Ishbel MacAskill often referred to as The Gaelic Diva passed away on March 31st 2011.
Ishbel was born in my hometown of Loanhead on the outskirts of Edinburgh in 1941 and was put up for adoption. Her adoptive Parents, Allan and Christina MacIver, natives of Broker, Isle of Lewis. When she was 12, she moved with her family to Stornoway, the Island’s capital, where she attended the Nicolson Institute.
Her numerous radio and television performances and countless world-wide live appearances established her position as probably one of the best internationally-known Gaelic singers.
Ishbel’s singing took her to venues throughout the UK, Ireland, Europe, Asia, Canada, USA and Australia. Her recordings are always in demand at home and abroad and significantly, sell to people who have never before heard the Gaelic language. Whether her audience was Gaelic speaking or not her English introductions to these centuries old songs of love, war, sea and landscape, exile and life itself made each one a memorable experience.
Her profound respect for the tradition was gently balanced by a humorous irreverence in her witty observations on the reality of Highland life and culture. Ishbel was deeply motivated by the rich beauty of her heritage of Gaelic music and poetry. She was especially moved by the intensely emotive quality of the poetry and, through her unique delivery, managed to convey to her audiences a feeling of involvement in the colourful history and culture of the Gael.
Here is Ishbel singing Gradh Geal Mo Chridh (Fair Love Of My Heart)
'N àm bhith cromadh ris a'ghleann
Thàinig snaidhm air mo chridh'
Bho nach d'thug thu dhomh do làmh
'S mi'n dùil nach fhàgadh tu mi
[Curfá]
Bheir mi ò hu o hò
Bheir mi ò hu o hì
Bheir mi ò hu o hò
'S mi fo bhròn 's tu gam dhìth
Dhèanainn trabhadh dhuit is buan
Chumainn suas thu gun dith
Bheirinn as a' ghreabhal chruaidh
Do mo luaidh teachd an tìr
[Curfá]
Ged nach eil sinn fhathast pòsd'
Tha mi'n dòchas gum bi
Fhad' 's a mhaireas mo dhà dhòrn
Cha bhith lòn oirnn a dhìth
[Curfá]
Dh'fhàg thu sìlteach mo shùil
Dh'fhàg thu tùrsach mo chridh'
Dh'fhàg thu tana-glas mo shnuadh
'S thug thu ghruag bhàrr mo chìnn
[Curfá]
English Translation:
Bheir mi ò hu ò hò
I am sorrowful without your company
Many nights wet and cold
I took a trip all by myself
Until I reached the place
Where was my heart’s fair love
Chorus (after each verse):
Bheir mi ò hu ò hò
Bheir mi ò hu ò hì
Bheir mi ò hu ò hò
I am sorrowful without your company
I would plough and reap for you
I would keep you unfailingly
I would like to take from the hard gravel
A livelihood for my love
Although we are not yet married
I hope we will be
As long as I have my two hands
We will want for nothing

Another Mexican or Spanish-themed licensed song I think Dot and my character could sing is "Senorita". It kinda sounds like a love song. And the reboot could be a good place for where to use it. Down below are the lyrics for how both characters would do a cover of this song.
[LYRICS]
Dot: ♪I love it when you call me señorita. I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya.♪
♪But every touch is ooh, la-la-la. It's true, la-la-la.♪
♪Ooh, I should be running. Ooh, you keep me coming for ya.♪
Background Singer #1: ♪Land in Miami, the air was hot from summer rain.♪
♪Sweat drippin' off me, before I even knew her name, la-la-la.♪
♪It felt like ooh-la-la-la, yeah, no.♪
Background Singer #1 and other male Background Singers: ♪Sapphire moonlight, we danced for hours in the sand.♪
♪Tequila Sunrise. Her body fit right in my hands, la-la-la.♪

Dot and Female Background Singers: ♪You say we're just friends.♪
Dot: ♪But friends don't know the way you taste, la-la-la.♪
