24 Sep 10 - 12:46 PM (#2992973) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Aisling Ghear - Maura O'Connell From: GUEST,^&* That'll probably be "Aisling Geal" (bright vision, literally). There's probably a copy around here somewhere-try the Search with that spelling. |

24 Sep 10 - 02:56 PM (#2993037) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Aisling Ghear - Maura O'Connell From: GUEST Sorry but its not Aisling Geal, its from the album Eist by Maura O'Connell Aisling Ghear (I think means Short Dream) same melody as Christy Moore sings "Chroi oh my Chroi" |

24 Sep 10 - 03:09 PM (#2993049) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Aisling Ghear - Maura O'Connell From: Fred McCormick Guest. Can't help you with the song but you've got the translation about right. It's the Christy Moore one which puzzles me though. You see, Chroí oh my Chroí would come out in English almost as Heart of My Heart. When I was a lad there was a very popular song of that name, which went something like: Heart of My Heart, I love that melody; Heart of My Heart brings back those memories, When we were kids on the corner of the street, We were rough and ready guys, But, oh, how we could harmonize, Heart of my heart, meant friends were dearer then Too bad we had to part, I know a tear would glisten If once more I could listen, To the gang that sang Heart of My Heart. Heart of my heart in Irish? Surely not :-) |

25 Sep 10 - 03:46 AM (#2993326) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Aisling Ghear - Maura O'Connell From: GUEST,^&* OK. Title is Aisling Ghéar - note the accent on the e. Translates as "bitter vision", as has been said. It's an Irish language version of Jimmy McCarthy's song "Mystic Lipstick". I need to check the tranlation credit - think I have the Éist CD at home... |
