The little arrogant lout travelled, And poteen attended on a table by him, Requesting drink for a party, To put them all stumbling about. On his coming home by Tuir Road, And poteen attended on a cord by him The container fell on its bottom on a flagstone And thus the drink went astray.

He beat his palms torturously then, and said "I am ruined forever by that, On a fruitless visit I am now, Without fame, without name, without vessel. Chorus The sound of donkeys was the music they had Sediments of the mess drunk as punch, Uproar at the despicable boastful people And aren't they but "was it getting late?" Dirty Sheila was the cook they had And stolen goat's meat being roasted on a spit, That you'd get a rotten smell on her which is in her skin for three months. Chorus The group went off early like that And they didn't have a horse or coach But they were in a fuss for marriage And them going to Killarney. The priest met them on the road And them he greeted pleasantly and shrewdly "Go home and build a house An put your horses to stable" Chorus In fact, Father, you [we] shouldn't do that And it's not likely we'll take your clever advice But come beside a wall and a porch with us And we'll get a full quarter-pint for you. The greatest anger came into his cheeks "I'll not go beside a wall or a porch with you, But get your old hag and your choice man and I will marry them at the bottom of the street.
sweet voice, just listened to Nell (Ni Chróinín) and Mick Flannery sing this great song "Shanagolden" by Sean McCarthy. He was from Listowel in Co Kerry, home of many poets, playwrights and composers too. This is one of my favourite songs.
@Eric Owens That line basically says that they were 'wanting beer to drink, to make them drunk'. I'm not sure what 'staraibh' in itself means, just that it is a plural noun in the old dative case that has almost disappeared in modern Irish.
Absolutely beautiful and no instruments, a stunning performance thanks
Do ghluais an bathlach beag tóstalach,

Chun iad a chuir ar na starraibh.

Gan chlú, gan ainm, gan árthach.

Would an Irish speaker be so kind as to please tell me what staraibh means?
@Eric Owens That line basically says that they were 'wanting beer to drink, to make them drunk'. I'm not sure what 'staraibh' in itself means, just that it is a plural noun in the old dative case that has almost disappeared in modern Irish.

Thanks for the info!
3 RUC "men" watched this video...
What a beautiful voice, she should be on X Factor
+D10123669 You're dead right. What she needs is a bit mentoring from Louis and she'll be a grand wee singer.
+Ze Drexciyan Forget Louis. She'd win the way she is
+Callum Bundy i was being sarcastic. i dont think she go near x factor
Why would she lower herself
