Ballinasloe

Ballinasloe /ˌbælɪnæˈsl/ (Irish: Béal Átha na Sluaighe, meaning "ford mouth of the hosts") is a town in the easternmost part of County Galway in Ireland. It is regarded as the largest town in Galway with a population of 7,674, which includes Ballinasloe Urban and Ballinasloe Rural.

Name and history

The town developed as a crossing point on the River Suck, a tributary of the Shannon. The Irish placename – meaning the mouth of the ford of the crowds – reflects this purpose. The latter part of the name suggests the town has been a meeting place since ancient times. The patron saint of Ballinasloe is Saint Grellan, whom tradition believes built the first church in the area at Kilcloony. A local housing estate, a GAA club, the branch of Conradh na Gaeilge, and formerly a school are named after him.

October Fair and Festival

Every October, Ballinasloe is host to the ancient annual October Fair. Chiefly agricultural in the past, it is now focused on the horse. The Ballinasloe Fair is one of the oldest horse fairs in Europe; bathed in history it dates back to the 18th century. Today the ever popular fair is still held, along with a festival that attracts up to 100,000 visitors from all over the world. The town also boasts a successful summer festival called An tSúca Fiain.

ballena azul

by: nose quien y los nose cuantos

soy una ballena de color azul
mi espalda sopla y tu
besas esa fuente de agua limpia aún
nuestra casa abierta alli en el ancho mar
viajavamos en paz
sin manchas de petroleo que evitar
busco un sitio puro donde descansar
no hay muchas como yo
me tengo que cuidar de ti
nubes blancas, cielo transparente, piel humano compartiendo con otros
sueño que quiza ya no regrese
pues ya es tarde para todos nosotros
Soy el condor majestuoso del peru
mi cuello gira y tu
me miras con ojos de luz
busco un sitio alto donde recordar
que hubo un tiempo mejor
pues como yo no quedan mas
si tus hijos te preguntan como fui
no se que les diras
me tuve que alejar de ti
cordilleras blancas dominando
todo ser que alimenta del rio
hombres en aldeas cultivando
sin decirle al campo dame lo que es mio
estas equivocado, no sabes donde vas
no te asustes si tu nieto te pregunta que hiciste con el amigo gabilan
estas equivocado, no sabes donde vas
guanacos,osos panda,renos, aguilas, delfines y todo lo demas
estas equivocado no sabes donde vas
estas equivocado no sabes donde vas
estas equivocado no sabes donde vas
un espiritu ronda por la selva llorando lo que fue el jabuar
estas equivocado no sabes donde vas
bienvenido al mundo del hombre construido con detergentes y tambien con alfitran
soy una ballena de color azul
mi espalda sopla y tu
besas esa fuente de agua limpia auuunnn
