“Oran Do Cheap Breatainn (Cape Breton is the Land of My Love)”
Description
Gaelic. Now I live in the mountains but I am singing about "the land of the glens": birds, cows, thoughts of winter "the time for weddings and milling frolics" and people I knew in my youth who have died.
Notes
The description is based on the translation of Creighton/MacLeod 17 in _Gaelic Songs in Nova Scotia_. - BS
