Dúlamán - Altan

[brynhildetheviking]

My nana sang this song when she cooked.

[tarabn]

Dulaman means seaweed, is about two seaweed collectors, several explanations, one is on wikipedia. Not unusual for folk songs to have different musical settings. if you are interested in learning irish, there are classes in many parts of US. search the web, or checl ccenorthamerica.ord, or daltai.com

Why is "Doraemon theme song" in the suggestions list? XD

[akissy]

I got a translation from google translate. If anybody cares to put it right I'll leave it here, cause I have NO idea what the song is about so I dunno how to correct them sentences XD

A gentle daughter, so come the wooing men

Gentle mother, put the wheels in motion I

From the yellow cliff, Irish seaweed

Seaweed from the ocean, is the best in Ireland

A double black legs on the seaweed

There are two blunt ears on the Irish seawee

Go to Dore with the Irish seaweed

[akissy]

@akissy The buying expensive shoes on the seaweed

Black shoes on the seaweed

Beret and trousers are the seaweed

Since the cliff, seaweed Seaweed

'S'S story she told me, her head was combed

What the country gave you? says the Irish seaweed

At courting with your daughter, "says the stately

Oh where are you my daughter, says the Irish seaweed

Well, I'd take her, "says the stately

THIS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!



[100DiddlySquatxx]

The first time I heard this song was with Celtic Women, and I have never heard this version before. Because I'm so used to Meav singing it differently, I like this better because it's so new to me.

[juggalo1133]

i like this version but i prefer the celtic woman version better performed by meave

[Bixbychris]

no it is irish for this land

[FennecFox01]

DULAMAN IS IRISH FOLK SONG GOOOOOOO IRIsH

[tcoudi]

Can someone explain me existence of two version of this song with completely different melodie.Thanks

[ronnygupte]

i hope more ppl see this / hear this.

Bloody Shantanu Moitraaa...

[lilyballerina]

I have always absolutely LOVED Altan!! My dad was the one who introduced me to Celtic music from the time I was about 7 years old...Altan and Riverdance were my first exposures to it. Now I am almost 21 and I am still hooked! Celtic music will forever be my favorite :-)

[XenoGlossoFila]

@lilyballerina u r not alone

[Kaitipoo]

This group is super cool in concert

[StaraptorEmpoleon]

1 dislike? What an idiot! This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard! I first heard it on Endless Ocean 2. :D

[AmandaElizeLeisser]

@StaraptorEmpoleon Me too,I loved it.Heard it when i was diving in Amasonas.

[luna4ever36]

Lovely song! I heard it first from Celtic woman. Absolutely love Celtic culture, its fascinating, so different from england, yet right beside it.

[odinfromcentr2]

It's music like this that makes me wish I knew the Celtic languages.

[TheSandsie13]

nice to hear the language with out all the over production of clannad and enya.

[SufferingD]

the whole cd is great to listen to before i hit the rack, it relaxes me so much.

[belgarion140185]

J'aime cette chanson!

[Kaitipoo]

Love, Love, love this song and always will.

[SatoshiHaruko]

This is one of those songs that just makes me proud to be of Irish/Scottish decsent. Best of both worlds. Irish Mocksey(probably misspelled, sorry) and the Scottish love of drinking.....Both can be bad in the wrong situation. Trust me. haha

[StaraptorEmpoleon]

@SatoshiHaruko: Me too! I don't want to see this beautiful language to become extinct. If it does, I'll be devastated! It's my favourite language!

[starfire428]

This is also an irish drinking song. They create a coctail type drink and pour it into small glasses or one large glass for each person, and you take a "shot" everytime she says Dulaman, me and my husband have played this game *^.^* She says Dulaman 35 times in this song...... i got to the 21st shot and just couldnt go anymore haha... was too fast XD But so fun, and this song is BEAUTIFUL.

[luna4ever36]

@starfire428 wow sounds like heaps of fun.=D So will they play this at the local pubs in Ireland?

[LilMelbell9]

We listened to this EXACT song in music class. I like it better then the live version :)

[Cara2hip14]

OMG I heard this in my music class today!

[phillinrifle]

this song is real cool... i love it.. i have no celtic origin or even white european at that matter.. but this gaelic language stirrs something up deep inside me.. like makes me wanna dance.. :)

[phillinrifle]

DAMN I LOVE THIS SONG.. AND IM NOT IRISH OR EVEN EUROPEAN... :) GOOD STUFF.. but the celtic culture and times appeal to me!! im black and native american. but if i was european id be irish...

[luna4ever36]

@phillinrifle hehe I'm not white either, I'm of indian origin, and the traditional hymms in our language sounds surprisngly similar to this, its pretty cool.=D

[Luckyburnin]

Dulaman means seaweed

[spurgeonm1]

@Luckyburnin dulaman tranlates to woman

[AzrealShadow]

@spurgeonm1 I thought that was Ban or Bhan.

[spurgeonm1]

@AzrealShadow Ban and Bhan are plural...at least according to google translate and i don't know how accurate that really is

[AzrealShadow]

@spurgeonm1 Ta an bhan should be a woman and Ta na Ma'na (not sure about where to put the thing and please forgive my butchery of spelling) should be women. However I've only been speakign the basics for about 8-10 months becuase I'm lazy so any advice would be welcomed. Still Rosetta Stone is well worth the money. In a contextually hilarious but literaly incorrect statement, Ta na calini ag ol ouisca beatha! ROFL (please ignore spelling and grammer)

[North1418]

Any one can explain to me What is Dulman mean.....thanks

[Kelticviking]
