Altan is actually the real deal Celtic women added the band... but you have to remember how they started which was years before the "Celtic Women" cds came out...

It literally means seaweed, and it is quite possibly describing fools in this song.

Celtic woman really is a gimmick. Haha my mom likes them though. You know Altan is closer to the real deal when on their CD's they list all the different titles of the folk songs that have passed down, and when they play their own instruments. :)

wish i had been at cambridge to hear them some friends were and they said altan were fantastic, quality band

I realise it's seaweed but I was told it was a methaphorical comparison in the song. The foolish person was being compared to seaweed. A song about the quality of seaweed seems quite poitless & boring... Ni miste ar scor ar bith ta me cinnte nach gael thu. Is docha nach bhfuil moran again fagtha agus nios lu aris a eisteann la gceol fein ach go raibh maith agat ar son do chuid gluaireanacht.

The very word 'Dulaman' means, literally 'seaweed.' The chorus translates: "Seaweed of the yellow cliff, Irish seaweed. Seaweed from the ocean, the best there was in Ireland."

Seaweed from the yellow cliff, Irish seaweed, seaweed from the ocean, the best in all of Ireland |
