Seamus Ennis-An Poc Ar Buile

[@username9175]

I never noticed the Dubliners were in the background. I can see Ciaran, Ronnie, John and Barney. No Luke though

[@afkbrb123]

I think his Irish must be very pure. He sounds like the monolingual Irish speakers interviewed in the 70s. The old speakers make sounds that I don't hear from modern ones.

[@DuineDenFhine15]

Yeah it’s sad isn’t it, many new speakers nowadays don’t take the time to learn the native sounds

[@loafheader]

The irish language differs in pronunciation depending on the area of ireland

[@AdhamhSaomar]

@@loafheader Regardless of dialectal variation he's correct. Many people learning the language nowadays omit learning the phonology and focus nearly entirely on grammar, resulting in a sort of pidgin language with Irish words pronounced as if they were in English.

[@herecomeseveryone7562]

Ennis was born in Dublin & wasn't raised speaking Irish in the house. He was taught it later in life by a family friend. Seems a bit weird to simply equate "makes sounds" with "PURE"

[@afkbrb123]

@@herecomeseveryone7562 Info from where? "Séamus’ education began at the Holy Faith Convent in Glasnevin and Belvedere College and he went on to attend the all-Irish schools at Scoil Cholm Cille and Colaiste Mhuire. This gave him a good grounding in the Irish language, which he later developed to the full during his travels around Ireland collecting songs, tunes and stories." Now use your ears and compare what you hear in this and with native Irish speakers to a highschool student or new learner of the language.

[@edejan]

I don't care how old-fashioned this is, I can't stop coming back here! Seamus Ennis just sings this with such gusto and such fun! I just love it.

[@johnnotrealname8168]

Sounds Arabian strangely. The musical style is also reminiscent of such songs.

Sad to think that most in this video have passed on to their reward. Lovely tune.

Beautiful song in a beautiful language and sung beautifully. Pure Class. Go raibh maith agat.

Irish Gaelic is a beautiful language!!!!

[@emilywhitfield2780]

He has a beautiful voice

[@williefinn4932]

ennis had charisma. i recall he captivated a huge audience in miltown malbay during willie week in the 1970`s for over 2 hours. you could hear a pin drop when he came on stage. a piper`s piper...he had it all.

[@DFoon]

Watching Ennis on TV was like watching a visitor from another dimension informing us on how music could be more closely aligned with elementals like Water, Air, and Bacon Grease. Wholesome Kudos to the uploader.

[@EK-rx2ju]

LMAO

[@pekkapikkuinen6896]

Yes, the most important element of all: Bacon grease

[@HIBERNIAN04]

One of the best renditions by Seamus Ennis of this clasic song

[@deise32]

This whole programme is fantastic. Lets hope it never gets taken off. A room full of what were to become superstars of Irish music just sittin around doin what they do best!

[@samdaly1986]

why don't we have this on TV any more?? we all love reeling in the years but nobody seems to know about all the good music...

[@roryobrien4401]

It's actually a very funny song. Check out the English "translation".

[@nicnaimhin2978]

@samdaly 1986 Indeed - Why?

[@uilleannaddict]

I never knew Seamus Ennis sang! Great video! What a wonderful musician was he.

[@timcrowley4777]

[@michaelpattison8543]

Ag gabháil dom sior chun Droichead Uí Mhóradha, Píce im dhóid 's mé ag dul i meithil, Cé casfaí orm i gcuma ceoidh, Ach pocán crón is é ar buile. Curfá: Ailliliú, puilliliú, ailliliú tá an puc ar buile! Ailliliú, puilliliú, ailliliú tá an puc ar buile! Do ritheamar trasna trí ruillógach, Is do ghluais an comhrac ar fud na muinge, Is treascairt do bhfuair sé sna turtóga, Chuas ina ainneoin ina dhrom le fuinneamh. Curfá Níor fhág sé carraig go raibh scót ann, Ná gur rith le fórsa chun mé a mhilleadh, S'Ansan sea do cháith sé an léim ba mhó, Le fána mhór na Faille Bríce. Curfá Bhí garda mór i mBaile an Róistigh, Is bhailigh fórsa chun sinn a chlipeadh, Do bhuail sé rop dá adhairc sa tóin ann, S'dá bhríste nua do dhein sé giobail. Curfá I nDaingean Uí Chúis le haghaidh an tráthnóna, Bhí an sagart paróiste amach 'nár gcoinnibh, Is é dúirt gurbh é an diabhal ba Dhóigh leis, A ghaibh an treo ar phocán buile. Curfá FacebookTwitterEmail As I set out with me pike in hand, To Dromore town to join a meithil, Who should I meet but a tan puck goat, And he's roaring mad in ferocious mettle. Chorus: Aill-il-lu puill-il-iu - Aill-il-lu it's the mad puck goat. Aill-il-lu puill-il-iu - Aill-il-lu it's the mad puck goat. He chased me over bush and weed, And thru the bog the running proceeded, 'Til he caught his horns in a clump of gorse, And on his back I jumped unheeded. Chorus He did not leave a rock that had a passage through, Which he did not run with force to destroy me, And then he gave the greatest leap, To the big slope of Faille Bríce. Chorus When the sergeant stood in Rochestown, With a force of guards to apprehend us, The goat he tore his trousers down, And made rags of his breeches and new suspenders. Chorus In Dingle Town the next afternoon, The parish priest addressed the meeting, And swore it was The Devil himself, He'd seen riding on the poc ar buile. Chorus songsinirish.com/an-poc-ar-buile/

[@woodenpudden]

There's a prob at the end of the first verse. Blajab

[@turnpike01]

A few jars or not,a classic song.

[@aaronbrown8483]

I see several Dubliners; Ciarán on pipes, and Ronnie and Barney laughing together. I think Bob Lynch, who was briefly with the group, sits with the latter two. Has anyone spotted John Sheahan in this video?

[@edejan]

What a great performance! I can see why the Irish Bards of old were so revered! Thanks for posting.

[@DoctorT2010]

There's no way that man is a born and bred Finglas man!!!! Legend!

He was from Finglas at a time when Finglas was little more than a country village, as opposed to the sprawling suburb of Dublin City we know it as today.

[@Siobhan1195]

Interesting! Well, I can definitely see that too! Thanks!

[@clarebannerman]

Séamus Ennis looks as though he had a few jars here. Great old days.

[@Seamus616]

Unreal! Dochreidthe ar fad!

[@_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-]

He also played fiddle, and was actually quite good at it from what I can tell. (I'm a piper, so I wouldn't really know, but...)

[@Section5_CdnIntelService]

Is that one of the Clancys playing guitar to Seamus' left?

[@awsomevidios58]

Makes me sad. Ireland had such riches, unfortunately we exchanged riches for money.

[@arkus1928]

Blame England mate

[@AdhamhSaomar]

@@arkus1928 This was recorded 30 odd years after the founding of the current republic, the British might have helped the degradation of the language but currently it's Irish people working to kill it with the simple act of not learning it. Blaming the British for everything like they're still slapping schoolchildren for speaking the language is part of the problem, you're not a slave, stop acting like it.

This song uses the symbolism of a mad goat to describe how the Irish fought against the British. I prefer the Liam Devalley version though.
