Hymn to Bridget by Isaac Bonewits (Irish Gaelic)

[MisterTreesong]

Beautiful. :) I've only studied a semester of Irish but your pronunciation sounded good to me. And your singing definitely sounded good. :) Thanks for sharing!

[MsJCBurke]

I love it that you have an alto voice, too many female Irish singers are sopranos. This is very pleasing to the ear!

[ScyreMoon]

... Beautiful... Just Beautiful.

[EimearMadra]

That was lovely, and your pronunciation was quite good, too. :D Fantastic voice! "Is fearr Gaeilge briste, na Bearla cliste!"

[theromanian19]

Amazing

[LostWitch]

Unfortunately I don't understand gaelic, but for some reason this really touched me and you have a beautiful voice.

[AmySplitt]

You have a lovely voice. I came here because Isaac Bonewits has passed away, and it was fine to hear you sing his song. Although I never knew him, I know he loved beauty and sincerity, and so I'm sure he'd be touched to hear it, too.

[amoogashane]

YAYAYAYAYYAYAYYAAY U HAVE A NICE VOICE!

[Cstrife234]

If I have a daughter I'm going to name her Brighid after me mother, Bridget.

[whirlwitch]

Very lovely! Beannachd Leis!

[sorcress18]

Your pronounciation is good. :).....I love that song! :)

[drock272]

A Bhrid, ár gcroí, an-gheal Bheanríon;

lo de thoil é beannachta sinn.

Is sinn bhur leanaí, is tu ár mamaí;

bí ag isteacht dúinn mar sin.

Is tu an coire, anois inár doire*;

a Bhean-Feasa tinfím orainn.

A thine ghrá, a thine bheatha;

lo de thoil é ag teacht Bhrid dúinn!

[drock272]

It made me cry.

There was a woman named Bridgett that I loved, Now all I have are the memories of the very brief time we shared.

[Starwindfey]

Hi from a fellow O'Brien, Awesome Job.

[pongoid]

Well done.

[animalactivist]

Aven...I hope you never apologize again for your heartfelt, gorgeous rendition of this beautiful song by IB. I will carry the sound of your voice with me into ceremony this weekend here in Canada as the green lady stirs beneath our feet , guiding us joyfully home once again to her Holy Well and Sacred Flame. Blessed Be!

[EvilSeedlet]

I've been saying your name wrong for a long time u_u but the singing was beautiful!

[BrodEirennach90]

Nice job, you did better then you thought!

[wierdkid08]

I want to learn Irish (Gaelic) because I have traces of an Irish background and it sounds like a wonderful language and I don't know I like it I guess. Any ways, you did an amazing job!

[bobbie9093]

i also have an irish background. it was absolutely awesome. u have a real talent 4 singing.=)

[gemman1]

Very good

[anitac1952]

You did a beautiful job, thanks. I love this song.

[fiacharrey]

Please do more! This was so beautiful! I just did some vids about music in ritual and this one was suggested by YT as being related. I don't think I would have ever found it otherwise, but I'm glad I did.

[backpacc]

hey do you know where I can find this on tape or what the gaelic name is for this? I want to sing it lol

[1Dea1th]

anyway you can find like mp3 samples of his music. i wanna see if i like it

[MaceGill]

Next time you see Isaac, ask him to teach you his "Goddamn Drums" chant, its a riot ;) (though not as beautiful as your rendition of this tune)

[MisterTreesong]

Thank you for sharing! I only know a little bit of Irish but it sounded lovely to me. Your voice is beautiful and surely a joy to Brighid's ears.

[ealaban]

Ealasaid!!! very impressive. your pronunciation shows that you didn't just go into it cold. you have a good feel for lenition. Brighid and Isaac both have much to be proud of, as do you yourself. Thank you for posting this. i could follow what you were saying, even without the lyrics. 'S matha sinn gu leor! Keep up the good work, Suas leis a Ghaelig!!!

Slainte,

[avadhani]

An exotic tongue. Very beautifully sung. I don't speak Gaelic... so more power to me!!

[ibonewits]

I have no idea why my comment was posted under someone else's name. Must be my son Arthur's account?!? I'm certainly not ThelmaAndLouise!

Isaac

[pansgrove]

Nobody's voice could EVER, EVER, EVER be better than yours, Isaac!!!! Ever!!!

*Hugs!

[ThelemaAndLouise]

Thanks, Avens! I'm really flattered that you chose to record part of my song. Your voice is certainly sweeter than mine!

*hugs* Isaac

[DruidTao]

Delightful! Please do make more, Avens!

Dia Dhuit! Tá agam grá dhuit! =] Bhi sé go hiontach!! Tá sí foirfe,lol. Slán

[aonarach]

Thank you. I got the first half of what you said, but I don't understand the second - I barely speak it, my mother's the Gaelic teacher. :)

[aonarach]

My mother translated it for me.

Thank you!
