Sad Am I, And Sorrow Laden

This is an old Gaelic tune from The Celtic Lyre by Henry Whyte. Whyte was a collector of Gaelic folktunes around the end of the 19th century.. It is from the Hebrides. The Celtic Lyre indicates the tune was written by a "young gael on leaving home."

LYRICS

Sad am I and sorrow laden,

for the maid I love so well,

I adore thee, dearest maiden,

but my thoughts I dare not tell.

Ben of peaks the clouds that sever,

oft thy steeps have wearied me,

Must I leave thy shade for ever?

Then farewell, farewell to thee.

AULD LANG SYNE

"Auld Lang Syne" is a Scots poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and set to the tune of a traditional folk song. It is well known in many countries, especially in the English-speaking world, its traditional use being to bid farewell to the old year at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve. By extension, it is also sung at funerals, graduations, and as a farewell or ending to other occasions. 

The song’s Scots title may be translated into standard English as "old long since", or more idiomatically, "long long ago", "days gone by" or "old times".

2 ESO students are going to learn and then be recorded while singing this traditional song (Project Celtic countries - Click HERE and HERE to find out about other songs which 2nd ESO students are going to learn and sing,  and HERE - Vocabulary about the Celts and their world by Ana García, and HERE and HERE - Kahoot about the Celts).
