- also known as Cuan Bhéil Inse or Song of the Books, Amhrán na Leabhar is a famous 'traditional epic' written by Kerry poet Tomás Rua Ó Súilleabháin (1785-1848).
Under British rule the Irish language went into decline as it was banned out of public life (schools, courts etc), and children were taught through English.
However, illegal secret schools known as hedge-schools were set up for Catholic children (as a response to the prohibition of Catholic education in the country and the failure of the government - English and Protestant - to provide schools of any sort for the Catholic majority), where children were taught through the Irish language.
Ó Súilleabháin had been acting-schoolmaster in one of these hedge schools at Caherdaniel but was forced to transfer to Portmagee (Co. Kerry) when another schoolmaster was appointed to the permanent position.
As he was leaving, he placed his treasured books for transport on a boat going from Derrynane to Goleen (Góilín, Valentia Harbour), while he himself travelled by road.
The boat struck a rock and was lost, tragically along with the priceless collection of Irish books.
This lonely and desolate lament reflects the despair of those times.
Notes:
- 0:17 Dairbhre (meaning 'The Oak Wood') is just another name for Valentia Island.
- 0:20 The name Portmagee (Magee's Port, as it was formerly known) comes from Captain Theobald Magee, a notorious 18th-century smuggler. Having served in the army of King James as an officer, Magee 'retired' to a life of merchant shipping between France, Portugal and Ireland.Thanks to the many inlets around the South West coast, his trade in contraband spirits, textiles, tea and tobacco was hard to police and therefore very profitable.
- 3:48 the name of the poet, Tomás Rua Ó Súilleabháin, lit. means 'Red Tomás'
- in fact the Irish used is a bit archaic/Munstery, so if you notice any errors please let me know!!!

The more I learn about the loss of Irish as a language, the more I want to learn and preserve it.

No Irish blood but attracted to learn as well.
same
Exactly. I have some Irish blood, not that that entitles me to anything, but I feel connected to the culture and language and want to preserve it and learn about my ancestors society.
God speed to you all
May this breath of beauty survive.
My father strove to keep it alive
As someone with a huge love of languages and with possibly no connections to Ireland, hearing these songs makes me want to learn Irish! There is something immensely beautiful about it! Huge greetings from Mexico, folks 🙌
tengo 3 nietos Irlandeses/Mexicanos y hablo an Gaeilge tambien... todos los mexicanos son conectados con nosotros Irlandeses por"Los San Patricios" (puedes buscarlos en Google ...)
Estamos en la misma situación
¡Buena suerte! Yo estoy estudiando Español, pero yo oído Gaelic es mas difícil.
Mythic Writer . . .look up "Gaelic with Jason". Start with first lesson. He's awesome. He is from Maine and arrived in the western Islands with just his harp and his passion for Gaelic. He teaches Scottish Gaelic. It is beautiful and easier. Also, the BBC scottish Gaelic is fantastic AND duolingo FREE gaelic. Edit: but I must say although duolingo is fantastic and especially because you can touch any word and it repeats it instantly which you need . . It becomes bogged down in spelling. I want to speak gealic not learn the complicated spelling like a scholar. I can learn the spelling . . It has its own rules . . But I don't want to be controlled with each set of duolingo lessons by spelling getting it wrong and doing lesson again just to waste time spelling when I'm not interested. When I'm learning the SPOKEN language. It's a shame
This is exactly me. And maybe you do have a connection- try looking into your family history. :)
I'm french and people often blame us for the many words we spell with silent or useless letters, but this is like boss level!
Still, it is beautiful and dreamy
Irish spelling is actually very logical! You're right though, sometimes vowels are in the word to tell you how to pronounce the following consonant, instead of being there to be pronounced. All vowels in Irish are 'broad' or 'slender' depending on where in the mouth they are pronounced. This affects the consonants after them, so ceol and ceoil ('music' in the nominative and genitive case respectively) have a different 'l' sound at the end.
@@ferncat1397 that's super interesting to know ^^ at least it's a great reason, the extra letters in french don't have any purpose 😬
I always had this complaint against French when trying to learn it--but now that I am learning Irish I think French is pretty tame. As ferncat points out, there is a logic to Irish spelling, but the net effect is still that whole armies of consonants essentially become silent, sometimes.
@@katesay1559 Some of the consonants are dipthongs -- for example, "mh" is actually pronounced "v", as in the Irish name Niamh, pronounced "Neev".
FOR REAL any language from the British isles is like that I think XD
Even if I wasn't reading the English translation, you can just HEAR how sad of a story this song is telling. It's literally heartbreaking
This is a dreadfully sad song... Just imagine: your very own language is banned in your very own country, and then for such an invaluable collection of books preserving said language to be lost forever. Ouch.
And the impact of it is still there, because now this language is dying. I’m a tiny bit English, mostly French and Irish/Breton, but I resent the English bit for what my ancestors did to my culture and tried to do with my other culture...
Celtic Phoenix
Hoooooold up... Why wouldn’t they survive this century?
This language gets really deep into my soul.. and hey guys I bet there will be someone loving and continuing this language, be positive.. besides people shouldn’t resent others for the past, it’s true that is sad but things come and go.. besides the language don’t forget that we are all one race and that is human.. don’t let it blind you.. wish in this century we could be more united and share our values with one another :) wish u all a wonderful life
@Celtic Phoenix Sorry, but what kind of crap is this? Shame on you.
@Celtic Phoenix Who let you out of the nuthouse?
My grandmother told me long ago that there were "those people" who banned Irish Gaelic. She called it the time of Great Sadness. My parents didn't speak it. I'm trying to learn Irish. I might live in America, but I want to preserve as much of my culture as I can for future generations.
demat vreuzer (hello brother in Breton language) you're totally right, preserve your language and your cultur and Celtic cultur is gonna survive one century more

One of my absolute all time favourite songs. It's hauntingly beautiful, even if you can't understand what's being said. I'm extremely grateful I found this channel a while ago. It's allowed me to connect more with Ireland's native culture and has inspired me at least in part to take gaeilge back up in earnest.
You can't speak it because of the events in this song. Tiocfaidh ár lá

I play this to my daughter every evening. Irish will live forever.
Some people might think that playing a song for a child won't accomplish much. My mother used to sing us a song in Irish that she learned as a child from a native speaker and it gave me an early interest in languages and set in my mind that I would like to learn Irish someday. I studied Latin, Ancient Greek, German, French and got a degree in Spanish along the way before I started doing Irish on Duolingo three years ago. Now I have an online Irish tutor and am supporting the Cork economy by shopping at Litriocht--don't know if I will ever become fluent, but it has been a great experience. So you never know what might come eventually from playing a song to your child!
Keep the fire burning Steve.
@@stevewilliamson6416 you're absolutely right ! i am a breton keltic and when i was a kid, i would watch "the secret of kells" on loop. i've always had a keen ear so i learned the words to an irish song one of the characters sang. at this time, i didn't speak english, so i thought i was singing in english. years later, i watched the movie again, and when the song played it struck me and i still knew some of the words, but i realized that this was absolutely not english, so i looked it up out of curiosity. after that, i got a ton of irish songs recommended to me, and i listened to them and fell in love. the rythms and instruments reminded me of breton music that would play while we danced around a bonfire. i started learning a bit of irish here and there, to have a better pronounciation and sing along to the songs. and now, my dream is to work in 2d animation in the same studio that produced the movie that introduced me to irish culture.
A large portion of my blood is irish- and it pains me to see that the language has faded in its native land. A huge dream of mine is to learn the language as I think its so incredibly beautiful and i'd hate to see it die off ever.
God, the Irish language is breathtaking. I’ve always adored it and felt so drawn to it as part of my ancestry. I really want to learn, but it’s slow going. I have a passion for all languages and cultures, but the Irish hold a special place in my heart.
Especcially after the "brave heart".
And this is just 1 style we have many styles of singing Irish all to do with pronunciation and lyrical rhyme along with emphasis on certain letters in certain versions. Spoken Irish dosent flow like this.
I love Irish, and I’m so proud to be Irish. I love speaking Galiec when I can, so songs like this (are basically all the lullabies I had) make me feel so safe
I do not speak a word of this language, but I am in tears by the beauty.
I have played this on my violin for almost 60 years.I love its transformative mirth and incredibly transfixing melodies and bouyancies.I have always found it secretly winking at the true language being traditionally, not written, and experience of generations were more than just the logos.
It inspires innovation from ancient capacities .😊
a keening song for books of a struggling language, sang in said language beautifully.. truly gorgeous.. i hope one day i can learn enough irish to write my own songs in it and sing it.
I lived in Ireland for a while when I was high school student and I was fortunate enough to have been placed in a host family with roots in Donegal, so they taught me some Irish. I have forgotten most of it unfortunately but I‘d love to learn this beautiful language. I play the neo Celtic harp as well, so I‘d love to be able to sing Irish songs. My heart feels deeply connected to this land and its people. Celtic blood yes, Irish no
I grew up in south of France and I studied in an Occitan school. This language, that was once spoken in all south of France is now poorly known and used because it was prohibited in schools and in the countryside... My school taught me to be proud of my culture and to love where I come from. I wish I could spread these values one day like my teachers did with me. I'm really sensible to what happened to the Irish and Scottish culture and I wish one day I could go there to learn and listen these beautiful languages. Thank you for sharing these songs ❤
Who else but the Irish write a lament to the loss of books in a shipwreck! I know this as an instrumental - it is a haunting melody, and the story of the shipwreck and loss of books is always told when it is played.
I admire you and thank you! I discovered your channel a year ago and fell in love with Irish culture and language. It’s not easy to learn Irish since I’m from Slovakia but these beautiful songs keep reminding me to continue trying and I just feel truly happy singing these mesmerizing melodies. So thank you for enabling me and the others to see the beauty of your culture :)
What a nice song.
I find it really hard to find this kind of music but your channel ist the perfect source. Thank you :D
i’m so happy gaelic is on duolingo. very excited to learn it. i find the irish language cool and bc you don’t hear about anyone learning it, that motivates me even more.
Enchanting.. her voice is beyond beautiful.. love this
This is Scary
Just came across your channel while researching songs from Leabhar Mór na nAmhrán. Thank you for your work, it's an amazing resource.
The beautiful language of my great grandfather dying with him saddens me greatly... I want to learn it and keep it alive. My grandfather would've probably loved it if i learn it. Irish films and music always stuck with me more than others. And the sound of the language just makes me feel something. I don't know what it is. I just feel like someone's giving me a hug and telling me this is where my family came from. I hope Ireland can start to care about learning gaelic again. I know it has made a comeback in recent years, but it's probably the most beautiful language i have ever studied. I want to know more than a few words.
Why so few likes? Such a beautiful song. What a beautiful voice! I have played this on my fiddle for decades.
Какая красивая, душевная песня! 💓💓 Можно слушать бесконечно.
I think the saddest part is that likely no one thinks in this language anymore. Internal dialogue I think is important. That's the true destruction of a language, when a childs first words are no longer in their native tounge, it is a devastating and angering thought.
This song breaks my heart for the volumes lost. I love my books... I'll never send anything by sea!!!😥
Cada vez que escucho el gaélico escocés o irlandés me gusta más. Pura magia. Un saludo desde España
I live for your uploads!!!! I don't understand any of the languages but there is such a lot of feeling in them and I only have to listen to them with my heart 💓
I even started learning Gaelic and a little Irish just so I can get the gist of these songs. So thank you for the translations and thank you for the uploads!!!
Absolutely beautiful song. Love songs like this sung in their native language. Native language should Always be preserved
I wish Welsh had such beautiful homages to the attempted eradication of the language, though at least we can thank Gwen Llian for the mabinogion.
I'm seeing lots of Irish Celtic and Scottish Gaelic songs here on UA-cam, but hardly any Welsh, old English, or Pict songs unfortunately...
The British Isles have a long and storied past, with many groups of people inhabiting it over the years...
I'm not Irish, I'm Scottish and Norwegian. I live in America, as each side immigrated in the 1880s and 1890s, and neither side bothered to pass the languages down. My great grandfather passed in 1983, he was born in 1912 and spoke fluent Norwegian. It died with him.
I am torn over which languages to learn, as I want to pass them to my children when they come. My heart says to reintroduce Norwegian into the family, but I'm in love with the Scottish and Irish Gaelic languages, and they're the ones that are endangered...
I could learn all, but only one can make it to be taught in time. ❤
Why didnt he teach it?
Gaelic and Irish are very similar. Twofer one!
@@basmalasaad3039 He didn't think it was very important to teach. He passed in the early 1980s.
The reference to the Captain "go m'fhearide an tír a sheasamh seal....srl"
is stating (I think) that it would have been to have been better for him to have remained on land until auspices were more favourable.
Thanks so much for this beautiful rendition and translation.
From the duff man glad to say my dogs still live God bless you go Irish
I love the names of the countries in your language, sung.
I believe.
Loving a language through learning the musical historical songs, brings the sharing, giving of a beautiful way.
No wonder your culture and the others I have heard in their beautiful songs give me a new love in my heart for your language, your culture, your land, and your people.
As I see and hear your beautiful way. Strong Irish, Faith of Your Fathers.
I can't say where my ancestors before my great grandparents came from exactly, (French, definitely), but I can know by their own beautiful way. Spanish American, now in New Mexico, USA 🇺🇸 [Spanish American, mostly out West and North and Southwest, USA, is like the Creole, from Louisiana, USA, in the ancestory (not as much Black, or Black American ancestry), however, today both Spanish American and Creole added ancestry is as unknown to me].
Wow so glad i happened on this, absolutely beautiful & being Irish I feel bad having to read the subtitles, sad yet superb song ☺
An bhrónach, ach tá sé an alainn ar fad, maith thú is míle maith agat freisin.
this makes shivering my soul, soooo beautiful, what a great language and what a brilliant song, thank you sooooooo much
Thank you for uploading this! I don’t speak Irish but as a kid I sang it and had to phonetically translate it listening to this Eilis Kennedy version. She has a gorgeous voice.
I get emotional about Ireland. It’s the most beautiful mystical cold yet warm place in the world. I’d be happy in a Gaeltacht fishing village.
So painful, my heart hurts!
What a WONDERFUL teaching tool. Thank You!
Celtic in the best sense of the word, if there is any bad sense of that word at all. Thank you for sharing, keep up the good work, and warm greetings from Spain!
Beautiful
My Celtic heritage is kicking in, dear do I love this language, it is hauntingly beautiful
Am trying to recover my irish and am doing it by learning songs
the more I learn of how the Celtics lost their language including Cornwall I become sadder and wish to protect my cornish heritage.
The whole of Britain spoke Celtic languages, they survived in the various forms after the Roman invasion and where spoken by the population until the Saxon invasion, the Saxon invasion was a well fought fight but what happened afterwords was a genocide, which Morden dna is showing, that story was never in any English text book, u are part of the survivors, and retained part of your culture, like the Manx, welsh
im scottish and around 1% speak a language once commonplace. im making it my mission to learn gaidhlig (scottish gaelic). it's so sad how much the english once tried to take our culture, our language, anglicise our names. be proud of your heritage!
Irish are Gaels
Love this song, listen to it all the time. Wonderful
This is one of the most amazing things I have ever heard, incredible
I’ve finally had a chance to listen to this song and I think it’s very sad but lovely.
Merveilheux ! C’est une balade ecosaise comme je me souvients depouis longtemps ♥️
Her voice is so pretty!
Why is it I cry while hearing the soul of Gaelic songs?
You are not alone. I have no celtic blood, I'm Mexican but I feel so deeply touched by this music and the language.
They fought like warrior poets, they fought like scotsmen and in the end they gained ... freedom
A beautiful piece of words, music and singing ! 👍
If only there was a way to let these people know that it was not all in vain ... that they know that the Irishman is not dead, but slowly, as in a meadow still frozen by the raw winter of past bullying, slowly begins to sprout.
And like an expanse of shamrocks and heather, the desire and knowledge of this language will grow in the hearts of all those who have ties to Ireland.
It's a beautifull language!
Très beau et super mélancolique.
Take a headphones,
Close your eyes,
Open your mind,
Enjoy,
One of the most beautiful song i listen on my life.
😍😍😍😍😍
Most beautiful song!
here in cornwall our language isn't even used and were the only ones who speak it ;-;
A song about 📚? 😃😄😆 As a bibliophile I like this song already even though I haven’t even listened to it yet.
read the description
Madeline Hero I already did the same time I commented.
It's SOOOO sad.
Wonderful sound.
What a beautiful voice
The Irish I this song is what I was taught in school Munster Irish and I find it very easy to listen to
It's really cool to see linguistic similarities to other languages - I'm unfamiliar with most languages, but I spotted at least a few French and English words! I wonder when/where/how these certain words came to be, who picked it up from whom or what the common linguistic ancestor words were. Learning the history and how to speak Gaeilge or Scots Gaelic is one of my bucket list dreams.
@@deanmccullough5099 this is all so cool!! I wish there were courses about this at my uni... Going on Wikipedia deep dives in the meantime, haha. Thank you very much for your response - I've edited my original comment (hopefully correctly) to reflect your advice. :)
@@deanmccullough5099 Thanks a lot for these informations! For a french guy who have irish ancestors, it's gold
Would like to speak this wonderful language, listening this song is priceless, it touches the soul!
@@deanmccullough5099 how is it wrong?
Gaedhilge is Irish
Gáedhlig is Scottish
Gaelic is a word in english and can be used to refer to any of the two.
@@deanmccullough5099 Go traidisiúnta, creidtear gur teanga amháin í an Ghaelainn, agus gur canúintí Gaelainne is ea iad Gaelainn na hÉireann agus Gaelainn na hAlban. Mar sin, is minic a thugann cainteoirí dúchais "Gaelic" uirthi sa Bhéarla, sa ló athá inniubh ann féin. Nuair a ghoibh na hAlbanaigh anuas go hÉirinn le linn na bPlandálacha, bhí Gaelainn na hAlban ag cuid aca - agus nuair a chuireadar fútha i nGleannta Aontroma, "Gaeil" a thugadar ortha fhéin, agus "Gaelca" a labhradar, nú "Gaelic" i mBéarla. Ar na saoltha so, Béarla a labhraid siad lena chéile ach "Irish" a thugaid siad ortha fhéinig na laethasta so.

De réir ar chuala, ar ao' chuma)
Beautiful and haunting.
Banning language also took place in Scotland where people were put to death by the English for even wearing a kilt and this song speaks for us all who suffered these atrocities.
The mystical, ancient fascination typical of Goidelic Languages. Milder, softer Irish and sharper, rougher Scottish. Adorable
Wow! ❤️🇸🇪🏴

Thank you for posting this beautiful lament. I also loved reading the historical notes on the poem & poet. How many countries are guilty of stealing the language of the indigenous people and depriving them of their histories. What the bleep are they (still) afraid of?

Japanese music calms my mind, but Irish and Celtic music calms the soul.
What a sad song. It's so beautiful. But you can feel the loss.
Although my ancestors were forced out over 400 years ago.. this voice calls through time to me...
There HAS to be more songs sung by Eilis Kennedy out there, right? She sounds beautiful... I wish I could find more!!
Danke für diesem schönen Moment

Im Spanish but I feel BEFORE Roma cibilizacion, I mean part of the celtic culture, wich it was in all Europe and Spain, and always is great to know the Real and ancient celtic music gaélic, that is not what the meinstream people know in the meinstream partes, the Real ancient gaélic culture, even I would like to learn to speak gaélic lenguaje, but is nothing to do with latín and is really difficult to me, so ill keep following your channel

Irish is meant for song and stories, thoughts and ideas that are hard to put into english.
This song sounds like my soul..

Woow..as an outlander fan o just found out why Jaime calls her sassenach..even though I looked up the definition.."an English person" but in gaelic sasana means england thus sassenach
It's the Irish language version of the word 'Saxon'.
Probably the same in Scotch Gaelic.

To the Basque tribe, your language like ours was forbidden. Sad , really insecure sad. A true people and tribe should never fear. They bury us as seeds but we grow to Mighty Oak trees. Teach our children of who we are. Respect from the Celtic Pagans of Eire.

It's a hard thing to do. I know because I've tried. People are still living with the aftermath. Depression and addiction is the norm. And the politics are as stagnant as ever. The real heartbreak of exile is the deep down knowledge that there's no going back. We live in a place that is neither here nor there. We become unreachable.

At 3:38, the word feirmeoir is translated as husbandman instead of farmer - is this an interpretation relating to the husbandry/caretaking of the land & livestock that a farmer would undertake (poetic licence using more flowery descriptions), or does the word feirmeoir have additional levels of meaning? I don't recall hearing of this before, so I'm curious :)
