Translation of first verse:

Lyrics in English......Little Rose, be not sad for all that hath behapped thee:

The friars are coming across the sea, they march on the main.

From the Pope shall come thy pardon, and from Rome, from the East-

And stint not Spanish wine to my Little Dark Rose.

Written in 16th Century

@paulette01 I disagree. Strongly. The suffering was to preserve their Irish identity, which due to historical events, became identified with Catholicism. Mary was only elevated in the Catholic Church because the missionaries were having such trouble weening the Irish from goddess worship. The one true god of the Irish is a godess.If all the Irish converted to Protestantism, but continued to retain national language culture and identity, the Brits would have found another issue.

@BaldGrace Agree -- My folks were from mayo & Donegal. As I have grown older I have apreciated my Irish roots. My Wild Donegal ways, may mannered Westport ways. Climbed Crough Patrick in April , visited my 91 yr old Uncle, in view of the Holy Mount. Regaled with times him and my grandad capained the Irish international Fishing team.. I have been privaliged

They're simply saying that there is a different awareness of time in this sean nos style of singing.

What has religious belief got to do with it?

Spirituality is not the prerogative of some corrupt depraved organisation which has betrayed humanity.

Good music is nothing to do with religions or politics or ANY belief system.It is it's own language.We have to shut up and listen.

It's more than annoying to read these comments about buddah and zen masters.

The Irish have suffered for hundreds of years for their Catholic Faith. Catholic Faith..

And the Lord Jesus Christ, the one true God of the Irish, has instructed us all: Deny yourself, pick up your cross every day and follow me.
