[@crisprofa]

The author's musical intelligence and sensitivity to the messages found at Sapanta, as expression of the pastoral Romanian culture, created an hymn dedicated to mothers and motherhood! Rita Connolly's voice is exceptional as was in the concert as well. Congratulations for this success!

It took me a couple of minutes to realise she was singing in Roamanian. At first i thought it was as Gaeilge and I was trying to understand it... very good rendition of Romanian, I must say, go raibh maith agaibh !

Dumnezeu este cu noi....altfel nu ne-ar fi fost dat sa auzim muzica si versurile acestea...

[@ClauB1985]

Here i rest , Stan Ileana is my name , thirty eight years i lived, // In this world i lived ,six coocons i gave birth //without mother they raised and, so pitty i was of them// orphans they remained // the little one in my arms i held her // and i left her alive ,the little one, in my arms i held her

[@3wL7]

"coocons" - "children" "six children I gave birth"

I love this record, one of my best purchases. If death is the right way to Heaven, then the cimeterries should all be merry, should n't they ?

[@kaluklanu]

Where did you manage to buy this record? Can you point to a link, please ?

[@antoineturuban3914]

@@kaluklanu I think you can easily find the CD by Tara Records in Dublin. Most of the compositions by Shaun Davey and Rita Connolly are printed there. And besides both are very famous, almost national Irish characters.

amazing ... only heard of this place recently.. hope to visit that cemetery someday. great voices and great tombstones and stories of the occupants beneath

[@MissAnna75]

wonderful ! Multumesc.....a fost o iniziativa minunata. Au trebuit ca strainii sa vina sa pretuiasca si sa dea importanta ce marita "Cimitirului vesel" Bravo lor

[@3wL7]

So beautiful!

[@PETRU1958]

In the cemetery God speaks directly to us ... These music are dialogues sung with God, for our souls ascending Golgotha (or Calvary) ... God, please watch over our souls on the way up!

[@smara89]

Wellcome to Romania!

[@antoineturuban3914]

This merry cemetery was not merry at all. Some pieces are very sad, but the music fits very well with the epitaphs written on the graves... Wonderful.

Vocile din Cimitirul Vesel: Stan Ileana Aici mă odihnesc Stan Ileană mă numesc, am trăit treişopt de ani. Pe lume cât am trăit şase coconi am avut. Fără mamă au crescut şi milă mi-a fost de ele. C-o rămas orfane iele.Cea mai mic-o ţâneam în braţă. Ş-am lăsat-o în viaţă cea mai mic-o tîneam în braţe, tîneam în braţe.

[@instructor8759]

"AICI MĂ ODIHNESC STAN ILEANA MĂ NUMESC AM TRĂIT 37 ANI PE LUME CÎT AM TRĂIT ȘASĂ CUCOANE AM AVUT FĂRĂ MAMĂ AU CRESCUT ȘI MILĂ MIA FOST DE ELE AU RĂMAS ORFANE ELE CEA MAI MICĂ ȚÎN ÎN BRAȚĂ ȘAM LĂSATO ÎN VIAȚĂ CEA MAI MICĂ ȚÎN ÎN BRAȚĂ ȚÎN ÎN BRAȚĂ" (capitalized as the text carved on the cross).

Uau...ce fain suna!..incredibil! Agreed to richardhalo there ....losing the common sense of tradition and simple beauty is, and has been happening in Ro. for some time now...it is realistically ...sad!

[@ionteszter6840]

A very moving piece! Pronunciation still needs working on. (When Romanians sing in English, they do a much better job.) Romanians should stop lamenting about how only the foreigners care. Educated Romanians, of which there are still a great many left, care more. Corruption and incompetence at various levels, though, make things difficult at times, indeed.

[@3wL7]

Chiar nu cred ca trebuie criticata, dimpotriva, a facut efortul sa invete sa cante in limba romana si trebuie felicitata si laudata. In plus, canta foarte frumos.

[@ionteszter6840]

Era o simpla observatie. Daca noi putem sa le vorbim limba, trebuie sa se straduiasca si ei mai mult.
