Barron Singers: Carlow Storytellers Description An account of the resource Location: County Carlow CHORUS Óro, Ár gcultúr gleoite, (our beautiful culture) Óro, our culture’s growing, Óro, ár gcultúr beomhar, (our living culture) Alive and beo in Carlow. (well) They tried to take our culture from us, Tried to force their culture on us; But our fathers placed a geasa on us: (obligation) To save our ancient ways. CHORUS They told us that we had to change, To leave our past on a previous page; But we’ll save our ways for the coming age: We’ll save our ancient ways. CHORUS The rambling house was the place to meet But in recent years its fate looked bleak; Some kept our old Way’s heart abeat And saved our ancient ways. CHORUS They thought we’d fade with modern fashions We love our culture with great passion; We’ll always care for our great tradition And we’ll save our ancient ways. CHORUS ________________________ The Celtic Irish oral tradition of music and song has faced many challenges to its survival, from Penal Laws to changing trends and fashions. At one time mocked and derided, it was always kept alive in the rambling houses and by people who loved their traditions. Now, the ancient culture is growing strong again, not only holding its own but growing in popularity. The song Óro, Sé Do Bheatha ‘Bhaile was about restoration of freedom and culture; it seems appropriate to match these words with the old melody. CURFÁ Óró ár gcultúr gleoite, Óró ár gcultúr spleodrach, Óró ár gcultúr beomhar, Beo faoi bhláth I gCatharlach. Ba mhian leo ár gcultúr a mhagadh, A gcultúr féin a bhrú orainn, Ach chuir ár sinsear geasa orainn: Ár sean oidhreacht a shábháil. CURFÁ Chuir siad brú orainn chun athrú, Sean stair ár dtír a thréigean, Ach tá ár stair I seilbh againn Do glúnta óga nua. CURFÁ Ba theach bothánaíocht áit cruinniú, Le déanaí bhí a ról ag laghdú Ach choimeád laochra an seancleachtadh Chun oidhreacht sean a chleachtadh.

Barron Singer : Eric Butler Air: Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore Description An account of the resource You ask me why some people try to be better than the rest When underneath the fancy clothes we’re all the same undressed; Big house or farm or costly car, that’s what we call success: True values lost, and at what cost, in the rat race of excess. And then there’s why some people try to own all for themselves, Be it land or gold, new wealth or old, life’s all about one’s wealth; While many starve under cold stars: no house, no bed, no food; It’s hardly fair the rich don’t care when we’re all just passing through. You wonder why some children cry, their lives devoid of joy While others feast and grow obese and ease fills up their lives; Poor children weep in broken streets, their families scattered far; No peaceful sleep, no glow of hope shines with each morning star. You ask me to explain to you skin colours that we wear, Why some think they’re superior to those of different race. White or black or yellow hue, or any shade between, When we’re pierced and then we bleed it’s all red blood we bleed. You question why under God’s sky so many creeds proclaim To be the one and only way, Man’s destiny and Fate. They talk of love and dignity but bring hatred to our streets: If only they would walk the talk and practise what they preach. Subject The topic of the resource In Harper Lee's great novel, To kill a mockingbird, Scout is a young girl with all the perceptive inquisitiveness and honest questioning of a child. The persona of Scout is borrowed to question some aspects of today's world.

Barron Singer: Tony Malone Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available From Carlow Streams Language A language of the resource English Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Lyrics: I once was a house, more a home, Where my families felt safe and secure; Now they’re scattered all over the globe And I’m left here lone, broken and poor. My roof that once sheltered them all Now lies broken and bare to the sky; No rafter or thatch now at all, Thorn and ivy grow chimney stack high. My walls once were sturdy and strong, Now they’re crumbling, like old broken bones; One time whistling the family song, Now the wínd whines, so lonely: sorrow! My windows are shattered and gone, Poor, blind, sightless eyes to the sky; Long ago they glistened and shone Like my childrens’ bright eyes inside. My hearth now lies empty and cold Where once my fire glowed so bright; My chimney where once warm smoke flowed, Now a tombstone for times long gone by. Yes, I once was a home, a warm place Where my families enjoyed happy days; Now they’ve parted and gone their own ways And I’m cold here, a lonely old place. Subject The topic of the resource All across the country are empty, derelict houses that once were vibrant centres of family life. What stories might those old ruins tell, if they could speak!

Barron Air: Táim i mo Shuí Táim i mo Shuí: I am sitting. The pace and complexity of our modern world is often too much for us. The distress and strain of life fragments our sense of wellbeingng; our human nature is dismembered. We are unhappy and discontented. We need to make time for ourselves to recreate our selves, in all our human potential and richness. We need to sit, to take time to allow our human nature reconnect with God’s Nature, to allow Nature to restore us towards our full humanity. Lyrics: When the scream of the city has dazzled and frazzled my brain And the strain and distress everyday seems just the same I return to Nature seeking escape from the race And make time for my mind to refind my senses and soul. When my eyes are scarred by the grasp of the screen’s gaudy glare, Tv, PC, iPhone and iPad all reign the same, My eyes seek the green, the azure, the purple, the grey And make time for my mind to refind my senses and soul. When my ears are numbed by the drum of the city’s loud wail And the voices all talking at me are dazing my brain I long for the whisper of wind or the lapping of lake And make time for my mind to refind my senses and soul. When the fumes of the city pollute my nostrils and skin And the stench seems to ooze from every pore in my being I seek the embrace of wild wave or high mountain wind And make time for my mind to refind my senses and soul.

Barron Air: Sé Mo Laoch (Mo Ghiolla Mear) Sung by Mary Butler Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available From Carlow Streams Description An account of the resource Dado’s**** Song ( Amhran Daideo) Chorus Gasúin Óg* you melt my heart; Torthaí glúine imithe, thart**; Bring me joy and pride and hope; Síol na nglúine le teacht fós***. Cailín Óg, you light my life, Beaming through the fog of life, Piercing gloom with your coy smile, Charming my old heart with joy. Find a man who’s true to you; Together see life’s voyage through; Be aware of both your needs, May ‘Fulfill each other’ be your creed. Chorus Buachaill Óg, you are my pride, Strong in limb and swift in mind; You are the minder of our blood: Grow wise and brave, be kind, be good. Find a wife, respect her well, Avoid the loud and gaudy girls; Keep her safe, make her smile; Meet both your needs, all the while. Chorus May old age see you safe and sound With friends and family all around, Admiring all you have achieved, And your heart content with all your deeds Gasúin Og, you bring me hope That age is more than tattered coat; I will be more than old scarecrow: My ageing heart restores its glow. Chorus *Young Children **Fruits of generations gone, finished ***Seed of generations still to come **** Daideo, ‘Dado’ = Grandfather Subject The topic of the resource Theme: hero, love, family hopes. Se Mo Laoch is a song about heroes. Heroes give us joy and pride and hope: we celebrate with joy at their victories; we take pride in their deeds; we take hope from their potential to overcome adver-sity. Grandchildren also bring those gifts of joy, pride and hope to grandparents. Having experi-enced what’s important in life, grandparents wish fulfillment and contentment for their grandchildren. This happiness can be found through caring and fulfilling relationships, something all humans need and that grandparents wish for their grandchildren. It is fitting that the traditional air be given these new words about its original theme.

Barron Air: THUGAMAR FÉIN AN SAMHRADH LINN Performed by the Carlow Storytellers Description An account of the resource Lyrics: The seed in the soil creeps up to the light Seeking new life in Springtime cold; The slow beat of life shows green, shows white, Growing new buds in flower and grove. The flower, bud and leaf then burst into life, Pulsing with sap as Springtime thrives; The riot of life leaps up to the sky; Lush life from the sun; bees fill hives. In full Summer bloom all Nature’s in tune, God’s bounty fills each vale and hill; All fish, flesh and fowl, bole, branch and flower Thrill to the sound of stream and rill. And when Autumn’s here the earth’s in good cheer Sharing its wealth of fruit and grain; The barns all full, the year’s nearly done, God’s gifts replenished all again. In late Autumn sun the earth’s work is done, Energy spent, it’s time to sleep; The leaves and flowers return to their bowers, Feed for the seeds in Winter’s keep.
