Not only does the narrator of this song lose Ireland because of emigrating, but her hometown is still under British rule and does not have independence yet, so the loss is doubled. Furthermore, Carrickfergus is located in the northeastern part of the Island of Ireland, which is now part of Northern Ireland. What started out as a song about the loss of love in Irish became an English song about longing for Ireland. In Star of the Sea, a central character, Pius Mulvey, gets his start as a singer/performer (which eventually leads him to writing a ballad of his own) by singing a macaronic song.Though "Carrickfergus" and “Do Bhí Bean Uasal” are sung to the same tune, they are completely different. “The Land of the Gael” has some macaronic elements in that it has a few Irish place names in it. This type of song is sometimes called macaronic, meaning that it either is different in different languages, or alternates between two languages throughout the lyrics. And for comparison's sake, here is the first verse of the English version translated to Irish:īa mhaith liom ag snamh os cionn na farraige is doimhneĪn farraige is doimhne le mo ghrá a aimsiú And then he’s injured and drunk and roving - typical love song fare.īut here is the first verse of the Irish version:Īch go dtug sí svae léi os comhair an tsaoil. Michael’s day, and then leaving her because she has two daughters. However, it started out as a completely different song called “Do Bhí Bean Uasal” Or “There Was a Noblewoman.” There’s no really good English translation of the lyrics, but it’s essentially about a man loving a woman from County Clare, wanting to marry her on St. The deepest ocean, my love to find(And yes, there is similarity in the English version to an English folk song, “The Water is Wide,” in the second stanza that is not at all in the original Irish) The English version is the most well known today, and goes along the same vein as many of the other songs mentioned - wishing to be back in Ireland, as seen here:
