26 Dec 98 - 10:05 PM (#50995) Subject: Lyr Add: I WENT TO THE ROSANN From: alison Hi, Here it is. This is a translation of the Clannad version (which isn't as long as the one alice gave the link to above) from the CD "Clannad 2". I didn't do the translation (not good enough yet... I'm only learning Irish)... it was sent to me a while back... I think it sounds much prettier in Irish. I WENT TO THE ROSANN
I went on a visit to the Rosann And looked towards the sky
I met a beautiful young woman
We became tired and sad
I wasn't long making music
I happened to go into the pub
When we relieved our tiredness with sadness Slainte alison |

05 Feb 99 - 05:47 PM (#57414) Subject: RE: Chuaigh me na rossan From: Philippa The same lyrics as given in the link above are in Peter Kennedy's "Songs of Britain and Ireland", along with complete translation and sheet-music notation (the link gives ABC). Reference notes state that the song was composed by Peadar Breatnach of Ballinamore, Glenfinn for a woman he met at a pub in Arranmore Island. Maighread N¡ Dhomhnaill recorded this song not too long back. And according to an earlier Mudcat thread, it's also been recorded by Scottish group Capercaillie. |

05 Feb 99 - 10:24 PM (#57440) Subject: RE: Cuaigh me na rossan From: alison Hi, I don't think it has been done by Capercaillie (it's not on any of my CD's anyway). There is a lovely recording of it by Scartaglen on a CD called Celtic Odyssey (Narada ND-63912). Also done by Clannad on Clannad 2. Can't remember if I've put the tune in for this before... will go check. Slainte alison |

05 Feb 99 - 10:48 PM (#57443) Subject: Tune Add: CHUAIGH ME 'NA ROSANN From: alison Hi, Couldn't find the earlier thread... but I hadn't already made a MIDI of the tune..... so I assume I didn't do it before, (apologies if I've already done this.)
MIDI file: CHUAIGH.MID Timebase: 480 Name: CHUAIGH ME 'NA ROSANN This program is worth the effort of learning it. To download the March 10 MIDItext 98 software and get instructions on how to use it click here ABC format: X:1

06 Feb 99 - 01:09 PM (#57478) Subject: RE: Cuaigh me na rossan From: cleod I know I have the whole song's English translation somewhere -- the trick is to find it...will get back to you on this. In the thread alison mentions above, i only put the translation for the lyrics actually sung by Scartaglen. cleod |

06 Feb 99 - 01:14 PM (#57479) Subject: RE: Cuaigh me na rossan From: Philippa Cleod, I think what you've already given is good enough; it gets across the general sense of the song |

06 Feb 99 - 09:03 PM (#57504) Subject: RE: Cuaigh me na rossan From: MG MudCat used to deal sympathetically with the acute accent above Irish (Gaelic) vowels, now it seems bent on serving up nonsense syllables. Why? And I don't want to hear any nonsense about using the ubiquitous forward slash instead. ,‚,¡,¢,£. MG |

07 Feb 99 - 04:33 PM (#57564) Subject: RE: Cuaigh me na rossan From: MG 24 Hrs later (almost to the minute) My last note, vis a vis accented vowels, seems to have been somewhat hasty. Now let's see cad ‚ mar a ‚ir¡onn leis san abairt ghairid seo. If MudCat has fixed this one, I am once more reconciled. Apart from anything else, the access time is amazingly improved.

And so far, no one has responded to my queries (in various threads and in the 'fada' thread in the help section) about whether these archived contributions can be restored to their proper appearanfce. |

I don't quite understand what MG's saying, but we'll keep these threads going until we get our questions about altered letters answered! Not that it really applies to this thread, as the 26 Dec. link is to a different website, where accented letters were intact the last time I looked. |

26 Apr 05 - 10:33 PM (#1471934) Subject: Add: Peadar Breathnach's Song From: michaelr Interesting that this thread should be revived just as I'm listening to Altan's version (from their new CD "Local Ground", Narada 2005). Their title is "Amhran Pheadair Bhreathnaigh" (as was Miighread Ni Dhomhnaill's). What's special is that Altan have thoughtfully provided a singable translation which I'll post here. It has a few scansion problems, and doesn't mention the Rosses, but I think it's a good start and I'll try to come up with a workable version. Once while making a tour in haste to view all the sights so fair By the Northern Isles I was bound like a deer being pursued by hounds. Said the people who stood by the bay when I arrived on the pier It shows from the grief on your face you're a man who is haunted by fear. A handsome young female I met whose sharp words cut me to the core If you're the one who has harmed a young maid your actions I do deplore. On the mainland I saw a young man who was fleeing barefooted in awe I'm thinking that you're the young man that is closely pursued by law. I answered this pretty young maid as she seemed to take heed of my tale Stop now from speaking in jest, I'm not one of the type you claim. But come and sit closer to me and act just the same as I Or I'll go straight and leave you in grief and reach the mainland in one leap. Our talk became lonely and sad and this young maiden said to me Where could a strong glass be had that would rid us of all our woes? There's an alehouse alongside the road where there's always a glass to spare You go now and rap on the board and it won't cost you the fare. The drink flowed freely galore was the popular brew in the land And if I drank "Galun Ui Dhomhnaill" my store would be taken in hand. Cheers, Michael |
