In commemoration of the centenary birth of author Máirtín Ó Cadhain 'Cré Na Cille' is the darkly humourous tale set in a Conamara cemetery, which portrays the intense jealousy and hatred between two sisters, Caitríona and Nell which worsens with age and continues into the afterlife.

Dhá mbeadh mo chlann sa mbaile agam
an oíche a bhfaighinnse bás,
Go dtórróidís go croíúil mé
trí oíche 's trí lá;
Bíodh na píopaí fada cailce dhom
na ceaigeannaí is iad lán,
'S beidh triúr ban óg ó shléibhte
le mé a chaoineadh os cionn cláir.

Ar dhul siar thar Inse Ghainimh dhom
bíodh a' bratach in a' a crann,
Ná cuirigí i Leitir Caladh mé
mar ní ann atá mo dhream.
Ach tugaigí siar go Maínis mé,
áit a gcaoinfear mé os ard,
'S Beidh soilse ar na dumhchannaí....

Who is singing this beautiful song and is the name of it in the title?

[rosgireland]

@Renapple Hi Renapple,

Thank you for your message. It is a traditional song called "Amhrán Mhaínse", roughly pronounced "ow-rawn vween-sheh". The singer is Áine Ní Dhroighneáin and this is an excerpt from the film "Cré na Cille" (Graveyard Clay) which has been released on DVD.

I find this absolutely wonderful, a song that really is beautiful. These days it's hard to find special music like this and I'm happy that the Irish people have the wonderful talent to do this. I'm glad to be part Irish, and happy to have found this song.

@foodboss13 Thank you so much for your lovely comment. She does have a beautiful voice and it is a beautiful song. It was a perfect start to the film for us.

@rosgireland I really appreciate that you took the time to reply. I couldn't agree more. Tell me a little bit about you channel. I know it is something about the Gaelic language. I would like to learn more about this language!

[rosgireland]

@foodboss13 We are a film company based in the west of Ireland. All of the videos on our channel are productions of ours. This one is from the film, Cré na Cille (Graveyard Clay). We do have quite a bit on the Irish language as this is the language most of our productions are in. They are all subtitled though - so people that don't speak Irish don't miss out! :)

@rosgireland Thanks for that.

I regard this as one of the finest and as one of the most moving songs I have ever heard in any language. Although I regularly listen to songs in languages I will never know I am really very glad that I have not yet forgotten the Irish I was forced to learn at school so many long years ago.

@muisire Is amhran bronach e ! Ta guth an amhranai seo go halainn, mar sin fein ni maith liom torramh a fhecail !

[rosgireland]

@muisire Go raibh míle maith agat as ucht do theachtaireacht a chara. Tagann an píosa seo as scannán atá déánta againn darbh ainm Cré na Cille.
