I'm looking for someone who is a fluent Irish Gaellic speaker to help me...?

Question

The song is "Croí Cróga" by Clannad...It's been very difficult to find the lyrics and I couldn't find any translation.=(

Answer 1

I can help you.

You should post the lyrics here or in the languages section there are a few Irish speakers on here.

Well Croí Cróga is courageuous/brave heart. Do you have a link to the irish words cause ive never even heard the song.

I was listening to it on youtube while translating and i think some of the lyrics you have are wring so i put my translation and what i thought it should be in brackets. Hope it helps. Also Eamonn is a nmae but its probably supposed to translate to King Edmund or King Edward. I left it as Eamon.

The King of Scotland died alas

Without a son in this life

A man came from the south

The one King Eamon

Oh, Cruel pagan (Ó can mean oh or from)

The crowd fought

Nobility to commoners (i just listened to the song andi think the lrics shoud be ísealeacht)

Between themsleves (this should be eadrainn féin)

Made to forget forever

'bPatronach féin (im not sure)

This legend

The King perished

Without a son in this life

Eamon had a title

The Scottish fought

The soveriegn people

Between themselves (eadrainn féin)

Champion  (curadh not Coireán not sure about this go scithiúil)

South of the war (im not sure aboutthis its not the lrics you have but im not sure what they saying)

Champion with a soul

Champion without respect/manners

Hanging thirty

Thirty without nobility (gan not den)

Nad a boy who was young

Cruel heart

Living legand

D'fhaiscigh an mhaorgacht (not sure what this line should be its sound like something about the major and information)

From the words of the Scottish

Six years were brave

Brave enough/alot

Sacrifice this hand (im not sure is hould be láimh but not sure what it is)

Too complicated, too sad

They shouted their freedom

The man was brave

Brave heart
