After doing our best not to fall asleep we decided to have a little play at the back of our living room before we went to bed.

Couldn't agree more. They still have what we have ignored and show us with heart and soul the way to rediscover it. Love from France.☘🎻🎶😊

This is so moving, I´ve watched 10 times in a row. I came to this Irish song reading The Islandman book based in the Blasket Islands. In fact, the way you play the song, it would suit a film of the book if it was ever made. Thank you, all!

Also check out Liam Clancy's version. He does this song in Gaelic several times: in a duet with Tommy Makem during the Clancy/Makem days(with Tommy on the whistle); in a 2002 live performance at Mooney's Pub in Waterford; and in his last performance in 2008 called "Live at The Bitter End" (a club in NY City).

@gerald4013 3 жыл бұрын

Awesome, but it's not the real title, the real title is in Irish "Ar Éirinn ní neosfainn cé hí", and "For Ireland I'd Not Tell Her Name" is the English translation (well actually it's "For Ireland I wouldn't say who she is").

@SamsonJames 3 жыл бұрын

That's interesting! I knew of the Irish title but not of the more direct translation. In fact, let me just add the Gaeilge into the tags.
