Next I'd like to play an Irish lamentation or love song.
This is a song that is [F#m] in both Irish Gaelic [B] and English
and dates from the 18th century
at a [D#] time when there was one of many conflict
between England and Ireland
and the Irish soldiers who were [D#] defeated
were given the choice of exile
or to join the [B] English army.
So they weren't executed,
but they were given this particular choice.
And this song is a song from the perspective
[C#] of a young woman whose lover has chosen exile,
so to never see Ireland [B] again.
And this is a song which reminds me very much of,
and resonates very deeply with many Tasmanians
because we have a lot of [D#] Celtic blood
in Tasmania, if you like,
and is perhaps a little bit reminiscent
of the situation with the transportation era
in Tasmania when there were many convicts
who'd been sent there.
And this is called Shule Ardron in English.
