[Rosekate68]

Is iontach an t-amhrán seo....agus is sár amhránaí agus Ceoltóir í Mairéad1!

[Pictor100]

This song is wonderful. It never fails to make the Celtic blood in me flow; it really puts me in touch with my Scottish and Irish ancestral roots. Thanks for posting this.

[penmumble]

D'fhoglaim mé and t-amhrán seo i rang a sé agus bhí mé i ngrá leis!! bhí an rang go léir i ngrá leis :D 

[Pictor100]

Very nice. For some reason it reminds me somewhat of Dulaman, which is another one of their great songs.

[SELFproclaimedVIRGIN]

I LOVE Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh FROM Donegal

1st verse The nobility was plentiful, And ordinary folk from Scotland, The school master and the minister - With the warrior McAuley there. chorus t was Donal, it was Donal, It was Donal made the wedding, It was Donal and Morag that made a famous wedding. 2nd verse The meat of hens and geese there were, With a dozen cormorants and more, Of all the foods on offer there. The tender chicken they did prefer.

I love this song. I'm sure this is one of the greatest and sweetest songs in the world.

Actually I have once sung this lovely masterpiece together with Síle Denvir of Liadan

and Cathy Jordan of Dervish when they were not on the stage. Altan is greater than

Felix or Wag...

[caimanobrethren]

perhaps my favorite song of all time. thank you for sharing!!! Now I just need to find the chord progression

Thar bharr!!

Leagan iontach.

[ZombieJezus]

Bhi 'n di go fial 's fairsing ann,

Bhi brannda is fion na Spainne ann,

Bhi poitin stil is mead le mil,

Bhi beoir is leann na h-Eireann.

[MotherShrimp]

beautiful song, Beautiful cd... would love to have English translations 8))

[69dranreb]

@MotherShrimp This song is taken from Altan's album called 'Harvest Storm' issued by Green Linnet Records in 1992 [GLCD 1117]. The song was originally from Rathlin Island, off the coast of County Antrim, in Northern Ireland. Only two verses of the song had survived because the Gaelic language (Gaelge) was dying out at the time when the song was collected. (Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh's father (Mairead Mooney is a transliteration of her name in English) wrote another two verses in the same style.

This album brings me back to my childhood. Thanks uploader!

[whizbang47]

I heard this on Keil Na Gael and have been trying to find it for 6 months. Does Altan have this on another CD with more voices singing the choruses? This seems shortened and soft. But I do go for it!

[droachnola]

I stumbled upon this album many years ago and immediately fell in love with Altan. This song in particular speaks to the Irish soul like no other.

[Sumer61]

I love this, so primal and pagan. I love my celtic roots!!

[schwarzfalk]

what language is this? (sounds like from a Tolkien novel :-)

[popeye1250]

@schwarzfalk  LOL, it's Irish.

[05104658]

@schwarzfalk  gaeilge = gaelic = gaellisch

[Sportymike]

@schwarzfalk It's the Irish language....

[teslagirl1]

@schwarzfalk Gaelic. Irish--Scots sounds similar but there are differences. Manx as well. It is a language of poets, passionate and subtle. There are any number of sites if you'd like to begin learning it and classes in most cities which have deep Irish roots.

[dwmitch]

@schwarzfalk There's a common misconception that Tolkien created the elven and dwarvish languages. Admittedly I haven't read any Tolkien, but when I was using the name "Feohdys" on a message board a member asked me if it was a dwarvish word.

He had the meaning right, but the origin was wrong. It does indeed mean nausea; abomination, but it's Manx. The elven and dwarvish languages seem to be heavily derived from the Celtic languages.

[eduitauz]

hermosa canción tambien tengo el disco...........

[branmcduir]

I just love it!

[jeanpierregilissen]

gaelic is a nice language really

[LPORanger]

[Revion24]

Thanks for uploading this, I've been looking for it...

[OfGreatLakes]

Same here! I have it on Altan's excellent Harvest Storm album, which is where I think this recording was first released (correct me if I'm wrong).

[Leodhais]
