the wolftones Ta Na La

[Cathain78]

As a learner of the language, can anyone explain why it is "Ta NA La"?

I would have thought "it is the day" would be "Ta AN La"

I have lost my natural language, but now I can understand my 18 month old grandbaby boy, he speaks Irish fluently, ha ha.

I hardly closed my eyes last night My heart it nearly stopped its beating for the row downstairs went on till light with my daughter and her beau repeating CHORUS Tis the day Tis not the day Tis the day into the morning Tis not the day my maiden gay for the moon on high it scorns the dawning Get up oh man of the house get up get up and put on your britches the partys swinging give us a sup well reward you with plenty riches
