Carthach Mac Craith (Danú) - Iníon An Fhaoit' ón nGleann

A love song from Glyn, Waterford/Tipperary (recorded Jan 1988).

Lyrics below from last two verses of Mac Craith's video version (1988). Buíochas do staidmheidhreog do na liricí seo. http://ie.youtube.com/profile?user=staidmheidhreog

Maidin cheoch nuair a dh'éiríos
is do ghabhas amach na coillte
Is ansúd a bhuail an treaghd mé
ná leigheasfar faraor,
Do chuala 'n bhruinneall mheidhreach
i lúb na coille ag éisteacht,
Is do las mo chroí le graidhin di
nó gur dea-bhean dom í.

Agus siúil, a chuid, bí ag gluaiseacht
gan scíth, gan stad, gan fuarú,
Tá an oíche ghairid shamhraidh ann
agus beam araon ar siúl,
Gheobhair aoibhneas bailtí móra
agus radharc lem' thaobh ar chuanta,
Is a Chríost, nach ró-bhreá 'n uain í
le hiníon an Fhaoit' ón nGleann.

Dá mbeinnse lá breá gréine
im' shuí ar bhinn an tsléibhe
An lón dubh 's an cheirseach
's iad a' seinniúnt os mo cheann;
Ba dheas do scríobhfainn véarsa
agus b'ionadh leo mar a léifinn
D'fhonn bheith suite taobh leat,
a Iníon an Fhaoit' ón nGleann.

Mar a tharla sé, tá leagan an-chosúil leis seo ag Ann Mulqueen agus a beirt iníonacha ar a ndlúthdhiosca "Briseann an Dúchas."


Other lyrics: ... na céadta leaganacha ann!

Siúil, a chuid, bí ag gluaiseacht gan scíth, gan stad, gan fuarú,
Tá an oíche ghairid shamhraidh ann is beam araon ar shiúl,
Mar a bhfaighimid radharc ar chuanta, ceol, aoibhneas, bailte móra,
Is, a Dhia, nach ró-bhreá an uain í d'iníon an Fhaoit' ón nGleann.

Táimse (Tháimse) lán de náire, trí (tré) gach beart dá ndearna,
Mar is buachaill óg a chráigh (crádh) mé is d'imigh uaim mo ghreann.
Ní beo mé (dom) mí ná ráithe mura bhfaighe mé póg is grá uait,
Agus fáilte chaoin ó do chairde, a iníon an Fhaoit' ón nGleann.

Bhí mé lá breá aerach i mo shuí ar bhinn an tsléibhe amuigh
Sea chuala an lon is an chéirseach ag seinm os mo cheann;
Is deas a scríobhfainn bhéarsaí is ní deise ná mar léifinn
Stair do do mholadh féinig, a iníon an Fhaoit' ón nGleann.


Iníon An Fhaoit' ón nGleann (Inion)

[ButterflyGoddessDru]

I've been listening to every a' capella Gaelic song I can find, and each performer has the most incredible voice. Ireland should be very proud.

[piperjaybird]

a'capella Gaelic song = sean n-ós song :)

[angelabinu]

Beautiful!!!

[truskinboy]

amazing pure

[piperjaybird]

This argument just became farcical. Frankly, I`m dissappointed!

[buaileamscith]

Theres a habit in america to call any kind of unaccompanied Irish singing sean nos. Sean nos to me is singing with a loose rhythm and spontaneous ornamentation. Luibins can be sung loosely and drawn out but the chorus rhythm is strict, and they are definitely in a different category than sean nos ballads.

[piperjaybird]

Granted, a man could sing "Sweet Child of Mine" a`capella in Gaelic, totally rock out, and I think we`d agree that`s not Sean N-ós. I simply assumed ButterflyGoddessDru wasn`t referring to all the videos of that on youtube when she left her comment! And a luibin is not "another type of a' capella singing", it`s a particular style of song firmly rooted in the Sean N-ós tradition. Boo-yah

[buaileamscith]

Not true Sean nos is only one form of a' capella Gaelic singing. Luibineach is another type of a' capella singing for example.

[colaoghaire]

Tá an t-amhrán seo ar dlúthdhiosca agam agus níor mheall sé mórán dom nó gur chuala leagan Chárthaigh de. Maith thú!

[kmryan182]

His voice is beautiful. I just wish I could speak Gaelic so I'd know what he was saying haha.
