Looking forward to learning the songs with Bite Size Irish.
I have been learning one song at the Online Irish Music Academy: “Deoindí ó deighdil dum My love is so nice,
Deoindí ó deighdil dum and I can’t give her up
Is deoindí ó dí ó deighdil dum.
Deoindí ó deighdil dum and my love is as proper,
Deoindí ó deighdil dum as a glass in an ale-house,
Is deoindí ó dí ó deighdil dum.
Deoindí ó deighdil dum ‘s aren’t nettles and yellow flowers
Deoindí ó deighdil dum growing in the place my house used to be
Is deoindí ó dí ó deighdil dum.
Deoindí ó deighdil dum uour foot is love of my heart
Deoindí ó deighdil dum is and it dancing to the tune
Is deoindí ó dí ó deighdil dum.
Deoindí ó deighdil dum love of my heart is the one
Deoindí ó deighdil dum I haven’t seen since yesterday
Is deoindí ó dí ó deighdil dum.
Deoindí ó deighdil dum it’s many twist and turn
Deoindí ó deighdil dum in your heart that I haven’t uncovered
Is deoindí ó dí ó deighdil dum.
Deoindí ó deighdil dum and my love is as heavy
Deoindí ó deighdil dum as a stone you’d throw in a ditch
Is deoindí ó dí ó deighdil dum.
Deoindí ó deighdil dum and my love told me
Deoindí ó deighdil dum not to heed the liars
Is deoindí ó dí ó deighdil dum
Its funny that i sought out an Irish music academy online to learn the Bodhran and Tin whistle. Then months later i came across an Irish language course online at FutureLearn and later Bite Size Irish … then like i said elsewhere on your site; i found out after telling my parents what i have been doing, that i am an Irish descendent … greatgrandparents on both sides of my family. I was obviously attracted to the Irish music and language for a reason
Hi Anne-Marie, very interesting to see your curiosities play through the Irish language plus through Irish music.
I had not come across https://www.oaim.ie/ before, thanks for sharing!
