I would LOVE That.. it helps me learn, and i desperately want to learn.

@@celticrealms7413 the lyrics are also in the description

They don’t seem to match up to the song

Examples?

@@catserver8577 I would like to preface this with I am in no way fluent in the language, but I know enough of how words are pronounced to read along with someone speaking in a slow cadence. "'Tá ag troid, nó ag crith, Iad in aighneas", I don't hear these words. I hear "I do cheann, I do cheann" and I can't make out the last line, but it doesn't sound like it matches up. in the next stanza, where the lyrics say "smaointe ann", I once again hear I do cheann instead. Then for the rest of the song, aside from the chorus, the only lines that seem to match up are "... sáite báite, cráite leis an mbuairt seo". I know translating popular songs into another language but keeping cadence is tricky, especially when trying to write down the lyrics, and given that I'm still learning, I very well could be mishearing that which I say doesn't seem to line up. But this could all just be because I'm still learning, and someone with better Irish than I may be able to vouch that the lyrics do match, but once the first chorus ends, I find it near impossible to match most of what they're singing to what is actually written down as lyrics

@@KnightessTTV I have intermediate Irish (Gaeilge). Powerfully, the line you missed after "i do cheann, i do cheann" is "siad ag tosaigh" -- they are starting. In the original song in English that line translated to "they're still fighting" (referring to the war(s) for Irish independence) or "they are dying". "They are starting" feels like a powerful direct reference to what's happening now in Ukraine, especially when you put that whole stanza together, which would translate (as sung) "But dear (heart), it's not my strength, it's not my children/family, nor memory, in your head in your head, they are starting."

@@caeragramore7742 Well that clears up one mismatched lyric section. Thank you! :)

@@KnightessTTV Tá fáilte romhat. :) I've just listened to it for about my 3rd time through. In general it looks and sounds like they had an original written translation that mirrors some original lyrics but took more artistic license with fitting more words about the current situation in Ukraine to the tune of Zombie. Then in singing it they decided to keep it closer to the original song, for example mostly repeating the bridge into the 2nd chorus with slight variation from the first one (which the original song also does) instead of doing a whole different bridge on the 2nd verse. I'm still slowly working more on what changed, and guessing as to why. I know TG Lurgan has a lot of fans (like me) who are still learning the language, so I understand it can be frustrating to see one set of lyrics and hear something else. It's very beautiful and powerful either way though.

Here's a better version sung properly with the lyrics. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kNP7ABBqUu0.html

@@tonymolloy6165 thanks for this, it was a beautiful rendition

@@JayCottz Here's another Cranberries classic as Gaeilge:: The first one is a lyric video and the second is a normal video. Enjoy 😀 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w12sRoln5ew.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_372R-F6wKk.html

I actually started working on that myself years ago. Parts of the chorus actually scan in simple direct transliteration. :D

That would be amazing!

YEEAAAAAH. anois beadh job deas sin!!

Dead body brought back to life

The english version of 99 Luftballons tells a different story than the german version.

I think they were trying to support Ukrainians, Ireland took in a lot of refugees

Ukraine was invaded

@@Skyebright1 it's not as simple as that but it doesn't matter anyway, what happened to Irish neutrality?

@@adamperry835 they were neutral in the world wars because they didn't want to fight for the British, and it is as simple as Putin being a monster

Yeah you have England and Russia trying to crush a people and culture, but the people promoting their national pride
