featuring the Chor Leoni men’s choir
This beloved Gaelic song of longing for home is simply but richly scored for four-part mens voices and supplied with a thorough pronunciation guide.
LYRICS
O chì, chì mi na mórbheanna
O chì, chì mi na còrrbheanna
O chì, chì mi na coireachan
Chì mi na sgoran fo cheò
Chì mi gun dàil an t-àite ‘san d’rugadh mi
Cuirear orm fàilte ‘sa’ chànain a thuigeas mi
Gheibh mi ann aoidh agus gràdh nuair ruigeam
Nach reicinn air tunnachan òyrh
Oh, I’ll see the great mountains
Oh, I’ll see the peaked mountains
Oh, I’ll see the deep valleys
And see the rock clefts ‘neath the mist.
Soon will I see the home of my people
Speak to my own in the tongue of my people,
Joy and love, which I find
in the arms of my people.
I’ll not trade for silver or gold
