Traditional Irish drinking song, "The Juice of the Barley," performed by Jesse Ferguson, the Bard of Cornwall. This song incorporates a line of Gaelic: "bainne na mbó ar na gamhna," which roughly translates to "the milk of the cow is fine for calves." "Juice of the Barley," means whiskey. I learned this song from the Clancy Brothers, and my pronunciation of the Gaelic is modelled on theirs.

This is one of my favorite Irish drinking songs and you more than do it justice.
