Bean Dubh a' Ghleanna

Bean Dubh a' Ghleanna
(The Dark Woman of the Glen)
Tá bó agam ar a' sliabh agus táim le seal 'na diaidh
ó chailleas mo chiall le nuachar.
Á seoladh soir is siar ins gach áit 'na ngabhann an ghrian,
nó go dtéann sí siar um thráthnóna.
'S nuair a dh'fhéachaim fhéin anonn san áit 'na mbíodh mo rún,
titeann ó m' shúil' sruth deora.
'Sa Rí Ghil na nGrást, go bhfóirir ar mo chás
mar 'sí an bhean dubh ón ngleann do bhreoigh mé.
Bean dubh a' ghleanna, an bhean dubh do b'fhearra;
An bhean ba dheise gáire.
A grua mar an sneachta 'sa píb mar an eala
'Sa com seang, singil, álainn.
Níl ógánach cailce ó Bhleá Cliath go Gaillimh;
ná as siúd go Tuaim Uí Mheára;
Ná fuil ag triall is ag tarraingt ar eachaibh donna deasa;
ag tnúth leis an mbean dubh álainn.
Gheobhainnse bean sa Mhumhain, triúr ban i Laighin,
Is bean ón Rí geal Seoirse.
Bean na lúbaí buí a d'fháiscfeadh mé lena croí,
Bean is dhá mhíle bó léi.
Iníon óg an Iarla thá go tinn, dubhach, diacrach
Ná d'iarraidh mé d'fháilt le pósadh.
Ach dá bhfaighinnse féin mo rogha de mhnáibh óga, deasa an domhain;
'Sí an bhean dubh ón ngleann do thógfainn.
Vocals: Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh

Dia dhuit; tá tú go maith ach go maith, ach go maith. Tá a fhios agat, is Iodáilis mé, bhain mé céim amach i ngiotáir i mBaile Átha Cliath, ó bhí Gaeilge ag mo bhean. Ní labhraím Gàidhlig mórán. Déanaimis é seo: múineann tú Gaeilge cheart dom, agus múinim Iodáilis cheart; le chéile déanfaimid taifead Italo-Celtic a thaifeadadh. Cad a cheapann tú? Cuir in iúl dom. Le barróg ó Fhlórans.

Bíonn mil ar luachair ann ’gus im ar uachtar. No greater pleasure than listening to the voices of the angelic creatures, except maybe going down the boreen with the donkeys

I don't understand a word, but it still sent chills up my back. WOW!!

One of the great things about Celtic and most traditional music(s) is that there is such a wide range of styles, vocals, instruments and cultural and character history included in them, that there's always more to discover, and always more to develop. Here it is a Sunday morning in November 2020 and I am hearing Muireann for the first time, out here in western Canada, on the Internet. She has a very rich and expressive voice and obviously cares deeply for the stories and music in her many KZbin videos. This is stunning music and a great voice in great performance. Great location for a video backdrop too! I wish I could understand the language, but I don't, yet through a great vocalist, I'm getting clarity of mood and concern, and the music has a very good feel, there's a profound story going on, that's for sure. Stay healthy folks, 2021 will be better for everyone!
