  • N.B. Because of the speed, repetitons are omitted (in the English lyrics). They would literally go:
    "I would make my way to the two bottoms, the two bottoms,
    I would make my way to the two bottoms of two barrels" (and so on)
    Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh learnt the song "An Bairille" from the singing of "an Pound" (Seamus Beag Ó Luing), a great storyteller, raconteur, wit and Irish language exponent from Dún Chaoin/Dunquin (a Gaeltacht village in west County Kerry), who passed away in 1975
    Live performance: • Julie Fowlis and Muire...
    The second jig is "Boc Liath Nan Gobhar" (also know as "The Further, The Deeper")
    Performed by: Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh, Julie Fowlis, Éamonn Doorley and Ross Martin
    Album: "Dual" (2008)

    • @jodofe4879
      @jodofe4879 2 роки тому +10

      Irish doesn't really have silent letters. It just uses different combinations of letters to indicate different sounds, whereas some other languages like English use the same single letter to indicate a wide variety of sounds. This is why in Irish you can tell from the way a word is spelled how it is supposed to be pronounced but in English you need to learn the pronunciation and the spelling of a word separately.

Maybe some day if you get a chance visit Ireland during Fleadh Cheoil its then you will see all the musical talent of Ireland from the young to the old.. Not just from Ireland either musicians come from all around the world to play on the streets and pubs..

      As an Irish UA-camr I bid you good day, and am happy to share your appreciation of this beautiful song, masterfully sung, and accompanied by genius tin-whistling and guitar chord changes played by a percussive wizard! The word cúig doesn't soften or alter other words in gaelic so don't bother your head with that stuff! Oh, the song is called an baraile, meaning the barrel; Rocky Road to Dublin by The Dubliners is another mighty tune, I urge you to check it out if you dig this stuff.
