In the morning and in the evening.
Thank you so much. My dear mummy used to sing this and it was so poignant because she lost her brother James in a tragic building accident when I was a baby so she sang this lullaby to us with deep emotion
Go raibh míle maith agat! Thank you so much for sharing this for I have no idea what you traditionally learn as children and this is so lovely to see💗
You have such a lovely voice and way about you.
Also, can you add “Mo Ghile Mear” (the version sung by the Choral Scholars of university college Dublin) Go raibh maith agat!
What a lovely song. Reminds me a bit of the Carter Family classic, "Wandering Boy".
Love this! I’d love to see you do:
Tír na nÓg (Celtic Woman)
Téir Abhaile Riú (Celtic Woman)
And Hó Bha In (Celtic Fairy or Róisín Elsafty)
Thanks so much for this, I can’t wait to sing Irish songs to my baby but some words are difficult for me to pronounce without a cousin’s assistance.
I LOOOOVVVVEE this!
Cheers from Indiana
I've known the Deep Peace(Libera) song for the longest, but when I looked it up yesterday, I was like, No WAY! This is a Gaelic Blessing? I'm upset though that I can't Find it Sung in Gaelic on Y/T! Have you ever featured this song's Lyrics?
When I hear it BTW, my vision....you know....gets Blurry. Allergies maybe, NOT Crying!!! < 😄😅😉😊
De Danaan did a fantastic job of this, but the name of the album escapes me, I have it on cassette somewhere.
Can you do a similar video for Mol Ní Mhaoileoin (Molly Malone) if you haven't already?
Am I right to recognise the lovely Kerry accent?
Tipperary!
Hi my mom used to sing a song in Irish, I used to know it off by heart when I was small but can’t remember it now. I wonder whether you could look at that too. As my Irish spelling is awful, I don’t think it would make sense if I wrote it down, I think the English title was “Brigid if the friends”
This is a great video. Thank you!! I learned a lot. I have a question. What's the difference between mo Shéamuisín and tá Séamuisín? It seems like the part of speech leads to the different prefix (or preposition?) and the different version of the diminutive of Seamus. I think it's interesting that the former is pronounced Hamisheen and the latter Shamusheen. Right? I love the song and your explanation and your patient walk-through of the translation. It's very interesting to learn different forms of names, but really the whole song is interesting.
mo means "my", tá is one of the 2 ways of saying "is".
after mo (like 'do' -> 'your' or 'a' -> 'his') the initial consonant of the noun gets an 'h' added. this is called séimhiú. note that after 'a' meaning 'her' this does not occur (for example 'a carr' -> her car, but 'a charr' -> his car). It's an important part of Irish grammar and something you really have to listen out for.
I couldn’t find the Crack Irish Gaelic Pronunciation course on Udemy.com. Is it listed under another name?
I loved your video, and the song looks such lovely one, do you have this song with music instruments?
@@BitesizeIrish That is good. This is also nice to here it preformed with sung vocals and instruments. ua-cam.com/video/YqsH0beonxo/v-deo.html
a gra with you
a song about a farmer who had his rotary mower stolen.
Go hiontach Siobhán! Go raibh maith agat.
Dear God, this is so difficult.
Siobhán, is it common to hear people in Ulster pronounce, Ag dul as, Ag'ul and leaving the "d" out? I know it sounds a bit strange but a lot of people in North say it like that.
Very difficult, indeed !
Is that the Monaghan accent I hear?
Hi I'm looking for an Irish or Gaelic word for a drinking place (like a pub, or stream or oasis), or a drinking vessel (like a cup , tankard or a trough). Anything to do with drinking (preferably associated with alcohol, but not necessarily ) but it the word needs to be short and snappy with one or two syllables. Would be appreciated if you could help.
Bitesize Irish. Hi, thank you for your suggestions. They are what I asked for but none of them quite fit.
A friend of mine has decorated his flat with dragons as a theme running through the place. He also has a large bar as a main feature, and he also has Celtic knot patterned architrave.
So we were having a drink at the bar the other day, and he said that he would like to give the place a name. Obviously the name should have something to do with Dragons. Dragon’s Den would be ideal, however that name’s already been taken by the tv program, and so has a different feel to it.
Because of the Celtic knot patterns and the bar feature, he was thinking of a Gaelic or Irish word associated with a bar or drinks. This is why I enquired.
I thought if I explain the situation in more detail, maybe you could suggest something else.
If not, that’s fine and we’ll just have to have go through the ordeal of having yet more drinks at the bar, in contemplation! The things I’m willing to do for friends eh?!!
Thank you for your reply anyway!
