Hi all :o)


I'm looking badly for the gaelic lyrics to "Tog é go bog e" from Kíla.
I would be very happy to get them.
The pronounciation is another thing *g* but I think I will manage this.

thanks in advance

Sabine

I already did, Angun, but there is only the englisch translation!
As I said I need the gaelic lyrics :o)

Regards

The lyrics are printed on the insert to the CD of the same name (Green Linnet, 1999) which is readily available for purchase.

I was fortunate to see Kila play in San Francisco recently. They really play progressive, original Irish rock music with traditional instruments. They've written a number of blazing tunes. It was a red-hot performance, and lead singer Ronan O Snodaigh is a demon on the bodhran, which he plays with what looks like a chopstick.

Sabine, if you convince me you really can't find the CD, I'll consider typing them out, but it's a long song and there's a ton of fadas which I don't know how to do. :-)

Cheers,
Michael

Sorry Sabine, thought you'd find the Irish lyrics there as well.
Anyway, here they are:

TÓG É GO BOG É (Rónán Ó Snodaigh)

Gafaithe in áit a líonann an trácht atá mé
Gafaithe in áit a chreidfeadh tú é
Gafaithe in áit a rialaíonn an trácht a bhí mé
N'fheadar conas ach is cinnte go n-éalóidh mé
   
Chun imeacht i dtreo na bóithre gan cosán le mo thaobh atá mé
Chun taisteal thair as thall aris ar bhrollach an domhan atá mé
Chun díriú i dtreo an dúchais in ar tógadh mé atá mé
N'fheadar conas ach is cinnte go shroichfidh mé é
   
Slán agaibh, slán agaibh Uilig, slán agaibh
Agus buailfidh libh arís ar ball
Slán agaibh, slán agaibh a chairde, slán agaibh
Agus tiocfaidh mé ar ais arís ar ball
   
Ag fuascailliú na sciatháin atá díomhaoin i mo cheann atá mé
Ag lorg radharc lena ritheann an tuiscint léi atá mé
Ag lorg sos agus síochán do mo chroí 's mo cheann atá mé
Is cuma conas ach, go bhfaighfigh mé é
   
Tóg é go bog é, glac é go réidh
Tóg é go bog é, na bí ag troid leat féin
Tóg é go bog é, glac é go réidh
Tóg é go bog é, tochaill go doimhin ionat féin
Tóg é go bog é, glac é go réidh
Tóg é go bog é, na bí ag troid leat féin
Tóg é go bog é, glac é go réidh
Tóg é go bog é, tiocfaidh sé nuair a thagann sé
   
Ag lorg áit lena mbuaileann an fharraige leis an spéar atá mé
Ag lorg tobar a tinte óna lastar ár saol atá mé
Ag iarraidh fás agus forbairt a chothú ar an saol atá mé
Agus cúiseanna ceiliúradh a chur chun cinn timpeall orm atá mé
   
Tóg é go bog é, glac é go réidh
Tóg é go bog é, na bí ag troid leat féin
Tóg é go bog é, glac é go réidh
Tóg é bog é, tochaill go doimhin ionat féin
Tóg é go bog é, glac é go réidh
Tóg é go bog é, tiocfaidh sé nuair a thagann sé
Tóg é go bog é, glac é go réidh
Tóg é go bog é, lig don solas teacht isteach i do shaol

Shouldn't it be "tóg go bog é" anyway, notwithstanding what Kíla have chosen to put on their album?

Nope. Tog e go bog e is correct.
