Subject: Lyr Add: AILELU NA GNAMHA From: MudGuard Date: 26 Jan 00 - 02:59 AM Here are the lyrics (dont't beat me if the spelling is wrong or the fadas are in the wrong places, I copied it from somewhere and I do know nothing about gaelic). MudGuard AILELU NA GNAMHAIn iníon d'aoire mé féinig gan amhrasDo bhíodh ina cónaí cois taobh na Leamhna Bhí bothán agam féin ann is fuinneog i gceann de Fad a bhíodh an bainne ag téamh agam 'Sea ghlaofainn ar na gamhna ChorusAililiú na gamhna, na gamhna bánaFaightear dom cana is faightear dom bhuarach Is faightear dom soitheach ina gcuirfead mo chuid uachtair Ceolta sí na cruinne bheith á síorchur i m'chluasa Ba bhinne liomsa géimneach na mbó ag teacht chun buaile Rachaimid ar an aonach is ceannóimid gamhna Is cuirfimid ar féar iad amach ins na gleannta Íosfaidh siad an féar is barr an aitinn ghallda Is tiocfaidh siad abhaile chun an bhainne i gcóir an tSamhraidh |

Subject: RE: Aililiú na Gamhna From: Peg Date: 26 Jan 00 - 01:01 PM Hi there; I used to sing this in a now-defunct band... I believe the version of this on the Solas CD has a direct translation. I have it at home and if you want I could type it in... Essentially it is a young girl singing about the simple delights of tending her cows: there is lots of pastoral imagery about milk pails and "all the pretty cows" dancing in the meadow in the late afternoon sun, all the pretty cows, I love them the best, etc. very charming song... peg |

Subject: RE: Aililiú na Gamhna From: GUEST,Cathair Date: 26 Jan 00 - 08:24 PM This is the version that Mary O'Hara recorded all those years ago. I think it's a Munster song. Cathair |
Subject: RE: Aililiú na Gamhna From: GUEST,Philippa Date: 16 Oct 02 - 04:55 PM According to the notes on "Ailliliú na Gamhna" in the songbook "Cuisle an Ceoil" (An Roinn Oideachais, Dublin 1976), this song has the same story as that of an Ulster song, "Na Gamhna Geala", which Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill has recorded. A woman who has married a rich man is unhappy and remembers the days when she hearded the cattle. In some stories, say the notes in "Cuisle an Ceoil", the rich man is a ship's captain. Previous published sources are the Irish journals Éigse iii,4, p.257 & following, and Béaloideas XX, pp.70-71. A more recent songbook publication is Ó Baoill, "Ceolta Gael". |
Subject: RE: Aililiú na Gamhna From: GUEST,JTT Date: 17 Oct 02 - 09:41 AM Aliliú means "yoohoo", or maybe you'd prefer "Alleliujia". Gamnha are heifers - young girl cows in their first milk. The chorus says, roughly: "Hooray for the heifers, the bright white heifers" - and presumably speaks both of the implicit wealth of someone with lots of cattle, and the bright whiteness of sexy young women. |
