lyrics

Tráthnóna Beag Aréir


Thíos i lár an ghleanna, tráthnóna beag aréir
Agus a’ drúcht ‘na dheora geala ‘na luí ar bharr an fhéir,
‘Sea casadh domhsa an ainnir ab áille gnúis ‘gus pearsa,
‘Sí a sheol mo stuaim ‘un seachráin, tráthnóna beag aréir.

Do chiabhfholt fáinneach frasach, do mhalaí bhán, is do dhéad,
Do chaolchoim álainn mhaiseach agus glórthaí caoin’ do bhéil,
Do bhráid mar chlúmh na heala, do shúil mar réalt’ na maid’ne
Ó ‘s faraor gur dhual dúinn scaradh, tráthnóna beag aréir.

Agus a Rí, nár lách ár n-ealaín ‘gabháil síos an gleann aréir,
Ag éalú fríd an chanach agus ciúnas ins an spéir,
Órú, a rún mo chléibh, nár mhilis ár súgradh croí ‘s nár ghairid,
Ós a Rí na glóire gile, tabhair ar ais an oíche aréir.

Dá bhfaighinnse arís cead pilleadh ‘gus labhairt le stór mo chléibh,
Nó dá bhfaighinnse buaidh ar an chinniúint, char mhiste liom fán tsaol,
Shiúlfainn leat fríd chanach, fríd mhéilte ar chiumhas na mara,
Ó ‘gus dúiche Dé dá gcaillfinn, go bpógfainnse do bhéal.
Agus a Rí, nár lách ár n-ealaín ‘gabháil síos an gleann aréir,
Ag éalú fríd an chanach agus ciúnas ins an spéir,
Órú, a rún mo chléibh, nár mhilis ár súgradh croí ‘s nár ghairid,
Ós a Rí na glóire gile, tabhair ar ais an oíche aréir.

McDonnell Music Rennes, France

La légende des McDonnell commence avec Michael, le père, dans le pub familial du comté de Kilkenny. Élevé à la musique traditionnelle irlandaise, il vogue vers la France et y nourrit deux fils, Simon et Kevin, d’un mélange de ballades folk et de bluegrass. Au son du banjo, de la mandoline, de la guitare, de l’accordéon et du bodhran, cette trinité musicale révèle un véritable gospel irlandais... ... more
