I've NEVER heard this arrangement and LOVE IT wow is this available on any of her albums with the piano? I agree with @faricheng how can you not like this? unless it's for the huge screetch haha NOTHING CAN SCREW UP MOYA not even faulty mics damn it!
Basicly this is a funny song about a man who wants to live his life his way and if you don't like it you can feck off. Several singers from Gaoth Dobhair have recorded it.
That title translation is a line from the Mississippi John Hurt song "No one's business but my own". Maybe this is a cover?? How rad would that be? I have no way of knowing, and it's not that distinctive a thing to say that they might not have just thought of that same line, but it would be pretty rad if they covered John Hurt. I'm just saying, Celtic rendition of old Delta blues?
Hey i thought it was weird too but i bought a tab book by stefan grossman it has john hurts song tabbed and a transcript of grossmann asking hurt about it he said his father used to sing a version when asked was it writen byhis father john hurt replies " no he first heard an immigrant woman sing it she was irish or scottish i can't remember" its in the country blues edition so the two singers maybe as you say singing from the same source but totally diiferent styles.
nice. It doesn't surprise me that the old players like John are deep rooted in trad music, and not just thier genre of music. I love hearing how many different ways people can interpret the same traditional song. A million different ways to do it.
She 's remain amazing.

Verse 4
People say I'm without riches no doubt,
Without goods or clothes or cattle or stock,
If I a happy living in a hovel,
O what is that to anyone else.
If I a happy living in a hovel,
O what is that to anyone else.

Verse 3
If I go for a night-visit and for dancing and sport,
To fairs and races and every gathering of that sort,
If I see happy people and if I'm happy with them,
O what is that to anyone else.

Verse 2
If I go to the leafy woods gathering berries or chestnuts,
Plucking apples from branches or herding cows,
If I stretch out for a while beneath a tree relaxing,
O what is that to anyone else.

Verse 1
I went to the fair and sold my cow
For five pounds of silver and a yellow guinea of gold
If I drink the silver and if I give away the gold
O what is that to anyone else.
If I drink the silver and if I give away the gold
O what is that to anyone else.

The translation I've heard Moya use at her concerts is "It ain't no-one's business but my own" (or something not too far away from it)!!!

I agree with you. Gaeilge is definitely one of the most beautiful språk
hele i verden. Men jeg liker norsk også. Jag vill gärna sjunga norska
visar på bokmår och nynorska...
