Hello everyone!
On March 17 we're going to celebrate Ireland's National Day, St Patrick's Day. A very important festival to Irish people in Ireland and those expatriate living abroad.
One of the most exciting things about Irish culture is music and on this day, thousands of Irish people worldwide meet in the pub singing to the sound of traditional Irish folk music.
How about preparing for the occasion with some great music?
One of the greatest Irish folk bands of all time are The Dubliners. Their repertoire is massive, yet one of their most popular tunes is the folk classic Whiskey in the jar.
This video shows a live performance from 2007. The Dubliners are alive and kicking and the audience is having a real good time!
You can download the lyrics from this link: Whiskey in the jar lyrics.
If you prefer, you can watch this video in case you feel like singing along as if you were in a karaoke.
I also found some good stuff on youtube especially for those having trouble with this quick song (I hope you are not a little tipsy by now). Below, there's a brilliant translated video to make things easier:
Whiskey in the jar (Spanish subtitled). (Video opens on a different window)
Such a popular song was made into a lot of versions. One of the most popular ones was by Metallica and you can watch how Dubliners go crazy when the song begins.
I hope you enjoy this post. In the meantime:
SLAINTE!!!!!
