 Tighinn Air A' Mhuir Am Fear A Phosas Mi

 A full Gaelic, or Gaidhlig, song by Capercaillie. The song's name is pretty
 straightforward...

     Tighinn - will come/coming
     Air - on
     A' mhuir - the sea
     Am fear - the man
     A phosas - marry
     Mi - me

 A man coming from the sea will marry me! The lyrics are as well not too hard
 to translate, but I have utmost respect to Gaelic speakers for being able to
 speak in the language fluently. I for one can't do that. I believe this is the
 limit of learning a language without chances to use it.

 This is again, if I understand correctly, a traditional Gaelic song. I didn't
 look for any explanation nor the background story of the song, so I have no
 idea why a beautiful blonde lad will be coming from the sea, nor any idea why
 he being a non-drinker is a nice thing. I guess it is some kind of metaphor
 to say the best is yet to come?

 I remember I first heard it by chance on Youtube. The melody just stuck in my
 brain and I couldn't stop humming it myself. A very captivating song and, a
 plus for me, good learning material of Gaelic!
