go raibh maith agat! is breá liom é!

Well, you're right. In both places she sings "Tá mé idir grá," which makes absolutely zero sense (idir grá agus ceard?) but there it is.

Her articulation is positively dreadful...the Irish is easier to follow than the English. But after a listen or two I'm 100% positive.

Perhaps it's meant in the sense of "among(st)", as in something like "surrounded by love".

I don't think so. I listened to the song again and it really sounds like she's singing "Tá mé í tír grá" in one verse and Tá mé í tír gró" in another. Although I don't know if ghró (or gró) is even word. I would like for someone to listen to the song and see what they think.[/quote]

im really new to being able to pick out what i hear but i /think/ i heard what you said red wolf with the first and second being different

So in English, she sings "I am between love?" Huh.... Well anyways, what do you think what she sings right after the second Mó grá? To me, it sounds like "Tá gró," but I don't even know if gró is even an actual word.

I think you accidentally grabbed the wrong quote, Saoirse227. I didn't say the above. I said I was certain she's singing "tá mé idir grá."

I'm not hearing "Tá mé i dTír Ghrá": She's not pronouncing a long "í" in "tír," nor an aspirated "g" in "grá."

"Idir" would be an odd way of saying "in the midst of/surrounded by" Looking at listings at Teanglann.ie, even when used to mean "among," there is a strong, clear indication that you are "between" multiple things or people ("idir bhéilí," for example -- "between meals -- or "idir chairde" -- "among friends."

idir ghrá is what I hear as well. It isn't the fact that her articulation is awful, her pronunciation is fairly poor as well!

All her -d' s are pronounced as Hiberno-English -d's.

I think its just meant to sound good, rather than make sense.

I was thinking of her articulation in English, actually. It's easier to understand her Irish, even though her pronunciation is pretty bad.

Can anyone interpret what Saiorse sings right after the second "Mo ghrá?" It sounds either like "Tá gro" or "Tá ro."

What time on the clip does the line come up?
