Sabine Lyr Req: Fear a Bhata (from Niamh Parsons) (21) RE: Lyr Req: Niamh Parsons: Fear an bhata 12 Nov 01


Great!!!! That's it. I found the verses I needed in the thread Noreen posted. It was exactly the version I have, so I suppose it was cut out from Blackbirds and Trushes.

Isn't it fantastic the bluesy way she is singing it?

You see, people often call me crazy, but I found out that the english words to a song which was originally written in gaelic often doesn't sound very well. The english language has a different melodie as the gaelic and other language. So, to my ear sometimes the expression get's lost.

I only know little gaelic but I can listen very well and together with the few words I know I am able to pronounce it. And - of course - I like to know what I am singing about.

When I was in Ireland this year people were really astonished. Because after I had sung some gaelic songs they wanted to talk to me in gaelic as well. But to their great surprise they had to find out that I was unable to and that I came from Germany :o)

I liked this *ggg*

Folks,

let me thank you again for your help!

A big hug to you all!!!

Sabine
