about
Faclan 's Ceòl le | Words & Music by Fiona Mackenzie
Seo amhran gaolach le beagan fhaclan ach mòran fhaireachdainn.
An emotive song on an awakening love.
lyrics
In ò, hò rò
Hoirinn eile o, hò rò
In ò, hò ro
Hoirinn eile o
Lorg mi an-dè, an-dè, an-dè
Lorg mi an-dè mo bheatha nad shùil
Chunna mi ‘n uair sin, ‘n uair sin, n’ uair sin
Chunna mi ‘n uair sin thusa ri m’ thaobh
Chunna mi an fhìrinn, an fhìrinn, an fhìrinn
Chunna mi an fhìrinn glaiste nad shùil
Chuala mi dàn, dàn, dàn
Chuala mi dàn, ‘s mise ri d’ thaobh
I found yesterday, yesterday, yesterday
I found yesterday my life in your eyes
Then I saw, I saw, I saw,
Then I saw you by my side
I saw the truth, the truth, the truth
I saw the truth locked in your eyes
I heard a poem, a poem, a poem,
I heard a poem and I by your side

Seamlessly blends electronica with traditional ballads, voices and instruments. Infectious, beautiful and irresistible music - an absolute joy! The_Diesel_44
Listening to this album's rich, beautiful melodies and spirited performances feels like seeing a fantastical other-world emerge from the Earth itself. The emotions running through "A Mermaid at Fearn" are so complex and genuine it could convince anyone that mermaids are really out there. Gyakuten
