Cuimhnichidh na Clachan (The Stones Remember) — Celtic Music | Scottish Gaelic Ballad of Culloden

A haunting original Scottish Gaelic ballad set in the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden (1746). A woman returns to the ancient standing stones where she once said goodbye to her Highland lover — and waits for him still, across the centuries. For fans of Outlander, Celtic folk, and the haunting traditions of Highland Gaelic song. Cuimhnichidh na Clachan (The Stones Remember) is a song about eternal love, the cultural wound of Culloden, and the old Gaelic belief that landscape itself carries memory. The wind still hears their names in the mist. The stones remember everything. 🎧 Stream on all platforms: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/arti...

[Sèist] Cuimhnichidh na clachan gach nì a bha eadarainn Cluinnidh a' ghaoth fhathast ar n-ainmean anns a' cheò Ged a shiubhlas na linntean mar uisge sìos an gleann Tha do ghaol nam chridhe cho buan ris a' chuan [Verse 2] Bha thusa nad sheasamh ann fo bhreacan nan Gàidheal Do chlaidheamh aig do thaobh 's a' ghrian air do ghruaidh Cha tuigeadh sinn a chèile ach thuig mo chridhe d' shùil Rug thu air mo làimh gu sèimh — "Na biodh eagal ort, a rùin." [Verse 3] Thàinig madainn Chùil Lodair 's chaill sinn solas an latha Ruith an fhuil air a' mhonadh mar abhainn dhearg gun chrìch Phòg thu mi aig na clachan mun deach thu sìos don bhlàr "Fuirich rium," thuirt thu rium, "ged a bhiodh e ceud bliadhna." [Verse 4] Tha mi nam sheasamh fhathast far an robh sinn còmhla uair Tha m' fhalt air liathadh leis na bliadhnachan ach tha mo chridhe òg Èist, a ghràidh, ri guth nan clachan — chan eil thu air do dhìochuimhneachadh Bidh mi a' feitheamh riut gus an tig an ath cheò. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ENGLISH TRANSLATION ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [Verse 1] On the summit of the Hill of the Fairies, where the tall stones stand I laid my palms upon them and the world fell away from me Heavy mist lay on the moor and the wind was weeping faintly "Return," said the earth, "return to your true beginning." [Chorus] The stones will remember everything that was between us The wind still hears our names in the mist Though the centuries flow like water down the glen Your love in my heart endures like the sea [Verse 2] You stood there beneath the tartan of the Gaels Your sword at your side and the sun on your cheek We could not understand each other's words, but my heart understood your eyes You took my hand gently — "Have no fear, my beloved." [Verse 3] The morning of Culloden came and we lost the light of day Blood ran across the moor like an endless red river You kissed me at the stones before you went down to the battle "Wait for me," you said, "even if it takes a hundred years." [Verse 4] I am still standing where we once stood together My hair has greyed with the years but my heart is young Listen, my love, to the voice of the stones — you are not forgotten I will wait for you until the next mist comes. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Written & performed by Celtic Echoes © Celtic Echoes — All rights reserved If this song moved you, please like, subscribe, and share.
