I remember a winters night about 12 years ago in Co Leitrim myself and a few friends were having a seisiun. Across the road Micheal O'Domhnaill and Paddy Glackin were having a gig and after they came into the pub.After about 15 mins they asked us if they could play with us. These are things you cant refuse. A memorable night was had. Songs music craic drink and of course the Beatles. We will all miss him. Go raibh an choir ghaoithe i gconai leat

má bhíonn tu liom bí liom a stóirín mo chroí,

má bhíonn tú liom bí liom as comhair an tsaoil,

má bhíonn tú liom bí liom gach órlach de chroí,

sé mo loim go fann, nach liúm De Domhnaigh thú mar mhnaoi....

Now u can sing along :)

[CinntSaile]

As a Highland Scot, from a Donegal mother, I was brought up with "both" traditional strands of the Gaelic thread. This tune is one of the most beautiful of them all. Suas na Gaidheal.

Definition of a ballad

[MrEverthere]

First heard him sing the hills of granemore with mick hanley (munroe) followed him through bothy days had the pleasure of meeting him in rostreavor where he went out of his way to sing "the death of queen jane" just cause i asked him. A rare and gentle soul he blew me away with his quiet refined manner. Irish music was robbed of this great talent RIP

[cuckingfunts]

"mar mhnaoi" can also mean "as my wife". The idea is that he can't take her to Church with him, and be "open" about their relationship.

What a voice and intensity! Too bad he passed away...
