Èirich

from Tairm by WHɎTE

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The hotly-anticipated second album from award-winning band WHɎTE, following the release of their “absorbing” debut album ‘Fairich’ in 2016 (fRoots).

    WHɎTE infuse Gaelic song – original and traditional – with the newest techniques in electronica.

    With an interpretation and direction described as being “important for Scottish music in general and Gaelic in particular” (Alun Woodward, Chemikal Underground Records), WHɎTE’s unique sound has been described as “achingly beautiful” (fRoots), “moody and alluring” (Songlines) and “wonderfully evocative” (Scots Whay Hae!).

    The duo comprises electronic composer, musician and Scottish Album of the Year-longlisted Ross Whyte (Aberdeenshire) and Gaelic singer, songwriter and twice-nominated Hands Up for Trad Gaelic Singer of the Year Alasdair C. Whyte (Isle of Mull).

    The album’s title, ‘Tairm’, is a Gaelic word which can be translated as ‘echo’ or ‘gathering summons’. ‘Tairm’ features a collection of original Gaelic songs, new arrangements of traditional Gaelic songs and instrumental works.

    The band represented Alba/Scotland with the first single from this second album, ‘Tairm’, at the Liet International 2018 XXL international new song competition in Friesland.

    ‘Cionran’, an original Gaelic song from the band’s debut album ‘Fairich’, received the 2017 Hands Up for Trad/Creative Scotland Nòs Ùr Songwriting Award.

lyrics

Èirich (‘ascend’)

an dùbhlan
an dragh
an teagamh
an t-iomagan
an imcheist
an duais

neo-fhoisneachd
mun èirigh
mun ruith
mun leum
mun togail
mun luach

bi dalma, dàna
bi sùimeil, spèiseil
bi moiteil, pongail
bi gnìomhach, buadhach
*****
bi dalma, dàna
bi sùimeil, spèiseil
bi dìleas, dòigheil
bi easgaidh, briathrach
bi moiteil, pongail
bi gnìomhach, buadhach

le siùbhlachd thig soirbheas is buaidh
an t-àm, an cothrom, an linn
le caidreabhas thig aithne is clì

-----

the challenge
the concern
the hesitation
the doubt
the dilemma
the reward

uneasiness
about the ascent
about the run-up
about the leap
about rising
about its worth

be bold, be intrepid
be attentive, be respectful
be proud, be articulate
be industrious, be influential
*****
be bold, be intrepid
be attentive, be respectful
be true, be ordered
be willing, be loquacious
be proud, be articulate
be industrious, be influential

with fluency comes success and sway
now is the time
with affinity comes knowledge, identity and strength
