GUEST,lughnie Irish pronunciation 'Black is the Color' (21) Irish pronunciation 'Black is the Color' 13 Jun 12


Hello- I was wondering if anyone has the phonetic pronunciation available for "Se Dubh an Dath' (Black is the Colour). The lyrics in Irish that I have are as follows:

Se dubh an dath, de gruaig mo ghrá
Tá bheolaí cosúil le blathanna aille
Tá mean gáire deasa agus lamhaí bóg aici
Is táim i ngrá leis an áit a sheasann sí

Táim i ngrá le mo ghrá is tá a fios aici
a chusla mo stór mo ghrá gheal
Táim ag súil leis an la a mbeadh seans aici
bheith le cheile gan éinne linn

Níl aon am agam, tá mé ag dul leag
Saisúil ní bheadh mé go brach
Scríobhfaidh mé litir, cupla líonnta gear
Mar gheall ar an tsamhraidh is an aimsire bréa

It's such a lovely traditional tune; singing it in Irish might be nice at a future session. Many kind thanks in advance.
