Hi you all !

I am looking for the lyrics of the song : Suil a Ruin, sung, among others, by the band 'Lord of the dance'.

It seems to me that it is well known irish song, because I heard it somewhere else, and I wonder why it does not appear in Digitrad...

Thanks a lot !

Do a DT search on the word "Shule" and you'll get a few hits.

It does, Jeremie- there are numerous spellings, as Karen says. There have been several very useful discussions here on one of my favourite songs. I'll hunt them out later for you.

To save some time. Here are only a FEW of the discussions and three sets of lyrics: (Use the SuperSearch since it looks both in the Lyrics database AND the Message Forum.

Yes! I must say George you sure have "stick-to-itiveness". There was no way I was going to make clickies for all those titles and such. You're the man!

Karen, it's pretty easy with "cut and paste". BAsically I keep a notepad document handy and it has:

<a href="">Thread</a><br>

There are about a dozen at any time there. I just paste in the url I cut out of the SuperSearch. Sometimes I have more time, and I change Thread with a more descriptive name. Once I get enough links I just cut it out of Notepad and then paste it into here. Makes it easy.

Well, I did not know that "suil" is written "shule" by "only english"-writers, and as I am french, I do not know how to pronounce irish... Does anybody know a link (or anyhting else) where I could learn to read irish correctly ?

You're very welcome.

Pronuciation of Irish is hard to explain. You'd have to take a beginner's course on it. It starts with letters having a different sound than in English or in French, I assume. Mixing letters do strange things, but being French, the vowel combinations should be relatively easy for you.

Do a search on Irish Language and you should be able to find some information to start you off.

Oh, I just remembered, the pronunciation problem is also compounded by the fact that Irish had a "spelling reformation" back in the mid-fifties.
