An Eala Bhàn (The White Swan), by Julie Fowlis.

 

An Eala Bhàn - The White Swan

 

Song composed by Dòmhnall Ruadh Chorùna (Donald MacDonald of Coruna)

– a Scottish-Gaelic poet from North Uist, whilst fighting

in the battle of the Somme, in the trenches of the Great War – 

for his love, Mhagaidh Nic Leòid (Maggie MacLeod).

 

As performed by Julie Fowlis from the album "Dual",

that is very much recommended to lovers of Gaelic song and/or culture.

Tout simplement des hommes...
