Subject: RE: Níl 'na Lá - a Halloween song From: Mían Date: 28 Oct 99 - 01:48 PM I saw a tune there but have not yet found lyrics. I like the rendition by Pádraigíallachain on the CD, "A Stór 's A Stóirín". |

Subject: RE: Níl 'na Lá - a Halloween song From: Philippa Date: 28 Oct 99 - 01:56 PM I never thought of it as a Halloween song. The theme is quite like the Wild Rover. The landlady won't serve the narrator after hours until she's see's the money, then it's a big welcome. Are we talking of the same song, Mian? I have a couple of versions that I could type out if you want. Something happened with your typing of Pádraigín Ní Uallacháin's name. Other artists include Clannad and Jimmy Crowley. |

Subject: RE: Níl 'na Lá - a Halloween song From: Mían Date: 28 Oct 99 - 02:16 PM It's more of a lark re: the Halloween thing. I was looking at the lyrics from Padraigin's CD and noticed a brief reference to Samhain. And the song was in my head, and I started thinking about the refrain and how it spoke of the wee hours of the morning or night, the perfect time when spirits like to circulate (pun intended). |

Subject: RE: Níl 'na Lá - a Halloween song From: Philippa Date: 29 Oct 99 - 07:12 AM thanks, Áine and Mían, but I do have a quibble; I think it would've been better to have refreshed the thread which already contains lyrics and to add your versions there. Now I'll need to add a link at THAT thread. The version Pádraigín Ní Uallacháin sings is almost exactly the same as that sung recorded by Solas and by Jimmy Crowley, and a translation is given at the other thread (see my link, 28 Oct above). Also, Pádraigín gives a translation in the notes to her Gael-Linn recording. Ní ga duit bheith ag obair chomh crua, a Mhíain! In 'Jimmy Crowley's Irish Songbook' (Cork: Mercier, 1986), Jimmy says he learned the song from Diarmuid Ó Súilleabháin of Cúil Aodha, Co. Cork, and that it's thought to have come to Cúil Aodha via Jackie Phaddy Ó Tuama from Glanlea. Alison, the different versions have different tunes, so we'll have to establish which one is on the midi site. Thanks for all your work on supplying abcs and midis for songs. |

Subject: RE: Níl 'na Lá From: Philippa Date: 29 Oct 99 - 07:49 AM You'll find another version of Níl sé 'na Lá at the unofficial Clannad site. The placename 'Creeslough' is spelled wrong in the notes, but the Irish looks okay at a quick glance. The words of the version I learned to sing are about the same, but to a much slower air than the one sung by Clannad. Published sources include Mícheál Ó hEidhin. 'Cas Amhrán'. Cló Cois Fharraige (available from Cló Iar-Chonnachta, Indreabhan, Co Galway) and Seán Óg Ó Baoill & Manus Ó Baoill. 'Ceolta Gael', Mercier Press, Cork. Also 'Abair Amhrán', but that book only has lyrics, no music. My next installment: version from Róise na n-Amhrán, Róise Bean Mhic Grianna, of Arranmore Island, Co Donegal. |

Subject: RE: Níl 'na Lá - a Halloween song From: Áine Date: 29 Oct 99 - 09:31 AM Well, I listened to the three versions discussed in this thread and the previous one (thanks, Philippa). The Solas version (on their 'Solas' CD), the Clannad version (which I have on the 'Clannad in Concert' CD), and Aoife Ní Fhearraigh's version (on her self-titled CD) each have different tunes. The Solas and Aoife's versions share the tune in the chorus. As close as I can figure, the tune in the MIDI form is the Solas version. I can't find Pádraigín's CD right now, so I'll let someone else weigh in that one. -- Áine |

Subject: Róise na nAmhrán From: Philippa Date: 29 Oct 99 - 10:10 AM 1) Maybe it was indeed better to add the lyrics to this thread, because it is easier to find than the one which has n'il in its title rather than níl. 2) I started preparing the Róise na nAmhrán version for posting, and then I realised it wasn't necessary as Róise is apparently the main source of Aoife's version as posted by Áine. Here, anyway, is some info. about Róise: Róise na nAmhrán (Rose of the songs) RTE 'Songs of a Donegal Woman' can be ordered from < a href=http://www.rte.iéaboutrtéproducts/audiomusic.html> Raidio Teilfis Eireann Also see review at: http://web.ukonline.co.uk/mustrad/reviews/sean_nos.htm

Subject: RE: Níl sé 'na lá From: Philippa Date: 29 Oct 99 - 10:37 AM The Solas and the Clannad lyrics are also posted in the multi-song thread called traditional tunes in Irish gaeilge My previous link to RTE wasn't clickable because I had a space after the angle bracket! Apparently the most foolproof, though not the easiest, way to make accents appear on these pages is to use the symbols given in this table which Joe Offer directed me to. I mention it because of Mían's problems and because there's a discussion of other methods in the so-called 'traditional tunes' thread. I do usually use these symbols when submitting lyrics, but I don't bother for notes like these. |

Subject: RE: Níl 'na Lá - a Halloween song From: Mían Date: 29 Oct 99 - 11:36 AM Ó,bhuel, bíonn taitneamh agam ar an obair. Speaking of hard work, thanks so much for the links. I used the table for the fadas in this post. I think yesterday I just was tired and did not see any errors on them. The lyrics turned out okay because I used Word to create the html and cut & pasted the code. I tickled to think of the song in the context of Samhain / Hallow E'en because spirits are in play... |

Subject: RE: Níl 'na Lá - a Halloween song From: Áine Date: 29 Oct 99 - 11:51 AM Mian, What version of Word are you using? And how did you use it to create the html? |

Subject: RE: Níl 'na Lá - a Halloween song From: MMario Date: 29 Oct 99 - 11:57 AM MS-Word w/ office 95 or office 97 or above will all "html-ize" documents. then if you view source and cut and paste to here, it will come out right. |

Subject: RE: Níl 'na Lá - a Halloween song From: Mían Date: 29 Oct 99 - 12:21 PM I have Office 95. I also have programmed onto my keys the fadas. Lemmee see, what did I do to do that? Oh, I did Settings - Control Panel - Keyboard - chose International settings for the language. Then when I want a fada, I use the apostrophe/quotes key before typing the vowel (works with caps, too). The only very minor drawback is the extra strokes you then have to use to get an actual apostrophe. small price to pay for being able to type fadas. So I type out the lyrics with fadas & all. Then I "file - save as html". Then "view source" and use what u see there to cut & paste to MudCat or whereever. |

Subject: RE: Níl 'na Lá - a Halloween song From: Philippa Date: 29 Oct 99 - 09:24 PM Any keyboard method I know of showing the accents currently looks okay on Mudcat, but most are NOT guaranteed to withstand any technical overhauls as were carried out earlier this year. Aine. if you sacrifice your house to your singing, you can quote my my favourite line in some versions of this song, when the singer says of his drinking, "D'fhag mé mo chios i mo scornaigh"; "I left my rent in my throat". |

Subject: RE: Níl 'na Lá - a Halloween song From: Philippa Date: 01 Nov 99 - 07:39 PM A version of Níl Sé 'na Lá with eleven verses is published under the title Bean an Tí Leanna in Éinrí Ó Muirgheasa, "Céad de Cheolta Uladh" (1915), new edition edited by Brother Beausang, published by Comhaltas Uladh, 1983. verse VI.: "Nach mór an mheisce bhí i mo cheann Nuair a shíl mé gurab é an lá bhí againn? Charbh é ach an ghealach a bhí ag éirí Is thug sí soilse feadh an domhain". (Wasn't I tipsy to think that it was day already [and the alehouse would be open]? It was just the moon rising that gave light over the world)
The book doesn't include any musical notation, but Ó Muirgheasa says in his notes, "The music to which this song was sung in Munster will be found in Joyce's "Ancient Irish Music", no. 57" |

Subject: RE: Bean Tí an Leanna From: GUEST,Philippa Date: 21 Jun 02 - 07:29 PM this song is all over Mudcat. Several Irish-language versions are posted at a thread about the singable (and now much sung) translation "There's the Day" Information on publication of some more versions of the song (much overlap of wording with lyrics already given): "Bean an ti leana" in Breandán Ó Buachalla, "Nua-Duanaire II", Dublin 1976. source RIA 23 E 12, 33 (1846) S. Laoide. "Duanaire na Midhe", Dublin, 1914 "Bean an Teach Leanna" in Éinrí Ó Muirgheasa [Ó Muireasa], "Céad de Cheoltaibh [Cheolta] Uladh", Dublin 1915 (new edition - and hence the new spellings in brackets, Newry, 1983) - Ó Muirgheasa also cites RIA 23, E. 12 and writes, " I heard it and noted it down in Co. Monaghan, Co. Armagh and Co.Donegal and this version is collated from all these. another somewhat different version is given in the 'Leabhar Filiochta', edited by the late lamented J. C. Ward of Killybegs [Co Donegal]. The music to which the song was sung in Munster [southernmost Irish province] will be found in Joyce' 'Ancient Irish Music', no.57" I already quoted a verse from Ó Muirgheasa's book above (Nov 1999). |

Subject: RE: Níl 'na Lá - a Halloween song From: An Pluiméir Ceolmhar Date: 25 Jul 02 - 12:13 PM Seems like Schroedinger's cat would have liked this song. There was a thread on the song recently to which I contributed, as did others far more knowledgeable than I, but I can't find it in the search engine. I think he title was someone's attempt to spell níl sé 'na lá phonetically. It was something like nil sen la. |
|
Subject: RE: Níl 'na Lá - a Halloween song From: An Pluiméir Ceolmhar Date: 25 Jul 02 - 12:24 PM Here's the Mudcat thread I had in mind, but it refers to a similar discussion in Chiff & Fipple, where it was pointed out that there are several songs along the same lines but with different tunes. One is Níl sé 'n' lá, the other is Níl 'na lá, and I've no idea what the third one is. A bit of unintentional forum-shopping going on there. |

Subject: RE: Níl 'na Lá - a Halloween song From: GUEST,Philippa Date: 25 Jul 02 - 12:24 PM the search engine doesn't give you the newer entries, so you have to set the filter for a longer time period (30 days, 90 days, etc) and put in a key word that is actually in the subject heading of the thread. But if you use the clickable link to There's the Day (see my message of 21 June above), you will find links there to other threads.

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Nil 'na La - a Halloween song From: AmyLove Date: 11 Jan 16 - 09:03 PM Philippa states "A version of Níl Sé 'na Lá with eleven verses is published under the title Bean an Tí Leanna ..." I believe I found this version here. Here are the lyrics (I'm just copying and pasting; there are some notations which I'm just leaving in.): Bean an tí leanna "Éirigh suas, a bhean an tí, is ná cuir gruaim in do mhalaí, acht tabhair chugainn cupán dí agus gheobhair díol ann faoi mhaidin. Níl sé an lá, a mhíle grá, níl sé an lá, níl nó an mhaidin; níl sé an lá, a mhíle grá, óir is ar ball a d'éirigh an ghealach!" "Níl sin pinginn in do phóca, is níl scór le fáil sa tighse; éirigh suas is buail an bóthar, tá sé an t-am a dhul abhaile. Tá sé an lá, a mhíle grá, tá sé an lá, fós is an mhaidin; tá sé an lá, a mhíle grá, is tá sé an t-am a dhul abhaile." Chuir sé lámh ina phóca, is tharraing sé aníos cúpla dalar: "ní fhaighimse náire i dtigh an óil, óir is fiosach dhomh mo scór a ghlanadh." Níl sé an lá, etc. Nuair a chonnairc an bhean an t-airgead bán ghlac sí lúcháir mhór is aigne: "suidh síos ansin, a dhuine chóir, is féadann tú bheith ag ól go maidin." Níl sé an lá, etc. "Éirigh suas, a fhir an tí, cuir ort do bhríste is do stocaí, is congaibh cuideachta leis an duine cóir, is beidh sé ag ól go dtí maidin." Níl sé an lá, etc. "An gcluin tú mise, a fhir an tí? - ná cuir ort do bhríste, nó do stocaí; deamhan sin braon dem chuidse dí téid fá do chroí go dtí maidin!" Tá sé an lá, etc. "Nach mise féin an bhean gan náire - mac mo chomharsan istigh is tart air; dá mbeadh gan pinginn a bheith ina phóca bhéarfainn ól dó go maidin." Níl sé an lá, etc. "Nach mór an mheisce bhí in mo cheann nuair a shaoil mé gurbh é an lá bhí agam! - ní hé, ach an ghealach a bhí ag éirí is thug sí soilse feadh an domhain." Níl sé an lá, etc. "Táid na ba insa mbuaile, is táid na gamhna ag ól an bhainne; táid na caoirigh leis na maorthaibh, is tá sé an t-am a dhul abhaile." Tá sé an lá, etc. "Táid mná na leanntaí ag dul ar buile ag tógáil tí i mbráid gach bealaigh; chaith mé an oíche ó lá go lá i dtigh na bairsí rua cleasaí. Tá sé an lá, a mhíle grá, tá sé an lá, fós is an mhaidin; tá sé an lá, a mhíle grá, is tá sé an t-am a dhul abhaile." |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Nil 'na La - a Halloween song From: AmyLove Date: 11 Jan 16 - 09:14 PM Now I'm thinking the fact that those notations I mentioned are not present accounts for the bold type and underlining.

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Nil 'na La - a Halloween song? From: Felipa Date: 25 Feb 21 - 10:04 AM I don't know why you say that, Runrig Fan. Jimmy Crowley and the Wolfe Tones both recorded Irish language versions of the song. There are a lot of versions of Níl 'na Lá in Irish. I only know of one in English, "There's the Day",as recorded by Cathal McConnell (I think he composed the singable translation), Kevin Mitchell and Daoirí Farrell. It is posted elsewhere on Mudcat. The tune used is a slow one, the same tune that Brian O hEara sings on the recording cited a few posts up by Runrig Fan. It's also the first tune I learned the Irish lyrics to although I also heard Clannad's fast version around the same time. |
