Are you sure this is the Pogues? From what album? Where did you get this song from? Shane recorded this song with the Popes. It's definitely not the version from "The Snake" but I don't think this was done with the Pogues.

I got it from their boxset of rarities "Just look them straight in the eye and say Pogue Mahone!" Yeah this is an out-take from the Hell's Ditch album recording sessions, recorded in 1990 I think, definitely with the Pogues :P

@Biervampy And the sineadh fada is in the other direction :) Tha sinn òg would be in Standard Irish Táimid óg (Tá muid (sinn) óg). An after the changes in Standard Irish several years ago, there are still existing former forms in Gàidhlig which are no more being Standard Irish (Caighdéan oifigiúil), like saol being afore saoghal. Slàinte mhath, a chara :-)

@SupersonicSongbird94 Tapadh leat (Go raibh maith agat). It is nice to read a little bit of Scottish Gaelig. One of my favorite bands is Runrig and I'm pleased that a I understand lot of that what they are singing with my Irish knowlegde. If you know some transformations between Irish and Scottish orthography it makes it much easier. For example: Beul - béal, leithsgeul - leithscéal. sgian - scian and so on. Chuala mi would be "chuala mé" in Irish.

@ArrowParadoxInc I don't know what do you with stereotypically Irish, as I'm not Irish. I made a joke, and I am loving The Pogues for 25 years. Take it easy.

@Biervampy Aye, chuala mi air "Aisling" na ainm, ach cha do smaoinich mi riamh air mar ainm Gaidhlig :) haha Tha mi duilich, chan eil mi cho math leat agus chan urrainn dhomh an da seorsa Gaidhlig a bhruidhinn - Sorry! I wish I could type even a wee bit of Irish Gaelic but I don't think I could manage it. Rinn thusa math ged tha :D Oidhche mhath, agus slainte mhath :)

@SupersonicSongbird94 Tha sin ceart agad. (Tã an ceart agat). I'm not sure if it the right answer in Gaeilge na Albainn (Gàidhlig). But Aisling is female name, too. I don`t know, if this name exists in Scotland , too.

Oidhche mhath (Oíche mhaith as Gaeilge na hÉireann).

@Biervampy I speak Scots Gaidhlig and I think Aisling means "Dream"..? :)

[ArrowParadoxInc]

Why is it that everyone's gotta act as stereotypically Irish as possible when commenting on the music of this awesome band?

[Biervampy]

An bhfuil an amhrán seo as Gaeilge? :)))

@richmond450 This ain't The Snake version.
