Na Gamhna Geala - Triona Ni Dhomhnaill 1976

Triona Ni Dhomhnaill singing this song "The White Calf" from her 1975 album "Triona"
It's the story of a woman who regrets being wedded and longs to be herding cattle again.
And who can blame her!

tá sí iontach, ach nach bhfuil an sloinne "ní dhomhnaill"? níl sé ceart, "ní domhnaill".

"The Shawshank Redemption"--Red: "I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it."

In Welsh, we call lenition "treigladau." Adjectives describing a feminine noun will take the "treiglad meddal," soft mutation or lenition.

She sure could hit those notes, listening to her later work it does not seem like much has changed in that? .... cheers!

Perhaps the most accomplished of all our great revival figures - always loved Triona.
