This song is so achingly beautiful, perfect combination of tune and lyrics, so sad but also shows that we care deeply as human beings

Each time in the West I pay a visit to Crucán na bPáiste. I have only just recently discovered this amazing song so beautifully sung. So evocative of the loneliness and desolation of the story of Crucán na bPáiste and Maamtrasna itself. Míle buíochas Karen

Very moving piece. Did you have burial places for unbaptised babies in Scotland also?

"Never more will I stand...in I reland or Cruan mBaiste" in other words, "screw the Catholic Church for denying my dear one a burial in consecrated ground, simply because she died before being baptized!"

What a song and what a performance, it is hard to match this song and the quality of the music, another seminal moment for transatlantic sessions.

Thank you Aeolus562 for your kind comments. I never heard of this song until I heard Brendan Graham last Sunday. Two years ago, I did an audio-visual survey of 75 ecclesiastical sites in East Cork and I came across a place called Baunanooneeny. When I heard Brendan describe Crucán na bPáiste, I could not believe it, it could have been the same place. I wish I had his words to describe it. All the best Donybye

What an amazing coincidence! Thank you so much for posting this video of such a beautiful and sad song with subtitles and the video you speak of by Brendan Graham. It was a revelation listening to him describe how this song came to and through him! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWivo4yFiJKEoZI

it may help to understand this song if you read the little story written by Patrick Pearse ---Padhraig mac Phiarais---back in the early years of the 20 th century. His short stories are the very best ever written , and this story,"" Eoghainin na n-Ean," ( little Eoin of the birds) is the most beautiful of all, I think it is the world's greatest short story. It was originally written in Irish---Gaelic..

The song is set during the famine in Ireland. People were dying so fast that they had to be buried in mass graves-the children included. But there was a special mass grave just for the little ones. That is what a " crucan na bpaiste" is (burial place of the children) In this song, a young mother grieves the fact she could do nothing to keep her dear little one from dying and wishes she had died as well. Now she vows to leave Ireland forever to the States to try and escape the bitter memories. I hope this helps.
