Its almost the Christmas season. Heres one of the most beautiful voices singing a beautiful poem by Máirtín Ó Díreáin and arranged by Eugene Kelly. The beautiful voice belongs to Jenny Ní Ruiséil. I dont speak a word of Irish, but this music goes straight to the heart. Listen and enjoy along with me. ------------------- An Invitation to Mary Do you know, O Mary, Where you will go this year To look for shelter For your Holy Infant, At a time when every door Is shut in his face By the hate and the pride Of human kind? Be pleased to accept An invitation from me To an island in the sea Far away in the west: There will be bright candles Lighting in every window And a turf fire Blazing in the hearth. ©: Máirtín Ó Direáin (1910 – 1988), the great poet from the Aran Islands, wrote the poem ‘Cuireadh do Mhuire’ at Christmas, 1942.
