Song of Amergin - Old Irish Celtic Song
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Music and vocals by Farya Faraji. Please note that this isn't reconstructed Irish music from the Old Irish linguistic period, only modern Irish music with an ancient theme. This poem comes down to us from the Irish mythological cycle. Amergin, a bard of the Milesians, invokes the spirit of Ireland using this invocation to part the storm summoned by their enemies, that keeps from reaching the shores of Ireland safely. The invocation works, and they land safely.
The origins of the poem are unknown, we only now that may be the oldest extant piece of poetry from Ireland that has come down to us, and it is believed to be dated from around the early Middle-Ages, perhaps more generously, going back to Late Antiquity.
The pronunciation is not reconstructed Old Irish but instead mimics the readings provided by modern Irish speakers of today. The instrumentation consists of Irish bagpipes, a flute, the Irish harp, and the bodhran drum.
Lyrics in Old Irish:
Am gaeth i m-muir,
Am tond trethan,
Am fuaim mara,
Am dam secht ndirend,
Am séig i n-aill,
Am dér gréne,
Am cain lubai,
Am torc ar gail,
Am he i l-lind,
Am loch i m-maig,
Am brí a ndai,
Am bri danae,
Am bri i fodb fras feochtu,
Am dé delbas do chind codnu,
Coiche nod gleith clochur slébe?
Cia on co tagair aesa éscai?
Cia du i l-laig fuiniud gréne?
English translation:
I am the wind on the sea;
I am the wave of the sea;
I am the bull of seven battles;
I am the eagle on the rock
I am a flash from the sun;
I am the most beautiful of plants;
I am a strong wild boar;
I am a salmon in the water;
I am a lake in the plain;
I am the word of knowledge;
I am the head of the spear in battle;
I am the god that puts fire in the head;
Who spreads light in the gathering on the hills?
Who can tell the ages of the moon?
Who can tell the place where the sun rests?

You should make a traditional cossak song
It technically is a Irish Gaelic song please do more
@@OscarOSullivan , Old Irish is the common ancestor of both Modern Irish and Scottish Gaelic.
@@edwinvanderkooij8713 I know
I hear my Irish ancestors' voices come to life - thank you for this beautiful work, Farya!
pls don't loose irish language, do u speak it?
@sneed4789my family line who has lived in Ireland for 800 years is telling me to tell you that you lost
@thatclonetrooperintheback there was some lad saying somthing
Thank you, Farya. Another gem from the Shahanshah of traditional music.
By the way as someone with a mother who is a fluent irish speaker, some irish speakers still roll the r and pronounce the kh (but only sometimes) in some contexts. But really nice song thank you
Only elderly native speakers
Rolled r has been dropped in irish due to English occupation same for the th sound
@@Ejej-zi4vo The "th" sound disappearing wasn't due to English, it was likely on it's way out by middle Irish prior to the Norman invasion of the island. As for the rolled and tapped r plenty of young second language Irish speakers still use it, the exception would be millennials who tend to speak a pidgin language of sorts mixing Irish and English from my experience.
*Lovely melodies and such a warm sound. Awesome!* ☘
I feel blessed and, at the same time, sad, listening to this music. Blessings for the peace that this music offers you, but also sorrow for the sufferings that this race suffered.
And right after I watched all of your videos about Celtic music. Great song, I love the way you combine your knowledge of historical music and poetry with creative expression, combining both a great musical experience with an informational one. You might be my favorite channel right now.
Greetings to Farya Faraji, who knows a little bit of almost every language in the world!
Ah the music of my ancestors, excellently done sir, always love listening to your music and watching your videos.
Farya is in his celtic phase and I am here for it!!!!
It's awesome. I'm personally hoping for some more Gallic music sometime soon. Need to hear that sweet carnyx in action. Ooh, or imagine a whole symphony of Caesar vs Vercingetorix... oh that would be fantastic.
@@blakeprocter5818 I second this bro.
Nice, I love your music. Always happy to see more Celtic songs too!
i just love your music and your singing no matter the lanuage. thank you for sharing and spreading beauty!
This one succeeded in giving me goosebumps and brought delighted tears to my eyes... Thank you 🙏🏻
Irish bagpipes are called Ùiléann pipes, as a modern donegal gaelic speaker, I understand very little although can grasp the basic sentiment of the piece.
I particularly like the bodhrán as it's played as I believe it should be and not as an accompiant instrument as it is in most modern Irish ballads.
Excellent ballad. I daresay that clairsach harp in both the intro and outro makes life worth living.
Great work Farya! Could I humbly request that you produce more pieces about the music of the Far East, particularly the musics of Maritime Southeast Asia, which have seldom been explored by composers who instead look to Chinese/Japanese/Korean music for such pieces
Nice work sir, it was beautiful. I loved the lyrics. Greetings to all celtic spirits👋🍀
Greetings to you also .
Man it's amazing how you recreate this music
Thank you very much.
This definitely conforms to my idea of what Irish music should sound like, and I like it. Although I guess it should given the description.
This man is a prodigee. besides his godgiven voice, he sings and pronounces every language so well. Some singers don't even bother to study a little bit the phonetics before recording a cover. He's amazing.
Very impressive as always.
A banger as always. I wish you'd make a Belarusian-themed song someday. Our culture doesn't get much representation, but it's absolutely worth exploring.
I imagine being Belarusian you're already familiar. But just in case you aren't, Stary Olsa (Стары Ольса), are an incredible folk band from your country. In particular their trio of albums Litvins' Treasures: Middle Ages, Litvins' Treasures: Renaissance, and their absolute masterpiece that is Heroic Epos. They perform both creative and historical re-creations of music from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (and a bit of Middle Ages Poland too). Their version of Baharodzica (they have two, the one off Heroic Epos is the stronger recording) stands as one of the most powerful sounding pieces of folk music I have ever heard. Such an underrated folk group.
Thanks for the recommendation! I'm familiar with their songs and admire them a lot. It comes as a surprise that foreigners are into Belarusian music. Wishing you luck discovering our culture!
Extremely beautiful and harmonic
My hopes of someday seeing a Clontarf 1014 Symphony keep growing!
Absolutely mind-blowing as always Farya Dadash 😊
But I am eagerly waiting for an epic symphony on the Battle of Hormozdgan, 224 AD.
Hermoso 🥰
Ah Faraji, the other other day I get French Briton, now Irish? 😩😩 I’m in heaven
Bretons Are Not French
Just today came across a recomendation of Avram avinu, and what a good surprise. I have been in medieval recreation groups since the pandemic and let me tell you, what you do is so antique yet fresh... im completely invested!!
I love the way God is portrayed in this poem, it has something so deeply natural yet mystical into it. ❤❤ absolutely amazing!!!
Loves from Chile❤
Wow, this song tugs on my heart strings. Nice work!
Nice, thanks!
on a ROLL with celtic songs.
Wow 👏 you are lovely!
Ever since I read Morgan Llyewelyn's novel Bard years ago, I've been trying to find a version of this song. Thanks my dude.
What magnificent flag!❤❤❤👏👏👏👏
I've noticed a trend of Celtic music I hope you'll do some Celtic Scottish music. Either way truly fantastic music i love your style and you are very clearly talented :)
My Question: Scottish People Is Irish Because Scott Term Is Ireland In Medieval Age, And Modern Scotland Is Descendants Of Irish And Pictish People, Scottish History Is New And Origin Is Ireland, Scottish People Accept Ancestors Is Irish People Or Pictish People?
@@raggie1778What we now call Scottish, in my opinion, is the combination of the Pictish, Gaidhlig and Scots cultures in the modern day area of Caledonia. These three groups intermixed with each other and created the modern day Scottish nation and culture. The Gaelic people came from Ireland and played a pivotal role in formenting Scottish culture such as with scots Gaidhlig.
@@CaledonianGaisgeach Picts Is Old Groups In Modern Scotland And Goidelic Is Irish People, The Three Group United By Modern Scots (Picts,Gaidhlig, And Scots) And Scots Is A Old Tribe Of Modern Scotland? Or Scots Is United Form Of Goidelic (Irish) And Pictish People? And What Is Gaidhlig? Gaidhlig Is A Pict Or Irish?.
@@CaledonianGaisgeach And Caledonians Is A Celtic Group?
@@CaledonianGaisgeach My Question: Scot Term Is Call Old Scot Tribe? Or Call Scot Tribe And Modern Day Scottish People? I'm Reading Wikipedia And Wikipedia Call Scotland Is A Latin Means Of Ireland In Medieval Times, Scot Term Is Old Celtic Tribe In Modern Day Scotland?
farya faraji never fails to deliver! hoping for another polish song one day 🙏
Мужик, как же ты хорош
Thank you so much!!!
Dang, you’re really on a Celtic kick!
As an Irish lad this is very very inline with trad music very nice massive props

Now it's my favourite celtic music😍
Beautifully done Farya . Slainte and Sallam to you.
Been a while since I've seen your material, not coming up on my fred as frequently as it used to again. But its lovely to see you revisiting Celtic music again. I really love this one specifically, ive hot several people to show.
I hope this makes its way to Spotify as well!
One thinks Old Irish Celtic Song of Amergin is very nice.
Hi, can you make the song Albulena?A Albanian song. I really love your content. The way you make the videos and how the melodies and lyrics are always matched perfectly, keep going!
Was Albanians Is Illyrian Or Celtic Tribe (Albanoii) Or Albanian Is Albanian?
@@raggie1778 Its said that we Albanians are the descendants of the Illyrians.
The Albanoi were a Illyrian tribe that used to live in what is know the Central part of Albania.
@@imperatoralbanie7668 Ok, Albanoi Is Illyrian Tribe? Why Celtic Tribe's Name Is Albanoi? And Celt Invasion Of Balkans Is A Historic Invasion, Why Albanians Is Not Descendants Of Celtic Albanoi Tribe? Alba Is Name Of Scotland And Old Celtic Tribe (Not Scot Tribe And Alba Is Not Same), Albanoi Is Illyrian Or Celtic Tribe? Because Names Is Parallel, Albanoi Name Is Celtic And "Albanian" People Is Genetically Illyrian?
Bro please make a song Justinian the great. I suggest that you must also make a song on the Roman Emporer Aurelien.
Absolutely beautiful!
I love Irish Kultur
☝️❤️🙏
I have an album-on cassette tape- by an artist called Joe O'Donnell. It's a mixture of Irish and Arabic music. The album is called "Gaodhals Vision". I got it because it features Rory Gallagher on a couple of tracks. It's a fantastic mix and this music reminds me of it.
Rory was the best .
Make from north irish and irish one Nation🙏
?
As part of the UK, yes.
Norn Ireland is a very difficult and challenging situation as the unemployment rate and many other factors (im not pointing fingers at who caused this, but it's likely to have been the governing body and it's security forces). Basically, the 6 counties are a liability for any government and its citizens. In the Northern Irish constitution it states that should the majority vote in a referendum would decide who they wanted to belong to but I believe there is now a Catholic voting majority, which is partly due to the restrictions put on loyalist governments gerrymandering. This would mean that a referendum should be triggered for a vote, but as you can see, nobody's calling for it??? Is it too expensive for the ROI to be whole again, or are they waiting for the UK to fix it before returning it. I will be surprised if it happens in my lifetime. The 6 counties have never been part of the ROI and its been hundreds of years since it was part of an independent Ireland 🇮🇪 .
I'm glad I don't have to sort it out it's a hot mess politically and a real challenge socially ☘️

For a Middle easterner, your voice is something you're always welcome in Ireland my friend
Would you make an Afghan Tajik or Pashtun folk song
Hey! Other countries know we exist!
nice
Interesante
it would be awesome if you did an assyrian song
💚
Is this really your voice? Nice job❤
This song is also breathing modern Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic.
This is old gealic before Scott's gaelic came
One of the oldest peices of writing we found in Ireland
POV: You are Mount and Blade player
Beautiful song Faraji. Is it correct tio refer to old irish as gaelic also? I know a music project called Celtic Folkweave that has a lot of folk songs in gaelic, but they are scotish, does that also aply to irish?
Absolutely yeah. In a linguistic context, Gaelic means that which pertains to the Goidelic languages, which is one of the two categories of Insular Celtic languages. Scottish and Irish are both Goidelic, hence Gaelic languages.
Irish person, and Irish speaker here.
The vast majority of Irish people don't use the word gaelic anymore (with the exception of older people and people from ulster). You will be torn alive online for using the word gaelic when referring to Irish (especially on facebook).
It went out of usage from about the 1950's onwards.
Old Irish is referred to as 'Old irish' or sean-gaeilge, not typically old gaelic.
Gaelic is more synonymous with scots-gaelic nowadays (but that itself started out as Irish). It can be used for either of the three (Irish,Manx and scottish) but it isn't in wide usage for Irish outside of the diaspora.
You might have missed the point of what I said. Irish is not referred to as Gaelic anymore, but it is entirely correct to refer to it as a Gaelic language. Not calling the language itself Gaelic, but calling its linguistic category Gaelic.
Good music! Could you tell where can we listen this in HQ(320 kbps)?
hey farya been some while since some turkic-mongol music, or something like marko kraljevic
Danae means knowledge in Persian as well 😐🤘 cool
Great!
Could you add something Caucasian? It would be great to meet Lezgian theme on your channel!
Was Lezgians Is Turkic? Or Native People?
@@raggie1778 Lezgins are Caucasians, not Turkic
@@user-hi8qt6rq4b Ok, All Native Peoples Accept Old Pantheon Term, What Is Lezgian Pantheon And Gods And Goddesses?
Please do a Welsh song, there are so many.

M: My mom's grandfather immigrated to America from Tyrone, Northern protestant Ireland. Orange was their color. Green was the Catholics.
Thanks for that, very useful information 👍
County Tyrone has a majority Catholic population and never had a majority Protestant population, it’s a green country
