[Gawaine687]

it's sad that Gaelic is a dwindling language. It's so beautiful, especially when Clannad weaves it with their music.

[taristeach2]

@Gawaine687 Gaelic is not dwindling my friend!

[Gawaine687]

@taristeach2 well not many people speak it. Hardly anyone teaches it here in america, and it was def dwindling when clannad broke onto the scene; people didnt like hearing some famous songs sung in that language. i would think only some in ireland, hopefully more, speak it, and a variation of it in scotland. but that isnt alot, esp compared to other languages that are spoken around the world.

[xXJax7Xx]

is brea liom nil sen na la

[stonesculptureman]

Well i used to listen to this perhaps 25 years ago or so and just remembered it, i was expecting the song to be a bit of a let down now (as is usually the case) but WOW this is still so good.

[Dou8me]

I LOVE CLANNAD!*-*

The version by Celtic Woman is blasphem, compared to THIS.

[dagnab1]

got to love this track, Man i love my celtic tribes

[ddm1706]

it sounds like elvish...

[cheypie18]

an bhuil cead agum dul amach maise de bhuile? love it anyway:D!!

[hEireannSeanan]

BTW Beirbuadh it's "Cad atá sé faoi gach?" to be sure lmao!

[hEireannSeanan]

A amhránaíocht ar an anam!!!

[beirbuadh]

Whats it all about?! Cad é a bfhuil sé fá dtaobh de?

Its actually about a great night out - a session that goes on till dawn. Its not night, its not morning, the high light that would be in the moon ( or faded light of dawn) roughly. You know those nights where you dont know wheather its day or night! Ciarán told me that.

[kaemeleon]

IRISH SOUND ALOT BETTER THEN ENGLISH CURSE THE ENGLISH.

[gamegod21]

I don't speak Irish but after hearing this i wish i did

[SaoirsesAnaAccount]

wow pretty different to the version I learned!

[vladando]

Brilliant song! Gaelic is the most beautiful language I have ever heard! Greetings from Russia!

[Tadhg64]

This is basicly the Gaeilige version of the Wild Rover.

[lindylola48]

Brilliant song, one of their best! Clannad are so good

[sienieno]

@lindylola48

So schön, so beautiful, already 27 years ago I saw them life in Bremen in Germany. i love this song though i don't understand the lyrics

[sienieno]

@lindylola48this song was already 27 years ago my favorite

[shaeso]

Is that Moay singing at the beginning or was it Baba (the mother)?

[gilesderoet]

@shaeso it's Moya

[mike666nz]

Wish I knew how to speak my ancestral lingo-my g g gfather was fluent-he emigrated to NZ in 1874 aged 15 and didnt know how to speak english at all.He learnt though and how to read and write.Irish should be made compulsory if it isnt in Ireland already.I have loved Clannad since I first heard them aged 14-I love the electric double bass-they are such good musicians on top of Maires vocals, which are angelic

[woodkerne]

@mike666nz Down in the Irish Free State it is still a statuatory requirement to have attained fluency in the Gaelic if you want any civil service job!

[mike666nz]

@woodkerne wow!Of course I didnt know that.It is good that people learn their language, but of course English is the world lingua Franca and of the most practical use.I think it is discriminatory to rule someone out from a job just because they dont or cant speak Irish.If I tried to learn it even with a teacher at my age it would take years.I dont think any language should be imposed on people as that is not choice

[mike666nz]

@woodkerne -It is a bit cheeky that it is a prerequisite as it should , of course, be on merit.Some Maoris here want their language imposed as compulsory at school- but they themselves are not learning it, though they get shitloads of taxpayer handouts(along with handouts for so many things it isnt funny!).It is the insidious virus and plague of political correctness

[1x1chrissy]

Great song, I also like the version of celtic woman

[locomotive1804]

I prefer the live version to this, released on their 1978 album Clannad in Concert, which was made during their Swiss tour of that year.

[soulmusicmad]

AyeYirma..On the contrary the Irish Language is NOT one of the most difficult to learn and is not Dying out!! There are now hundreds of Irish speking schools axross Ireland where the young ones are taught and indeed have to conduct their lessons in Irish only...More and more people have opted for this option when their children start school...this was not an option when i was at school,irish language was one for hour a day.!!!

[MrKnockna]

@soulmusicmad I have sent an email to Pat Carey TD asking him to establish a number of Gaelcreche . The idea is to teach them young and they have it for life. I got this idea because my daughter moved to France 18 months ago and her 2 children went to creche and they are now fluent in french. Let me know what you think and perhaps you will support it.

[pah550]

@MrKnockna your grandchildren became fluent in french in 18 months? love to know how they did that. how do u learn fluent french in a creche.

[MrKnockna]

@pah550 Young children see no difficulty learning a language unlike adults , they just get on with it and dont even think about it . They are now going to school and are just as fluent in french as the french students .I was listening to a radio programme where an ambassador was being interviewed and he said he was moved 5 times during his career and said his children could speak 5 languages as a result . Does that answer your question .

[tgm250]

fair play a chlannad tá siobh iontach! Eireann abú

[Coletta100]

I love it ! Thumbs up ! :-)

[schoenesmaedchen]

i wish i could learn irish. it sounds so cool but the spelling doesn't make sense with how it's said!!! lol it reminds me a bit of French in that way ;-P

[AyeYirMa]

plenty of languages don't make sense and the fact that irish is so non-phonetic is a testament to it's age (:

it goes back i believe 4,000BC. one of the oldest and most difficult languages.

unfortunately it's slowly dying out :(

[larosenoire1]

If you mean Gaelic. Yeah very true. Very lovely language.

[zlessly]

its on a revival dood, soon(hopfully) all irish in Eire will learn

[wolfbrother0]

Its that way with languages that have not come from greek and latin, at least that what I think i'v only learn a bit of spanich and japanese

[LadyMacalla]

Ah is cuimhin liom an lá a d'fhoghlaim muid an t-amhrán seo i gColaiste Choilmcille i nDún Luiche ocht mbliain ó shin, an chéad amhrán a d'fhoghlaim mé as Gaeilge (seachas Baidín Fheilimí ar ndóigh!)......tá Clannad rud beag níos fearr silím!

[that70scientist]

@nallyterrace Haa, foghlaimíonn gach duine Baidín Fheilimí, ceapaim!

[markmcmahon94]

d'fhoghlaim mé an t-amhrán seo i gColaiste Ariainn Mhóir i gContae Dún na nGall. is aoibhinn liom é sin agus gach amhrain eile a d'fhoghlaim mé ann co shuil le Teir Abhaile Riu(eist le sé, ta sé go h-iontach)

[seaviber]

Jej głos działa na mnie jak narkotyk, fan z Gdańska

[mjfindlay1968]
