Beautiful, tá sé go hálainn!! :-) One question.. What are the chords of the left hand? I need to know them for playing this tune in Irish class.. I found some chords, but yours are more beautiful! ^_^
We (ourselves) brought summer with us. It's the traditional song for booleying - the practice of transhumance, when the young girls and boys brought the cattle up to the sweet mountain pastures in early summer and camped out in quickly-made bothies, singing and dancing by campfires and generally having a good time.
This was the song sung to greet Elizabeth Stuart's representative when he came to Ireland in the 16th century.
Thank you. The tune itself suggests that the lyrics just HAVE to be beautiful too. I would be very interested to hear them if you have them. It adds dynamics to playing it if you can incorporate the words and sentiment behind them.
There is a collection of Gaelic songs called" Singing Irish Gaelic" by Mary McLaughlin. Included are sheets and other things. I don´t know the other songs but surely there are some more very beautiful ones included. Take care mate and thank you for the music. Thanks for your help in finding a harp since Germans are not known as passionated harp players and it´s difficult to find a shop selling harps around here at all. Thanks a lot!!!

A VERY rough translation: "We have brought the summer with us." Or something close to that anyway. My command of the language is not where it ought to be, I'm afraid. Gabh mo leithsceal.
Beautifully played. Lovely!

samhradh means "summer" and it also means "summer garland of mayflowers", so the title of the song has 2 meanings:
"We have brought the summer with us"
or
"We have brought the garland of mayflowers with us"
