Thread Name: Gaelic trans.: Eamonn an Chnoic/Chniuic
Subject: Lyric add: Eamonn an Chnoic
Fionnuala MacLochlainn sings the original Gaelic on her recording for Gael-Linn records. Her original 45 RPM EP was released in the 1960's, with three other traditional songs, all in Irish Gaelic. In the last five years or so, Gael-Linn has published a compact disc anthology titled "Amhráin Ghrá," with eight different singers whose earlier recordings for the label have been selected for inclusion.

"Eamonn an Chnoic" is sung by MacLochlainn on the "Amhráin Ghrá" compact disc; arrangement credit is given to somebody with the last name of Hardebeck, and she is accompanied by guitarist Norman Watson.

With some variations here and there in the Gaelic words, MacLochlainn sings essentially the same verses as posted to this thread by Guest/JTT in the post dated August 11, 2004.   Perhaps in a future post I might submit the Gaelic lyrics as they are printed on the back of the original Gael-Linn vinyl EP; the record sleeve, with the Gaelic lyrics on the back, is visible in an EBay listing.
