Sean-nós nó seanscoil?

Just for fun, here are some lyricí as Gaeilge. Can you identify the original song?

Amhrán 1:
Fuair muid an grá in áit gan dóchas.

Amhrán 2:
Tá cloch coisire sa teach anocht
Bíodh craic ag 'chuile dhuine
Agus cuirfimid faoi deara go caillfidh tú d'intinn
Bíodh craic ag 'chuile dhuine

Amhrán 3:
Tá na cnoic beo le fuaim ceoil

Amhrán 4:
Anois 'is arís smaoinim faoin ám a bhí muid le chéile
Mar cén am arsa tú gur chomh sástá leat go meadh tú ábalta bás a fháil
Dúirt mé liom go raibh tú ceart liom
Ach bhí mé uaigneach leat
Ach an grá a bhí ann agus is pian gur airím fós

Feel free to try some of your own. The translations don't have to be good -- often it's funnier if they are painfully literal.

Actually that was the only one I got.

Although number 4 sounds kinda familiar.

You're doing well, guys!

#4 is extra hard because I gave you a verse rather than the chorus. Here's a hint:

Anois, níl tú ach duine éigin a bhí aithne agam air.

"Now you are just somebody that I used to know." I think that is a great line; what a put down!

Here's a hint on amhrán #2: Bím ag shuffláil gach lá.

After that hint, I have to guess.. 'Party Rock Anthem'. :darklaugh:

Well done, pennyrat!

OK, someone give wombat some amhráin to guess.
