End of Sic bed

Post Tue Mar 21, 2006 9:21 am

At the end of "Sic bef of Culculain" at the Live album " Across the broad atlantic", Shane is mumbling something I don´t understand.

Can somebody here please translate it?

No, it's not on the original. It's just something he says after the song finishes on the live CD. I agree that it sounds Gaelic but have absolutely no idea what it is he says.

Haven't got that cd to hand but I think that's the song where he says "Carry on (something) and shhhucking each others dickshh.." afterwards..

The last few syllables sound like...

".. go mo chroí seo.."
or
".. gur m' chroíse .."

...still trying to decode... may be Shaneglish after all...

And what would these be in English?

Not that it matters much, I can't understand most of his English comments either, just idle curiosity.

The second one might be something like "....that (as in, in order that) MY heart....."

Níl Gaeilgeoir dúchais mé. I'm not a native speaker or even a very good one, I'm just trying to translate this quote (if it is, indeed, a Gaelic quote at all). It does sound quite a bit like something in Irish, but I am unsure as to whether Shane speaks any Irish at all other than Póg mo thóin of course. I'd love to find out first-hand one day. One day.

Hi there
It sounds like the typical shaneglish "choc-ice McShane cu-creesha" (not to sure of the spelling of that last word) just like at Montreux "Sieg-Heil and romance " never the less a brilliant concerts :D
