Celtic Songs - Ba Ba Mo Leanabh (Hush, my little baby)

[@garyb5998]

How many centuries has this been sung to Irelands dieing children... No more... We the Irish 🇮🇪 are not on our knees anymore... Erin go Bragh 💪☘️🇮🇪

[@glenkelly6097]

⁠@innesmacneilyes but the language and struggle are basically the same. We understand each other

[@rossmclaren9886]

It's a Scottish song about the loss of a child during the potato famine, which also affected the Highlands of Scotland. But the sentiment is without a doubt applicable to the suffering of our Irish kin across the north channel.

Kiss from Brazil, beautiful girl promess gaelic music, i lovely you sing whit @juliefowlis beatiful voice. Many talent congragulatin. Your voice come pice. Ceòl agus Anan .

[@nathenewendzel7806]

This isn't a lullaby. It's a song of a mother mourning the loss of a child.

[@1earflapping]

An example of a perfect match between voice and melody.

[@sabinelower1524]

Sie singt wie ein Engel, zauberhaft. Vielen Dank, dafür. 🤗

[@rachelzacrep2968]

Glè àlainn! I notice this song shares lines with the version of Griogal Chridhe that I know. I am so inspired to find these songs connect. What a majestic tapestry of song and story. Mòran taing!

[@jofftalbot1348]

Stunning. What a piece 🙏🏼🌈

[@ibfubar]

[@justin.morgan71]

So very beautiful… Thank you!

[@CelticSongs]

Our pleasure!

[@donaldmcbride2297]

@@CelticSongs The tune almost sounds like a variant of "Ae Fond Kiss."

[@robertgalloway3771]

This song is about the murder /execution of young Mac GREGOR, that took place at Taymouth Castle in Perthshire in front of her family and in the company of her baby. At the moment an American Company D.L.C.want to uses this as a gated community for the very rich. it is for the people of Scotland,(our land) A lament!!

[@-RONNIE]

The vocals were good as well as all the musicians but together was really great 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 A lot of people wouldn't know this song but I'm glad you all made this video. Thank you

[@CelticSongs]

Couldn't agree more!

This lass from Eilean Loedhas Misha Nic Phearson one of many beautiful Gaidhlig Singers

[@jonoxthomascito6516]

Being of Irish Scottish deceit I imagine many a banshee sprite have sang a similar song. I’ve actually been screamed at by two different banshees from afar One actually did it a week before my dad almost died from a falling tree and I yelled at him I was worried about why they came to see me and I was on guard because I know they are morning spirits some vengeful but some come to warn you of danger as a guardian

[@liambyrne591]

Great story ,did they come to you in your dreams or were you awake I wonder why they come to some

[@s.terris9537]

Such a sad story from history. Put to music in a song, it says that terrorism has been with us for a long time. May all minds be cleansed of such cruelty, and throw away notions of acting on fear and hate.

[@jonathan3752]

Wonderful!

[@CelticSongs]

Many thanks!

[@mcgregorpiper]

Different tune and lyrics, but the situation reminds me of Griogal Cridhe

[@navigator5426]

😊❤❤❤❤❤❤.

[@BreninCyhyr]

Those lyrics got dark really quick.

[@CelticSongs]

Consider, for example, the first verse of Rockabye Baby, which ends with a baby falling out of a tree. Like the original versions of most fairy tales, there’s a dark undercurrent in a quite a few of the traditional songs we sing to our children. And the urge to soothe babies with creepy songs is apparently found almost everywhere.

[@1earflapping]

@@CelticSongs Yes, you are right. Although I’d still argue that Baby in his cradle falling from a tree isn’t in the same league of dark as Baby with his head atop a post, near his headless body.

[@herahforenden7607]

I don't think that the song spoke about a baby literally, but about people that was executed and martyred.

[@seanwhaling6499]

Who is the singer?
