Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and though I am of neither Irish or Scottish background, I am hoping to get help tranlating some lyrics. It's actually the spoken word intro to a song by one of my 80's favourites, synth-rock group 'Strange Advance'. To be honest, I'm not sure whether this is Irish or Scottish Gaelic - the credits on the CD only make reference to a 'Gaelic voiceover' but nothing more. I've always been curious as to their meaning and how it relates to the rest of the song.

Here is the sample mp3:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

The reading is in Scottish Gaelic, so I'll just lock this thread in the Irish section and keep the duplicate in the Scottish section open for discussion.
