Liam O'Maonlai & Hothouse Flowers - Sí do mhamo í (Sult) www.tg4.ie
Curfá: Chorus:
'Sí do mhaimeo í, 'sí do mhaimeo í
She's your granny, she's your granny
'Sí do mhaimeo í cailleach an airgid
She's your granny, the hag with the money
'Sí do mhaimeo í ó Bhail' Iorrais Mhóir í
She's your granny from the town of Iorrais Mór
'S chuir-feadh sí cóistí 'r bhóithre Chois Fharraige
And she would put coaches on the roads of Cois Farraige

'bhFeicfeása 'n "steam" 'ga'l siar Tóin Uí Loing'
If you'd see the steam boat going past Tóin Uí Loing'
'S na rothaí gh'l timpeall siar óna ceathrúnaí
And the wheels turning speedily at her flanks
Caithfeadh sí'n stiúir naoi n-uair'ar a cúl
She'd scatter the store nine times to the rear
'S ní choinneodh sí siúl le cailleach an airgid
But she never keeps pace with the hag with the money

(Curfá) (Chorus)

'Measann tú 'bpósfa, 'measann tú 'bpósfa
Do you reckon he'd marry, do you reckon he'd marry
'Measann tú 'bpósfa cailleach an airgid?
Do you reckon he'd marry the hag with the money?
Tá 's a'm nach 'bpósfa, tá 's a'm nach 'bpósfa
I know he'll not marry, I know he'll not marry
Mar tá sé ró-óg 'gus dólfadh sé'n t-airgead
Because he's too young and he'll drink the money

(Curfá) (Chorus)

'S gairid go 'bpósfa, 's gairid go 'bpósfa
We'll soon have a wedding, we'll soon have a wedding
'S gairid go 'bpósfa beirt ar an mbaile seo
We'll soon have a wedding by two in the village
'S gairid go 'bpósfa, 's gairid go 'bpósfa
We'll soon have a wedding, we'll soon have a wedding
Séan Shéamais Mhóir agus Máire Ní Chathasaigh
Between Séan Séamais Mór and Máire Ní Chathasaigh

(Curfá 3x) (Chorus 3x)

'S gairid go 'bpósfa, 's gairid go 'bpósfa
We'll soon have a wedding, we'll soon have a wedding
'S gairid go 'bpósfa beirt ar an mbaile seo
We'll soon have a wedding by two in the village
'S gairid go 'bpósfa, 's gairid go 'bpósfa
We'll soon have a wedding, we'll soon have a wedding
Séan Shéamais Mhóir agus Máire Ní Chathasaigh
Between Séan Séamais Mór and Máire Ní Chathasaigh

The way he sings it is more traditional. Don't get me wrong I love Meavs voice, but it's too sqweaky clean for a song like this.

Tom and McSherry were playing with Kila, and I was in front falling in love with McSherry, he is so cute and he play them pipes well.

@azgeogirl To be honest, speaking for myself personally, I think that the further away you get from Celtic Woman the better! You should take a look at Dara Bán Mac Donnchadha's interpretation if you've got a moment. It's about as different as you could get without doing a completely different song. You'll find it on YouTube under the alternative title Cailleach an Airgid. He starts singing just after 3'45", just to save you a little time :)

[U2Lorri]

Gaelico . Lingua Nazionale dell'Irlanda. Libera. !!

[paddydaughton]

@PastryMagician420: I agree!!



[Tech98]

This version beats the pevious ones I've heard. Tá sé go maith!

[Fishmonger1966]

That was cool!

[azgeogirl]

This sounds really odd when the only version you've ever heard is the one from Celtic Woman! But its great!! :)

[hisbigal]

Iontach!

[greysealhugger]

kathleentherose, I remember Sir Henry's in Cork. I lived in Cork for awhile and went there a few times. Great fun!

[jeremiahsineiii]

Any luck?

[lreed612]

Could anyone help me find the song that plays during the ending credits? Or perhaps a DVD of the series.
