Mo ghrá den chéad fhéachaint thú, a Eileanóir a Rún Is ort a bhím a’ smaoineamh tráth a mbím ar mo shuan Mo ghrá den tsaol ’s a chéad searc Is tú is deise ná ban Éireann. Curfá A bhruinnilín deas óg, is tú is deise, milse póg Chúns a mhairfead beo beidh gean a’m ort Mar is deas mar a sheolfainn gamhna leat A Eileanóir a Rún. Bhí bua aici go meallfadh sí na héanlaith ón gcrann ’S bhí bua eile aici go dtóigfeadh sí an corp fuar ón mbás Bhí bua eile aici nach ndéarfaidh mé ’Sí grá mo chroí is mo chéad searc. Curfá An dtiocfaidh tú nó an bhfanfaidh tú, a Eileanóir a Rún? Nó an aithneofá an té nach gcáinfeadh thú A chuid den tsaol ’s a stór? Ó tiocfaidh mé is ní fhanfaidh mé Is maith a d'aithneoinn an té nach gcáinfeadh mé. Curfá Translation: First glance love, Eileanór my love You weigh on my thoughts when I am sleeping My one love, first love The finest woman in the land. Chorus Fair young maiden of the dearest sweetest kiss As long as I live I will love you For I’d gaily walk the calves with you Eileanór my love. She could charm the birds from the trees And raise a cold body from death And another gift that I will keep secret She is my one love, my first love. Chorus Will you stay or will you go, Eileanór my love? Or don’t you see the one to never fault you You rock my world, a stór I will come but not stay To see the one who would never fault me. Chorus Translation: Dairena Ní Chinnéide

ANAMNESIS is an album of sean-nós songs by singer Síle Denvir. Produced by John Reynolds, this album is a journey through song with the creation of a meditative, evocative soundworld.

SEAN-NÓS, meaning old-style, is a traditional way of singing in Irish. The songs on this album are from Connemara in the west of Ireland. They are rooted in the old bardic tradition, and although from another time and space, these songs tell stories of the eternal human condition – stories of love, life and loss, and everything in between. Connection with land and nature are ever present in these songs, the birds, mountains, seas and rivers, laying the foundation for imagery and metaphor. The concept of Anamnesis – the idea of learning being essentially recollection, bringing to the forefront of the mind what lies at the back of it, or of recapturing a memory that we hazily retain – perfectly captures the essence of the soundworld created through this album.

Le tacaíocht ó 'Foras na Gaeilge'
