Dónal agus Mórag is a pretty famous wedding song and there are many different versions in both Irish and Scottish Gaelic. This version by Altan is from Rathlin Island (off the coast of Co. Antrim) the first two verses of which survived the death of the dialect on the Island to be published in Mary Campbell's "Rathlin Stories" (1936). Proinsias Ó Maonaigh, the father of Altan's Mairéad Ní Mhaona...

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...

IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW THIS SONG I know it's a bit... unconventional (and the quality is poor), but it's Ireland's favourite Christmas song, probably ever! The original masterpiece by The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl is literally a classic. Original song: ruclips.net/video/j9jbdgZidu8/видео.html Performed in Irish by Fred McCluskey, Ger Maher & Ailbhe Hession for TG4

'Don't be bold' in Ireland means 'don't be naughty / a back-talking, misbehaving, cocky idiot.' So calling him Bold Doherty isn't really a compliment :) naggin (or nagan, or nagin, or however you spell it) is Irish slang for a small bottle of alcoholic spirits, usually 200ml. 2:06 it may be '... about it in Cant'. Shelta (or Cant) is the language spoken by Irish Travellers (the two tinkers). It...

As the song comes to us, it is the bouncing ballad of a girl too smart for a lecherous sea captain. But a scrap of the ballad hints at something sinister behind the gay recital. For there, the fair maid is either a selkie or a mermaid. Performed by Solas Album: Sunny Spells and Scattered Showers (1997)

This Irish children's song is a bright example of port a' bhéil (mouth music) in other words, a merry nonsense :) A currach is a type of Irish boat with a wooden frame, over which animal skins or hides were once stretched, though now canvas is more usual. Performed by Éilís Kennedy Album: Time to Sail (2001)

The woman of the song returning as a liberator, Gráinne Mhaol (sometimes known as Grace O'Malley) was chieftain of the Ó Máille clan in the west of Ireland. She is a well-known historical figure in 16th-century Irish history, and is sometimes known as 'The Sea Queen of Connacht', one of the most famous female pirates of all time. In a nutshell, in 1578 Gráinne Mhaol (whose name was already pret...

Irish traditional song. Cathy Jordan (lead singer with Dervish) refers to Big Máire / Máire Mhór as 'someone who runs out on the man as soon as the whiskey's gone.' 1:40 it would literally go: 'with nothing on her bráid but the carter's coat.' The word 'bráid' means (in this particular case) neck and breast, bust. That is to say she's not completely naked underneath, she's wearing a low-cut dre...
