[BlindObedienceBrutal]

First heard this 20 years ago, and it's still one of the prettiest songs I've ever heard. And thanks for the lyrics in Irish — spelled properly too I might add...

[torven137]

like rain in spring - heavy raindrops, spicy air.

[BAC1954]

Gee do you remember all that hair way back then, ceol iontach deas mar sin fein.

[ThePaniania]

[ABOM420]

@BAC1954

Germanic tribes fought by Cryxsis and his Celtic Warrior armies as they paid back Rome for all its done to the Gaulish and Celtic empire

you should be proud regardless.

only people who dont have Celtic blood or have helped the Celts are everyone in Asia or Russia

@FantasyBookWriter I'm from Waterford, Ireland but I live in America and Germanic neo-folk like Waldteufel makes me feel the same way about your heritage :)

[thrainful]

[LaughatNAZIs]

@thrainful

Enchanting is the word. I adore them too.

[seantaipei]

Go raibh maith agat.

[liamcrouse]

tapadh leibh airson na faclan sìos na dealbhan, feuchaidh mise Gaeilge a dh'ionnsachadh agus tha seo math airson sin

[Kamisamadesu1]

Do you ever think Eithne Patricia Ní Bhraonáin will do more with the rest of her family...or is she gonna stick with the New Age stuff???

Éirigh Suas a Stóirín (Gaelic) = Rise Up My Darling (English)

[BoudiccaBlanc]

Rise Up My Darling

If you're not up already

Open the door

let me into the house

There's a bottle beside me

That'll give a drink to the woman of the house

And I hope you don't

Refuse me your daughter

[BoudiccaBlanc]

In the glens of the lonely wood

I am weak and sad

From Sunday to Sunday

As I spend my life

I look every evening to see

Who would walk on the road or come to the house

And there's no one on the great earth

Who would come and lift my heart

[BoudiccaBlanc]

Isn't it great for the birds

That rise up every morning

And roost with each other

On the same bush or spray

But that's not how it is

For both me and my true-love

For it's far from each other

That we rise every day

[BoudiccaBlanc]

(The Following partial verse is given...)

I send my curse

On the young women __

___ ___

(That's all there is, each line of this verse is represented by two lines--BoudiccaB.)

DOES ANYBODY KNOW ABOUT THIS FOLLOWING VERSE (and perhaps) OTHERS ???

[deathtouch100]

hey Germanophile, correct me if i am wrong, but I thought that at one time all inhabitants from Ireland, Scotland and wales were descended from the English. Oh and the Austrailains minus the aboriganies were English prisoners brought there. Eduacte me if I am wrong. The accents are similar, maybe even New Zelanders? I know the English Colony at one time was the most powerful.

[rabidbunnyllama]

not really. celts were the natives of the british islands, as in they were there before the english. the anglo-saxons (or english or whtaever you want to call them) came to the british isles from northern germany around the 5th century and killed/mixed with the native celts. therefore it is fair to call people like the irish, welsh, etc indigenous to the isles

[johnpaulmeehan]

cracker song beautiful.

[cpenilla81]

Though "cracker" may refer to white people as white people - the many primarily Euro peoples who through colonialism, white supremacy, migration & assimilation formed something of a mono culture, "cracker" may not be so appropriate for pale people like the Irish who here share with you a piece of their indigenous culture. Instead of cracker --which just says "white" -- how 'bout mic or paddy, or maybe even Irish or Gaelach! baile o dhia ort!

[CelticLittleHawk]

Great vid.Thank God for the lyrics as well as mo Gaeilge is not nearly good enough to learn it with out em.Beautiful song regardless.

[GERMANOPHILE]

Clanad= beautiful, though I am English, sometimes I wish I was Irish, cos they are such a beautiful culture, indeed I believe my ancestors may be Irish! and proud of that I would be!

[Steph9737]

such a beautiful song, such a shame that here in Panama i can't find gaelic classes obviously :( i guess this is a funny song like Buchail on Eirne, but even when they are singing something crude it sounds beautiful, wish i could learn irish, i wouldlike to write a few songs, well, lo ve from Panama, Ireland forever... Eireann gobraugh?

[PhalainaBelgium]

Very pure voice of Mairead Brennan with typical Clannad background vocals at the end !! Lovely !! Phalaïna

[SockBoy65]

Love their music :) My Irish is so rusty it's not funny. A beautiful language. I'm glad it's making a come back.

[thessalonian71]

Huehm... it's not that sweet a song actually, when you know the words. The first verse is basically, "get up love, there's a bottle on me for the woman of the house, and I hope you'll not refuse me your daughter!" lol

Sorry... I shouldn't laugh, but it's very funny how something so crude can sound beautiful in Irish!

[irishoforiel]

Beautiful song. I have this on CD.

[toskup]

are there any on-line courses of Gaelic? I would like to know what the Irish are singing about. The music is fantastic ...... but the words? I have no idea.

[Astuga]

There is some basic gaelic online material.

And you easily can find a transcript by entering the song title into google. ;)

"Éirigh Suas a Stóirín"

[liamui]

better than wat bitter stuff u listen to

[shomnec]

I know, you could do so much better. You're like God.

[pester999]

Brilliant, beautiful!

[dibban]

Really beautiful! What does it mean? "Eirigh Suas A Stoirin"? Anyone who knows?

[TomMcCool5]

Get up (or arise) my little darling,

[dibban]

OK, I see, Thanks!

[jeskehendriks]

I like clannad

and I really love this song =)

I can almost sing along xD

[Balor1]

New age synthy stuff? Clannad had an etheral sound all right, but they pre-dated new age. A lot of it imitates them. It is unfortunate that even Clannad was infected by the fad. I view synthy stuff mostly as musical mascara for performers who have no real talent. I think Clannad developed their sound organically, but adopted synthy stuff as an adaptation to what was currently in vogue. It cheapened their music in my opinion.

[RunrigFan]

but it has to be said, if wasn't for the new age, synthy stuff, clannad wouldn't be where they are now.

I had clannad 1 as a present so going to work upwards :)

[Bowietastic]

I recently saw Clannad live, they were really good, but I much prefer more traditional songs like this, not overly elaborate, I must say i'm not a fan of the synthy, new agey stuff!

[RobL2756]

I understand the attempt to make the Classic/Trad tunes accessible to a new generation, etc. But traditional acoustic instrumentation makes these songs live in my opinion, which is only an opinion. Sometimes I wish "new generations" could be more respectful of tradition.

[Lunoma]

IS BREA LIOM CLANNAD!!! :D xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[GreenKab]

thanks a million for putting this up, wonderful music

cheers

[nighthawk006]

Another stunner!
