Ó Dheara, 'Sheanduine / O Yerra, Old Man
Comhairle a fuaireasa amuigh ar an mbóthar
Ó rógaire sagairt an seanduine a phósadh
Ach ba chuma leis siúd ach go méadóinn a phóca
Is go mbeinn fad a mhairfinn ag brath ar na comharsainn
Curfá (Tar éis gach bhéarsa):
Ó dheara 'sheanduine, leatsa ní gheobhadsa
Ó dheara 'sheanduine, loscadh is dó ort
Ó dheara 'sheanduine, leatsa ní gheobhadsa
Is dá mbeinnse i mbéal dorais ná beirimse beo ort
Chuasa go Corcaigh ag triall ar ghléas tórraimh
Píopaí tobac agus cláracha comhrann
Ar mo theacht dom abhaile go tinn tuirseach brónach
Cá bhfaighinnse mo 'sheanduine ach ag róstadh muicfheola
Dá bhfaighinnse mo 'sheanduine báite i bpoll móna
A chosa bheith briste is a chnámha a bheith leonta
Do thabharfainn abhaile é is do dhéanfainn é a thórramh
Is do shiúllóinn amach leis na buachaillí óga
Má phósainn tú an seanduine, pósfaidh tú claidhaire
Fágfaidh sé a bhalcaisí romhat ar a staighre
A déanamh ar maidean beidh sé ag cnáimhseáil le claidhreacht
Is siar sa tráthnóna beidh ag seimint go meidhreach
Phósas an seanduine, is orm bhí díchéille
Dheineas an méid sin ar chomhairle mo ghaolta
Chuas abhaile leis faraoir an scéal sin
Is déiríos ar maidin is bfhearr liom an t-éag liom
Ó dheara 'sheanduine, leatsa ní gheobhadsa
Ó dheara 'sheanduine, loscadh is dó ort
Ó dheara 'sheanduine, leatsa ní gheobhadsa
Is cúpla Domhnach a chuirfidh fén bhfód thú

I love Muireann. I swear her smile is gonna kill me! Beautiful song, beautiful voice.

[@kevinoregan6453]

Peter, I suggest in that case to just close your eyes and listen - only open them when you're ready to go :) Muireann has not just a beautiful voice and presence but also an angelic mastery of the language making it all very real and at the same time mystical.

[@harrymason1053]

Gosh, I love that woman. She reminds me of my Irish mother when she was young and I was a child.

[@neurofire]

She casts a musical spell when she sings - and it dances in your head for hours afterwards - mine anyway.

[@brett5492]

Mine too!!

THE OLD MAN Got an advice out on the road From a rogue of a priest to marry an old man But all he cared for was filling his pocket And that I'd be till I died depending on neighbours (Chorus) O yerra, old man, you're not for me O yerra, old man, may you be scorched and burned O yerra, old man, you're not for me And if I were next door I wouldn't catch you alive I went to Cork to look for arrangements for a wake Pipe, tobacco, and wood for a coffin Coming home, sick, tired and sad Where would I find my old man, but roasting bacon? If I would find my old man drowned in a boghole His legs being broken and his bones in pain, I'd take him home, i'd do a wake And I'd walk out with the young boys If you marry an old man, you'll marry a villain He will leave rags before you on the stairs In the morning he will complain with villainy And in the evening he will be all merry, playing music I married an old man, I was senseless I did that upon advice from my family I went home with him, sad is the story Got up in the morning and I'd rather be dead O yerra, old man, you're not for me O yerra, old man, may you be scorched and burned O yerra, old man, you're not for me And in a couple of sundays I'll put you under the sod.

Thank you so much for the lyrics! It's hard to find translations for some of these tunes.

Sounds so sweet but pure savage

[@memikell]

Exactly the right setting to listen to music like this, how I miss the little coffee houses of the late 50's and early 60's.

[@enantiodromia]

Mrs. Amhlaoibh's voice has changed over the last ten years. The high notes don't come as effortlessly as they did back then, but her singing sounds more mature and emotionally deeper than before.

[@drummerboy1390]

Not a clue what she's singing about, but it doesn't matter. Her voice is spellbinding. Eamon Doorley putting in a good shift too. Always around weaving his magic. This pair were made for each other.

[@TradTG4]

Top class musicians.

[@johnc1975]

For me it does matter what they are singing about since I don't understand Gaeilge, the language of my grandparents, except for hi how are ya etc. Not a language you hear often here in California, and it wasn't offered in high school or I would have taken it.
