When I was younger I used to see people sitting in pubs tapping their foot along to a trad singer and always thought they needed to get a tv or the internet. As my Irish has gotten better and I can understand songs like this without needing to translate anything, I totally get it. Its unlike anything I have heard in English. Close your eyes and sing along in your head and the rhymes of the words, the flow of them, the singing, the meaning, they all flow into one. Its hypnotic. I can understand why the fitzgeralds gave up their language in favour of irish, and why the poets of old were held in such high regard, can only imagine how beautiful some of their poems/songs must have been.

[@simonidastankovic2627]

You are so right.

The woman who is singing is actually talking about a young man who went to France to join the "Irish Brigade" which was a French unit made up of Irishmen who fled to France to join the French Army. During the period of Jacobite Rebellions after the English Civil War, many young rebels from Scotland, Ireland, and Wales traveled to France to join the French Army to fight the English on various battlefields of Europe throughout the early eighteenth Century. the Hanoverian Kings of England (Current British Royal Family) and the English Lords were constantly engaged against Scottish Highlanders, Irish rebels, and most of the common people of Britain who supported the Stuart Kings. Many joined the French Army believing that when Charles Edward Stuart would come of age, that he would return to Britain with a French Army at his back to take back the British Crown. In the final rebellion of 1745 the French sent most of these Irish and Scottish based units to help support the Highland Army. However, during the Battle of Culloden, after a valiant last stand, the Irish regiments were wiped-out completely, with every last man killed by the British Army. Afterward King Louis took no more Irish or Scots into his Army, and gave up helping his nephews gain back the British Throne. It a much more tragic song when you know the fate of the Irish Soldiers who fought in those regiments.

Fyi, "The woman" who sings this is Moya Brennan (Máire Ní Bhraonáin).

It all started when the Roman legions unleashed their pikes on the celtic inhabitants of the British Isles and destroyed the ancient Celtic gods by replacing them with a handful of Roman gods and goddesses.

[@JohnELemmenes]

I have loved traditional Irish music since its revival in the 1970s. It seemed to throb with the pathos of the beleaguered remnant of the Celtic world. I sought out translations of them and realized that often they were of an age so remote that they were full of tales of druidic shape shifting. Sometimes even in translation that Gaelic is entirely metaphor. The largest ethic origin in Wisconsin is Irish. In 1972 I played some of the music for my then aged grandfather. He laughed. He recalled the Irish settlers from the hills above the flatlands along Lake Michigan driving in silence their herds to the pig fair and recalled them drunk as lords singing dancing to the pipes, fiddles and drums on the return trip. He loved it. I heard several generations of Dega and Clanad veterans play at Irish Fest in Milwaukee Wisconsin in 2016 shortly after the death of an uncle a long time member of Clanad. They sang his favorite tune, Harry's Song to Irish harp, fiddle, penny whistle, bodran and the small pipes. It was stunningly beautiful and so heartfelt that much of the audience was in tears. Then it was off to the sports bar on the festival grounds to watch video of the local Hurley club while listening to a trio of musicians playing tunes considerably more stiringly lively than the slow sweet airs I so love. Yet they fit perfectly with the video of a game as much like meley combat as you would want see. Ah the Irish.

[@nbenefiel]

I lived in Dublin most of the 70’s and got to see Clannad many times, along with the other truly great Irish musicians of the time. It was a golden age of Irish music.

[@frankbolger3969]

Amen to that!

[@soraritsuka]

I looked up this song because of the manga "The Girl from the Other Side" and the song makes it so much more tragically beautiful.

[@1stAshaMan]

You should check out the album called "Fairy Dance: Kokia meets Ireland". It's a mix of traditional Irish songs (including this one, Táimse Im Chodladh and Black is the Colour) and some Japanese songs by a Japanese singer.

The members of Clannad are siblings and cousins. They grew up in Gweedore, Co. Donegal in an Irish speaking family. When the Brits outlawed the Irish language ( on pain of death) they had to issue the proclamation in Irish because few people spoke English.

[@voraciousreader3341]

The proof is in live performance, and there wasn’t anything to tell the listener that this even _was_ a live performance, until the very end. Clannad hasn’t been one of my favorite Irish groups, which is something I can’t explain and I won’t attempt to justify. I keep revisiting certain groups from time to time, keeping an open mind. Personal taste is an alchemy in the heart, and if a sound doesn’t fit, it doesn’t, but this song hit whang! In the gold. Beautifully expressed lyrics, tightly played, with difficult, darkly shaded vocal harmonies (my favorite) coming out of nowhere and leaving. Very moving!

[@frenchyman19xx]

Someday, i want to attend college in Ireland and learn the language of my ancestors... My great grandfather was a stowaway on a cargo ship from ireland, and my grandfather still had his irish voice, just a little. I loved him so much, even though I only knew him the first 7 years of my life. His story of his father hiding in an empty rum barrel fascinated me, and Irish culture is beloved among my family. I'm so Irish that my great granda hid in a barrel of alcohol to get to America. Allegedly, he drank what was left in it.
