Siúil a Rúin - Ella Roberts 

I very much and very strongly second that opinion. 🎵🎶🎵

What about the whole universe Captain?

I don't want to diminish the beauty of her voice, but have you heard all of the world's female singers to make such strong claim?

the most beautiful among the ones you've heard

Thank You for the informative post.

I am SO glad it doesn't translate to still a ruin!

Thank you ❤

Very beautiful melody and a beautiful woman singing it. She sounds like a angel. I've learned how to play this song on a penny whistle. Thank you

close its more along the lines of the flight of the wild geese. Where in the treaty of Limerick some 12,000-20,000 (depending on source) soldiers of Ireland agreed to leave for military service in mainland Europe in exchange for guaranteed rights for the Irish back home after the Williamite War. Patrick Sarsfield signed it and shortly after signing the French fleet showed up to help the Irish, although Sarsfield refused ro continue the fight despite outcry believing in honor, and believing that he had negotiated a treaty to respect the rights of the Irish people and that it would be upheld. It never was, within weeks the British tore it up, replaced the protected rights with penal laws stripping the Irish Carholics of their land and removing every right of citizenship. "I’ll sell my rock, I’ll sell my reel I’ll sell my only spinning wheel to buy my love a sword of steel" She proclaims her willingness to virtually go broke in order to support her beloved and his new life. I’ll dye my petticoats, I’ll dye them red and it’s round the World I will beg for bread until my parents would wish me dead. The Irish brigade of France wore vivid red uniforms to show their support for the Catholic Stuarts. So she was wearing the colors that her beloved was wearing in the Irish brigade to shoe her support for him, all while having been stripped of her own citizen rights and being forced to beg. He didn't choose to leave, he was made a permanent exile. She was willing to give her life for freedom and love. It's a bittersweet hopeful cry that her lover will one day return, but knowing it is not likely That's the more traditional belief on it here

Siúil, siúil, siúil a rúin "Go, go, go my love" Siúil go socar agus siúil go ciúin "Go steadily and go softly" Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom "Go out the door and run away with me" Is go dté tú mo mhuirnín slán "May you go, my dear, safely"

Thank you!

@@cam4636 you read my mind. Slàinte!

THANKS

@@cam4636 it's writing on the description 👍🏻

Aww we love you too!! 🇮🇪

Denke ich auch :-) !

Glad you enjoy our country. I know a few Germans living here and they are great people

Go raibh míle maith agat ❤🥰🙏😍

I was born and raised in Ireland. It is such a special country. If you haven’t been I highly encourage you to go. Not to all the cities, but to the countryside, it is the most beautiful of all, especially the Wicklow mountains and glendalough, where this was filmed. It’s magical.

No, she's australian. Irish and scottish heritage.

Tony Molloy Australian whatttt 😱

Greetings from America, Based Poland. Fight on.

@@tonymolloy6165 We are all Gaelic friend. Cheers.

I have many heritages but also Irish and Scots Irish surname great grand mother was surname was Mcintire, some from Northern Ireland and Tyrone. I have Anglo-Saxon ancestors on this side of the family also surname Heath and Fennel (From America ). Then I found a surname Mordah (Mordha), Murray, and Carr. Then on another Meredyth on other sides of my family but not sure, and a Cosby of Queens ireland on the same side. and a Sikes (Lancaster or York), and Moore which is Irish similar to Mordha, but a Rowe (French origin) also. Though I have many heritages Anglo-Norman ( Danish and maybe mixed being decendent from comtes) and also Southern and Central Italian DeBartoli, De Sanctis or Santi. I like all of them.

Clannad also sang it very well. I first heard it from her and When you hear it in her version it's hard to prefer another version that slightly differs yet both a tem are enchanting. 🍀My father's grand-mother was Scot-Irish, of Patterson and McPherson lineage. 🍀🦄

Same! I want this song played at my funeral.. my Jamaican relatives are going to learn about Celtic culture by hook or by crook!☺️💚

Celtic is not Irish, it is Celtic. A culture shared by Scottish, Irish and Welsh plus some others.

She has a beautiful voice & captures the emotion of this bittersweet folk song extremely well.

@@Ryzoft I think I have some Celtic in me, according to my DNA report; I ALWAYS knew about the Irish American in me.

Why we are always on the drink lol

Hospitality? Hostility? I guess it depends what was going on and what you did!

It is up to 31 but I dinna fash about it. That means there are 31 anti-Scottish arseholes in the world and you what that means.....WE SCOTS STILL OUTNUMBER THE JAMMY BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!! :D. Cheers boss.

@@jamesms4 Well, she is Australian and the song is Irish, but yeah, f*** anyone who doesn't like Scotland! Just because. Cymru am byth and other non-sequitur nonsense.

Maybe it was the English???

Yes, both.

@@Vesnicie Alba gu brath !!!

Rainbow Flower 🇯🇲

Tears.. I hope that love finds you again someday, in whatever form, and that it renews your hope in love 💖

carla tebet thats the wicklow mountains on the east coast of ireland .Vikings show was filmed there

It won't, because we have the internet

@@RainbowFlowerCrow unfortunately he wasn't talking about the song

@@kyzantia8884 the singer will be immortalised as well, perhaps not in her entirety but more than most

What do you mean "if"?

Only half of them. The rest speak Icelandic.

Yes I thought the same thing

if? who do you think the tuatha and the shide are?

This is Scottish Gaelic not Irish.

I’m such a big fan of yours!

Yuck wtf are you.

Maria, Bravehearth, was filmed in Scotland and Ireland, mostly Ireland, Trim Castle and the Curragh inCo Kildare! Alot of people taught it filmed in Scotland, great for the tourist industry!

Thank you very much for the tip 😊. I really should look at Braveheart and travel there also in the future . Thanks Thanks also for a great video. ❤

Same 💚 Much love from a Jamaican Canadian ☺️💖

LA Critzer brought over there by the Scots Irish probably. Sláinte from Dublin ☘️

A german band called 'Faun' sang it too, with german lyrics but not exactly the same meaning. I think. It is called 'Wilde Rose'.

Awesome.

I remember that from the old Peter, Paul & Mary album: it wasn't until I read Joyce's "Ulysses" that I understood some of the chorus...

There are many tunes from Scotland and ireland which have carried on in Appalachia, often with a change of lyrics and timing from 6/8 to 4/4. I'm from the foothills of Appalachia myself.

My roots lie in scotland, and holland, but this song takes me to lands I can only dream of.

I’m an Irish-Latina and I’m not deeply connected to my Mexican roots Irish music is just pure magic and these visuals are stunning

Mean it ............a studio holiday......no need for vocal tuners........ ....

@@dr.maguriandoctor652 right? I have chills. So many goosebumps ☺️💞💚

bla blub i chuckled when I read this. I am quarter German and the rest is all Scottish and Irish. My parents used to always talk about my grandfather who was full blood German and how he was always so stoic. They said “That’s just how the Germans are,” when telling me how they are outwardly unemotional. So it must be quite a song if it can get to a German like you! LOL 😄

bla bub Thats filmed in the wiclow mountains in ireland and the language is irish gaelic nothing to do with scotland

That's Irish though, not scottish (btw I'm also German)

gallow glass Scots Gaidhlig is our sister language, I can communicate with Gaidhlig speakers speaking the Ulster Gaelic dialect and surprisingly phrases from the Waterford dialect. Far back in time it was the same language.

gallow glass Gallic and Gaeilge languages are closely related.

I’m from the us too, Austrian Russian and Scottish 🇺🇸🇦🇹🇷🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💕 but I love Celtic music

Glad that you enjoy our music but, no matter whether your maternal grandmother was half Irish (?) or not, you are AMERICAN!

David nice．

Music knows no boundaries, friend...

An Indian too here, I am a huge fan of all the Irish jigs and fiddles ...try listening em, you'll fall in love, like this amazing song.

I am descended from the British Isles & Gaelic is unknown to me. Don't feel self conscious.

@@kerriwilson7732 I'm certain the Gaelic population is largerly western Scotland, ie western isles and west coast. Largely with an older generation (grandparents-great grandparents) who english, although in the highlands it is sometimes taught in schools. I think it has been added to duolingo, so it might get a slight boost in popularity yet. As for the Indian comments, I found an article with someone born or living in Scotland attempting to learn their families language (hindi) and noting speakers mix words lost on them in hindi- technically 'hindlish' I suppose. Reminded me of older relations who keep mixing up english and gaelic in the one sentence as their mother tongue is partially lost on them. (text only, google A’ghailleann” On Language-Learning )

You may want to avoid calling Ireland part of the British Isles...

Her ancestors were forcibly sent to Australia. Some of my families were as well. Sad! (Sun 21 Mar 2021 19h07)

Just like me 😊 I am Irish Scottish Australian! Our history is still young and we are still very connected to the homelands! ☘️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

She also lives in Ireland.

She’s very Irish by the sounds of it

Who cares, we all are humans and only this matters!
