    Bruach na Carraige Báine
    Nuair a éiríos féin ar maidin go moch
    I bhfad amach sa bhfómhar,
    Cé a chífinn chugam ach stór mo chroí
    Is d’fhéach sí féin go fónta,
    Mar do bhí sí siúd deas dearg is donn
    Is a leacainn mar na rósaí,
    Nuair a fháisceas í go dlúth lem chroí,
    Sé dúirt sí, ‘Cá mbíonn tú id chónaí?’
    As I roved out for to view the plains
    One summer’s morning early,
    Who should I spy but a pretty fair maid,
    And she dressed up so nately,
    Her cherry cheeks and her ruby lips,
    Her eyes would dazzle the daisies,
    When I took this fair maid by the hand
    She said, ‘Young man, go aisy.’
    ‘Mar is treabhdóir mise go fónta ar mo cheird,
    Mar is maith atá a fhios ag am chomharsain,
    Is mó páirc riamh do threabhas-sa féin
    Gan mé bheith tinn ná leonta,
    Do bhainfinn féar in íochtar cnoic,
    Do dhéanfainn cruach nó stáicín,
    Do rincfinn ríl leat, a stór mo chroí,
    Ar bhruach na Carraige Báine.
    ‘I am a ploughboy, the seed for to sow,
    And that being well known to my neighbours,
    ’Tis many’s the field that I have ploughed
    And that without much labour,
    For I’d plough and sow, both reap and mow,
    And I'd gather it into your garden,
    I’d sweep the floor and I’d dance with you
    On the banks of Carraige Báine.’
    ‘Do leathfainn fallaing duitse, a fhir óig,
    Mura mbeadh ann ach leithead cianóige
    Dá mbeadh fhios agam go mbeifeá liom,
    Gan dabht tú féin a b'fhearr liom,
    Ó, gléasaigh suas, a óigfhir léan,
    Is gluais liom fhéin thar sáile,
    Is treabhfaimid na cuanta doimhne
    Ó bhruach na Carraige Báine.’
    ‘I would spread my mantle for you, young man,
    If ’twas only the breadth of a farthing,
    If I thought your mind was as good as your word,
    ’Tis you of course I would rather,
    So wake arise, my labouring boy,
    And come with me in the morning,
    And we will plough the briny waves
    Far far from Carraige Báine.’

    This is an absolutely lovely performance. She is one of my favourite singers. I can’t help but notice that the way it’s been recorded is creating an unusual effect. It sounds like there are two input channels: the direct sound from the vocal mic and then a microphone (or microphones) in the hall to capture the room ambience or reverb. I think that there is compression on the vocal channel but not on the reverb. As a result when she’s singing softer in her lower register we hear the direct sound but not much reverb, but when she sings louder in her upper register the vocal part is compressed and we hear a lot more reverb. When listening carefully, especially on headphones, it sounds like the room she’s in is changing, or that she’s constantly moving closer and further away. This isn’t meant to be a criticism, just an observation. It in no way reduces the beauty of her singing, but it is a little bit distracting when you become aware of it. In any case, thank you for this wonderful video, and please give us more gorgeous singing from Nell in the future!

    Very, very lovely. I got chills. Thank you so much for sharing and thank you so much for singing in English as well. Also for having both (?) sets of lyrics in the video notes.

    • @TradTG4
      @TradTG4  4 роки тому +3

      You're very welcome. This song is what's called a macaronic song, which means that it is bilingual. The song features verses in both Irish and English.

    • @cigh7445
      @cigh7445 4 роки тому +1

      Just so you know Holbytla the English verses aren't direct translations of the Irish verses, in case you are a learner using them for learning.
