This song was played on the bagpipes at my grandfather's funeral back in 1994 as his grandsons formed a guard of honour and walked beside him to his resting place and even now I still shead a tear.

Yashiya is another form of Jesus or Yeshua.
Ahiya is another spelling of Ahaya, which is translated as I Am.
