[DofAngelFire]

What is the name of this song, is it recorded? does anyone have the lyrics of it?

[micaxification]

soooooooooooo beautiful

[ralfemmelius]

Here voice is in a very good condition, trained very hard. Even the beaty rest of instruments glimmers in the heart of this incredible music band.

Regards!

[enyaonlyif]

love celtic music, and i love this song!

[kofemord]

wich is the language that altan sing??

[Donegal]

@kofemord

It's irish gaelic

[papawerebear65]

@thecrusades2 Show me your studies from reputable sources. Until then, you're word is as much mythology as you claim mine to be.

[AhleKashanam]

what does the Altan mean? is it Celtic? 

[Donegal]

@AhleKashanam

It's a lake in Ireland,in county Donegal

[DofAngelFire]

@AhleKashanam it also means sunset

[Rampant7990]

@thecrusades2 I am happy to know this , but boy will this complicate it for some out there ;o) So many already get lost at trying to understand where or who the Scotti tribes came from. Glad to know this. I love doing research. Let me know your source if you feel like it. The source I listed only goes so deep without purchasing a book I believe.

Thank you very much!

[Rampant7990]

@thecrusades2 The only Scottish (geographically speaking)who were Irish are ones who moved there. The Picts were there first, as early as the 2nd century AD. Archaeologists have established the history very clearly. Some who have traced their ancestry to the original Picts are always going to object to those claiming Scottish are/were all Irish that just moved there, since it's technically untrue. But not all Pict decent either. Check archeology org "Scotland's Irish Origins ". 5% a bit low.

Cití Na gCumann - Verse 1

Is a Chití na gcumann ná séan mé

Siúil feasta 'gus éalaigh liom

I ngleanntáin coilleadh nó sliabh' amuigh

Nó sealad faoi bhláth na gcrann

Do phósfainn i gan fhios don tsaol thú

'S don tsagart dá mh'fhéidir liom

'S muna bhfaighfear sinn cangailt' in Éirinn

Ó racham araon anonn.

[zwierzchnik]

Cití Na gCumann - Verse 2 Is do thángas an baile seo 'réir

Is bhí se 'gam déanach go leor'

Smé ar intin nan margadh a dhé anamh

'S nach scarfainn léi féin go deo

Níor tháinig a Daidí chun réitigh

Cár mhiste domh é na dhóibh?

Bheirim slán is beannacht as mo ghaolta

'S ní chas faidh mé fhéin go deo.

[zwierzchnik]

Cití Na gCumann - Verse 3 Níor cuireadh romham cuireadh na fáilte

Ó thángas an tsráid seo thíos

On uair a d'airigh mo ghrá geal

Is go dtugas mo lámh do mhnaoi

Is dóigh leo go bhfuil mise pósta

Is dar ndóigh, más dóigh, ní fíor

Dar anleabhar seo 'ta thíos i mo phóca

'S ag mealladh ban óg a bhíos.

Beautyful voice...

[weirdcollegegirl]

For anyone who enjoys this song: William Coulter did a lovely instrumental version on his cd "celtic sessions".

[JaCzolg]

Listen " Ta me mo shui"

[daomingjin]

i still never have figured out Irish gaelic spellings!

hehe....up Scots gaelic :D

[temanatahiti]

??! Where did scots Gaelic come from??!

[strengthnfaith]

SCOTLAND

[temanatahiti]

Ok I should have worded that question a little better... what I wanted to put across was that the Gaelic the Scots spoke came from Irish Gealic.

[papawerebear65]

There are two branches of Celtic language. Brythonic (Welsh, Breton and Cornish) and Goidelic (Irish, Scottish and the extinct Manx). Many centuries ago, Scotland was colonized by people from Ireland who spoke Gaelic. Scottish and Irish are close enough even now that you can make out what someone is saying in Scottish Gaelic if you speak Irish Gaelic. There are differences, of course, but you get the general idea of what is being said.

[BAC1954]

Manx is alive and well coming on there is a kindergarten that uses Manx for toys , so maybe not like the DODO.

Take care .

[Pitfossil]

Manx is very much alive. B&B during The Race weekend - I don´t understand one word the landlady says, but it makes you feel at home.

[boberbobofbobland]

Ireland technically, The Scottish actually used to be Irish, but they moved.

[Rampant7990]

@boberbobofbobland The only Scottish (geographically speaking)who used to be Irish are the ones who moved there. The Picts wre there first, at least as early as the 2nd century AD. Archaeologists have established the history of this very clearly. I imagine some who have traced their ancestry to the original Picts are always going to object to those claiming Scottish are/were all Irish that just moved there, since it's technically untrue. Check archeology org "Scotland's Irish Origins ".

[IntuneDan]

Is this the singer who performed Barbara Allen with Dolly Parton on her album Heartsongs ?

[D2Parton]

Mmm I think so - she definitely sang the Irish verse in In the Sweet By and By on her Little Sparrow album.

[OoooGIMME]

Does anyone know, if there's a vid for a song called oh connemara(i think)on youtube?

Please help!
