A Chairde Gael,
Tá suíomh nua déanta agam [url=http://www.songsinirish.com]Songs in Irish[/url].
Ceapim go bhfuil an leag amach seo go maith d’fhoghlaimeoirí. Tá an Ghaeilge agus an Béarla taobh le taobh, agus fís YouTube ar dheis, so is féidir leat na focail a chloistáil agus a léamh ag an am céanna.
Seo daoibh cúpla amhráin is coitianta: [url=http://www.songsinirish.com/p/donal-agus-morag-lyrics.html]Dónal Agus Mórag[/url], [url=http://www.songsinirish.com/p/oro-se-do-bheatha-bhaile-lyrics.html]Óró Sé do Bheatha ‘Bhaile[/url], [url=http://www.songsinirish.com/p/baidin-fheilimi-lyrics.html]Báidín Fheilimí[/url], [url=http://www.songsinirish.com/p/bean-phaidin-lyrics.html]Bean Pháidín[/url],
An bhfuil aon achainí agaibh? Bain sult as!

I’ve made a new site [url=http://www.songsinirish.com]Songs in Irish[/url]. I think this layout is good for learners (I’m learning myself), and you can listen to the YouTube video whilst reading the lyrics.
I also play guitar so I’ll be adding in my own chords for each song.
If you have any song requests, let me know. I’m having fun discovering lots of new Irish songs.
Bain sult as!
Some 40 years ago I heard on the radio (perhaps bbc shortwave) a beautiful version of “singing bird” in Irish Gaelic sung by an unknown Irish family. I asked around unsuccessfully to get the lyrics. The English version was then being sung by the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. There was no internet at the time, but now perhaps it’s possible to find those lyrics and eventually give an old man the satisfaction of singing it in Irish (?)
I put a link to it on my blog http://ancroiait.wordpress.com/
If that’s not OK let me know and I’ll take it down.
Love what you’ve done!
Yes, it’s a great resource for learning Irish 🙂Níl an t-amhran úd agam, ach agus mé á lorg tháinig mé ar an liosta amhráin seo:

The English version is here –
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0IAkDGgRpwBut it’s not familiar to me nor does it remind me of any Irish song. Sorry I can’t help.
After some more searching…
Looks like it’s called “M’Éinín Ceoil” in Irish.
It’s on this Album –

I haven’t been able to find a sample of it online so I can’t verify if that is the song you want or if that is only an instrumental version on that album. It does say “song” though.It’s not a traditional song, but the track “Imeacht” by Iarla Ó Lionáird is a really sublime bit of sean nós inspired Irish that I would love to have a transcription for. Haven’t been able to find lyrics for it anywhere, so it would have to be transcribed by someone who understands him.
Sílim gurbh é seo é:
Whoa, you’re good!
Either that or I really suck. I looked all over for that and couldn’t find it. 😉
Incidentally I’m somewhat pleased to see how much I got right in attempting to transcribing it myself, but his pronunciation seems a little foreign to me.GRMMA!
