Dh’èirich mi moch madainn cheòthar - I arose early on a misty morning
by Julie Fowlis
First, let me explain that in some songs there are chorus' or lyrics that are just nonsense words that sound good and are meant to make the song come together. There is no translation for them and you will see them in this song. This song is about a woman who meets her lover early one morning in the hills, they talk silly and she expresses her regret at having married a sad old man, who gives her nothing and treats her badly. She tells her lover that she would profess her love for him even at the threat of death, for he is her first love.
