Údaraithe ag RTÉ do Chomoradh 1916 – déanann Music Makers cur síos ar an mbladhm a lasadh i 1916 agus a scaip ar fud an domhain trínár n-amhrán agus ár ndamhsa – is sine, na Gaeil, #MusicMakers an domhain.
Commissioned by RTE for the 1916 Centenary – Music Makers describes how in 1916 we started a fire which spread throughout the world in our song and dance – we, the Irish, are the #MusicMakers of the world.
She’s the lily of the valley,
A shawl to break the storm.
Three colours on her shoulders,
To keep her warm.
Chuaigh sí suas ag eitilt
‘s las sí suas an spéir
‘s d’ardaigh na croíthe
‘s bláthadh na síolta a cuireadh fadó
CÚRFÁ
We are the Music Makers,
We are the dreamers of dreams.
Yet we are the movers and shakers,
Of the world forever it seems,
Of the world it seems.
Ag cuimhniú siar ar an mbladhm, ach le fís,
Réidh le breathnú ar aghaidh, seasamh suas aríst.
Las(faidh) muid an oíche, le bród inár gcroíthe,
Seo ‘nois ár ré
CÚRFÁ
Seo ‘nois é,
Tá muid ag cuimhniú siar ar an mbladhm,
Ach anois le fís,
Fís le bogadh ar aghaidh ‘s breathnú ar aghaidh
le go seasfadh muid suas aríst
Lasfaidh muid an oíche,
Le bród inár gcroíthe
An lasfá liomsa é?
Fuarthas spreagtha don amhrán ón dán aithnidiúil ‘Ode’ le hArthur O’Shaughnessy.
