Sé a Pheadair, a aspaill, a bhfhaca tú mo ghrá bán? Chonaic mé ar ball é dá ruaigeadh ag an namhaid
Oh Peter, apostle, did you see my loved one? Alas, alas, and alas! I saw him while ago, being attacked by the enemy Alas, alas, and alas!
(Keen is repeated throughout)
Óchón, is óchón ó. Óchón, is óchón ó
Muise cé hé a fear breá atá ar Chrann na Páise? An é nach n-aithníonn tú do mhac, a Mháithrín?
Who is that fine man on the Tree of Passion? Don't you recognize your own son, Mother
An é sin an maicín a d'iompar mé trí raithe? Nó an é sin an maicín a rugadh insan stábla?
Is that the little son I carried for three trimesters? Is that the little son who was born in the stable?
Nó an é sin an maicín a h-oileadh in ucht Mháire? A mhicín mhúirneach, tá do bhéal is do shrónín gearrtha
Or is that the little son who was reared at Mary's breast? O little darling son, your mouth and your nose are cut
Is cuireadh táirní maola thrí throith a chosa is a lámha Is cuireadh sleagha thrína bhrollach álainn
And blunt nails were driven through his feet and hands And a spear was driven through his beautiful chest

Iarla actually was part of a band called the afro celtic sound system in the 1990's that fused hip-hop techno with irish music so Iarla had no problem with hip hop or dance music. I seen them myself and they were awsome. When Iarla performed you could hear a pin drop.
Beautiful thanks for posting it. I read that in sean nos singing in old times the singers held one hand with someone to show compassion and presence if the song was one of great grief and sorrow like this one. Like compassion suffering together that is.
effortlessly, nice, got chills. Sorry for my ignorance, which language is this? it is Irish, but how do you call it? It is a good song to listen now when in mourning in death of my peoples Patriarch, his hollyness mr Pavle. Thank you, Lanamaid! Éireann go Brách
Vyechnaya pamyat (Eternal memory). I had not heard till just now. Since you are an Orthodox brother or sister, please pray for the Church in America - we are struggling over here to develop the Orthodox Church to provide our faithful with the means to reach our beloved Christ.
Pomoz' Bog! Salute to all brethren and sisters in Christ and the others with good will. I am a member of Serbian Ortodoz Church. All the best with developing your Church, but I do not know whether there is American Ortodox Church. Mostly they are autokefal (selfgoverning) and sister-churches and confessing singe nations. best wishes!
