CD version
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
Quand j'étais jeune à dix-huit ans,
J'étais beau et galant o gué.
Les amoureuses venaient me voir,
Le soir dedans ma chambre o gué.
La plus jeune des amoureuses,
M'apporta une orange o gué.
L'orange est tombée sur mon pied,
Elle a cassé ma jambe o gué.
On fit venir un médecin
De Paris ou de Nantes o gué.
Le médecin qui me soignait,
Voulut couper ma jambe o gué.
Non ma jambe ne sera pas coupée,
Car je vis de mes rentes o gué.
J'étais beau et galant o gué.
Les amoureuses venaient me voir,
Le soir dedans ma chambre o gué.
La plus jeune des amoureuses,
M'apporta une orange o gué.
L'orange est tombée sur mon pied,
Elle a cassé ma jambe o gué.
On fit venir un médecin
De Paris ou de Nantes o gué.
Le médecin qui me soignait,
Voulut couper ma jambe o gué.
Non ma jambe ne sera pas coupée,
Car je vis de mes rentes o gué.
