Seal dá rabhas i m' mhaighdean shéimh,
/Shal daw row-uss im vy-jen hayv/
Once I was a gentle maiden,
'S anois i m' bhaintreach chaite thréith,
/sa-nish im vyn-trukh khotcha hray/
but now I'm a spent, worn-out widow,
Mo chéile ag treabhadh na dtonn go tréan
/Muh khay-la egg trow-a na down guh train/
my spouse strongly ploughing the waves,
De bharr na gcnoc san imigéin
/Deh vawr nah gnuk san im-ee-gain/
over the hills and far away.
Curfá Chorus
’Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear,
/Shay muh laykh muh ghil-eh mar/
My gallant darling is my hero,
’Sé mo Chaesar, ghile mear,
/Shay muh Khay-sur, ghil-eh mar/
He's my Caesar, gallant darling,
Suan ná séan ní bhfuaireas féin,
/Soo-un naw shayn nee voo-russ hayn/
I found neither sleep nor happiness
Ó chuaigh i gcéin mo ghile mear.
/Oh hoo-ig e gain muh ghil-eh mar/
since my gallant darling went far away
Bímse buan ar buairt gach ló,
/Beem-sha boo-un ar boort gokh low/
Every day I'm constantly enduring grief,
Ag caoi go crua is ag tuar na ndeor
/Eh kuee guh kroo-a iss eh toor na no-or/
weeping bitterly and shedding tears,
Ó scaoileadh uaim an buachaill beo
/Oh squee-lug wem on boo-khel byo/
because my lively lad has gone away from me
Is ná ríomhtar tuairisc uaidh, mo bhrón.
/Iss naw reev-tur too-rishk weg, muh vrohn/
and no news is heard from him, alas.
Thanks for these videos. Irish language is very tough to learn. Without you and your channel. We wouldn't have a ghost of a chance.
Love your videos. Very helpful Siobhan !
You are absolutely awesome
Exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you so much, I really want to sing this song, but I couldn't work out the phonetics. This is GOLD.
Hi siobhan, since it’s at Patrick’s day tomorrow ❤️☘️☘️☘️☘️
I jsut want to know how to say happy st Patrick’s day ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️🫶 keep up the good videos 😋👍👍
Genuine and beautiful from an old chap.
bravo. this was much needed.
I do not speak Irish Gaelic but I've been and still am trying to learn Scottish Gaelic. Came upon this video and find it very very interesting. Some things I understood and it was so nicely presented. Very clear speech, easy to follow. Thank you so much. I'll watch more of your videos. No, not even dreaming of trying to learn both versions of Gaelic but I like the sound of it and enjoy the beautiful rhythm of the sentences. 🙋🏻♀️Best wishes from the Bavarian Alps - my very own Highlands 😀
Thank you SO much for this!!!! I have wanted to learn this and now YOU have help me! Thank you so very much!
Listening to these videos makes me feel very emotional at times and gives me goosebumps, it is such a special language so beautiful to listen too. My Great Grandmother spoke it fluently
Really wish we had this when we were trying to learn to sing this song in choir.
Thank you so much! I've been trying to learn the verses to this song for years. Your pronunciation guide and the phonetic spelling were so helpful! I appreciate all the time and energy that went into making this video. I wonder if you would do a follow up video with another couple of verses?
I really like that song. I have it and the English translation.
Fantastic, Gó máith
Hello! Can you make a video on how to say “Erin Go Bragh”, there are no videos on how to pronounce this correctly. Thank you!
Dia dhuit Siobhan agus go raibh maith agath !
Greetings from France.
Well, that was informative.
Go raibh mile maith agat a Siobhan!
Thank you
Fáilte!
Hi can you tell me if "gan leithscéal" means no excuse
I'm in the middle of trying to learn my native language, and I am totally confused with some of the words in this particular video and I'm 100% sure it's my lack of understanding. But, my confusion? The word 'Because' which I've learned up to now is 'Mar'. Then there are other words like 'Bron', which I have thought meant 'sad' or 'sadness'. Please settle my determined mind and teach me the why I'm seeing things differently or is it a thing that I am still way behind in my efforts to learn Irish. Great vid by the way.
hein do
why cant gaelic be written like in english? would make things much easier. or simply switch to a phenotic script as the alphabet?
@@BitesizeIrish okay i have 2 questions regarding your answer: 1) has gaelic the same problem as british english in that the spelling is stuck in the 14th century whereas the pronunciation changed? or has gaelic always been written in an unnecessarily complicated way that doesn't actually match the letters it uses in pronounciation?
e.g. was "glè mhath" spelled and pronounced like "gle wah" back in the day or more like "gle math"?
if the spelling never matched the pronunciation anyway, why not make the spelling easier? then we wouldnt sacrifice the authenticity of the language.
@@BitesizeIrish thanks for the answer. so the spelling is standardized and logical in its own frame. but is there a standard spoken irish I could stick to while learning?
Siobhan, the video highlights the innate musicality of Irish, the English sounds absolutely flat in comparison. Really well done.
