Òran le: Màiri NicDhòmhnaill Air a rannsachadh is air a ghabhail le: Isabelle Bain Chaidh an t-òran seo a sgrìobhadh le Màiri NicDhòmhnaill. Rugadh Màiri (NicGriogair mus do phòs i) ann an Sulaisiadar anns an Rubha air 24mh den Iuchar 1907. B’ i an tritheamh duine ann an teaghlach de naoinear. B’ e Seumas MacGriogair (Seumas Eachainn) à Cnoc an t-Solais air a’ Bhac a h-athair agus b’ e Cairstìona Mhoireach, à Pabail anns an Rubha a màthair. Phòs i Ailean MacDhòmhnaill à Tolastadh bho Thuath, anns an Ògmhios 1942 agus rinn iad an dachaigh ann an Griais far an do thog iad an teaghlach, triùir nighean agus aon mhac. Bhàsaich i aig aois 100 bliadhna anns a’ Ghiblean 2008. Bhàsaich an duine aice ann an 1985. Chan eil fhios agam cuin a sgrìobh i an t-òran seo ach nuair a bha i ceud bliadhna dh’iarr an teaghlach aice orm a sheinn aig pàrtaidh cò-latha breith a chuir iad air dòigh dhi. ’S e an teaghlach aice a thug na facail dhomh. ******************************* Composed by: Mary MacDonald Researched & performed by: Isabelle Bain This song was composed by Mary MacDonald. was born in Sulishader, Point on 24th July 1907, the third in a family of nine. Her father was James MacGregor (Seumas Eachainn) of Cnoc an t-Solais in Back and her mother was Christina Murray of Bayble in Point. She married Alan MacDonald of North Tolsta in June 1942 and they settled down and raised a family in Gress; three daughters and a son. She died at the age of 100 in April 2008, while her husband predeceased her in 1985. I don’t know when she composed this song but her family gave me the words when they asked me to sing it at her 100th birthday party. http://www.feisean.org/fuaran/gd/orai...
