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 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.

Title A name given to the resource Boatmen that Are Gone Author: Kit Ennis Singer: Tony Malone Subject The topic of the resource Theme: Local Event Description An account of the resource Location: West Carlow, Barrow The title says it all: looking back at a way of life and of work that are gone, the Barrow boys are no more. The author, Kit Ennis, was a lock keeper at Tinnahinch lock (Graiguenamanagh) in the 1920s. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource The Boatmen That Are Gone Now the Grand Canal is just the same old winding waterway But it’s old time navigators are now moldering in the clay Those gentle old world boatmen who sailed those waters o’er They have departed on a voyage from which they’ll come no more Though they are gone they’ve left us a memory sweet to save While summer breezes whisper round their narrow silent graves May they be with their Master and Heaven’s light shine on Those one time hardy sons of toil the boatmen that are gone. Out on that dreary Grand Canal when winter wind did blow And swept before it’s icy blast the frozen flakes of snow When others could lie down and sleep, tucked warmly in their bed The poor old boatman got no chance to rest his weary head And through the cold dark winter night out in snow and rain No shelter on their watery way, each side an open plain Exposed to all the elements they worked their boats along And kept their drooping spirits up with a good old Irish song. With hearts within their bosom that knew no art or guile With honest faces that always bore a kindly welcome smile Hearts that will never beat again, may the clay lie lightly on Those poor toil worn bodies of the boatmen that are gone Their lonesome cold and bitter life with cheerful hearts they bore And for their loved ones left at home no men could suffer more ‘Till Saint Michael sounds his final call we cannot look upon Th e faces of those friends of ours the boatmen that are gone. I miss each old familiar face that has been cut away Like the bloom of early summer that autumn winds decay Their sins against the Father e’er He on them did call Th e lives they led on earth may they atone for all Now all you men you men who boat, remember ever more You’ll sail out on that same old track your father sailed before And just like them will come the day for you to sail out on That trip from which there’s no return, like the boatmen that are gone.

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.

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.

AN LONDUBH IS AN CHÉIRSEACH (scroll down for translation) Tá an londubh is an chéirseach, is an fhuiseoigín le chéile, Is an smóilín binn bréagach ina ndiaidh i ngach aird, An chuach i measc an méid sin ag seinm dánta is dréachta Do chúl trom tais na bpéarlaí is do mo chéad míle grá. Dá mbeinnse i mo smóilín do leanfainn tríd an mhóin í, Mar is ise bláth na hóige a thógfadh suas mo chroí. Ó bheinnse ag seinm ceoil dí ó mhaidin go tráthnóna, Le ceiliúr binn á cealgadh is le móráil dá gnaoi. Is trua gan mé is mo shiúirín is barr mo láimhe dlúth léi, Go seinnfinn di go súgach ar cheolchruit go sámh; A lao, nárbh aoibhinn domsa dá bhfaighinnse cead bheith ag siúl léi, Is a rún mo chroí, bí ag súil liom le héirí don lá. The Blackbird and the Song Thrush The blackbird and the song thrush and the little lark together, And the sweet voiced little thrush following them every way, The cuckoo among them playing poems and little ditties To your damp pearly hair for you are my first love. Were I a little thrush I'd follow her through the meadow, For she is the bloom of youth who would lift up my heart. O I'd be playing music for her from morning to evening, With a sweet melody celebrating her and praising her looks. 'Tis a pity I'm not her little sister and the top of my hand tight in hers, That I as if drunk might play for her on a tuneful harp with gentleness; My darling, wouldn't it be my delight if I'd be allowed to walk beside her, And, o you love of my heart, be waiting for me as the day is dawning.
