The Breath of the North – “Anail an Tuath” | Scottish Gaelic Celtic Vocal | Cinematic North

Описание: Credit to    / @neilowen9352   for the drone footage of Burghead Scotland - Thank you!

In the far reaches of the North, where the air itself seems older than memory, there is a silence that does not feel empty. It listens. It waits. It breathes. From that stillness comes Anail an Tuath — The Breath of the North — a Scottish Gaelic lament shaped not by spectacle, but by endurance.

This song is carried on the long-held breath of the North itself. Not a place bound by maps or borders, but a presence — ancient, restrained, and watchful. Sung entirely in Scottish Gaelic, the voice moves as the old songs once did: slowly, deliberately, with reverence for space and pause. Each phrase feels drawn from the air rather than forced into it, echoing the way Gaelic songs were once shared — not to perform, but to remember.

Accompanied by genuine drone footage from Burghead, the visuals mirror the song’s philosophy. The camera does not rush. It drifts. It allows the land and sky to exist without explanation. There is no demand placed on the viewer — only an invitation to remain still long enough to feel what has always been there.

Anail an Tuath stands within the lineage of winter celtic music, irish music, irish songs, celtic music, gaelic songs, gaelic song, celtic woman songs, and gaelic music, yet it is not bound by era or expectation. It is a lament without grief, a prayer without doctrine, a memory without a single name attached to it. The North does not tell stories loudly. It breathes — and those who listen hear everything.

This is music for reflection, for long hours, for moments when words no longer serve. Let the voice rise and fall like breath. Let the drones carry you. Let the North remain what it has always been — patient, quiet, and alive.

Lyrics – “Anail an Tuath”

Rann 1
Anns an t-sàmhchair tha mi nam sheasamh
Far nach eil ainm air an àm
Tha an t-adhar trom le cuimhne
Agus an saoghal a’ cumail anail

Sèist
Anail an Tuath, gluais tromhpa
Thig gu mall tro m’ chridhe fhèin
Anail an Tuath, cùm mi sàmhach
Fhad ’s a thèid an t-àm seachad

Rann 2
Chan eil guth ann ach an smuain
A’ dol seachad mar cheò bàn
Tha mi ceangailte ri rud nach fhaicear
Ach tha e an-seo, domhainn, làn

Sèist
Anail an Tuath, gluais tromhpa
Thig gu mall tro m’ chridhe fhèin
Anail an Tuath, cùm mi sàmhach
Fhad ’s a thèid an t-àm seachad

Drochaid
Nam bithinn air chall san dorchadas
Bhiodh tu fhathast còmhla rium
Gun fhacal, gun chomharra
Ach anail a’ cumail orm

Sèist Dheireannach
Anail an Tuath, fuirich rium
Mar sholas nach fhaicear fhathast
Anail an Tuath, na falbh uam
Gus an tig an sàmhchair gu crìch
