Some teachers don't teach out of love but out of duty, I try to promote Irish out of love and duty. Glad to hear that you found the video useful, good luck with your exams 😊
I’ve got a huge Irish exam tomorrow and no one in my class could find this poem or notes on it in their handouts. Thank you so much for this video, you just saved an entire Irish class!
since i discovered great grandparents came here in potato famine really inspired me feel i have a undeveloped part of my brain thats Irish Gaelic . love this poem fantastic
I loved your patient explanation of this lovely poem! This is the type of cultural artifact that truly inspires me to dive deeper into Irish language. thank you and I hope you might share similar works
Beautiful poem, very well translated. Reminds me of the beautiful foggy October nights we used to travel home from my grandmother's house after spending the day with her. As a little boy I used to love to see the moon over the mountains "a ritheann romham". She really was "mo chara ar an bhòthar". Thank you so much for bring back so many lovely memories. Go raibh maith agat.
Your explanation of prepositions was great and reminded me of the Breastplate of St. Patrick. Christ before me, Christ beside me etc., I would love to hear that in Irish.
Love the poem and the nature imagery! I was very pleasantly surprised how much made sense and tied back to more familiar words, once you explained the lines so patiently and clearly. Studying in my native U.S., visiting Ireland for my first time this year. I promise to drive very carefully!
The Moon 🌙 She is the queen of the sky The beauty of the night Secret star, that runs before me My friend on the road On a trip In darkness Her face, now camouflaged in fog Above parks and trees She flies Spreading shadows The country in her arms My beauty/Skywoman/beautiful woman My secret heart The moon 🌙
Thank you so much for this wonderful video! These types of cultural appreciation with a focus on language inspire me to continue my studies of the beautiful Irish language.
I just discovered your channel and I am so glad. Although I am not Irish (just of Irish descent) I did have two semesters of Irish in school, but because I had no real opportunity to use it I have lost most of what I learned. But I have been trying to relearn as much as I can and this channel has been incredibly helpful, more than most of the ones I have found so far. I’m actually getting to the point I can figure out the general meaning of some words I haven’t seem before.
This is really cool stuff! I wish there were more poetry/youtubes/videos/music in Irish translated to English (via subs mostly ofc, not in such detail).
Great video. Very informative and enjoyable. There is just one small thing I would change. I think if it is meant to mean parks "and trees", it should say "is chrainn" and not "is chriann". I believe "chrainn" is the lenited form of "crainn" which means trees. Other than that, I think the video is perfect. 🙂
@@LearnIrish Wow! Brilliant! That's gorgeous! Thank you so much! Did you ever see the episode of the Agatha Christie series "Poirot" that had that message? Those will also be perfect garden decorations. The Letters on Ballets & Dancing book says that the harp represents choreography

Físeán iontach, a Dane! is breá liom sean-dánta mar seo a aimsiú a chuidíonn liom staidéar a dhéanamh ar mo chuid Gaeilge, mar tá na focail níos tábhachtaí nuair a thugtar duit ó dhuine seachas nuair a thugtar gaeilge duit i téacsleabhair agus abairtí samplacha. Grma.
@@LearnIrish Tá mé ag iarraidh i ndáiríre a fhoghlaim an teanga seo chomh maith, tá mé ag roinnt luck. Is mór agam tú ag cabhrú linn go léir inár scileanna fuaimniú. ☺️
The poem is beautiful. I Echo all the comments. I hope you don't get sick of my questions but what did you say after you finished the poem? You didn't translate it and as you would say, I don't have enough Irish to figure it out. I want to send you one of those very Irish, very elegant, very beautiful hugs. GRMA

Best explanation of an Irish poem ever. I'm ready for another poem in time. I will do my best to learn it by heart and maybe set it to music.
Best wishes to you 🙂

I certainly hope to, it's nice to see an appreciation for poetry because a lot of Irish people have hang ups going back to their school days.
Every new video is like another piece in a giant jigsaw as you reveal the context of each word and phrase. Thank you for this beautiful poem. 😊💚☘
I'm glad to hear you appreciate it, thank you.

This was really really good. I’d love to hear more Irish poems.
I hope to do more soon 😊
The Moon
🌙
She is the queen of the sky
The beauty of the night
Secret star,
that runs before me
My friend on the road
On a trip
In darkness
Her face, now
camouflaged in fog
Above parks and trees
She flies
Spreading shadows
The country in her arms
My beauty/Skywoman/beautiful woman
My secret heart
The moon 🌙
Thank you 👏🇭🇲😀🌈

Might be a misspelling perhaps on my part.
Thank you! Which mythological characters or figures would the Irish or Ireland correlate with?
My favourite Eiriú, the woman who is depicted as a representation of Ireland. Check out the Éireann go brath Green flag with a gold harp.

Those will also be perfect garden decorations. The Letters on Ballets & Dancing book says that the harp represents choreography
Interesting. Ireland is the only country in the Galaxy that has a musical instrument as its emblem. Food for thought.

@@LearnIrish Rúnda meaning secret, Ros na rún has secret in its name
Indeed, the secret headland perhaps, Irish place-names are rich in history and mythology.
Is fear barr thú
Níl tú mícheart
Seems very reminiscent of the type of poems that the old Bards would sing for sovereignty godesses/figures, like Macha.
Interesting, possibly so.
why is it v sounds where there isnt one?
how to understand this?
Just in case you haven't noticed, this is Irish and it is a much older language than English, it has no obligation to make itself easier for a native Germanic language speaker.
Phycology has no S, what's that all about eh?
Isn’t “Sí” in the first line a contraction of “Is í”? There’s an apostrophe missing.
It's not really my job to draw these types of conclusions to be honest. It is what it is.
Níos mó mar seo, le do thoil

You have horrible English accent) But lessons are great
I don't (and never will) suffer the ignominy of speaking in an English accent.
Are there many poems or works of literature in Irish?
Yes
