@@maidhci As you probably know, he adored the work of Seán O'Riada, Ceoltóirí Chualann and Cór Chúil Aodha. I knew Shane quite well from the mid 1990s. I was a fan long before that. I remember when the film "Mise Éire" was released on DVD about 20 years ago. I bumped into Shane in Dublin. He had a bag with recently purchased CDs and DVDs. He was excited at the prospect of going home and watching his new "Mise Éire" DVD.
Not for the first time, this and other songs in Irish have made me long to learn about the ancestors who came to the U.S. in the first half of the 19th century, changed their last name, and refused to speak about what they'd been through.
Maidchí. Love this version of this song. My dad died two weeks ago and this was sung at his funeral with Séan O Liathain as the lead. Powerful stuff. Maith thú. Majella
My gallant darlin’. Long live Bonnie Prince Charlie! Our clan Fraser of Southern California fought many a re enactment battle upon the fields of Riverside county, muskets blazing, targes held high and broadswords gleaming, pipes blaring.
✨✨THE AMAZING CHOIR AT SHANE MCGOWANS FUNERAL✨✨ You boys were incredible… i was at the church and made it my mission to find you. The song, the singers, the crowd singing along, in Gaelic, with tears in their eyes, I’m so honoured to have witnessed this truly breathtaking rendition, it will live with me forever… Thank you so much 😢 Ps. Where do you sing, where can we hear you again?
Beautiful rendition isn't it? These are the original lyrics. Just gorgeous. I want this played at my funeral. And I'm going under the knife 🗡 tomorrow. So that's a big IF I shouldn't survive. Hopefully my family and friends will think I've earned it.
@@nploda1408 Hey Good luck my friend, don’t worry you got this, you’re coming back for sure. Thinking of you today, God bless and keep you always xxxx🙏xxxx
Hi Esmeralda, thank you for the beautiful comments, the Cór (Choir) sings every Sunday morning at mass in the Church in Cúil Aodha, Co. Cork. It was a true privilege to sing at Shane MacGowan's funeral.
@maidhci Thank you so much for the information my friend lives in Cork and she was also very touched by the the amazing choir, I will, we will for sure be coming to see you God bless you all xxx

Loved this, O'Neill in Texas 1 generation. No Irish, please explain to us what this is, in English please. I speak 4 languages, not ignorant, just never taught Irish.
@@madden150-Prince Charles Edward Stuart sailed from France in 1745, where he was in exile with his father after parliament installed the German King George I(who spoke no English and was Protestant), planted his banner at Glenfinnan, Scotland, raised a small army of loyal Catholic Highland clans( the last medieval army in Europe) in the name of the House of Stuart and marched south toward London to reclaim the British throne. The “Young Chevalier,” at age 23, cut a dashing figure. 6:34 With some Irish volunteers, they won the battle of Falkirk and Prestonpans, and the German king’s family were packing to leave. They lost the final battle at Culloden and the young Charles fled Scotland back to Europe where he passed away. This song was a lament by the “goddess” of Ireland for the prince. 6:34
Never heard this before. I like it. Sounds like a cross between Mairhi's Wedding, Will Ye No Come Back Again, and one of John Bell's hymn settings of Celtic tunes. For those of us that don't have the Gaelic, can we have more information please?
@@RacingwoIfthe Irish fought for Bonnie Prince Charlie because he was a Stuart and a Catholic. That's one reason why they fought for him. We Irish Catholic folk were treated like absolute garbage by the Brits, who were Anglican (aka Church of England). Henry the 8th just straight up declared his own religion and forced conversion on his subjects. It was illegal to practice Catholicism for a long while. We had to keep it on the way down low, underground. Held mass late at at night, legit marriages performed in secret. We even made single decade rosaries that could be hidden very readily.
English is the language of the world. Celtic is limited. The Irish people know English is the useful language. My grandparents immigrated to CANADA in 1922. They were from Derry.
This video 36 years old.. 😢. I think I recognised a couple of these faces at Shane MacGowan's funeral today.. Ye did a great job guys.. Well done! 👏👏👏
It was an absolute privilege to be there to sing and be a part of that send off for Shane.
Weren't they amazing at the funeral? I saw it on the live stream and TV.

One of the most beautiful languages out there. Very natural.
The steady heartbeat of Ireland. Gets straight through to my soul.

Hello Helen how are you. Greetings from Ireland. This is a wonderful rendition of an old Irish song. Wish you a great week 👍🙏😊 Michael
Proud to be Irish! (South African/American) All the same!
I've heard many renditions of this classic but this is my favorite. It's earthy and heartfelt. It's Irish soul. What a treat.
The original and the best!
Well said. Same here, I just love this song and how it is sung by so many great voices.
Mine too! I want this played at my funeral. If my friends and family think I've earned it.
I love the version done by choral scholars of dublin
They're always perfect. They do the Parting Glass and I weep everytime. What I like about this is the earthiness.@@ATLmodK
Authentic and simply beautiful 🇮🇪🇮🇪
Beautiful music and beautiful language! Thank you for bringing this Irish music and language to us!

Maidchi. I knew Diarmuid, taken far too young. This is beautiful
Diarmuid was my teacher. Passage West in the 60ts. If we behaved he sang all day. Great man
What a cheerful looking lot .
Utterly brilliant
He does a great job with his big horn. Gorgeous ❤❤❤
Brilliant

Irish lament for the defeat of Bonny Prince Charlie in 1745. Irish troops fought for him at the Battle of Culloden
HOW MANY.
@@duncancallumThe Irish troops were ….. “the last unit to leave the field “ ..

An ode to Bonnie Prince Charlie basically who we (Catholic Irish) supported.

Is aoibheann liom Gaeilge Mhúscraí.
Only 3% Irish, and don't speak Gaelic, but this is great!
Are you the little kid? Is the guy playing the harpsichord your dad? You look very similar.

Hi Louise, not a bad summary here on Wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo_Ghile_Mear
@@maidhci thanks.
Iu
It's Irish not Scots Gaelic
@@marcphelan9883 Gaelic is a perfectly acceptable term for Irish, just because you and I don't use it, doesn't mean others don't.
a translation for this amazing song would be great from the Irish gaelic to English ! go raibh maith agut !
Isn't this the same tune as "Trasna na dtonnta"?
Y a-t-il quelque part une traduction en français de ces mots déchirants?
Go h-iontach ar fad.
Sorry Duncan. Can't tell you that. Obviously, not enough

It is a Scottish lament for Bonnie Prince Charlie.
No an Irjsh lament for an a Scottish prince whom died in battle, as far as I know an Irish arm were trying to save him. As far as I know.
