  • 'Don't be bold' in Ireland means 'don't be naughty / a back-talking, misbehaving, cocky idiot.' So calling him Bold Doherty isn't really a compliment :)
    naggin (or nagan, or nagin, or however you spell it) is Irish slang for a small bottle of alcoholic spirits, usually 200ml.
    2:06 it may be '... about it in Cant'.
    Shelta (or Cant) is the language spoken by Irish Travellers (the two tinkers). It is widely known as the Cant, to its native speakers in Ireland as De Gammon, and to the linguistic community as Shelta.
    The term tinker traditionally refers to a group of people who travelled the countryside supplying, making and repairing goods made of tin. Tinkers tended to pursue an itinerant lifestyle, not remaining in any one place for too long, but moving from place to place to undertake work.
    Performed by Dervish
    Album: Midsummer's Night (1999)

    I fell into a traditional Gaelic music rabbit hole this past week, and I don't regret it at all. I'm American, but my great grandmother on my mom's side was Welsh and my grandmother on the same side's last name was McConnell, so this gives me a very strange sense of nostalgia almost. Makes me really want to learn Irish or Scottish Gaelic, and hearken back to the part of my heritage I know close to nothing about. Not to mention the musicians are incredibly talented in every piece! Thanks so much for this amazing music!

      I understand.
      My great grand dad was born in Ireland and brought here as a baby.
      He sang what I though was a magical faery language... it was Gaeilge, I now know.
      I'm Learning Irish with Duolingo's app, and using traditional music and awesome TH-cam videos to get as familiar as I possibly can, because it makes me want to never mutter Béarla (English) again...it's such a displeasing language, compared to Gaeilge.

      @@shy8311 well no, the song is not trad, it's folk.. written by this band I believe. They never mention sleeping with another woman. The song talks about buying shoes, mending clothes, watching men fight, not bringing "fanciables" home, that could be a fancy man, met on the town. They then mention they can find lodging with Nora, who might be her friend. I assumed the song was about a wild woman, sung by a woman, and I think it's really great. Maybe it's about a guy, but why not get into the fight if so, and not just watch.

A bold man would have left the clogs for the mother to fix, went down and fought in the pub, and would have got in a fight with his dad at the end of the song, and the mum wouldn't have thought it was ever a sin to throw a boy out. I mean can you imagine a man shouting at the house "let me in mum, if you don't I will go have sex with Nora", he would already be living with Nora. However a woman, shouting to be let in or she will be off, unmarried, single, living with another single woman she knows. Would be a lot more bold, and a bit less pathetic.
