Footsteps Lyrics and music by Jack Badcock Ida's - Jani Lang You know if you're ever coming home I will take you in and tell you things you’d never want to hear, Like by now you should have worked it out and if not then I don't see how we could make it to a year. So far your hands may be clean but it’s faith I don't have in you when you're away from home ‘cos you left me drinking in the sun and I need someone who won’t just up and leave me on my own without a... Trace your footsteps, through the days when we fell apart For to learn for yourself all the ways that you lost this heart At first you left a bitter taste when you threw our love away like that But since then I've got to moving on and I try my hardest to see how it might be for the best 'cos your demons weren't the only ones to blame for tearing such a rift and finding us in such a place 'cos I can recall some things that I should've said or done but instead I find that all I can do is... Trace my footsteps, through the days when we fell apart for to learn for myself all the ways that I lost this heart If I’d known the words to say, would you take me back inside? Would you take me back inside? If I’d known the words to say, would you take me back inside? Would you take me back inside? Trace your footsteps, through the days when we fell apart for to learn for yourself all the ways that you lost this heart Trace my footsteps, through the days when we fell apart for to learn for myself all the ways that I lost this heart

Jailsong Verses; lyrics traditional, music Jack Badcock. Chorus; lyrics and music by Jack Badcock Last night as I lay sleeping I had a happy dream. I dreamed that I was standing down by the violet stream. Some pretty girl was standing by me that had come to go my bail But I woke up broken hearted all in the county jail. Then up stepped John Sherman 'bout 10 o'clock. With some keys in his pocket, some cells for to unlock. Says “Cheer you up my prisoner” and I thought I heard him say “You're bound for old Nashville, five long years to stay.” Chorus Let us ask why all this trouble I’ve been in. Look no further than the colour of my skin. You don't make it very difficult to see That locking people up is just another industry. Then up stepped my true lover with ten dollars in her hand. Says “Take this my dear Jonny,'tis all that I command. May heavens guide and protect you wherever you may go. 'Twas the devil's snatch that jury that sent you far below.” Chorus I used to wear a white hat, ride a horse and saddle fine. I used to court a fair miss, of course I called her mine. I courted her for beauty and her love to me did gain. 'till they sent me down old Nashville to wear the ball and chain. Chorus

Mother Lyrics traditional, music Jack Badcock Give me three grains of corn, Mother Only three grains of corn To keep what little life I have, 'till the coming of the morn Mother, oh I'm dying of hunger and cold, Mother Dying of hunger and cold The agony of such a death My lips have never told Mother, oh Mother, oh What has old Ireland done, Mother? What has old Ireland done? The world looks on and sees them starve Perishing one by one, Mother, oh I dreamed of bread in my sleep, Mother The sight was a heaven to see Awoke with an eager and famishing heart And you had no bread for me Mother, oh Mother, oh There's many a brave heart Mother That’s dying of hunger and cold While only across the channel, Mother Thousands are rolling their gold Mother, oh Mother, oh How can i look to you?, Mother How can i look to you? For bread to feed your starving child While you are starving too Mother, oh Mother, oh

Longside Road Longside Road - Lyrics traditional, music Jack Badcock Peace of Mind - Jani Lang (45 seconds part of track) On Longside Road I've often trod When the moon was shining clear. ‘twas there I spied another man in the arms of my dear. Another man now fill your arms Where many times I've been before. And he enjoys the favours now Which I did once, but never more. May he flourish in your arms And happy may he be. For he is innocent and ignorant of what you've done to me. You think that I could love you still But oh how can this ever be? For I am ever so resolved now to shun your company. I’m every bit as good as you And I am of as good a kin So you're as welcome to go by now as you were to come in. You have taken your own road The thing you'll one day rue. But mine’s a heart that will not break for such a one as you. If I chance to have a house A house I'll call my own. I’ll welcome in my old sweethearts for the days of Auld Lang Syne.

Arok Arok Gusztáv Balogh Árok, Árok de mély árok, Nem gondoltam, hogy így járok, De bele estem, benne vagyok, A babámnak rabja vagyok. Száraz a bokor a mezőn, Azt mondja a szép szeretőm, Elhagynálak de sajnállak, Szívem szorítja a bánat. Akárhogy fáj, én nem bánom, Hogy elhagyott az én párom, De nehezemre esik a járás, Tőled babám az elválás. Száraz a bokor a mezőn, Azt mondja a szép szeretőm, Elhagynálak de sajnállak, szívem szorítja a bánat.

about

(German text below)

"Some of the most exciting trad musicians to emerge in recent years." (BBC Radio England).

Dallahan is one of the most distinct forces in the international folk music scene. Forged in Scotland's traditional music community, but drawing on the traditional music styles of the Balkans and North America, they create an original and seamless musical montage, blending their contemporary influences from jazz, funk, and pop music. Dallahan aims to take their listeners on a journey, traversing styles and countries of the world in a dazzling live show, creating their own unique brand of World-folk delivered with stunning virtuosity.
-------------------
Mit einem wilden und halsbrecherisch unkonventionellen Mix aus traditionellem irischen und schottischen Folk, Musik vom Balkan und aus Nordamerika sowie Einflüssen aus Jazz, Funk und aktueller Popmusik, ist Dallahan eines der spannendsten internationalen Folkensembles dieser Zeit.

Das neue, mittlerweile dritte Album Smallworld der fünf Musiker widmet sich einer breiten thematischen Spannweite vom klassischen Thema der unerwiderten Liebe bis zu politischen Themen wie Hunger und soziale Ungleichheit. Musikalisch breit gefächert zeigen sich die Instrumentals: neben irischen Traditionals und Roma-Melodien stehen einige selbst geschriebene Stücke. Dallahan wurde schon als „world music festival in one group“ beschrieben – ein treffender Hinweis auf die wunderbar offene und enorm abwechslungsreiche Herangehensweise des Ensembles.

Hintergrund:
2013 gründeten Sänger und Gitarrist Jack Badcock aus dem irischen County Kilkenny und Banjospieler Ciarán Ryan aus der schottischen Region Angus in Edinburghs weltberühmtem Sandy Bell's Pub die Band Dallahan. Bei einer ihrer Sessions trafen sie auf den ungarischen Violinisten Jani Lang. So entstand der Kern des Ensembles, das mit Andrew Waite am Akkordeon und Bev Morris am Kontrabass komplettiert wurde.

Die hohe Virtuosität der fünf Musiker und ihre nicht durch Genres eingezwängte Musik brachten den fünf Musikern schnell einen guten Ruf als Liveband ein und so spielten sie bis dato viele Tourneen in Europa, Nordamerika und sogar in Kathmandu. Gemeinsame Konzerte mit dem Royal Scottish National Orchestra, der Folklegende Dougie MacLean oder dem Ensemble Kutumba aus Nepal sowie Nominierungen und Preise u.a. bei den Scots Trad Music Awards folgten.

2014 wurde das Debütalbum 'When The Day Is On The Turn' veröffentlicht und vom Rezensenten des Magazins fRoots als “the most exciting Irish music I’ve heard in a long time“ beschrieben. Nach Veröffentlichung des zweiten Albums Matter Of Time 2016 spielte Dallahan sagenhafte 103 Konzerte in sieben Ländern.
