Gaelic Song: An Aitearachd Ard by Ishbel MacAskill

Описание: Gaelic Song: An Aitearachd Ard (The Surge Of The Sea) by Ishbel MacAskill. Something that had been on my mind for a long time, I did this a few months ago but never got round to posting it.The sound of the sea in this case is the Pacific - from Exotic Voices & Rhythms of the South Seas to be precise. The mixing of the two tracks together is all my own work, any shortcomings entirely my own.

The ceaseless surge
Listen to the surge of the sea
The thunder of the ocean
As I heard it when I was a child
Without change, without pity
Breaking on the sand of the beach
The ceaseless surge
Listen to the surge of the sea

In the woods of the west
I would not want to remain forever
My mind and my desire
Were always on the little hollow by the bay
But those folk who were generous in affection
In their happiness and in their acts
Have been scattered defenseless
As a flock of birds flees in front of their enemy

But I'll depart from you
I'll not move any more to meet you
My age and my appearance
Give an account of the shortness of my day
At the time that I am wrapped
In the cold slumber of death
My bed make up
Behind the sound of the sea

The surge of the sea
My bed make up
Behind the sound of the sea
My bed make up
Behind the sound of the sea
The surge of the sea
