When songs like this are done the right way you can feel each word and note with every part of your body. The strings at the end pull the tears out just fine.
Im Polski but I Am here in USA...I was a 47 year old when I married my Irish DONEGAL hubby! It's never to late to marry your Soul mate! BARB! KEEP the Catholic Faith!
‘The story we had … [was] that his newly-married wife… gave him an eel full of poison for his dinner. And that his sister was sitting by his bedside, asking him questions. ‘Where were you all day? Cé raibh tú ó mhaidin, a dhriotháirín-ó?’ And then, ‘What will you leave your father? What will you leave your mother? What will you leave your brother? You know. What will you leave your wife?’ And he said, ‘Ifreann mar dhúiche aice. Hell may be her destiny. Flaithis a bheith dúinte uirthe. Heaven may be shut against her.’ And then he had two sons, according to this story, too, and she asked him, ‘What will you leave your little sons?’ ‘Hopping,’ he said ‘from place to place, begging their food,’ he said, ‘and ending up with the same way’ he said ‘I’m dying now.’ He was bitter, and who wouldn’t be? And this is the way they used to sing it at home.’ Cé raibh tú ó mhaidin, a dhriotháirín-ó? Cé raibh tú ó mhaidin, a phlúir na bhfear óg? Ag iasgach ‘s a foghlaéaracht, Cóirigh mo leaba dhom Tá mé tinn fó mo chroí, agus ligí dhomh luí. Céard a d’ith tú ar do dhinnéar, a dhriotháirín-ó? Céard a d’ith tú ar do dhinnéar, a phlúir na bhfear óg? Eascann a raibh lúib uirthe, Nimh fuinte brúite uirthi. Tá mé tinn fó mo chroí, agus ligí dhomh luí. Céard a fhágfas tú ag do daddy, a dhriotháirín-ó? Céard a fhágfas tú ag do daddy, a phlúir na bhfear óg? Eochair mo stábla aige Sin is mo láir aige Tá mé tinn fó mo chroí, agus ligí dhomh luí. Céard a fhágfas tú ag do bhean phósta, a dhriotháirín-ó? Céard a fhágfas tú ag do bhean phósta, a phlúir na bhfear óg? Ifreann mar dhúiche aice, Na Flaithis a bheith dúinte uirthi. Tá mé tinn fó mo chroí, agus ligí dhomh luí. Céard a fhágfas tú ag do mháithrín, a dhriotháirín-ó? Céard a fhágfas tú ag do mháithrín, a phlúir na bhfear óg? Dhá bhfágfainn saol brách aice D’fhágfainn croí cráite aice. Tá mé tinn fó mo chroí, agus béad go deo deo. Translation Where have you been all day, little brother? Where have you been all day, flower of young men? Fishing and hunting, Make my bed for me, I am sick to my heart, and I want to lie down. What had you for your dinner, little brother? What had you for your dinner, flower of young men? An eel cooked in herbs With poison pressed into it I am sick to my heart, and I want to lie down. What will you leave your daddy, little brother? What will you leave your daddy, flower of young men? The key to my stable And my mare for him I am sick to my heart, and I want to lie down. What will you leave your wife, little brother? What will you leave your wife, flower of young men? Hell for her dwelling-place Heaven being closed to her I am sick to my heart, and I want to lie down. What will you leave your mother, little brother? What will you leave your mother, flower of young men? If I were to leave her eternal life I would only leave her a broken heart I am sick to my heart, and always will be.
The english-lowlander version is "Lord Randall". In Italy we have "Il testamento dell'avvelenato", "L'avelenè d l'Ardundlà, ecc. Anyway the music is very different.
Despite listening to this song for literal years, I just discovered this is the same ballad (in English) as Swallowed by the Sea by All Them Witches and I can't get over it. They both are masterpieces.
It was calling me to move to Ireland and speak this beautiful language. The language of (some of) my ancestors. It makes me feel connected to my family’s history and knowing this beautiful language once was spoken by one of my ancestors. And it fills me with longing to live there not just in that country but in the time before all the Norse and English influence. Just pure Irish with their culture alone in the most peaceful and beautiful land in the world. When everyone there spoke this amazing language.
@@ricochet4674 Fair enough, but just to note that Irish as we know it today wasn't spoken "before all the Norse and English influence" (nor before Brittonic influence for that matter). All languages continually influence each other, and people travelled all over the British isles and to nearby Europe.
He controls his intonation and delivery just so perfectly. Masterful, masterful performance. His piano playing is outstanding too, with masterful glissandos which beautifully enhance, yet don't drown out the equally INCREDIBLE flute playing. It's an extremely soulful piece, performed ASTOUNDINGLY WELL by all.
Liam is a musical genius. I can’t understand why TG4, Conradh na Gaeilge and Gael Linn don’t record him singing the best 50 or 100 songs i nGaeilge ? It would be a treasure trove for future generations, and for baritone voices to sing along to. Liam has only recorded 4 or 5 songs as Gaeilge to-date.
Respect to our Celtic Agus Gael cousins in Alba. It is a beautiful lament. We all survived Cromwell and his kin. We are seeds that the English buried ,but we grew stronger. Never forget our suffering and teach our Children of the old Celtic paths. Saoirse Agus Saor.
Americans, keep in mind WHY our ancestors left the Old World, there are hints buried in all of these songs on WHY Ireland and Scotland were so toxic to live in. Better to be in America and unburdened by the ancient blood-feuds!
We used to sing a bastardised version of this song when I was a child, but this is its truth and it spirit. I found it by chance today, at a time when I am experiencing grief, and it's hard to explain what it did. Maybe it confirmed that grief is a pain known deeply in our cells, in our humanity, in our souls. And that, today, was what above all I needed, to share the pain. Thank you for this.

Please, please share with us all the gift of this haunting troubadour’s name- my heart is aching to hear the tales and woes only this mesmerizing and heartfelt voice can tell, and I am utterly bereft for not knowing if or how I may find him again.... My heart has truly been broken and calls out for the solace that only such a voice can bring to make it whole again!
He's Liam Ó Maonlaí. Same piece is posted with full musician credits (and lyrics) here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3eMR6zS4KaM.htmlsi=WyJuW37f4ii0i5aj
The flutist is Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh. She is an Irish singer with many of her own albums, but does play the flute beautifully as well. You will find the 3 primary musicians, Liam, Julie Fowlis, and Muireann, performing on the Highland Sessions series of videos, and a bit on Transatlantic Sessions.
It could be gone in the next 40 to 50 years and so will na hÉireannach if we allow mass immigration to continue unhalted. We're already at 80℅ in only 20 years, with 34℅ of under 15s having at least one non-Irish parent. I am sure that the same thing is happening in Scotland, as it's happening all over the UK. The people behind all of this, care nothing for this beautiful, unique and rich culture that we have. We are predicted to be a minority in our own countries by 2040.
The destruction of traditional Gaelic culture is a real and serious thing.To get informed and try and do something is not fringe or 'far right' or anything else like it. We are starting in Ireland finally talk about it but there is a violent fight against it! The media\government and even laws are trying to squash even asking questions!

@Macavity Macavity I am so sad to hear it. The sleepy well-fed natives are their own worst enemy. "You can go on and protest and lose sleep trying to tell folk. But I'm alright Jack" mentality. Beautiful Scotland. We are being told here by our piece of dog sht Taoiseach (PM) that we should "Embrace density". GRRRRR. Nothing makes me MORE furious. 4.5 million here 10 years ago, very little crime rate. The country was coming on nicely until the fabricated property bubble. Then it all went to hell. The un want to put 65million here. Like Scotland, Ireland is overall nicely sparsely populated. We need to keep it that way and protect our culture and ancient legacies.
@@marynadononeill Well said for all that Mary. I am following Irish patriot alright. Great stuff. If we don't, not only will songs like THIS be gone in this video, but there will be no one to sing them as the PEOPLE will also be gone!!! They want to PLANT 65MILLION here on this little 4.8million little aul rock of ours in the Atlantic. Bstrds.
Scandinavian music comes from Gaelic. Old Irish wS spoken in every cpuntry in thr workd befire Arabic etc. Then people would chop peoples heads off if they spoke God's language. To be a Hebrew or Iberu you had to go to Ireland and get an education for 20 years So all tjexaealtjy people in tje wotldcsent their children to Iteland to get an education. Norway. Kings kidnapped Irish women to make them their wives because they were so beautiful.
Thanks for your comment, you might be interested in our new trad channel ru-vid.com/show-UCgfCO6Y3KV1qX8YVFj8N4TQ dedicated solely to Irish traditional music, song and dance. Go raibh maith agat.

Yeah I get it Appalachian music pretty much sounds like this. My grandmother wouldn't even teach me hello in Gaelic but she was born in 1894. Illegal and she moved to USA. The native Americans even sing like this. Body language music language it comes through crying is crying
Guys this was truly the most beautifully crafted Celtic track that has ever graced my young Irish ears. Honestly hats off and fires lit just please never stop singing the old tunes...may they echo through every age to come 🙏 Love to you all your Anam Cara Luke Kelly 🎸🧙🏼♂️🚐🧚♀️🔥🍀

The people of the world became so full of indulgence that they believed they were bigger so language was scattered an to the gaels was the best language left
Does anybody agree that Liam O'Maonlai would be perfect for a small singing/acting part in Outlander? Especially with his beard & hair as it is in this video!
It is simply marvelous. I admire the power of language, the power of word, and it's musical dymension, the sound. Through language entire cultures live, survive through time or die... in the emptiness of the act of forgetting. Time is something interesting, the center of our hopes, but the very enemy against which we constantly fight with our poems, our songs and words... This is what means to be human: to speak, to sing, and to constantly fight Time, and at the same time, praying to the Ages that our memories carry on.
I woke this morning- listened to this beautiful lament and felt good. Then read the translation. Now feeling miserable ☹️ The day can only get better. 😃😃
To fully appreciate this music you need to transport your mind to the edge of the misty marsh that is the crossing point between this life and eternity.
Thank you for real Irish/celtic music, welcome to Gladstone Queensland Australia, it is a shame or irish pub doesn't provide the real music of the irish, they don't even know the uilleann pipes or durham drum;:::))
grioghair macgrioghair Damn straight! My dad’s family is from Skye and two of my ancestors disappeared at Culloden. This touches me deeply. I dabble in Gaelic but it’s the hardest language I’ve ever been exposed to. (German and Russian were far easier)
agreed letter pronunciation is so different i also only dabble with gaelic but to hear it i believe it to be the most beautiful language in the world ,so expressive my own family were dugald ciar gregorach and were forced to leave scotland firstly to france and then to the americas my owngreat grandfather only returning to england in around 1890 following the destruction of the native american lifeway after the greasy grass at which he claimed to have fought as a 14 year old boy along with his father ,both incidentally on the winning side
What a wonderful Experience, it tears ones Heart abroad, I could listen to this beautiful Music forever, how hauntingly the other Instruments and Voices add to the power of the Sung Words. Thank you all.
Do you guys know about any Manx music? My family comes from all over the British isles and Ireland. I'm learning Manx Gaelic and a Celtic Pagan, my father is fluent in Irish Gaelic and a Gaelic Celtic Druid, and we preserve all of the stories, mythology, and follow ancient cultural and social beliefs. To help me learn manx, I would love to hear more Manx Gaelic music, if you could find some!
