see also the Glenroe thread

Mainistir an Buaile and one of the songs called Cuaichín Ghleann Neifin have similarities both in text and tune with Gort an Charnán / Chornáin

a version of the tune was used as the theme show for the "Glenroe" tv series

YOU I LOVE!!!

By the way, I haven't got your address anymore, but I have a new and improved and yet bigger lyrics cd, with the titles not all bunched up! I'd love to send you another so you can toss the old one out. I'm using yahoo.com now, not excite, but the front half of my email's the same, and I think my old one's on the disk.

Thank you so very, very much! I have about 7 people who've asked me for this one in the past, and they're going to love me now....

Thúas ag Gort A Chárnáin

Agus thúas ag Gort A Chárnáin
Tá áilne ban Éireann
'San té a gheobhadh ó nas máthair í.
Budh lághach í le bréagadh
A's og dtug mo chroidhe grádh di le páirt de'n dithchéille
'S d'éaluigh sí leis an táilliúr uaim
'Sé ránaidhe fear Éireann

Ní shiubhalfaidh mé níos mó ar
Na bóithribh seo agaibhse
Ach tógfaidh mé mo sheólta
Amach faoi na sléibhtibh
Ólfaidh mé mo dhóthain Dia Domhnaigh
'S ní béidh mé ar meirge
Mar shúil go bhfághainn blas do phóigín
'S tú mo stóirín, a bhláth na finne!

Tá mo ghrádh mar bhláth na náirne
bhíos ag fás i dtús an tsamhraidh
Nó mar na faoileáiní bána
bhíos ag snámh ar na gleanntaibh.
Nó mar bhéadh grian ós cionn Chárnáin
Ins na sráide ag gabháil tímpeall
A's mar siúd a bhíos mo ghrádh bán
Ag déanamh rábhailte thrí m'intinn

Éireofidh mé amárach
Le fáinne an lae ghléghil
A's déanfaidh mé mo dheaghrás
Amach faoi na sléibhte.
Fághfaidh mé mo bheannacht
Ag mnáibh deas an tsaoghail seo
A's dheanmhan a bhfillidh abhaile dhiom
Go mbeidh an barr ag clainnaibih Éireann.

I've been looking for this one for centuries. Anybody out there got it? I can make out some of it, but I need lots of help.

Dolores Keane sings it on Sail Og Rua, and I've never heard anyone else do it, and I've no idea where to find it except in the Journal of the Irish Folk Song Society from the 1920s. The nearest set of those is over 1,000 miles from here. Boy, do I miss the Music Library at Indiana University!

hogs & fishes,
