Contin (Gaelic: Cunndainn) is a Ross-shire village and civil parish between Strathpeffer and Garve in the Highland council area of Scotland. The parish has a population of 675.
The church in Contin is dedicated to St Maelrubha or Máel Ruba and is on Contin Island which lies in the Black Water (Conon) and is reached from the rest of the village by two bridges, one foot and the other road. The present building dates back to the 18th century but there has probably been a church on this site since the 7th or 8th century.
According to a booklet "Parish of Contin 690 to 1990", based on research by Rev. A. C. Maclean F.S.A., J.P. Minister from 1906 to 1937, published by the Church of Contin "Between 1485 and 1487 the Macdonalds and some of their allies (about 1,000 men) meeting at Contin, on their way to a punitive raid against the Mackenzies of Kinellan, discovered the church was filled with the aged men, women and children trusting to its sanctuary. Alexander Macdonald ordered the door to be shut and the building to be surrounded so that none could escape. He gave orders to set the church on fire, and everyone within - several hundreds - were burnt to death. Vengeance from the Mackenzies and Macreas was swift. After the battle at Pairc, one or two hundred out of 1,800 to 2,000 Macdonalds and their followers, who had eventually gathered at Contin, were left to escape as they might."
Mi vida es hermosa porque existes tu,
hermosos son mis días porque veo tu luz
llevas ese fuego que hay en mi corazón
para toda mi vida tu eres la razon....oooh!
Es que tu cariño conmigo compartiste,
ya no estoy triste, no estoy tristeee
y a cambio de nada tu amor me diste,
ya no estoy triste, no estoy tristeee.
Felicidad, eso es lo que tú me das..
felicidad, cada mañana al despertar
felicidad, desde ti y para siempreee (x2)
Los pajaritos cantan al verte sonreir
es que tu amor al mundo logras transmitir
Y aunque siento dolor por quienes no estan maaaas
con tu sola presencia todo quedo atrás
por siempre junto a ti un día tu me dijiste
ya no estoy triste, no estoy tristeee
es que me enseñaste que el amor existe
ya no estoy triste, no estoy tristeee
Felicidad, eso es lo que tú me das..
felicidad, cada mañana al despertar
felicidad, desde ti y para siempreee (x2)
y a cambio de nada tu amor me diste
ya no estoy triste, no estoy tristeeeee
Felicidad, eso es lo que tú me das..
felicidad, cada mañana al despertar
felicidad, desde ti y para siempreee (x2)
