A Dream Like Mine

    Tha Mo Ghaol Air Àird A’ Chuain
    Julie Fowlis

    I heard this song in the trailer of Pixar’s upcoming movie Brave. So I searched around the net and found the title and meaning.

    This song is a Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) song. The song is beautiful. And if you read the meaning, it’ll be much more.

    Below I’ll post the translation. And of course, the link to the original lyrics.

    ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

    My Love Is On the High Seas

    On a quiet evening at the beginning of May
    When the bat was in the skies
    I heard a tearful young maiden
    Singing beneath the shadow of the green branches
    The sun was setting in the sea
    And no stars yet graced the sky
    When the young girl sang sorrowfully
    "My love is on the high seas"

    The night's dew began to fall
    Each bloom yielding softly to the droplets
    The wind blew in a fragrant breeze
    Bringing life and renewal to each field
    The girl tunefully sang her song
    Quiet and peaceful like the June dew
    And this chorus constantly repeated
    "My love is on the high seas"

    Day darkened and the stars shone
    Setting their course amongst the clouds
    The maiden sat, burdened by her sadness
    Her singing could not have been more soothing
    I moved closer to the young woman
    Singing of her love sailing on the sea
    Oh sweet was her sad lament
    "My love is on the high seas"

    The music enticed me
    Nearer to the brown-haired maiden of the warm eyes
    And she prayed to the King of Heaven
    "Protect my love on the high seas"
    Her heart was breaking with love
    When I took her by the hand
    "Wipe your eyes, your love is safe
    I have returned to you from the high seas."
