Bog braon, bog braon, bog braon don tseanduine,

Ubh chirce, ubh chirce, ubh chirce don tseanduine,

Feoil úr, feoil úr, feoil úr don tseanduine,
feoil úr is braon súp is a thabhairt don tseanduine.

On his album 'Seven Steps to Mercy' he translates the title of this song as 'The Old Man Rocking the Cradle'. Which seems to answer the question about whether 'old fella' is an old man or a baby.

[GreenLantern1916]

@InnisInc Sean Duine means "old man" (literally "old person")

Lovely! Thank you.

interesting, though useless as far as history is concerned.

They originated in Switzerland, around the Danube River. The name 'Danube' is actually descended from 'Danu', the Celtic mother goddess of their mythology. The Gaulish population was a nation of Celtic clans, and (I think) so is the population of Germany, and Spain.

I would reccomend you read Peter Berrisford-Ellis' book "A brief History of the Druids" and "A Brief History of the Celts" Excellant reads, and not too heavy. Also Caeser's "The Gaulish Conflict" may be

Más mian libh úsáid a bhaint as an nGaeilge a chairde, bí cinnte, le bhur dtoil, gur fíor-Ghaeilge atá inti. Nílim ag cáineadh droch-litriú ná neamhchruinneas (mar ní faightear saoi gan lucht) ach a leithéid de "féar plé". Ní haon Gaeilge a leithéid, ach Béarla ag dul i riocht Gaelach. Is é mo comhairlese ná, nach bhfuil tairbhe ar bith le bhaint ag an dteanga as drochíde den chineál seo. Níl sa thruflais seo ach tarcaisne dár n-oidhreacht ársaidh. (Comhairle ó Éireannach seanórtha.)

I just realised today - although it is [justified &] ancient,

it's not actually *that* long ago (pre-1750, for example)

that this beautiful & noble sound was the tongue of more than half the surface of the British Isles!

Anyone know anything about the Celts as originating from Central Europe?

In spoken language, and especially in song, the strict rules of grammar bend, in order to allow the free flow of emotion, as well as subtle nuance and [double-) meaning. Just a disclaimer - I know very little about Goedelic & Brythonic grammar, and since my focus is on greater Hindustan (maha-Bharat), even though these languages are of the distant past & no doubt of the gods (just as classical Greek & Latin, Russian also) - I think the Sanskrit of the Bhagavatam shall be my focus ;)
