Kyra Shaughnessy & Marie Hamilton - Gille beag ò

from La Rencontre by Kyra Shaughnessy

/

about

When I began working on La Rencontre I wanted to include some of the languages that my own ancestors would have spoken. I first heard Gille beag ò performed by Rachel Walker during a month-long visit to Scottish eco-village Findhorn in 2009. Marie Hamilton reminded me of it many years later and I felt called to create my own adaptation with guitar & to invite her to collaborate on it with me for this recording project.

lyrics

Gille beag ò, gille lag ò (wee boy, delicate boy)
Gille beag ò nan caorach thu. (wee boy, you are of the sheep)

Gille nan caorachan, gille nan caorachan (boy of the sheep, boy of the sheep)
Gille nan caorachan, gaolach thu. (boy of the sheep, beloved are you )
