liam o maonlai does a nice version

[AyeYirMa]

pronounced oro, a haow, a haow

[AlexVerdonMusic]

y is she pronouncing the ora as sawra?

[withfavabeans]

is this in irish ??



[MarthaH605]

Thank you for the translation!

[Otaku155]

Suas e!

[mhicnanolc]

Iosa Chriosd indeed! Were all Gaels regardless if your from Eire or Alba or other places in the world where we are found... let's not be offended by peoples' ignorance of our culture and language (I consider Gaidhlig and Gaeilge the same langauge with many diaects). Let's learn lessons from our past and work together.

[Frankieireland]

true, in fact amazingly 75% of our vocabularies are the same. I was speaking irish last year in a pub in scotland to a guy who spoke scots gaelic and we had a right laugh slagging eachother. Irish, Scots gaelic and Manx are very very similar whereas Welsh, Bretagne and Cornish are similar. either way we're all celts.

[mhicnanolc]

Thanks Frankie! In the end the most important Gaidhlig expression is the same on both sides of the Irish Sea and back home in Alba Nuadh as well... pog mo thion! ; )

[McAndy89]

@Frankieireland Amen to that brother! :) Alba agus Eireann gu brath!

[mhicnanolc]

@Frankieireland I'm an Anglo-Gaelic-Wampanoag hybrid (a Metis in Canadian jargon) and I try to identify with all three of my roots. That being said I have a slight bias towards my Gaelic roots...

[zhusanna]

thank you for your vision - so it is and Iosa Chriosda has it right - let us all look forward - what is there to gain by doing otherwise - it is good to hear this and thanks for posting

[dosea77]

I think I'm in love.

[sadhbh1234]

[dosea77]

[sadhbh1234]

[psychobollox]

what a singer and what a song!

[Otaku155]

Nice to hear this song in Irish Gaelic

[katekakes]

love it

[mhicnanolc]

Wow! Goose bumps. Gle mhath.

[pigeatinginfidel]

3rd and 4th verses are reversed in the text. They read in the order below, but she sings in the order numbered.

4. Máistir báid mhóir mé a' gabháil ród na Gaillimhe

D'fhliuchfainn naoi bhfód is ní thóigfinn aon fharraige.

3. Máistir báid mhóir go deo ní ghlacfad,

Nuair a fhaigheann siad an chóir 'sé is dóichí nach bhfanann siad.

[skatebop]

They are reversed by the singer.They are correct in the text.

[whizbang47]

The sociology suitably impresses. Me, I go for the singer, the song and the story. Galway fishermen were my family.

[grunge160]

For those that have never seen a Scottish woman, THATS ONE RIGHT THERE.:)

[J2OLDS]

If all Scottish women can sing like that...I'll take one!!!

[grunge160]

Well mostly the village ones can.The highland and lowlanders might.There quite smart It might cost you to have them sing for you.

[grunge160]

Scottish women are smart , unlike most American women.Seriously...

[J2OLDS]

Does the price cost a lifetime and a noisy house full of children? Or is the price a few pennies in a jar that will be gone tomorrow?

[grunge160]

A few hundred dollars in a jar is what the price is I believe. I doubt pennnies are acceptble.

[grunge160]

"lifetime and a noisy house full of children " - That would be an average American womens life who relies on everyone.

The majority of Scottish women know about responsbility.

[J2OLDS]

Raising a family isn't a responsibility? Well, frankly I'm pretty glad my American mother had the smarts to raise 7 kids on her own. I guess the difference is, that in her old age she isn't going to be abandoned and alone, with all of those jars full of pennies. She's got a legacy. I call that smart.

I figure then, Scottish women are a dieing legacy that will be gone in the next generation or so, and all we will have are recordings of their voices. Sad really. No men and no offspring. Sad.

[grunge160]

Raising a famliy is a responsbility but most Americans don't take full responsbility.Yes, but most American women aren't like your mother.Scottish women don't have a dieing legacy , they just don't have time to live out a leagacy with all the shite thats going on in Scotland.But yes they too have a legacy.I'm not saying all American women are like that ,I'm saying most.I live in America and I'm Scottish and I can cleary see the differences between Scottish and American women.

[grunge160]

If I were to be say that all Scottish women want that jar full of pennies instead of that house full of noisy children I would definitly be wrong.My own grandmother had 10 kids and my mum three.Plus this isn't including edinburgh,glasgow and other cities of Scotland.This is highlands,lowlands and my own home Aberdeen.So It goes both ways you see.But since I come from Aberdeen and was raised in the lowlands I have knowledge of the differences between American and Scottish women

[J2OLDS]

Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, Los Angeles, Sanfransisco, Chicago, New York, Honk Kong, Berlin, Delhi, Tokyo, Beijing, etc. All urban cultures... the only difference is the accent. Women pretending to be men, and men pretending to be women, all trying to get the up on the other, and their only source of pride is the cost of rent in their 300sq ft apartment.

The meaning of life, is...Life (children). Urbanity is the absence of culture, there is nothing unique or special about it.

[grunge160]

Nicely put; I couldn't agree more , all in all were all the same but what makes us different is culture ,hertiage and the way we are raised.

[riadach]

You know she's Irish right?

[dcoughlan1975]

actually she is irish .

[maitiudeburca]

Iosa Chriost. It's in Irish. She's Irish. Y'know. Ireland. Ok, when a minor branch of the Ui Neill went from Ireland accross the sea to Dal Riada (as they called it) in the first couple of centuries AD they brought their culture with them. Neither Picts, Angles, Britons or Saxons had culture remotely similar to this. Scotland is called Scotland because 'Scoti' was the latin word for the Irish.

[maitiudeburca]

Ah sorry, but I'm just sick at looking at every video in Irish & people thinking it's Scottish, or worse that our culture all originated in Scotland

[PastryMagician420]

I find that people usually think that everything is Irish. It's only because of St. Pattys Day and the stupidity of the average human.

[maitiudeburca]

Who's Patty? :P

[PastryMagician420]

St. Patrick???

[maitiudeburca]

I meant it's either St. Patrick's Day or Paddy's day as some people abbreviate it. But I knew what you were sayin. Im just bein picky for the sake of argument, forget it.

[PastryMagician420]

I really could care less which way it is. Being a self loving pagan, I don't celebrate the day the Celts lost their identities.

[AyeYirMa]

@PastryMagician420 Paddy's*

[illinois1776]

this is true. i recently finished explaining this to someone.

[shamraig]

Gura mie ayd!

[J2OLDS]

Ohhh my...

[grunge160]

Wow! she is amazing

[sudakin]

Very nice song, I keep hearing it and hearing it. I wish there where good courses and resources to learn gaeilge in my country, but sadly that is not the case. greetings from Ar
