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.
