16 Oct 01 - 07:47 PM (#573774) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: seoithin agus (Celtic Lullaby) From: Malcolm Douglas The song in question was recorded by Gary O'Briain and Padraigin Ni Uallachain on their record A Stor A Stoirin - Songs for All Ages; online listings don't specify the label or date. It has also appeared on a compilation CD of "Celtic" lullabies. The original record has a booklet with Gaelic lyrics and English translations, so you could always try buying it. A generic song title such as Lullaby and Lullaby isn't likely to be easily identifiable by anyone who doesn't have the record from which it came... |

Brian - The link you gave me isn't what I was looking for, but thanks for trying. The song I have on tape has very repititous words but a lilting up and down melody

17 Oct 01 - 01:48 PM (#574278) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: seoithin agus (Celtic Lullaby) From: weepiper From the words you give it sounds like it might be a piobaireachd (pibroch, slow bagpipe tune with variations, often existing as song too) with words set to it. Hmmm. Any more info you could give about it? |

Agus seoithin Agus seoithin Agus seoithin Agus seo Brian, the singer is Padraigin Ni Uallachain, with Garry O Briain on keyboards, from an album entitled A stor A Stoirin. I have it as part of a compilation tape called Celtic Lullaby. I like the singer, so I may end up buying the source album and maybe that will have some info. But althing you can tell me now would be much appreciated. |

18 Oct 01 - 06:12 PM (#575089) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: seoithin agus (Celtic Lullaby) From: GUEST Susan Marie, The last line of the first verse is A' magadh leat a bhiosa a leanbh bhig o.
Agus seoithin Agus seoithin Agus seoithin Agus seo
The line repeats itself at the end of each verse except leanbh becaome "bhuachaill" in the 2nd verse, "a chailin" in the 3rd verse, and the line for the 4th verse is "A magadh leat a bhimse o oiche go lo"
The liner notes say it is a lullaby from Co. Cork (Bhaile Bhuime). It also points out that there are hints of darkness running through the song warning the child to be on his/her guard.
A rough translation would be 1st verse
I imagine when singing the (THIS) part the singer would do something spooky.

Hope this helps. Jimmy |
