LCaoineadh na dTrí Muire (The Lament of the Three Marys) - iarla O Lionaird

[@DerbhilleMacrory-ki6ju]

we carried our father into the chapel to this he died on A Good Friday my heart bleeds every time i listen to this beautiful lament my father was a proud irish gentleman ♥️😭

[@mjm4ut]

I saw this guy sing in the movie Brooklyn. What a voice!

[@michellelarkin2877]

Eed to get a little on my way home from work tomorrow and Thursday

[@georgio101]

There's not a religious bone in my body, but the image of Mary finding her son on the cross always crushes me. My heart goes out to parents everywhere who have lost a child, or have to see their child suffer. And I think how even when we're grown men, you could be the messiah himself but to a loving mother you never quite stop being her little baby.

[@paddyearly]

Reflect on eternal life🙏 Life can’t be just looked at from a limited perspective of our brief time on earth! Time to focus on the promises of Jesus and seek to live with him eternally🙏 We all have religious inclinations so stop denying them?

[@briarrose5208]

I cannot listen to this…much less try to sing it…without weeping. Beautiful. Thank you.

[@DerbhilleMacrory-ki6ju]

me too we carried out father into the chapel to this beautiful lament he died on a Good Friday a beautiful fitting song to his easter death still heartbroken every time i here

[@anthonylonergan9549]

When you have Mary Black and Steve Cooney in your backing band .....you know you have made it....

[@richgouette]

right??

[@cameronleehorace]

I have totally fell in love with the sounds of Iarla Ó Lionáird. Coaineadh Na Dtrí Muire and Casadh an tsugain are totally lovely songs that transport you to a magical place.

[@jschofield5034]

I stumbled on a concert of Iarla's it was the most sublime concert of my life- he performed alone in front of a set of changing photos of Ireland - magic in Brentford :)

[@maireadheffernan9943]

His voice undoes me every time, it's purity and timbre make the hair on my arms stand up and my scalp tingle

[@kristiannaaguglia2660]

It's strange, but even though I can't understand this song, it makes me feel closer to God than a lot of the songs praising Him in my own language.

[@holdyourwhisht]

An Gaelige!! Yesss!! I love how Iarla's eyebrows move whenever his voice fluctuates. He's got a kick arse voice and he's a brilliant Irish speaker!

[@alexxio8656]

I’ve been noticing it too on other live recordings such an expressive and brilliant voice. Here’s another example kzbin.info/www/bejne/opaqZIufj9KojsU

[@niallmartin9063]

Still amazing in 2019, one for the ages ☘️

[@wolfvillenow]

Tried to comment earlier but ad so loud after this played I could not. I listened to this many years ago and my Scottish soul felt it in my cells. Two and a half (almost) my precious daughter passed and now it parallels my grief. 💞💞

[@edejan]

So beautiful and it's wonderful he's carrying on the tradition of sean nos...which had already been declared dead several times I think. His voice is so emotional, yet lyrical. A wonderful storyteller!

[@supermarkmoo]

It will come back as long as irish people speak their native and ancestorial language

[@nuada123]

The Three Marys' Lament IThe Lament at Calvary) Peter,Apostle, Did you see my fair love? woe is me and woe is me! I saw him a moment ago, get tortured by the guard woe is me and woe is me! Who is that fine man on the cross of Passion? woe is me and woe is me! Do you recognize him,your son, little Mother? woe is me and woe is me! Is that the little son who was nursed at Mary's breast? woe is me and woe is me! Is that the little son who was born in a stable? woe is me and woe is me! Is that the little son whom I carried for three seasons? woe is me and woe is me! Dear little son your mouth and little nose are cut, woe is me and woe is me! Bare nails were put through his feet, and through his hands, woe is me and woe is me! A spear was put through his lovely breast. woe is me and woe is me! Caoineadh na dTrí Muire A Pheadair, a Aspail, An bhfaca tú mo ghrá geal? Óch óchón agus óchón-ó! Chonaic mé ar ball é, gabh chéasadh ag an ngarda. Óch óchón agus óchón-ó! Cé hé an fear breá sin Ar Chrann na mPáise? Óch óchón agus óchón-ó! An é n-aithníonn tú Do Mhac, a Mháthrín? Óch óchón agus óchón-ó! An é sin an Maicín? A hoileadh in ucht Mháire? Óch óchón agus óchón-ó! An é sin an Maicín? A rugadh insan stábla? Óch óchón agus óchón-ó! An é sin an Maicín? A d’iompair mé trí ráithe? Óch óchón agus óchón-ó! A Mhicín mhúirneach, Tá do bhéal ‘s do shróinín gearrtha, Óchón agus óchón-ó! Cuireadh tairní maola trína chosa ‘s trína lámha, Óch óchón agus óchón-ó! Cuireadh an tsleá trína bhrollach álainn. Óch óchón agus óchón-ó! Óch óchón agus óchón-ó The power of this song is it's simplicity: a mother's love,no greater power on Earth.

Vyechnaya pamyat (Eternal memory). I had not heard till just now. Since you are an Orthodox brother or sister, please pray for the Church in America - we are struggling over here to develop the Orthodox Church to provide our faithful with the means to reach our beloved Christ.

[@hempenasphalt1587]

I am from America, I got baptised last week here in Ireland, becoming Orthodox. Glory to God, He is working in the world. ❤️

What a fine, clear voice this man has. I can't understand a word of the language, and I'm still getting the emotion of it. -jcr

[@anare4333]

I don' t understand any single verse of what he sings. But, anyway, I feel the emotion of this song. And how strong it is! What a voice of this young man! Congratulations to this beautiful group. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷 🇮🇪

[@spider-manjiujitsu9814]

Been learning the Irish Gaelic Language. And came across this beautiful story. The language shows more beauty than English ever could. Keep the Faith. One of my favorite now!

[@michaelwalsh2498]

This song, Caoineadh na dTrí Muire, was introduced to the wider world by the premier sean nos singer of our time from Áird Thoir, Carna, Connemara----Seosamh Ó hÉanaí (Joe Heaney) b. 1920 d. 1983. His version recorded on a Topic album from the early 1960's is unsurpassed.

[@lunaxoxoi4079]

[@padraicfallon]

Stunning, the most beautiful male irish voice alive!

[@Kiki-lk9xy]

It is organised by music teachers on a school by school basis these days, dependent on student participation. And since Irish was recognised as an EU language it has seen a resurgence, with colleges teaching it across the world. There are gaeltachts in Canada, Russia, Denmark and some Slavic countries. But it's largest rise has been in Northern Ireland.

[@Kobzar3374]

Sublime. Thank you for sharing.

[@Feon83]

very beautifull.i love irish music so much.

[@unseelie63]

So beautiful,so moving.What a wonderful voice he has.So expressive. .

[@seirbeach]

I almost cried, amhrán fíor álainn. Thank god (or ramdomchancehappenstance) for the beautiful gaelic language (irish and scottish). Ní dóigh liom,gur eirigh leis an fear taobh le Mary Black srian a chuir ar na deora. Iarla Ó Lionard is a great artist, thanks for posting tomtsscotland!

[@Nuiceltico]

Throughout Ireland these sacred songs were felt to function both as prayers and as direct substitutes for the caoineadh ('keening', women's funeral lament) which was suppressed by the Church. There were also triple aspects to the previous Celtic deities.

[@paulmurphy4028]

Bullshit

[@coralfish68]

The best voice ever!

[@KevinCaseyVA]

I first heard him singing with Afro-Celt in the late 1990's, and have followed his career since. I got to see him sing with the Gloaming in Richmond, VA, standing about 10' away. Transcendent!

[@chrismarlowe1564]

As a lament, it carries to much passion -- I kenna understand Celt-talk, but it certainly is lyrical. Thanks for exposing me to this music and feeling.

[@mara235]

Joe John Ridge did a version of this ,it was recorded on RTE - He is a wonderful person who has visited our Irish Language group multiple times to share his gift of song, along with the poet Jackie Mac Donncha - lovely artists as Gaeilge. Beannachtai - God Bless!

[@anthonyshenigo7736]

Excellently performed, I love this song.

Found out larla sang lead on Altus Silva song from the Big Blue Ball Alubum and looked him up to see what his other songs were like. I'm glad I did. This guy is fantastic. Can,t understand a word of Galic but the passion comes thru.

The most touching version of this Gaelic Irish song I have ever heard. If you know what this song is about it makes it even more moving.... a mother looking for her dying son.

I know Iarla is from Cuil Aodh, West Cork, but this version was made famous by the late Seosamh ui Heanai from Carna, Connemara.

[@seangrogan3622]

Apart from the title, I would never have guessed that this was a song about Jesus Christ, but there you go, the truth permeates all cultures and languages.

To see lyrics - click more top right. If these are not 100% then Google "Caoineadh na dTrí Muire". No matter if you understand the words or not - the beauty and spiritual aspects are still conveyed.

Chuala me caoineadh na dtrí Muire í Maam, ar cnoic i Chonanama, bhí me a suiloid le mo clann, teinn dhaoine suas go dtí seipéil beag ansin i gcoír na cásca, bhú slua maith ann. Bhí se ag chur baísteach an t-ám a fad, ach rinne a fear a bhí a chanadh job iontach. Deanann Iarla job iontach freisin, a leagan is fearr fós i mo thuairam
