@Roflosic I am sorry but does that mean only people from Italy can use a piano or that a guitar can only be used in spain. Yes, that's what I thought so shush! My mother and grandmother are from Ghaoth Dobhair (Gweedore) and I was sung that song as a baby, so I am sure they didn't use didgeridoo's back then, probably just wanted to jazz the song up! However, I think it sounds better with nothing else but a voice!

what's the didgeridoo sound, an actual didge? A drone is a good thing for Celtic music, but it sounds almost like -- like -- the Irish diaspora Down Under? Nice, in any case
It's a shame that the Catholic Church and the pope essentially sold Ireland down the river all throughout its subjugation by the British. Irish just need to take off the shackles of religion once and for all. I mean, the Church in Rome could've EASILY raised the funds to build at least a navy to fight off the English and save the Irish, but they were either too chicken shit or didn't really care for their own people. All they cared about was telling congregants what to do.
@whoo689 is this really what happened? I had heard about Irish people struggle to get freedom from British, but nowadays it had been destined so. I admire Irish people so much as I admire the Great Britain too for their wicked thinking... thanks for the info there : )
@whoo689 both the French and the Spanish sent fleets in to help the Irish defeat the British but both times storms made the landing a death trap. The Spaniards lost their gun powder in a storm and were massacred at Kinsale. The French lost most of their troops in a storm and were defeated shortly after landing but I forget where.

No republic? I may not be acutually from Ireland, or even 100% irish, but no Ireland would give me a reason to kill myself. To people myself included, Ireland is their life, as well as the catholic religion. Fuck britain, and fuck the anti-irish population of america.
I'm from Ireland, most people here despise the Catholic church, I think you have an outdated stereotype if you think of Ireland as some Catholic stronghold these days...
i wasnt using it as a stereotype i was responding to a comment made about both irish and catholics alike, so i reffered to them both, but thanks for the correction anyway,
If people do go it's mostly Catholic, but nobody I know is religious at all or goes to church, only time they do is for a family event like a christening, wedding etc which is entirely based on tradition rather than faith.
Once the older generations move on it'll be firmly a thing of the past, and not a bad thing either imo
What do you mean there should be no republic? My great great grandparents, who were forced out of their beloved Ireland, by a nasty group of British who were determined to use any method, no matter how terrible, to push them off their land! It took many years, and the loss of half the irish population, but the irish finally did get their well deserved freedom from oppression! I may be an American, but I have not forgotten my ancestors' homeland and the history behind their sudden departure!
@ferretsRus29 God, you sound like a third world immigrant. If you love Ireland so much why are you not there? Do you realise the transformation Ireland is going through due to your Jewish leaders? Ireland will not be the Ireland of your ancestors due to unprecedented levels of third-world immigration. The Irish are too busy reciting their victim stories to have a grip on reality. The English are related on so many levels to the Irish. You'll have Africans soon ruling you foolish Celts.
@csno1 What is your problem? Your victim stories? Up until just a few hundred years ago Irish were denied the rights of average humanity just for being Irish. And it seems you also have a problem with Jews and Africans? History repeats itself because of people who don't learn. The third world immigrants aren't the problem. It's racists and people blind to the truth that cause the problems. All people drink the same water, breathe the same air, and have the same red blood.
@Jmlatmr87 Cats drink the same water; their blood is red; they breathe the same air. Ireland belongs to the Irish: not Africans, not Indians, not Pakistanis, not Chinese - THE IRISH. Take your reductionist, sick, self-loathing, egalitarian religion somewhere else. You people want to melt down everything into an equality of nothingness. The Irish are beautiful, unique and it should remain that way. People like you will be declared mad soon, and should be whipped like the cretins you are.
@csno1 You're not Irish are you? I am. Well yes, Irish culture is beautiful. And it should be preserved. Culture should be preserved. The great mass of humanity is all the same though, we are no different. Blood does not make anyone better than anyone else. The Celtic culture has lasted a long time, I suspect it shall tenaciously hold on for many more eons. A world divided by fear and hate would be a stupid, and miserable place. It'd be a small small world, for small petty people.
@Jmlatmr87 You're wrong. Diversity is beautiful. To have everything reduced to an equality is madness e.g. a mono-cultural brown world. Culture is a result of race. Africans/Asians will not continue Celtic culture in its purity because they simply can't. The world you envision is naive and impossible to achieve. Life is the highest morality. I choose life over peace. Life is hate. I would not be born if my ancestors did not hate the other. Africans and Asians are not Irish, they're not the same.
@csno1 Diversity is beautiful, and that is why we need all the people and cultures in the world. You are however wrong about culture being confined to race, as culture spreads like any idea. And they CAN continue the culture if they so chose. I'd bet you wouldn't want them to though from the way you talk. The World I envision is good and pure, the world you envision is un-ambitious and petty. Hatred can't be appeased by hatred. All men are brothers, when they learn this they do not hate.
@Jmlatmr87 Your belief is a faith system. A secularised Christianity based on the unity of man kind based on some loose abstracts such as brotherhood. When resources diminish, populations grow, we, naturally, form groups and compete. You can't transmit IQ and genius culturally, this is something innate. Africans, for example, will never have a space programme. You can do a bit with culture, but you're born to be what you are. The Irish are more than a culture, they are an ethnicity.
@csno1 You know nothing about me, nor what I believe. It's debatable what IQ really tests, leading theories suggest it's no more than a capacity for memory, not intelligence. There is no guarantee that there will never be a space program in Africa. It's just as unlikely there currently, as a space program in Ireland. So, that means nothing. The nations that have a notable one could be counted on one hand. Culture can be adopted, and transformed. Ethnicity is an abstract.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
There should be no Republic in the Isles. Like in the US here, different states, different people and thinking, even a big civil war, yet still a united country. Catholic scum killing for no good reason and destroying a once proud & regal country. Ruining the economy for so many years as well~
the united states? a country of immigrants. alot of whom are from ireland. 12 percent. catholic scum? i would like you to elaborate on that you stereotyping cunt, with absolutely no prior knowledge of irish history.
Is her pronunciation trustworthy? I'm trying to learn Gaeilge but I live in America so it's difficult. I was hoping to get adjusted to the pronunciation of words so that I could get more out of learning grammar and vocabulary. The problem is, I'm using a pronunciation guide, and what it says she should be singing isn't what it sounds like she's singing... =/
She is a fluent Irish speaker of the Donegal Dialect. Remeber this song was writen by her father and is sang in the Donegal dialect The way it should be sang. So her pernounciation is very trustworthy, depends on which irish dialect you want to learn
Ugh, there are so many sources of information on Gaeilge and barely any say what dialect they're talking about, so I can't really tell the difference. Thank you for telling me what dialect she's singing in though, now I can look it up. =)
There a 4 known dialects, 1)Ulster/Donegal 2) Galway 3) munster 4) Book. There is differnce in pernounciation, spelling and words.
If your seaching on the net or reading books about Gealige then its probably Book Irish your learning. Not spoken widely but accepted more as Gealige. Depends if you are a native speaker or you were taught at school as a second language.
Which one would be considered "Dublin Irish"? I stumbled across a website that had a few lessons and the man that made it said that he spoke Dublin Irish.
"Is pronunciation the only difference between the dialects, or is the actual written language itself part of it?"
Major differences are in pronunciation but there are spelling/word differences too.
As examples "maith" (good) is pronounced like "mah" in the southern dialects but more like "my" in Donegal. In Munster in the south a dog is "madra" and a fox is "sionach" but in Donegal a dog is "madadh" (pron. mahdoo) and a fox is "madadh rua" (red dog). Hope this helps
Yeh luv deh winters ? Yeh feckin' eejit, yeh !! No, I'm only joking, the winters must be quite impressive too. Although you'd have to be a special kind of person to live there all year round.
This is absolutly the most amazing thing I have ever heard.
My Ancestors came over to America from Ireland in the 1850s, And Married no other nationalities, So I'm Irish. One of the places I'm going to visit before I die
@Rousjester Hey same here but my family came here for a short while, They fought in the revolt against the brits. I am proud to be Irish. I love fellow Irish Americans. The ones who actually know where they come from. haha
@Cruithnig And what do you say of Atlantic Canada? The culture over here is mostly Irish, the people are all at least half Irish and the drinking is all Irish!
@NorseWarriorKing Yes a lot of people from Belfast moved to Canada at the start of the Troubles after they were forced out by the IRA. Canada was a popular choice as it was a loyal member of the Commonwealth. I cant say anything about people who where born over here and moved out there but people who are born in America are American, people who are born in Canada are Canadian etc etc. The only two nationalities that dont hold to the land are British and Israeli.
@Cruithnig You're suggesting that only the English supporters are over here. To that I say: POTATO BLIGHT. I think I made my point. And I know my mother considers herself Irish. My father thinks he's italian though, despite not having a single italian relative in the past thousand years. So maybe she's wrong, even though three quarters (low estimate) of her ancestors were Irish. I'm not saying I'm mostly Irish (A mix of that, Scottish (oh wait, the Scots migrated FROM Ireland!), English And
@Cruithnig (Continued) Norse), but this is the closest thing to Ireland outside of Ireland itself. I'll continue to consider myself halfway between Canadian and Irish for as long as I live. I might even move to Ireland and forget the halfway thing.
@Shaneabu I only know a few phrases...but i wish i could more than anything, Im so grateful its being taught now in schools. I would die knowing this language would die soon, but so much now. You might be able to find the lyrics (not always pretty difficult) and you can google translate it. :) Good luck
@Irelandhasmyheart Happen to know of any websites that offer language courses in Gaelic or Welsh? Those are two languages that i've wanted to learn ever since i found out that i was part Irish.
@Fireheart528 Hmmm I know my library does it...but need a library card so not very helpful sorry. I can't really think of many online ones. But I really can't blame you! They are great languages!
It is Bunbeg Beach in Gaoth Dobhair, Beautiful place! I spent many a summer on that beach, although it mainly rained, lol.
The boat is a wreck of an old fishing boat, which unfortunately is looking quite battered these days, I suppose being abused by the Atlantic will do that to ya! Its on the same beach mentioned above. Hope this helps
The fishermen of the area would paint the boats every year before the salmon season and this is one of the places they used to do this. The boat is 'Bád Eddie beag', as far as I know Eddie went on the beer and the boat ended up being bought by the hotel owner in the background.
what type of irish song is this ,is it an air ??i just need to know as i am playing it on my harp for one of my pieces for my practical exam :D LOVE THE SONG !
Also, you can't rely on the stats of the heritage CLAIMED by a nation as diverse as America or Canada as people have a tendency to pick and choose or romanticize their past (an oppressed roguish Irish relative is more attractive than a tea sipping Brit landowner for example) , if those stats meant anything their would be 3 or 4 times the amount of English, but that's not the case, as people are allowed report their own, meaning they essentially are a popularity contest and mean nothing.
Most Americans/Canadians seem to have no idea what Scots-Irish actually means anyway, I don't know how many times I've heard someone refer to it as half Irish half Scottish, whereas they actually have no Irish blood in 90% of cases as the loyalist Scots were in Ireland to settle it on behalf of the British crown and many went on to America after a short while or never mixed with the locals.
eejits of the land, you can't be saying who's irish and who's not, athough surely living there and/or sharing the language and culture has something to do with it.
its a lovely song and a lovely place, but i don't think there's any genetic predisposition to liking irish music. lots of places have great folk music, and i'm sure irish music appeals to lots of different ppl. i'd say participating in a culture is more relevant than ancestry.
Am I going to be the American idiot who chimes in with 'Erin go Braugh :D'? Yes, I think I am. Apologies.
This song is amazing. I know the tune from a Chieftains CD, but the song on there is slower, in English, and sung by a man. This, as one commenter puts it, 'lights my soul on fire' with vivid imagery and emotion. Wonderful! I love Gaelic.
Thank you for sharing this amazing song with us. It really does brighten one's day to hear.
A beautiful song I've discovered a few months ago, it's so lovely it brings tear in my eyes..:) Will visit Ireland at least once before I die, a promise I've made years ago.

There is no guarantee that there will never be a space program in Africa. It's just as unlikely there currently, as a space program in Ireland. So, that means nothing. The nations that have a notable one could be counted on one hand. Culture can be adopted, and transformed. Ethnicity is an abstract.

There should be no Republic in the Isles. Like in the US here, different states, different people and thinking, even a big civil war, yet still a united country. Catholic scum killing for no good reason and destroying a once proud & regal country. Ruining the economy for so many years as well~

Is her pronunciation trustworthy? I'm trying to learn Gaeilge but I live in America so it's difficult. I was hoping to get adjusted to the pronunciation of words so that I could get more out of learning grammar and vocabulary. The problem is, I'm using a pronunciation guide, and what it says she should be singing isn't what it sounds like she's singing... =/
littlemisstypesalot 2 years ago
She is a fluent Irish speaker of the Donegal Dialect. Remeber this song was writen by her father and is sang in the Donegal dialect The way it should be sang. So her pernounciation is very trustworthy, depends on which irish dialect you want to learn
Donegal89 2 years ago 3
Ugh, there are so many sources of information on Gaeilge and barely any say what dialect they're talking about, so I can't really tell the difference. Thank you for telling me what dialect she's singing in though, now I can look it up. =)

Is pronunciation the only difference between the dialects, or is the actual written language itself part of it?
littlemisstypesalot 2 years ago
There a 4 known dialects, 1)Ulster/Donegal 2) Galway 3) munster 4) Book. There is differnce in pernounciation, spelling and words.
If your seaching on the net or reading books about Gealige then its probably Book Irish your learning. Not spoken widely but accepted more as Gealige. Depends if you are a native speaker or you were taught at school as a second language.

Which one would be considered "Dublin Irish"? I stumbled across a website that had a few lessons and the man that made it said that he spoke Dublin Irish.

"Is pronunciation the only difference between the dialects, or is the actual written language itself part of it?"
Major differences are in pronunciation but there are spelling/word differences too.
As examples "maith" (good) is pronounced like "mah" in the southern dialects but more like "my" in Donegal. In Munster in the south a dog is "madra" and a fox is "sionach" but in Donegal a dog is "madadh" (pron. mahdoo) and a fox is "madadh rua" (red dog). Hope this helps

NorseWarriorKing 1 year ago
@NorseWarriorKing Yes a lot of people from Belfast moved to Canada at the start of the Troubles after they were forced out by the IRA. Canada was a popular choice as it was a loyal member of the Commonwealth. I cant say anything about people who where born over here and moved out there but people who are born in America are American, people who are born in Canada are Canadian etc etc. The only two nationalities that dont hold to the land are British and Israeli.
Cruithnig 1 year ago
@Cruithnig You're suggesting that only the English supporters are over here. To that I say: POTATO BLIGHT. I think I made my point. And I know my mother considers herself Irish. My father thinks he's italian though, despite not having a single italian relative in the past thousand years. So maybe she's wrong, even though three quarters (low estimate) of her ancestors were Irish. I'm not saying I'm mostly Irish (A mix of that, Scottish (oh wait, the Scots migrated FROM Ireland!), English And
NorseWarriorKing 1 year ago
@Cruithnig (Continued) Norse), but this is the closest thing to Ireland outside of Ireland itself. I'll continue to consider myself halfway between Canadian and Irish for as long as I live. I might even move to Ireland and forget the halfway thing.

The fishermen of the area would paint the boats every year before the salmon season and this is one of the places they used to do this. The boat is 'Bád Eddie beag', as far as I know Eddie went on the beer and the boat ended up being bought by the hotel owner in the background.

Also, you can't rely on the stats of the heritage CLAIMED by a nation as diverse as America or Canada as people have a tendency to pick and choose or romanticize their past (an oppressed roguish Irish relative is more attractive than a tea sipping Brit landowner for example) , if those stats meant anything their would be 3 or 4 times the amount of English, but that's not the case, as people are allowed report their own, meaning they essentially are a popularity contest and mean nothing.
Isthistakenn 2 years ago
Most Americans/Canadians seem to have no idea what Scots-Irish actually means anyway, I don't know how many times I've heard someone refer to it as half Irish half Scottish, whereas they actually have no Irish blood in 90% of cases as the loyalist Scots were in Ireland to settle it on behalf of the British crown and many went on to America after a short while or never mixed with the locals.

eejits of the land, you can't be saying who's irish and who's not, athough surely living there and/or sharing the language and culture has something to do with it.
its a lovely song and a lovely place, but i don't think there's any genetic predisposition to liking irish music. lots of places have great folk music, and i'm sure irish music appeals to lots of different ppl. i'd say participating in a culture is more relevant than ancestry.

Am I going to be the American idiot who chimes in with 'Erin go Braugh :D'? Yes, I think I am. Apologies.
This song is amazing. I know the tune from a Chieftains CD, but the song on there is slower, in English, and sung by a man. This, as one commenter puts it, 'lights my soul on fire' with vivid imagery and emotion. Wonderful! I love Gaelic.
Thank you for sharing this amazing song with us. It really does brighten one's day to hear.
