Is Fada Ó Bhaile

Listen to the song
Recorded by: Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh
Written by: Trad. Arr., Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh / Ann Björg Lien
A song of unrequieted love, where the young man’s message to his loved one to meet at a secret location, is intervened and concealed by her parents…heartbreaking stuff. My friend AnnBjorg Lien, from Norway accompanies me with her hardanger fiddle on this track which gives it a melachonic atmosphere.

Amhrán a fuair mé ó Annie agus Cití Eoghain Éamainn ó Dhobhar , Gaoth Dobhair. Is iad san a choinigh na h-amhráin beo sa taobh seo tíre agus a mbuíochas sin daoife.
