Ailein Duinn (Dark-haird Alan)

This is a tribute to the beautiful Irish singer, Meav. Please comment, and also remember that I dont own rights to Meav.


Gura mise tha fo éislean
Moch sa mhaduinn is mi g'éirigh

Sèist: Ò hì shiùbhlainn leat
Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì
Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho
Ailein Duinn, ò hì shiùbhlainn leat

Ma 's e 'n cluasag dhuit a ghaineamh
Ma 's e leabaidh dhut an gheamainn

Ma 's e 'n t-iasg do choinlean geala
Ma 's e na ròin do luchd-faire

Dh'òlainn deoch ge b' oil le càch e
De dh'fhuil do choim 's tu 'n déidh do bhathadh

Translation:

How sorrowful I am
Early in the morning rising
Chorus (after each verse): Ò hì, I would go with thee
Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì
Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho
Brown-haired Alan, ò hì, I would go with thee
If it is thy pillow the sand
If it is thy bed the seaweed
If it is the fish thy candles bright
If it is the seals thy watchmen
I would drink, though all would abhor it
Of thy heart's blood after thy drowning

hmmm...It seems that I've heard a part of this song in TR legend, no? O-O'

[WlakyMaster]

Which language is that? :)

[ddthienvuong]

this is not the best version, though I think Meav's voice is best for this song! 'til now, Meav is the only one that shook my heart with this song! This version could have been WAY better if the 2nd part is less modern, I mean get rid of the freaking drum and those modern instruments! they ruined the spirit of the song!

[JandEGillett]

I find this performance of this song heart-stoppingly beautiful. Thank you for posting it and introducing me to a wonderful singer.

@allisonforfornsed The celts that lived in Ireland, Scotland, Britain, and western Europe, prior to the roman invasions, were many seperate tribes that shared a language that was similar but over time began to be characterized by regions. Their cultures and language were all similar.

@dijimac Don't listen to mercinarypheonix, they're full of s#@t. GAEILGE is IRISH, GAIDHLIG is SCOTTISH (both are celtic languages and both are Gaelic, and they are related to eachother) Welsh is celtic, but it is called CYMRAEG and it is not Gaelic it is Brythonic.
