Traditional Irish Jig Medley: Geese In The Bog / The Wind That Shakes The Barley
updated
And I dreamed of leavin' my Newfoundland home,
The hardships my father had faced on the sea
Was not a life I was planning for me.
I wanted to ramble and always be free
And this little island was no place to be,
I was down on my luck and afraid of hard times,
I packed up my bags and I left it behind.
I was out in the world and content just to roam,
I wandered away from my Newfoundland home,
Miles from my family and friends dear to me,
I sat there for hours and think of the sea.
The years passed so quickly and I have grown old
I've spent my life searchin' for silver and gold,
But of all other places I've seen in this world
There's no place compared to our own priceless pearl.
I lay here so feeble now, miles from my home
My journey is over, no more will I roam,
I picture the hillside, overlooking the sea,
Resting in peace there forever I'll be.
From the album "Down East Boy".
Saltwater Cowboy and all,
But the one i am singing i think you will like
The Mainlander Newfie it's called
He's worked on the mainland for thirty odd years
And he's all tanned up with the sun,
But now he's retired and he's livin' back home
And i don't think he's havin' much fun.
The Mainlander Newfie he's freezin' to death
It's still just a 12th of July,
When September comes he'll be stiff as a board
By November he'll wave us goodbye.
The summer's been good but he still feels the cold
His blood hasn't thickened at all,
And he still wants to stay with his family and friends
And we're hopin' he'll make it till fall.
We took him to Torbay to watch the ball game
And the fog rolled in from the bay,
He shivered and shook and his tanned face turned blue
It's over,he ain't gonna stay!
The Mainlander Newfie he's freezin' to death
It's still just a 12th of July,
When September comes he'll be stiff as a board
By November he'll wave us goodbye.
From one of Lloyd's oldest recordings "Looking Out To Sea".
Iomradh is tarraing is gearradh a' bhiathaidh,
Coma leam leabaidh no cadal no biadh
Gum faigh mi mo lìon an òrdugh.
Tha 'n geamhradh cho fada 's an gaillean cho cruaidh,
Droch shìde le cabhadh, clach-mheallain is fuachd,
Cha mhòr tha chur-seachad aig balaich 'an Ruaidh
Ach cèilidh is bualadh eòrna.
Fàilte gu fearann air balaich an iasgaich
Iomradh is tarraing is gearradh a' bhiathaidh,
Coma leam leabaidh no cadal no biadh
Gum faigh mi mo lìon an òrdugh.
Bidh riasladh is màladh air ràmh agus cliabh
Gun iaradh no tàmh eadar àiteach is lìon;
Thug Cailean a làmh dhomh nam pàigheadh an t-iasg
Gu faodainn Cairistìona phòsadh.
Fàilte gu fearann air balaich an iasgaich
Iomradh is tarraing is gearradh a' bhiathaidh,
Coma leam leabaidh no cadal no biadh
Gum faigh mi mo lìon an òrdugh.
'S i leabaidh as fheàrr leam na gàbhadh nan tonn
Tha plaide mo mhàthar 's mo làmh fo mo cheann,
Nas fheàrr na bhith lapadh ri fasgadh nan crann
Ag èisteachd ri srann nan ròpan.
Fàilte gu fearann air balaich an iasgaich
Iomradh is tarraing is gearradh a' bhiathaidh,
Coma leam leabaidh no cadal no biadh
Gum faigh mi mo lìon an òrdugh.
Siud agaibh na balaich nach gearain air cruadal,
Sìnt' air a' bhalaist gun pheallaig mun uachdar;
Còignear no seisear 's an lethcheann air cluasaig,
Ulpagan cruaidhe Cheòsan.
Fàilte gu fearann air balaich an iasgaich
Iomradh is tarraing is gearradh a' bhiathaidh,
Coma leam leabaidh no cadal no biadh
Gum faigh mi mo lìon an òrdugh.
Nuair thig sinn à Gallaibh 's a thogar am bàrr,
Bheir bùth Sheumais Chaluim dhuinn preasain air dhàil;
Bidh dùil 'am bho Chailean ri feannag no dhà,
'S bheir m' athair a' phàirc is bò dhuinn.
Fàilte gu fearann air balaich an iasgaich
Iomradh is tarraing is gearradh a' bhiathaidh,
Coma leam leabaidh no cadal no biadh
Gum faigh mi mo lìon an òrdugh.
Nam faighinn Cairistìona chan iarrainn a-chaoidh
Ach bothan beag riabhach is sìoman mu dhruim
Sabhal is bàthach is stàbhag bò-laoigh,
Gearran beag donn is òisgean.
Fàilte gu fearann air balaich an iasgaich
Iomradh is tarraing is gearradh a' bhiathaidh,
Coma leam leabaidh no cadal no biadh
Gum faigh mi mo lìon an òrdugh.

The dance is from the early 19th century and is often called "Broun's Reel" and rather less often "Clean Pea Strae". The Duke in question is probably James Drummond, created First Duke of Perth by the exiled King James VII in 1695.

From the album "Back In Step - The Complete Scottish Ceilidh Dance, Vol. 2"
"Hullichan's Jig" (or "The Hullochan" or "Ruidhleadh Thulachain") comes from the south west of Scotland, but is really a version of "The Reel Of Tulloch", which first appeared towards the beginning of the last century. Though there is a tune of the same title as the dance, it appears that "The Irish Washerwoman" was always used in Galloway and Roxburghshire.

This is a very old dance, probably originally known as "Sir Roger de Coverley" from the English civil war period, but known in Scotland in the late eighteenth century as "The Haymakers". The dance was taken to New England and, slightly altered, came back as "The Virginia Reel".
The Occasionals are:
- Freeland Barbour (accordion, piano, midi piano and bass)
- Ian Hardie (fiddle)
- Kevin MacLeod (electric tenor banjo, resonator/acoustic mandolins and tenor guitars)
- Gus Millar (drums and hi-hat)
From the album "The Full Set".
This dance reached Scotland from America in the late nineteenth century and was based on "The Military Schottische" which was danced to the tune "Dancing In The Barn", hence the use of the term "Barn Dance".
The Occasionals are:
- Freeland Barbour (accordion, piano, midi piano and bass)
- Ian Hardie (fiddle)
- Kevin MacLeod (electric tenor banjo, resonator/acoustic mandolins and tenor guitars)
- Gus Millar (drums and hi-hat)
From the album "The Full Set".
This ever popular dance combines features of The Scotch Reel and Quadrille, and is known in various forms throughout Scotland, the Buchan and Shetland being particularly distinctive. The standard version appears to have been concocted by The Earl of Dunmore and some friends at Blair Castle in the 1870's.

Pjesma je sa albuma "Zastave" (2000.)
" 'Ko bi moje grijehe 'mjesto mene brojao
Kada nitko drugi ne zna gdje sam griješio
Živiš dan za danom i misliš ima vremena
Al' odjednom, iza ugla, vreba nevolja
Jer godine su stisle
I nisi više nisi za sve
Al' tješi te, kad pozvoniš
Tebi ljubav vrata otvori u san
U najljepšu pjesmu, nosi me
Gdje je zaborav,
Zapjevaj
Nije važno što znači
Kad iz srca pjevaš pjesmu
Kad iz srca pjevaš pjesma pobijedi
Stisne mi se grlo kad se vrate sjećanja
Izbor je bio moj, nema kajanja
Malo dalje vidiš i malo više znaš
Al' nisi uvijek sasvim sretan kad se pogledaš
Možda jednom netko uspije
Naći sveti gral
Al' mene to ne zanjima
Jer znam, ljubav vrata otvara
U najljepšu pjesmu, nosi me
Gdje je zaborav,
Zapjevaj
Nije važno što znaći
Kad iz srca pjevas pjesmu
Kad iz srca pjevas pjesma pobijedi..."

'S mi seòladh an-dràst' thar sàil dh'Astràilia null,
Tha 'n oidhche fliuch, fuar, 's mi shuas ga cumail air chùrs,
'S tu daonnan nam smuain, a luaidh, bhon dhealaich thu rium.
Bhon dhealaich thu rium neo shunndach m' aigne gach là,
'S mi seòladh a' chuain, 's gach uair gam sgaradh o d’ ghràdh,
Ma bheir thu bhuam fuath, 's nach dual dhomh d' fhaighinn gu
bràth,
'S gum faic thu led shùil, a rùin nach fhad bhios mi slàn.
Cho fad 's thèid mi null bidh dùil am tilleadh a-nall,
Far do dh'fhàg mi mo rùn fo thùrs am baile nan Gall,
'S thèid sinn le sunnd a-null do dh'Uibhist nam beann
Far am faigh mi ort còir le pòsadh ceangailte teann.
Nuair gheibh mi ort còir ri 'r beò cha bhi oirnn dhìth
Gun dèanainn dhut lòn gu leòr air muir agus tìr;
'S ged theireadh an sluagh a luaidh nach dèanainn dhut nì,
'S gun togainn dhut bàrr a ghràidh ged 's maraiche mi.
Ged 's maraiche mi tha sgìth a' treabhadh a' chuain,
Bha 'n iomadach àit’ is ceàrnaidh, deas agus tuath,
Chan fhaca mi ann tè Ghalld’ a sheasadh riut suas,
'S a bhean a' chùil bhàin chaidh àrach an Uibhist nam buadh.
An Uibhist nam buadh gur truagh nach robh mi leat thall
Is fàinne den òr mu d’ mheòir gar ceangal le bann
'S ma thilleas mi luaidh thar chuain an turas seo nall
Dh'Àird Choinnich thèid sinn le cinnt gar ceangal gu teann.
Gun sguir mi den dàn mu 'm fàs sibh uile dheth sgìth,
'S gun tuig sibh mo chàs 's mi 'n-dràst' cho fada bho thìr,
Ach an rud tha mi 'g ràdh, gu bràth gun aidich mi fhìn,
'N taobh tuath Loch a' Chàrnain dh'àraicheadh cailin mo

'S a Pheigi a ghràidh 's tu dh'fhàg mi buileach gun sunnd,
'S mi seòladh an-dràst' thar sàil dh'Astràilia null,
Tha 'n oidhche fliuch, fuar, 's mi shuas ga cumail air chùrs,
'S tu daonnan nam smuain, a luaidh, bhon dhealaich thu rium.

Taking me back home
Back to my family and friends
But i can't forget
The day i went away
And left my parents all alone
My sweetheart's warm embrace,
My father's tremblin' hug,
And my mother's prayers to guide me back home
Soon my sweetheart i will marry
O'er the threshold i will carry her,
We'll start a family of our own
I'm going home to County Down,
Thank God i'm homeward bound
Take me back to where i long to be,
To that friendly little county, nestled in the moors
County Down, i'm coming home, to the place where i was born
Now i'll walk your silent valleys through the mountains of Mourne
Where the river Bann journeys to the sea,
Till my darling's love will greet me,
My father's hug will meet me,
My mother's prayers will bring me
Back home to County Down.
Well, the road rose up to meet me,
My parents didn't greet me,
My sweetheart has a family of her own,
She said i broke my parents' hearts
That day i did depart
Now they are laying in the churchyard all alone,
I found no warm embrace, no father's tremblin' hug
Mama's prayers lay in that cold and lonely grave,
O' how i regret that day, but now i'm home to stay,
O' Ireland, i never more will roam.
Now i'm home in County Down,
Thank God i'm home again
Now i'm back to where i longed to be,
In that friendly little county, nestled in the moors,
County Down, i'm back home, in the place where i was born,
Now i'll walk your silent valleys through the mountains of Mourne
Where the river Bann journeys to the sea,
No, my darling's love won't greet me,
And my father's hug won't meet me
But my mother's prayers have brought me
Back home to County Down.
