Bernard Black, An Cat Beag

Bernard Black, an cat beag

just came across this beautiful rendition of siúil a rúin by irish-palestinian artist roisin el cherif. this song has always been close to my heart, especially after it's use in the nightingale, a film that explores the (ongoing) colonial violence on the island that i call home.

i really love the way that she weaves the arabic language into this song, as well as the influences from both irish and palestinian styles of music.

all the proceeds of the release are being donated to the doctors without borders gaza emergency regional fund so if you love her rendition as much as i do i would really recommend purchasing it on band-camp (i've linked it above).

What is the d' in d'ól?

The d´ in d'ól (drank), d'fhág (left), d'ith (ate) and so on, is a contraction of the past/conditional particle do. You may be wondering why you don't see the particle before other verbs, and in fact, it's still used sometimes before consonants in munster, so you get things like do bhíos ann (I was there), do bhí fear ann fadó... (long ago there was a man...)

It's not used before consonants really in the other dialects or in the standard, so why is that? Basically it's because the effect it causes (lenition) makes the past tense clear anyway, and it was an unstressed particle, so it's easy to skip over in speech, so in most places "do bhí" just became "bhí".

But in the case of vowels, because it doesn't add another syllable, it was preserved.

If you look at older texts (around the 1900s even) you'll often see *do* written constantly.
