Hi All!
I am searching for a translation for a songtitle - maybe someone can help me?
It's a song by Warren Barker and it's called "Deir'In De". Browsing a number of Irish dictionary websites I came to guess that it might mean "End of the day", or "At the end of the day". It's in a songbook about old-days Irish lullabies. Our brassband here in Germany is playing it and we just would love to know what it means.
I'd appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks so much! |

Deirín Dé
I don't think it means anything, it's a lullaby and the "Deirín Dé" is just some nice sounding words for the refrain. |

Ní dóigh leat, a Aonghuis, gur é "Little Herpe of God"? |

Nach dóigh leat, a DBT, go bhfuil síneadh fada ar lár agus gurb é "God's little dairy" atá i gceist?

Tá an dá leagan feicthe agam nuair a chuaigh mé á lorg.
Ach anois nuair a smaoiním air "Déirín" atá i mo chluas.
Ach deir an Dálach gur "Deirín Dé" atá i gceist:
"(words used in) a child's game played by twirling a glowing stick"

Thanks so much, everybody! (Even with a German response!)
No wonder I did not find any fitting translation...
You have a great website!
Best wishes,
Sibylle |

Agus seo iad na h-aistriúcháin:
(Und hier sind die Übersetzungen!):
I dtuaisceart na Gearmáine:
(Im norddeutschen Raum.):
"La-le-lu".
I ndeisceart na Gearmáine:
(Im süddeutschen Raum.):
"Abba haidschi bum baidschi".
(Irgendwo in Texas hat man einmal zu oft "Derring-do" dazu gesungen, leider.)
Is geal leis an bhfiach dubh a ghearrcach féin.
