[irishgeal1]

for folk classics the dubliners win hands down.

[InfraSensei]

[rugby103]

[irishgeal1]

i bet they had a pint bet on this, but they both won.

[IndieAlpaca]

[IndieAlpaca]

"why spend your leisure bereft of pleasure? amassin' treasure, why scrape n save? why look so canny at every penny? you'll take no money within the grave..." :)

[Devmeister91]

that one individual isn't worth the food they feed them. Millions dying and the feller comes on to dislike two of the mightiest men to live

[irkofan]

My sentiments are the same as joeygsmom. This kind of music just slips through the cracks for us Americans, and we end up with all the mainstream crap, which is so . . . soulless. This is wonderful. Thanks for uploading.

[MrWillem10]

thanks, kellyonell, this song is fantastic, but i´m searching for another gaelic song (probably sung by luke) but i don´t remember the title. Are you able to help me?

[kellyoneill]

@MrWillem10 Do you know any of the lyrics at all?

[Fiachraomuin]

@kellyoneill Could i get them lyrics cheer Kelly!

[nipplebrady1988]

@MrWillem10 probbly peggy lettermor

[sealt160n]

go híontach! Kelly, mar is gnáth (Wonderful stuff, Kelly, as usual)

strasheep - the original song in Gaelic was written by a Mayoman - Risteard Bairéad - in the 18th century, I think. Ciarán probably pronounces Munster Irish style alright - as it was/is the type of Irish most commonly taught to us in school. He having been a more assiduous scholar than most of the rest of us... Hope he's teaching the words to them up there after all he sufferred don here near the end..

[beckyboo1001]

This is our set song for music, I'm happy this song is still known by the yourth today.

I already kew it, I grew up with The Dubliners.

[unlolas]

[IndieWalrus]

[Cally200233]

[PaulSuedeTwin]

I don#t think i'll ever stop listening to this

[Cally200233]

Superb

[gnss4evr]

thanks for all these luke kelly songs. just awesome

[conchubhar1]

luke sings it

then ciarán sings a version of the verse in irish - its essentially the same meaning - as close a translation i spose with rhyming and naturlness in it

[conchubhar1]

s iomaí slí sin do bhíos ag daoine

Ag cruinniú píosaí is ag déanamh stóir,

'S a laghad a smaoiníos ar ghiorra a tsaoil seo,

Go mbeidh siad sínte faoi leac go fóill.

Más tiarna tíre, diúc no rí thú,

Ní rachaidh pingin leat s tú dul faoin bhfód,

Mar sin is dá bhrí sin, níl beart níos críonna

Ná bheith go síoraí ag cur preab san ól.

[RobinTheSWED]

what does Preab san ol means?

[thefurnacedude]

Another Round!

[maroleary]

More Guinnesssssssss.

[joeygsmom]

Im American, we dont hear much of this over here, but I love it! Kellyoneill youve made me a fan for life with your awesome recordings, bless you girl

[kellyoneill]

Thanking you :)

[fearghus66]

yep tis ulster irish

[THUMBZY89]

can anyone tell me what it all means?

[pobg]

the first verse means live now and dont waist time worrying about money you cant take money to the grave so lets have anoter round the second means work to live dont live to workthe third says dont worry about politics lets have another round and the last verse is about a man that with money and no happyness so why spend yer liesure bereft of plesure glasses together another round

[kelkel14311]

Luke Kelly says it in english and then that Ciaron lad says it in irish??

[davereilly1992]

Bsically it's an irish drinking song. It's saying to drink up cos life is too short and we'll be dead soon enough (in a nutshell)

[pobg]

ceart go laor

[Soldierside619]

i love this song. too bad these are the two dubliners that unfortunately passed on. :( they were my favorite members along with Ronnie Drew

[strasheep]

sounds to me like west kerry (munster) irish

[kellyoneill]

Luke? no luke was 100% Dub

[strasheep]

im talking about the other fellah...Ciaron Bourke.

[kellyoneill]

oh im not sure

[TownCoote]

Aye, could be. He was a Clareman as far as I know. Came up to Dublin to study in UCD, met the natives and the rest is history. Some parts of Clare would speak the Connacht dialect and some the Munster.

[outofyertree]

im studying this song in school

[liddane]

this is like james larkin.

[darrin42]

Yeah its the same tune as James Larkin as well. This is a great Song though lol, have to love Luke!

[charlo71KKY]

class, sheer class, mr bourke could hold his own with the best of them, r.i.p.

[jbreenw]

SAF57, Preab san ól is the Irish for "The swagger of drink", but the essence of the Irish verses is the English translation. Más tír na tíre, diúc nó rí thú ní chuirfear pingin leats'tú dul faoin bhfód is approximated by the English, whereas the last line (ná bheidh go siorraí chur preab san ól) is quite different to the English. btw, is that Ulster Irish he's singing in? I just have Caighdéan Óifigiúil, and its totally lost on me.

[SAF57]

Will someone please tell me what Preab San OL means?

SA - just a stupid Dane......

[kmryan182]

Coolness

[axozp]

they kinda sound alike i think

[kellyoneill]

nah no way!!!

[sweetiepie1313]
