Dia Dhaoibh!

An bhfuil duine ar bith familiar leis an leabhar/CD Peigin Leitir Moir (nó any of the rhymes on it)? Agus, if so, I've been wondering what this means:

Hóra, hóra, hóra, a Pheadair. What's a Hóra??? lol

And if anyone knows the words to na rannta Fuarasín, Farasín agus/nó Ríl- The Collier's

"Hóra" is just nonsense syllables...a common feature in both Irish and Scottish music.

I don't know the CD, but "Peigín Leitir Móir" is a well-known song.

"Ríl" means "reel." "Collier's Reel" is a well-known dance tune...it wouldn't have words to it.

Go raibh maith agat. I knew the words to the rhymes were long shots, and I did know that Ril meant reel (But not what a Reel was!), but I figured I'd try; You never know, right?. At least I've solved "Hóra".

Ah...reels are the heart and soul of Irish dance tunes! Usually written in common time but played in cut time (you can tell it's a reel if the rhythm is "watermelon, watermelon")

Couple of my favorite reels here:
