Gaeilge Song Lyrics And Guitar Chords

As Gaeilge/Gaelic Lyrics And Guitar Chords. All the songs in this section of the site are in the Irish language and are some of the most popular Gaelic songs in Ireland. Guitar chords are in chordpro format. I have received lots of requests for guitar tabs in Gaelic, no other site was doing it and there are no music books available which exclusively give chords and lyrics so I decided I'd give it a try. If this section encourages you to learn even one song in Irish then it is worth it. Marc Fahrbach has given me great encouragement and has added most of the guitar chords. I hope to add more songs in the near future. Most of the tunes are traditional songs and have being brought back by Altan and The Cassidys

Gaelic Lyrics And Chords
The vast majority of songs in the Irish language have a very distinct style that is very different to songs
in the English language. Most of the songs in the English language are strongly influenced by the folk/ballad form and are usually written as straight forward narrative, the songs in Irish are usually more lyrical in form and often only hint at the background story of the song subject.

This is usually because songs in Irish have absorbed more stylistic features from the old poetry.
Many songs in Irish are deliberately vague or even ambiguous. They may open with a question, such as ''A Bhuachill An Chuail Dualaigh'' where the first line is ''Where Did You Sleep Last Night ''

The identities of the main people in the song may be confused and in many cases the details of a relationship are not given. In most parts of Ireland what were known originally as songs are now played as tunes. The reason is because of the huge decline of the Gaelic language that happened after the great hunger
of 1847 /52 [So Called Famine]. In many of the Irish speaking [Gaelteach] areas the lyrics are still sang.
