when_lingers I love how he mixed the two songs and gave it a modern twist. So much fun! Favorite track: Bwmba / Cân merthyr.

D’éirigh mé ’r maidin a tharraing chun aonaigh mhóir A dhíol ’s a cheannacht mar dhéanfadh mo dhaoine romham Bhuail tart ar a’ bhealach mé ’s shuí mise síos a dh’ól ’S le Siobhán Ní Dhuibhir gur ól mise luach na mbróg A Shiobhán Ní Dhuibhir an miste leat mé bheith tinn? Mo bhrón ’s mo mhilleadh má’s miste liom tú ’bheigh i gcill Bróinte ’gus muilte bheith scileadh ar chúl do chinn Ach cead a bheith in Iorras go dtara síol Éabh’ ’un cinn A Shiobhán Ní Dhuibhir ’s tú bun agus barr mo scéil Ar mhná an cruinne go dtug sise ’n báire léi Le gile le finne le mais’ is le dhá dtrian scéimh ’S nach mise ’n trua Mhuire bheith scaradh amárach léi Thiar in Iorras tá searc agus grá mo chléibh Planda ’n linbh a d’eitigh mo phósadh inné Beir scéala uaim chuicí má thug mise póg dá béal Go dtabharfainn dí tuilleadh dá gcuirfeadh siad bólacht léi “Beir scéala uaim chuige go dearfa nach bpósaim é Ó chuala mise gur chuir sé le bólacht mé Nuair nach bhfuil agamsa maoin nó mórán spré Bíodh a rogha aige ’s beith mise ’r mo chomhairle féin”

O Iain Ghlinn’ Cuaich, fear do choltais cha dual da fàs, Cul bachlach nan dual ’s e gu camlubach suas gu bhàrr, ’S i do phearsa dheas ghrinn a dh’fhàg mi cho tinn le gràdh, ’S nach’ eil cron ort ri inns’ o mhullach do chinn gu d’sàil. Ach an trian dhe do chliù cha chuir mise, a rùin an céill, ’S caoimh’ faiteal dhe d’ghnùis na ùr choille fo dhrùchd ri gréin, Gum b’ e miann mo dhà shùil a bhith sealltainn gu dlùth ad dhéidh, ’S math a b’airidh mo rùn-s’ air fear-oighre a’ chrùin fo sgéith. Iain, Iain, a ghaoil, cuim’ a leig thu me faoin air chùl, Gun ghuth cuimhn’ air a’ ghaol a bh’againn araon air tùs? Cha tug mise mo spéis do dh’fhear eile fo’n ghréin ach thu, Is cha toir as do dhéidh gus an càirear mo chré ’san ùir. Ged a chinn thu rium fuar, bheil thu, Iain, gun truas ’s mi ’m chàs, ’S a liuthad là agus uair chuir thu ’n céill gum bu bhuan do ghràdh? Ach ma chaochail mi buaidh, ’s gun do choisinn mi t’fhuath na t-fhearg, Tha mo bheannachd ad dhéidh, ’s feuch an tagh thu dhuit fhéin nas fhèarr.

Tá bean in Éirinn a phronnfadh séad damh is mo sháith le n-ól Is tá bean in Éirinn is ba binne léithe mo rafla ceoil No seinm théid; atá bean in Éirinn is níorbh fhearr léi beo Mise ag léimnigh no leagtha i gcré is mo tharr faoi fhód. Tá bean in Éirinn a bheadh ag éad liom mur bhfaighinn ach póg O bhean ar aonach, nach ait an scéala, is mo dhaimh féin leo; Tá bean ab fhearr liom no cath is céad dhíobh nach bhfagham go deo Is tá cailín spéiriúil ag fear gan Bhearla, dubhghránna cróin Tá bean a dearfadh da siúlainn léithe go bhfaighinn an t-ór Is tá bean ’na léine is fearr a méin no na tainte bó Le bean a bhuairfeadh Baile an Mhaoir agus clar Thir Eoghann Is ní fhaicim leigheas ar mo ghalar féin ach scaird a dh’ól

Pa beth yw’r golau mawr a glân? 04:40

Pa beth yw’r golau mawr a glân Uwch llewyrch haul y nef? Pa beth yw sŵn yr hyfryd gân Gerllaw hen Fethle’m dref? Angylion nef a ddaeth i lawr O lys yr uchel Dduw, I ddatgan geni Ceidwad mawr, I achub dynol ryw. A dyna’r gân – “Na foed i’ch bron Un ofn ar hyn o bryd, Mynegi ’rwyf newyddion llon A berthyn i’r holl fyd, Cans ganwyd Ceidwad teg ei wedd Yn ninas Dafydd wiw, Yr hwn yw Crist” – hardd Frenin hedd A Mab y bythol Dduw. A hyn yw’r arwydd wrth ba un Y gwelwch Faban lôr, Mae wedi ei rwymo’n wael ei lun A’i ben ar wellt y côr: Efe yw’r gwaelaf yn y dref, Ni welwyd ned mor dlawd, Er hyn i gyd mae’n Frenin nef, Mae’n Dduw er bod mewn cnawd. Ar hyn dyrchafodd lleisiau fil Yn gydgor fwyn i’r gân, O gariad at y ddynol hil A mawl i’r Baban glân; “Gogoniant yn yr uchel nef I’r Duwdod mawr ei hun, Tangnefedd ar y ddaear gref Ewyllys da i ddyn.” I Faban Mair, a ddaeth yn dlawd Er dwyn in’ olud nef; – I’r unig Dduw a ddaeth mewn cnawd, Dyrchafwn ninnau lef O fawl – a rhoddwn goron cân Yn barchus ar ei ben, Mae’n haeddu y gogoniant glân A’r moliant byth – Amen.

about

This album is a collection of my recordings of traditional Celtic songs from Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brittany. Songs that I’ve been singing for many years, most of which follow me wherever I go.
They were all recorded at home, from 2009 to 2021. Most of them are a cappella, some have a musical background, others a little twist. I made the arrangements and played all the instruments, always trying to keep it simple and organic.
A photographic walk through the forest close to my home accompanies this musical journey through the years, the nations and the languages.
It is a very intimate work, and I hope you will enjoy walking along with me.
— T.
