Saint Ailbe (Irish pronunciation:[ˈalʲvʲə]; Latin:Albeus), also known as Saint Elvis (Welsh:Eilfyw or Eilfw), was a 6th-century Irishbishop, confessor, and saint. He was also associated with early medieval Wales, particularly Saint David, whom he was credited with baptizing.
The life of Ailbe is included in the Vitae Sanctorum Hiberniae (VSH), a Latin collection of medieval Irish saints’ lives compiled in the 14th century. There are three major manuscript versions of the VSH: the Dublin, Oxford, and Salamanca. Charles Plummer compiled an edition of the VSH based on the two surviving Dublin manuscripts in 1910. William Heist compiled an edition of the single Salamanca manuscript in 1965. Oxford professor Richard Sharpe suggests that the Salamanca manuscript is the closest to the original text from which all three versions derive. Sharpe's analysis of the Irish name-forms in the Codex Salamanticensis showed similarities between it and the Life of Saint Brigid, a verifiably 7th-century text, leading him to posit that nine (and possibly ten) of the lives were written much earlier, c.750–850. Further material is provided by the lives of related saints such as Patrick. All include numerous miraculous events and obvious inconsistencies and anachronisms.
Ailbhe is an Irish name. It was originally a male name, and was frequently anglicized as Albert (a name to which it is etymologically unrelated), but is now more commonly a female name. Famous bearers of the name include:
Give a little hope to our love I wish, I wish Rain could wash your tears away Give a little time and give a little hope to our love Seit Tagen ist mein Leben Für mich ohne Sinn Beweg' mich nur im Kreis statt zu dir hin Weil ich weiß Wie enttäuscht du von mir bist Und ehrlich: Wie hab' ich dich vermisst Du sprichst kein Wort Kein Ort, der nicht nach dir schmeckt Und weckt ein Gefühl, das in mir steckt Dich zurückgewinnen - neue Pläne spinnen lass uns doch noch mal von vorn beginnen Love is like a smooth summer rain I wish that you'll be back again Holding back the good times Forget about the past Won't let you down Sag nicht was du willst Sag mir, was ich hören will | Won't let you go - Sag mir, dass ich ein Teil Aus deinem Leben bin | Won't let you cry! Dass ich dir fehle - dein Gewissen quäle Bereit' dem ein Ende - bereit' dem ein Ende I wish, I wish I could take your fears away Love and hate Is tearing us apart Komm' zurück zu mir I wish, I wish Rain could wash your tears away Give a little time And give a little hope to our love Ich geb' dir all die Zeit und dauert es ein Jahr Ich will nie wieder gehen, ich bin für dich da Und immer schon gewesen Nur konnt' ich's nie zeigen Nun lass mich nicht auf ewig leiden Ein kleines Abenteuer Ist ein Feuer, was schnell verglüht Wer einmal lügt, sich selbst betrügt Ich will's nie wieder wissen Hab' dein Herz zerrissen Will zurück zu dir, dich nie mehr missen Love is like a smooth summer rain I wish that you'll be back again Holding back the good times Forget about the past Won't let you down Sag nicht was du willst Sag mir, was ich hören will | Won't let you go - Sag mir, dass ich ein Teil Aus deinem Leben bin | Won't let you cry! Dass ich dir fehle - dein Gewissen quäle Bereit' dem ein Ende - bereit' dem ein Ende I wish, I wish I could take your fears away Love and hate Is tearing us apart Komm' zurück zu mir I wish, I wish Ich wünsch es mir so sehr Rain could wash your tears away Give a little time And give a little hope to our love Es tut so weh I wish, I wish I could take your fears away Love and hate Is tearing us apart Komm' zurück zu mir I wish, I wish Rain could wash your tears away Give a little time And give a little hope to our love Für unsere Liebe
