Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dinny the Piper From: SDShad Date: 14 Jul 00 - 01:36 PM "A phád raig a mhic," according to this blicky. I think the "mhic" is pronounced more like "vhick," but Aine'd be the one to ask about meaning and pronunciation. Chris |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dinny the Piper From: SDShad Date: 14 Jul 00 - 03:29 PM Dunno, Clinton. I've used my "phone-a-friend" lifeline for it, and PM'ed Aine. So, how long does a spell of Aine-summoning take to take effect? Chris |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dinny the Piper From: Fergie Date: 14 Jul 00 - 03:30 PM It Means "Patrick my son" Paudraig pronounced paw-rick is a gaelic form of Patrick. a mhic means "my son" but not necessarily in the literal sense more as a term of friendlyness to any male. Ferg |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dinny the Piper From: MMario Date: 14 Jul 00 - 03:43 PM so it's the equivilant of "Paddy me boy"? |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dinny the Piper From: Áine Date: 14 Jul 00 - 04:19 PM Maith thú, a Fhergie! Sin direach é. And MMario, it means 'Patrick, my son' and not 'Paddy my boy' . . . unless you want to sound silly. ;-) And Chris -- Sorry I didn't get the PM sooner, or I would have hopped on my broomstick immediately! Slán, Áine |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dinny the Piper From: MMario Date: 14 Jul 00 - 04:28 PM Áine - I meant that it was being used in a non-literal sense; as there are some people who call all younger males sonny, or those who call all young women "sweetie" or for that matter some women who call everybody "honey" --so instead of just plain "Patrick" it was a more affectionate but not literal term okay - I just read the lyrics more carefully; it is father and son... |
