2. My favorite song in Irish Gaelic, Clannad, Dealramh go Deo

   Nach cuma cá háit a théim,
   i mbaile nó i gcéin,
   ‘s mé ag éisteacht le ceolta mo thíre
   Le mothú, brón is brí
   Cuir lúcháir ar mo chroí
   ‘S tú ceol mo shinsear ‘s mo shaoil romham

   Though I go here or there
   to home or far
   I hear the harmonies of my country
   Laden with emotion, sadness and freight of meaning,
   it fills my soul with deepest joy
   The harmonies of my ancestors and all that came before.

3. I suppose the Pogues are the odd man out here because it’s likely you’ll listen to their albums on other days of the year as well.Report

4. Mouth Music, Whaling Ship.

   And in her heart she knows that he would defend her
   And travel far and wide to be by her side
   And calling out his name, she longs for the winter
   And for the day that he would walk up the lane

   For he’s away on a whaling ship
   For he’s away on a whaling ship
   And it was bound for Greenland
   For he’s away on a whaling ship
   For he’s away on a whaling ship
   And it was bound for Greenland

   And on a whaling vessel he set sail from her
   She hid her tears from him and laughed at the rain
   But now the earth is dry and the acres untended
   And many thieves and outlaws walk up the lane

   For he’s away on a whaling ship
   For he’s away on a whaling ship
   And it was bound for Greenland…Report
