Luke Kelly-(The Bonny) Shoals Of Herring-Lyrics

[@davidj.winter6782]

The greatest singer singing the greatest song.

[@VoxGothica]

Luke Kelly had one of the greatest male voices in the history of recorded music. Just an incredibly powerful, versatile singer.

[@MrGaberlunzie1]

There has never been anyone and probably never will be anyone who gives such outstanding renditions of Ewan Mc Coll's work. RIP Luke!!

[@simmo303]

Try Robin Hey.

[@birgitconrad4893]

Luke Kelly's voice raises me up everytime, it is like magic having such a wonderful voice and expression. God bless Luke. I am so happy to be able to hear him whenever I want. Regards to all other fans of great Luke Kelly.

[@PaulMann8666]

Ewan sang his own song grandly. But Luke had the voice of the gods. What a gift these men were.

[@childofthe60s100]

Beautiful song - yes BUT ……..THAT VOICE!!!! The VERY best version of this song ever recorded.

Wonderful Song A Tribute To All The Hardy Fishermen From The British Isles And Around The World!🤗🚢🎣🇬🇧🇮🇪

[@ellenphilomena4535]

True a tribute to them all, but Ireland is not a British Isle. Pay respect to all all us Gaels too.

[@daisypeters3216]

How the beautiful voice, my boy, dearLuke. I miss you very much. You 're the best of the best. I think many people think same the thing...💖💖💖👍☘🇮🇪

[@tomjeffersonwasright2288]

I've fished long lining swordfish, shrimped, beach seined, and caught sharks. Somehow, Luke catches the mood of it all, not just the words, but the spirit. He is one of a kind.

[@jurvanderveen3467]

Real heroes never dies, Luke was such a brillant Singer, now, 34 years after his dead his songs are still heard all over the world. That makes him immortual and one of the greatest singers of the history. Although I cannot understand all of it, I listen to his songs every day and makes me melancholy

[@goofy79248]

Thanks for Lettin’ me know that i dó luckly knew/Knów the Dubliners since about 1981/2! Because a therapist of those days made me aware of that Greát Irish Folk. Later on i got to know of Many Musicians more!! Among them Silly Wizard_Andy M_Stewart & the ether guys of that Band. Also i deed encounter? Planxty. There’s so much more Great Folk!!

I fished for almost 40 years! This is brilliant!

[@IanRussell1947]

sgtcrab1 Thank you my friend. Great song by a great singer.

[@patsyod]

Luke's voice is so good, listening to him when I was a lad I did not realise just what a treasure I was listening to. I sing this song whenever the "clans" get together but could never even begin to compare to Luke's vocals.

[@michaeleldridge5224]

I'm Scottish and Irish and I love this song and this is the best veraion

[@user-bq3ch1ps8q]

i think its an english song aswell so your hitting the trifecta

[@MrGaberlunzie1]

@@user-bq3ch1ps8q It was written by a Scottish songwriter, the great Ewan Mc Coll. He also wrote Dirty Old Town.

Luke Kelly's soul is so strong that shines over us. My catalan translation of his song, with love. Els Bells Bancs d'Arengades. Amb xarxes i aparells érem en l’esquerp i feréstec oceà, és allà, ben endins on trobem i collim el pa, tot pescant les belles arengades. Era un formós jorn i també plaent Yarmouth enllà jo anava fent, grumet n’era en un veler de pesca. Seguíem els bells bancs d’arengades. A coberta ja ets un pescador: pots jurar i has d’aguantar ferm. Pren torn per l’aguait junt amb els companys tot encalçant els bancs d’arengades. Ara fèiem Swarth i el Broken Bank; feia de cuiner i em tocava un quart i era ben sovint que dormia dret mentre atrapàvem bancs d’arengades. Vam deixar la llar en el mes de Juny i a Canny Shields ara ja ens trobàvem, amb cent coves plens de peixos d’argent que havíem fet aplegant arengades. Amb forts temporals i mars abrivats, per a guanyar el pa és que ara lluitem, des de Dover Straits a les illes Faroe; anem empaitant les arengades. Em vaig guanyar el plat i també el camí i l’equip de feina que vestia; milles navegant i mil.lions de peixos; tot seguint els bancs d’arengades. Mosso de corda ets, sempre en moviment, aprens un munt sobre navegació; són serrells d’ofici en tasques a mar, tot caçant bells bancs d’arengades. Dia i nit el mar és repte. Amb calma, vent o forts vents d’hivern; fred o suor, creixent, envellint, morint… tot caçant bells bancs d’arengades.

Bella traducción, María. Gracies

With our nets and gear we're faring On the wild and wasteful ocean It's out there on the deep We harvest and reap our bread As we hunt the bonny shoals of herring Oh, it was a fine and a pleasant day Out of Yarmouth harbour I was faring As a cabin boy, on a sailing lugger We were following the shoals of herring Now you're up on deck, you're a fisherman You can swear and show a manly bearing Take a turn on watch with the other fellers As you're hunting for the shoals of herring Now we fished the Sward and the Broken Bank I was cook and I'd a quarter sharing And I used to sleep standing on me feet As we hunted for the shoals of herring We left the home grounds in the month of June And for canny Shields we soon were bearing With a hundred cran of the silver darlings That we'd taken from the shoals of herring In the stormy seas and the living gales Just to earn your daily bread you're faring From the Dover Straits to the Faroe Islands And you're hunting for the shoals of herring Well, I earned me keep and I paid me way And I earned the gear that I was wearing Sailed a million miles, caught ten million fishes We were hunting after shoals of herring You're net-ropeman now, boy you're on the move And you're learning all about sea-faring That's your education, scraps of navigation As you hunt the bonny shoals of herring Night and day, the seas we're daring Come wind or calm or winter gale Sweating or cold, growing up, growing old Or dying As you hunt the bonny shoals of herring

[@sverrirorvarsverrisson3046]

My favorite part of icelandic lyrics to this song Lagst var miðin á landið allt um kring: undir Jökli, útaf Gerpi og Skaga. Oft var dreginn þá afli býsna vænn á kútter Sigurfara forðum daga. Gegnum veðrafár, gegnum manndrápssjó alltaf slapp hann, - það var segin saga. Ekkert vissu menn annað eins happa skip og kútter Sigurfara forðum daga.

[@MrKorton]

Hvað heitir lagið í íslensku?

[@Mediumdave1983]

The land was targeted all around: under Jökli, out of Gerpi and Skaga. Often the force was pulled quite nicely cutter Sigurfara of old days. Through storms, through murderous seas he always escaped, - that was the story. People didn't know anything else like an unlucky ship cutter Sigurfara of old days.
