Casadh an tSúgáin - LYRICS + Translation - The Gloaming 

me too!

Hi friend! :)

Heyyy... I'm mesmerized by the song

me too!

@@rakshitaupadhyay1831 It's a strange thing what the Irish music/language does to me: It makes me happy and sad at the same time. Truly a mesmerizing song!

My great grandmother Burke used to sing Roisin the bow to me and sometimes she would throw some Gaelic in, never been more grateful for any other heritage than my Scot/Irish I totally get it.

what part of the gaelic world are you from if i may be so rude as to inquire ..

Thts wht makes us irish!.. Touch the heart with love..

I am Irish and understand what he means

Listening to it back home in Ireland, I knew it was sad. Living that feeling of longing and homesickness really hits now that I'm abroad.

It made me cry while I watched Brooklyn and I had no clue then what it meant. It just pulls at your heart strings.

North Spain was home to a Celtic people before the Roman Empire. Some of that culture endured the Romans, the Visigoths, and the Moorish invasions. Also, recent evidence shows that the first people to settle Ireland sailed there from Celtic Spain circa 1100 BC. Which sorta confirms an old Irish myth.

Do whatever you can to preserve your language, it's a little piece of our soul.

Yes that is what we call “Black-Irish”! I am American but have that blood in me, too

Travis Something Black-Irish were slightly different as they lived on Northern Ireland.

One of my favourite bands used to be Llan de Cubel. Seen them live a couple of times back in the 90s. Not to forget Milladorio, Berrogüetto, Susana Seivane, Luar na Lubre and others. Carlos Núñez, on the other hand, was always a bit too high-powered for my taste... Puxa Asturias! ;O)

I'm Irish but don't speak much Gaelic, but this song makes me cry too. There is so much emotion in the music that you do not need to know the words! Glad you enjoy it - hello from England and stay safe in Sudan my friend.

Go raibh maith agat (thank you)

Yeah same to me and I'm from Turkey

elsadig ali You should hear Muhammad al-Hussaini's rendition of this song (on RU-vid).

the men of ireland are the men god made mad, for their wars are happy, and their songs are sad.

Brooklyn brought me here as well....

Me too, breath taken away. Love this music so much. My heart leaps when I hear it. God bless you all.....

Yes agreed xx

Babak RezaZade Go raibh maith agat(thank you)🖤🖤🖤

Thank you and heart goes out to your country

We will thanks

We stopped speaking Irish because of colonization by the British. It’s still taught in schools, but poorly, so many grow up to hate it. Irish still lives on in 'Gaeltacht' areas; small pockets of Ireland where only Irish is spoken. But most would be proud nowadays of their ability to speak a few words 'as gaeilge'(in Irish).

@Average Dude Fuck conspiracy... I've been saying that since I was a kid.

Check out The Gloaming he is the lead singer.

J McD Me too!!!

Same 😁😁

Same here!

Sin agad e! Cum Gàidhlig agus Gaeilge beò! Beannachd leat. Deagh dhùrachd!

@@kevingillies7811 Beannacht as Éireann!

Ditto

You let me cru😍

Your Pic is beautiful

Maybe google the song title and it might come up with a German translation?

the song from brave is actually is Scottish Gaelic, whereas this one and amhrán na farraige are in irish

Ty Pettry Go raibh maith agat!

I love listening to UCD choral scholars! They are fantastic!

Gaelic is different to Irish (Gaeligue). Same as italian is different from french.

Benrey Vs Cat God Fair enough, I was unaware of that.

@@Mr_T_Badger its ok. Everyone has to learn something from somewhere. Even if its just a rando on the internet

HAHAHAHHA.

These are words unlike any other, they speak not to the ears or mind but to the soul

It is for me.

I think maybe English never has a “cn” (or “kn”) sound. Words like knife and knock always have the k be silent. I can’t think of any exceptions. That might be why the word sounds so fun.

@@thepip3599 in Ulster we pronounce it "crock"

English used to pronounce the 'k' in those words, that's why they are spelled that way. The spoken language evolves faster than the written one

Irish isn't a Romance or Germanic langauge, it's a Celtic langauge, closely related to Scottish Gaelic and Manx, further to Welsh, Breton and Cornish.

Gaelic has a lot of Latin and Greek loanwords, but it's got a fair amount of difference in verb forms, and there's lenition at the beginning of nouns to show the case, instead of changing the ends as in Latin, Greek, Russian, etc.

Thanks “suburb.” That bit about changing the beginning of the word helped me begin to decode the lyrics.

That one is amazing as well.

Yep, Bill Wilkie! Same with me. This song has been a part of my being since the moment I first heard Michael O’ Domhmaill of Bothy Band sing it. I’m thrilled to hear Iarla O’Lionaird sing it here. Wow.

Ninja Keks There is an app that helps very much(nemo Irish Gaelic)

Start with Duolingo. And then look for other speakers in your country. They are there. Check out the results from this search: www.google.com/search?q=germany+gaeltacht&oq=germany+gaeltacht

No but Brid og Ni Mhaille and Molly na gcuach are very pretty ;)

Thank you. I'll check them out

Hey, fluent Irish speaker here, I can help with anything you need just give me a text on Instagram @the_real_liluzivert

@@Daniel-vj9oq thanks 🙏

They made rope by twisting the fibres together. As two people make the rope, they get further apart. The girls mother is unwilling for him to visit, so she gives him this job, and when he backs out of the door, she shuts him out. The meaning of the titles is the twisting of the rope. thats not apparent in this translation.

It was a hand fastening which is vowels and marriage

Back in the early 1980s I followed the folk scene here in Australia. The Chieftains were very popular and "Casadh an tSúgáin" ("The Twisting of the Rope") was my favourite of theirs. The story of the song as told to me back then was that an old man, a bit of a heart-breaker in his younger days, saw a beautiful young girl bathing in the sea and was determined to marry her. She told him that he would have to ask her mother's permission. When he did so the mother told him that if there was to be a wedding that they would need more chairs for all the guests and that he would have to help [the chairs were the wooden type with woven rope seats (made from straw or reeds)]. The young bride-to-be and her mother gathered up all of the straw and the old man began to twist it into rope backing up as he did so. As he twisted the rope the young woman and her mother fed out more and more straw forcing the old man farther and farther away, as far away as the next district: "It's my thousandth misfortune that on Sunday you won't be with me as my wife". It is bittersweet to hear this sounding so much like Micháel Ó Domhnáill's 1979 version - déanann sé buille croi do mo chroí níos gasta. 💜 RIP Micháel.
