GUEST,Kitskyco@aol.com Origins: Let Union Be In All Our Hearts - Grange? (31) Origins: Tu ra lie do 13 Feb 06


THis tu ra lie do is in the chorus of the song Let Union Be in all our Hearts. Question--the irish Lullaby and a lot of other Irish songs have some variation, tura loora addy, etc. Is their any meaning - some old Celtic or Gaelic phrase - at the basis, or is it just nonsense syllables? Another question--I find it hard to believe the song was originally a farm song sung by the Grange (substitute "farms" for "hearts")--it would seem to me more likely the Grange must have adapted it from some older (Irish?) song??
