Little by Little Beag air Bheag
This is the second part of a lovely wee Scottish Gaelic song which Joy has hand-picked to celebrate Scotland's Year of Coasts and Waters. This is the verse of Far am bi mi fhìn and is sung by Joy Dunlop. Watch the video then learn the song line-by-line. This video was originally filmed for LearnGaelic’s popular social media strand ‘Learn a Gaelic song’ and the format is slightly different.
Joy used four more Gaelic lines in the second video, so let's learn them first.
and that's the song
Easy, isn't it?
fantastic
You did really well
Let’s learn the first part of the verse, because she is lovely, Joy has broken this down into four parts:
Travelling on ...
the shores ...
and walking on ...
the sand
Put that together.
Siubhal air na cladaichean 's a' coiseachd air a' ghainmhich
Travelling on the beaches and walking on the sand
Sing along with Joy!
Siubhal air na cladaichean 's a' coiseachd air a' ghainmhich
Travelling on the beaches and walking on the sand
Repeat that line, but with a new tune.
Siubhal air na cladaichean 's a' coiseachd air a' ghainmhich
Travelling on the beaches and walking on the sand
Repeat that line, it's almost the same as the first line.
Siubhal air na cladaichean 's a' coiseachd air a' ghainmhich
Travelling on the beaches and walking on the sand
Let’s learn the final line. It's the same as the first line in the chorus!
Far am bi mi fhìn bidh mo dhòchas ann
Where I will be, my hope will be there
Sing along with Joy!
Far am bi mi fhìn bidh mo dhòchas ann
Where I will be, my hope will be there

Siubhal air na cladaichean 's a' coiseachd air a' ghainmhich
Siubhal air na cladaichean 's a' coiseachd air a' ghainmhich
Siubhal air na cladaichean 's a' coiseachd air a' ghainmhich
Far am bi mi fhìn bidh mo dhòchas ann
Travelling on the beaches and walking on the sand
Travelling on the beaches and walking on the sand
Travelling on the beaches and walking on the sand
Where I will be, my hope will be there
