City of Chicago - Luka Bloom (as gaeilge)

City of Chicago - Luka Bloom (as gaeilge)

Tá an amhrán seo ó ceol 06.

This song is from ceol 06 and is sung in the Irish language. Christy Moore, (luka's brother) may be more famous for singing this song, but Luka wrote it. It tells the story of what An Gorta Mór (the great hunger or the irish patato famine ) did to Ireland. How millions were forced to leave their native land and seek a new life elsewhere.

The piece at the beginning is from " The field " with Richard Harris and Sean Bean. (written by John B Keane)

Cathair Mhór Chicago (Luka Bloom)

Thiar i gcathair mhór Chicago,
Is an oích' ag dul faoi scáth,
Tá daoine ann ag smaointiú,
Ar na sléibhte i nDún na nGall.

An tráth sin, lár na haoise,
Le linn an Ghorta Mhóir,
Pianta gránna ocrais --
D'imigh milliún lán le deor'.

Gan saibhreas ar a n-intinn,
Gan ghlóir ar bith taobh thiar,
Ag streacailt 'is ag caoineadh,
Báid Bhána ar an mhuir.

Ar roinnt acu bhí saibhreas,
Roinnt eile, clú is cáil,
Bhí anró ann gan ghearán,
Is cailleadh ar an máigh.

Ag siúl ar fud na tíre,
'S ar bhóithre iarainn leo,
Ag scaipeadh cheol a gcroíthe,
'Tabhairt sochair dá gcuid bróin.

[Irishfreak]

Go hiontach! I loved this song as bearla, its even better as gaeilge

[WolfArden44]

Some of them were rich,Others, well known,There was hardship without complaint,The loss of the Moy.Walking across the country,I iron them on roads,Distributing music to their hearts,

'Tackling benefit their sorrow.

Great video. Ná déan dearmad ar

Erin Go Bragh

[WolfArden44]

West in a big city Chicago,The night goes under the umbrella,There are people thinking,On the mountains in Donegal.

At that time, middle age,During the Famine,Nasty hunger pains Has left many with tears one million.Without wealth on their minds,Without any glory behind,At streacailt 'is crying,White boat on the sea...

[blue1990irl]

ní féídir liom mo lámh a chur ar chóip den field ar dvd, bhfuil aon ionchur ag éinne ar bith ar áít go bhféidfinn é a fháíl?? míle buíochas.....sár phost dála an scéil, thar a bheith cumhachtach agus líontar mo chroí 's mé ag éisteacht leis...an ghaeilge go bráigh

[seikyoukainoakira]

"outsiders"

the same outsiders Ireland is now being inundated with, and outsider Jewbos like Straw, Milliband, Sarkozy, Tothschild, Soros who are raping Ireland with Cowan et al's help

[boflynn78]

anois tá sé am den maithiúnas

[seoladhmc]
