What Shocked

No way!

40!!!

I would mention RM here again or maybe SD but I think if I mention their age again as being old (especially RM) they will fucking kill me for telling them that Laughing

Anyway what's that saying? You are only as old as the woman you feel:lol:

Laughing Nothing really. Just trying to wind you and RM up a little! Smile

Come on Julie you know I don't drink and I expect everyone else here to be sober just like me! Very Happy

O.k. thanks to me this thread is going way off topic. (therefore Julie please don't reply to that statement Laughing )

Ahem. Very Happy

Still 4 songs left folks! Come on now, I KNOW some of you know these! SD, you know like everything, and this is your thread anyway, so wassssup.

Hints: The singers for #5 and #7 have the same first name, and its a very Eirrish name!! #7 was a bit of a one-hit wonder, at least in the USA. #10 is by a folky group who were bigger in the 70s and 80s. And #2 was a huge worldwide hit, for ferk's sake!


2.
And if there's no tomorrow
And all we have is here and now
I'm happy just to have you
You're all the love I need somehow


5.
Do you remember, the night we were lost
In the shade of the blackthorn, and the chill of the frost
Thanks be to Jesus, we did what was right
And your maiden head still, is your pillar of light


7.
We were dancing in the middle of the desert
You said we'll burn under the hot sun
I said i'd rather be the colour of pleasure
Than watch like you from under the thumb



10. Hint: Barry Lyndon
Ta bean ab fhearr liom no cath is cead dhiobh nach bhfagham go deo
Is ta cailin speiriuil ag fear gan Bhearla, dubhghranna croin.

(english translation)
There's a woman I'd prefer more to a battalion,
and a hundred of them I will never get
And an ugly, swarthy man with no English has a beautiful girl.

===============================

And yes I'm 40, will be 41 in May, and age is all relative. In some ways, I'm going on 19, and in some ways, I'm going on 55. What-evuh. I'm also a lot yuhnger now than I was when I was married and in my 20s. Wink

(Níl a fhios agam) about any of the others.. Laughing or how to speak Irish as good as you Shocked

RM before when I was talking to you (a few months back) I presumed you were either looking up an Irish phrase book or something or else had some sort of online translation but I don't think that's the case. How do you speak in Irish so well?

Were you born here or did you live here for a while? Maybe in the west were is is still spoken a lot? Galway or Sligo maybe? Or maybe you emigrated to America?

I live in Dublin and guess what... "I can't understand a bleedin word you're sayin to me man, allroigh?" Laughing ...Well bits and pieces here and there maybe.

I learned it in school somewhat but only very basic. It's sort of a thing that people do every now and then to say a phrase here and there. Sometimes if I am tired I will say "tá mé ag dull go dtí mo leaba" or if it is cold outside "tá sé an fhuairr" etc. (I probably made a spelling mistake and now you are going to correct me? Laughing )

When I was in school also it was a thing teachers would do. Sometimes they would have a conversation in Irish so the students wouldn't fully know what they were saying. I used to hate that. Twisted Evil Laughing

O.k. RM Reveal yourself!!! Eh, not literally of course just about the Irish speaking thing please.

Oh dear. Oh dearie dear. Och.

Sorry Este-Van, but yeah, all I do is look up gaelic on websites. I'd love to pretend I don't, and I'd love to speak gaelic (either Irish or Scottish), but the mact of the fatter is that I only speak one language -- English. Sad, isn't it. Embarassed

So no, I won't be correcting you or anything. I do know a couple words of gaelic here and there, like I do for about 10 other languages.

I will say that I am really really jealous of the fact that you live in Dublin, the dark pool. Great, great town. Loved doing pub-crawls until daylight. Slattery's, Davy Byrnes, Conways, etc etc etc. So easy for you to get the best beverage on the planet: Guinness, draught, in a real pub, in Ireland (must be all 4 to qualify as the BBotP). Yes, I've rambled around much of fair Eire, but not often enough, darn it.

One of my favorite Irish toasts. Translation:

May those who love us love us.
And those that don’t love us, May God turn their hearts.
And if He doesn’t turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we’ll know them by their limping.

Ohhh, man, #5 is right on the tip of my tongue, Ramblin'...I am sure it is something I should know - maybe even one of my favorite...but, since I am 40, as well, me mental faculties ain't what they use to be. Rolling Eyes But, I can honestly say that I can do `other' things much better now than before. Cool The future Missus will attest to this!

Gnome, I'm sure you'd rather have a woman on the tip of your tongue, yes?? And hmmm, those axes look darn familiar ... perhaps from a place I wish I had time to go to. Too many forums, not enough RM. Sad Sorry amigo.

I'm ending this Eirrish one because I want to do another, if SD doesn't mind. Yes, that's right, all of these bands/performers are/were from the Emerald Isle. Shocked

1. U2 – Who’s gonna ride your wild horses? Este-Van grabs numero uno.

2. Corrs - Breathless The fact that no one got this seems to speak volumes as to how many people actually look at this thread. Embarassed Maybe I've alienated many of SD's insatiable throng, I'll try to do better. This set was for that "young Dubliner" anyway. Razz

3. Cranberries - Ode to my family Esteban gets 1/2. Oh hell, I'll just give him the whole dang point, he'll need them all when he goes to Boston. Wink

4. Boomtown Rats - I don’t like Mondays. That wild Irish rogue again ... may your mouth be wet Esteban! Laughing

5. Sinead O’Connor - I am stretched on your grave Using the lyrics from "Nothing Compares 2 U" would have been too easy. Anyway she has an AWESOME voice and her first album -- I do not want what I haven't got -- is a classic that will stand the test of time.

6. Van Morrison - Into the mystic. Good job Spawn of Satin. One of Van's most romantic songs, and for anyone who lives in the Bay Area, go see his daughter, Shana, perform live. She is fantastic, and has a more bluesy voice, kinda like Melissa Etheridge and Joan Osborne, but with a folksy twang. After a show back in 2000 (in Mill Valley, CA), I kinda asked her if she'd like to go out sometime. Bitch shot me down. Twisted Evil

7. Sinead Lohan - No Mermaid A US one-hit wonder from 1998, but RM loves chick-rock. I think she was popular before that though in Ireland doing a cover of Mr. Dylan's "To Ramona" -- are you listening SD?

8. Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak. Another one for the young Dubliner, Este-van. Phil Lynott, the Irish bloke who started TL and who wrote most of their songs and led the group, was underrated -- possibly because he was a real oddity: an Irish black man in the mostly-white world of 70s hard rock. And, he played the Bass, not either of their twin wailing geetars. Sadly, he died way too early, like many of his peers, at the ripe old age of 35, in 1986. Yep -- alcohol, heroin, cocaine ... the usual. Sure and begorrah he's up there wailin' away on his bass with all of the others (Hendrix, SRV, Syd, Kurt, etc etc). Trust me when I say I bet he was welcome to that party.

9. Pogues - Fairytale of New York. Great job, Baralis. Very Happy

10. Chieftains - Women of Ireland

"May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you."

"May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human
and enough hope to make you happy."

p.s. SD you okay with me doing another which will be very different?

Re: No. 2 The Corrs - I can't stand them! Glad I didn't get that one! They are just too squeeky clean and family friendly or something... too wholesome... do you know what I mean? Ughh and that Jim Corr guy... I would just like to go up to his house and knock on the door and punch him straight in the face sometime! Twisted Evil

Phil Lynottt "Philo", now he is the man! On Grafton Street (one of our main shopping streets in Dublin) there is a statue of him now! I would go up to that and pat him on the head and say "Good Man Philo". Actually I think I will next time I am in town!
