, makes it even harder to convey in writing
the essence of how it sounds. Yet it is a very attractive language on
the tongue of an orator like the late John Bannerman and some
otherwise perfectly ordinary citizens speak it with a combination of
voice and enunciation that makes it sound like liquid poetry. This is
why the Lord, in His Infinite Wisdom, has selected it as both the
Language of Paradise (as any Highland minister will tell you) and as
the official tongue in Tir nan Ōg, those Blessed Isles of the West!
I have never thought to enquire as to how many Isles comprise Tir nan
Ōg, or whether they are allocated nationally or tribally. As no one
has yet returned - as if anyone would ever want to leave The Land of
Eternal Youth - we shall have to wait to find out.
Still, I anticipate getting a chuckle as the Fear na Stiuėreach - the
Man of the Steering; the helmsman - pilots us towards the Highland
isle, because as we pass the Cornish isle it will almost certainly
have a large notice board threatening us with
"NO SCOTS, NO IRISH, NO WHISKY, NO WELSH SINGING AFTER 9 PM!"
(The Cornish are a bit staid; they're big tea drinkers, you know, and
for ever gorging themselves on pasties!)
