  • Amharc, mná ag obair lá 's mall san oíche,

    Ceolann siad ar laetha geal, a bhí,

    Bealach fada anonn 's anall a chóich.

    (Translation:

    Look, women working by day and late at night,

    They sing of bright days that were,

    A long way back and forth forever.)

  • I would love to know what she's saying in this song!! I love it so much, the melody takes me so far away from here.

  • Most of the song is like "scatting" I think. Supposedly based on traditional waulking songs. That one paragraph in the middle is sung in the Irish language which is a different dialect from Scottish Gaidhlig. It's a great little tune even if you can't really sing it.

  • these lyrics are based on how they sound right?

  • @irisjuju True :)It's like Scottish Gaelic, it;s like horo, horo eile, or Eo hao o hao o, Eo hao o hao o

    Hao ri ri o hu o, Hao ri ri o hu o , Ro ho i o hi o or Hi ho ru bha ho, Hi o 's na ho hi ho ro

    'S na hi ho ru bha ho it's mouth music it's where its just meanlingless words. . Same principle here. Hear any Gaelic song and it be have some sort of outh music. Even popular song I Bhi A Da has mouth music as a chorus.

  • @Gaeilgeoir Nope very wrong. It's mouth music or puirt and buel which is common in Scottish and Irish music.

  • @jamielivefree The language is irish, this was on Shepherd Moons in 1991 before loxian

  • i don't even know what she is saying but i love this song

  • ITS LOXIAN!!!!! AN INVENTED LANGUAGE DEVELOPED BY ENYA AND RYAN ROMA....GOOGLE IT....THANK ME PLEASE FOR FINALLY ANWERING THIS QUESTION!

    I LOVE EBY AND I CONSIDER MY SELF LOXIAN AND IM MAKING IT A RELIGION

  • @FreddiesDelilah It's more accurate and less confusing to refer to the Celtic language of Ireland as "Irish"; all materials on the language also only say Irish on them.

    Any materials labeled as "Gaelic" are for Scottish Gaelic. Strictly speaking, yes, of the 6 Celtic languages, Irish, Gaelic & Manx are the 3 "Gaelic" or Goidelic languages; the other 3 are Brythonic: Welsh, Cornish and Breton.

    All are spoken again today and being taught today.
