A gradh ghil bi pairteach liom fhein Is go hairithe da mbeidir liom scriobh Beinn ag gaire le ban-chnois na gcraobh Da bhfaighinn airithe o eine ce hi Nil a cairde ro-shasta liom fhein Cun arus a dheanamh na tias Ach ma tha si d'reir raite mo bheal Ni nair dom a leamh duit ce hi
Carol Gardner That Must have been a very, very deel Love i presume! I tot to know Them and Him a little late in live. But i’m very Lucky to know His voice and Play nowadays. I met the Irish folk in the early eighties, still with Luke!! I’ve seen and heard Him twice, lucky guy i was!!
Thank Mr Clancy, for many afternoons of boyhood inspiration, for providing the soundtrack to my courting of Mairead, though I usurped you on occasions, my wanderings across craggy country with my donkey Rainbow, and for reflecting what Irishness is for me: courage, open-spiritedness and hefty portions of well-watered craic. It is not possible for me to point my brogues in the footprints of such greatness, but I warble in your name and feel good about it.
i often listened to songs in New Zealand about the loss of indigenous languages .I had emigarated there during the troubles but now i appreciate the impact of that loss
Ross Boyce I play a Bb flat set of Uilleann pipes, which being lower pitched means I can sing the Gaelic words to my accompaniment as well. A truly great great song.
Last eve as I wandered quiet near To the border's of my little farm A beautiful maiden appeared Whose loveliness caused my heart's harm By her daring and love smitten sour And the words from her sweet lips that came To meet her I raced the field o'er But for Ireland I'd not tell her name If this beauty but my words would heed The words that I speak would be true I'd help her in every need And indeed all her work I would do To win one fond kiss from my love I'd read her romances of fame Her champion I daily would prove But for Ireland I'd not tell her name There's a beautiful stately young maid At the nearing of my little farm She's welcoming kind unafraid Her smile is both childlike and warm Her gold hair in masses that grows Like amber and sheen is that same And the bloom in her cheeks like the rose But for Ireland I'd not tell her name
Bob Dylan said he was the greatest ballad singer of all time. His music will never die
One of our most beautiful songs sung, and played by a wonderful native of Carrick On Suir. R. I. P. Liam.
Just started to listen to Liam Clancy and found his music excellent including Band Played Waltzing Matilda better than the Dubliners
Yes yes and yes
A beautiful voice and beautiful song, sung in a beautiful language.
Liam was a true gent and a great legend of Ireland I am so glad to has lived in his time bless him.
In New Zealand we could only listen to the records...but every kiwi has an Irish grannie and the blood is still strong....
Lorna Keane good bless
I believe these are the lyrics:
Areir 's me 'g tearnnamh ar neoin
Ar a' dtaobh eile 'en teora seo thios
Do thaobhnaigh an speirbhean im chomhair
Dfhaig taomanac, breote, lag tinn
Le haon ghean da mein is da clo
Da breithre 's da beol tanai binn
Do leimeas fe dhein dul 'na treo
Is ar Eireann ni neosainn ce hi.
A gradh ghil bi pairteach liom fhein
Is go hairithe da mbeidir liom scriobh
Beinn ag gaire le ban-chnois na gcraobh
Da bhfaighinn airithe o eine ce hi
Nil a cairde ro-shasta liom fhein
Cun arus a dheanamh na tias
Ach ma tha si d'reir raite mo bheal
Ni nair dom a leamh duit ce hi
Go raibh maith agut
I keep coming back to this again and again. Its such a masterful and heartfelt performance.
The old Master's last tour methinks, a voice and 'touch' that was a gift from the gods.

In Bronx in 1960' with a Co Cork girl still love you john From Galway
I've been in love with Liam Clancy for at least 40 years. Used to see the boys in concert in Chicago in the late 60's and early 70's

Such a beautiful rendition of this song, Liam was such a master story teller and songsmith. Sorely missed by the world
Most beautiful song performed by the greatest.
i need to have a chat to whoever disliked this
Its so unfair that some people are so talented, and the rest of us clueless. :-))
Liam Clancy absolute legend.
A wonderful song ,sung with such feeling...a classic.

Love this , liam clancy a great irishman....
Never tire of listening to him and his beautiful voice
It's real simple. When he sings a sad song you feel sad, when he sings a joyful song you feel joy. What more does a great performer need than that?
There will NEVER be another like Liam.
I was very surprised to hear Liam play an English Concertina, to accompany himself on this beautiful Gaelic song. He makes a great job of it. R.I.P.
Mate could you please tell me where Can I get the translated lyrics of this?? I don't know any Gaelige.....
Foggy Dew it’s a track called “For Ireland I’ll not tell her name” made popular by the wolfetones
Perfect in every way..... RIP LIAM... and buiochas.

This brings tears to my eyes. Sung with so much feeling. This is a classic.

How can he be gone? Thank you, Liam!
The most beautiful singer ever 🇮🇪
The best, of the best.
superb.
Absolutely beautiful, what a tune and song. ❤❤❤
Always from the heart,beautiful
Very beautiful! I've been playing this song on the alto recorder and I love it.
What can I say !!! Just a legend !!
Beautiful
What a fucking legend.
The people in that room at that time probably didn’t realise how lucky they were…. In the presence of greatness.
Not true …..it was by invitation only. One of the best night of my life. I flew in from California to see the show.
The Maestro 🇮🇪
This reminds me so much of me Grampa
For Ireland I'd not tell her name
Tears
may Liam the bard guide you home.
on ireland i would not know who she was is the translation....
The master
Last eve as I wandered quiet near
To the border's of my little farm
A beautiful maiden appeared
Whose loveliness caused my heart's harm
By her daring and love smitten sour
And the words from her sweet lips that came
To meet her I raced the field o'er
But for Ireland I'd not tell her name
If this beauty but my words would heed
The words that I speak would be true
I'd help her in every need
And indeed all her work I would do
To win one fond kiss from my love
I'd read her romances of fame
Her champion I daily would prove
But for Ireland I'd not tell her name
There's a beautiful stately young maid
At the nearing of my little farm
She's welcoming kind unafraid
Her smile is both childlike and warm
Her gold hair in masses that grows
Like amber and sheen is that same
And the bloom in her cheeks like the rose
But for Ireland I'd not tell her name
Thanks for the translation!
Awww thank you so much.
Beautiful
