about

The poem on this track is a Gaelic translation of my poem "A Vision" which is included on my Kyberpoetica album. It was very kindly done by Angus Peter Campbell, the renowned Gaelic poet. The words for the original in English can be found on my website (as well as the Gaelic):

lyrics

Taisbean


Chì mi coille 'nam aigne
Le rùsg ùr air gach craobh
'S an àile eadar na geugan
làn reultan.

'S tha aon chraobh nam measg -
Mo chraobh-sa
Chaidh a chur nuair bha an saoghal òg,
'S i nis aost' is àrd
Le freumhan làidir domhainn san Talamh
'S geugan a' suathadh nan Nèamh.

Craobh a' chairdeas:
Philodendron.
