    Produced by County Down singer/harper, Brona McVittie, Sé features close-harmony arrangements of songs in Irish, Scots Gaelic, Manx, Welsh, Cornish and Breton dialects, brought to life through the dulcet tones of Alli Buhagiar, Sonja Byrne and Ciara Holland. The languages of the six Celtic nations evolved as branches of ‘old Celtic’, spoken millenia ago by tribes who lived, loved and laboured across Europe from the British Isles to Gallatia. The group brings new life to old Celtic songs about one-horned cows and gigolos, blackbirds and bogeymen, drinking and debauchery, ardor and arable farming.

    Includes immediate download of 12-track album in your choice of MP3 320, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire.

lyrics

Qui veut chasser une migraine
N'a qu'à boire toujours du bon,
Et maintenir la table pleine
De cervelas et de jambon.

L'eau ne fait rien que pourrir le poumon,
Boute, boute, boute, boute compagnon,
Vide-nous ce verre et nous le remplirons.

Le vin gouté par ce bon père
Qui s'en rendit si bon garçon
Nous fait discourir sans grammaire
Et nous rend savants sans leçon...

Loth buvant dans une caverne
De ses filles enfla le sein,
Montrant qu'un sirop de taverne
Passe celui d'un médecin...

Buvons donc tous à la bonne heure
Pour nous émouvoir le rognon,
Et que celui d'entre nous meurre
Qui dédira son compagnon...
