'Let It Go' (Frozen) in Scottish Gaelic

Описание: #letitgo #frozen #disney #gaidhlig #gaelic

Music and lyrics: Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez
Translation: Natalie Nic Shim

It’s been a while since I made a video, but I recently received a request for a Scottish Gaelic version of ‘Let It Go’ (thank you, @igotadried!). It feels good to finally complete the Gaelic trilogy – see below for links to the Irish and Manx versions.

I’m afraid my Scottish Gaelic isn’t that great: I’m mainly reliant on my knowledge of Irish and Manx. However, all things considered, I feel this came together pretty well. It’s a shame the same can’t be said of my singing! (It’s such a difficult song to perform!)

As always, please feel free to use my translation; however, I would ask that you credit me as translator (and the original composers, of course). And please send me a link so I can hear you perform it - I'd love to hear it sung by someone more tuneful than me! Tapadh leibh!

LYRICS:

S’ friochdach fuar a tha gaoth a tuath
Chan eil làrachd ann an sneachd
’S coltach gur mise a’ bhanrigh
Air rìoghachd seo na haonarachd
A’ ghailleann fheargach mar an doineann seo nam chridhe
Tha mi sgìth de theicheadh fad na tìde

Gam fhalach fhèin bho amharc nan sùl
Dh’fheuch mi ri bhith dleasail strìochdte umhail
Fo rùn, bi ciùin, gam cheilt bhon t-saoghal
Ach tha facal à beul

Tha mi saor, tha mi saor
Chan urrainn dhomh a chumail fodha
Tha mi saor, tha mi saor
Cha bhi mi nam thost nas motha
Dha ghoistidheachd, cha ghabh mi diù
Thigeadh an stoirm
Is suarach agam am fuachd co-dhiù

Tha an saoghal cho bìogach
Bho àirde nam beann an seo
Tha deireadh ri gach teagamh
Cha bhi eagal orm gu deò

’S mithich dhomh briseadh a-mach
Tha deireadh a-nist ris a h-uile bhac
Gun cheart, gun cheàrr, gun riaghailt sam bith
Seo mi

Tha mi saor, tha mi saor
A’ ruith còmhla ris a’ ghaoith
Tha mi saor, tha mi saor
Chan fhaic thu deur a-chaoidh
Seasaidh mi an làrach gu ceann an àirde
Thigeadh an stoirm

Sradagan de sholas geal a’ sgaoileadh a-mach nan deann
M’anam a’ dannsadh ann an criostalan-deighe am measg nam beann
Agus tha an tuigsinn cho follaiseach ri soillseachd lais
Tha na làithean sin seachad a-nist, is cha bu toil leam a’ dol air ais

Tha mi saor, tha mi saor
Ag èirigh mar thighinn an latha
Tha mi saor, tha mi saor
Cha bhi aon nì mar a bha
Tha linn ùr a’ toiseachadh an-diugh
Thigeadh an stoirm
Is suarach agam am fuachd co-dhiù
