Although my head has greyed
With forgetfulness and sadness,
And the sun of my fifty years
Has darkened under the clouds;
My thoughts are filled
With a great desire,
To see the Isle of SkyeThe elements and the mist. It is more than forty years
Since I left you willingly,
And I put down my roots
In the middle of the city;
And although I married a fisherman
Who filled my house with wealth,
You are forever in my mind
And I long to be in your shelter. But who has ears,
Or a heart which beats with life Who will not sing this song with me
About the hardship which has befallen us?
The thousands who were cleared
Deprived of their belongings and their rights,
The desires of their hearts and their thoughts
Are on the "Green Isle of the Mist". Now remember your hardship,
And keep your banner flying;
For the wheel (of change) will not go round for you
Without strength and hardness of fist;
Your cattle will be in their folds,
And every farmer will be happy -And the English would be ousted
From the "Green Isle of the Mist".
Capercaillie is a Scottish folk band formed in the 1980s by Donald Shaw and fronted by Karen Matheson. The group originates from Argyll, a region of western Scotland and is named after the bird Capercaillie, Tetrao urogallus, which in the British Isles occurs only in Scotland. Capercaillie is known for its traditional Scottish music reinterpreted with modern and experimental influences. Their characteristic sound combines traditional melodies, orchestral arrangements and Matheson's powerful voice. Among their most representative songs are "Ailein Duinn", "The Parting Glass" and "Coigeach". The album "Còmhla" (1994) is considered a turning point in their career, achieving great success both in Scotland and abroad. Capercaillie has collaborated with numerous Scottish and international artists, contributing to the dissemination of traditional Scottish music worldwide.
