It's on their CD titled "Mairneas". http://www.navan.org/ If you go to the website, click on "the music" Click on the CD title and then the music should load itself onto your computer. It is the last track "Navan2-14". If the titles don't come up for you (they didn't for me when I tested it), I can post or email you a list of the tracks. I only have their 2nd CD, not the first. edit - you can't get the full versions of the songs off the website.  However, "Seoithín, Seothó" does play for about 2 minutes and it's a 4 minute song. It's a repetitive chant, so you're not missing anything by only hearing 1/2 the song.
Oooo...that's a treat! I love the harmonies. I may just have to order those as a pay day treat this week.

My other favorite song on the "Mairneas" disc is "He Mo Leannan".
It's fun to try and sing that fast.  |

What's really cool is that I've found the lyrics to yet another song that I play on the whistle on the first album -- An Cuimhin Leat An Oíche Ud. I've played that air for years, but have never heard it sung.

Softly, silently, softly my darling,
Softly my baby, my dear little one
Would be a reasonable English rendition.
I was told taht the other reasonable translation for "mo leanbh beag bán" is "my fair little baby", but again, that could be a regional thing from what I understand. The band I learned it from sings traditionals from the Irish, Cornish, Bretons, Manx, Welsh and Scottish. And thank you! Something to tell my language-absorbing children!
Theres also a lovely Scottish Lullaby, and it defintiely is a lullaby, called Mo Leanabh beag Ban - My little fair babe. |
