Very interesting that they use a mixture of Scottish Gaelic and Irish! It’s sung mostly in Scottish Gaelic but there are a few verses in Irish (the easiest way to tell the difference is the direction of the accents; if they’re leaning left like a ‘grave’ then it’s Scottish Gaelic, if they’re leaning right like an ‘acute accent’ then it’s Irish)
For me , Niamh has way a better voice. She's the one you fall in love with. Ireland FTW seriously, what a gal - wonderfoul voice and astonishing presence. First of all very very talented vocalist.
There aren’t that many cultural emeralds like Gaelic languages, are there? Once one of the biggest folks across Europe, now - almost extinct, but survived Rome and Latin language. I am in awe of the Scottish, Welsh and Irish cultures.
I love this, I'm American with Scotish and Irish roots. As most here I don't have much a connection with Ireland or Scotland. Gaelic is a beautiful language, and you all have beautiful voices! Great job!
This particular rendition transports me to another realm. What mesmeric voices and talents. I’m truly grateful to have stumbled upon this treasure, this is the type of music that lives on forever. Go raibh mile mile maith agat
So much music out here in the USA is so very compromised, homogenized, commercialized, and whatever. There's some very deep roots set here with this music and while very old comes across to me as so refreshing. Thanks to everyone involved, my sincerest compliments to all of you.
There is no greater compliment than to see you were transported back, even if it was for the briefest of moments. Our culture binds us together and no ocean or distance can break that bond.
It isn't very often that a song can take me completely away to another time and place, but this one certainly does! What an amazing song and talent! So much love for these ladies!
As an American born Norse-Gael, this type of music is almost as if my ancestors are speaking to me from across the oceans of time. I may not have been born in Éire, but she most definitely lives in my heart. Go raibh míle maith agat. Sláinte is táinte.
You would still be very at home in Ireland. I am Irish born myself and and I am of Norse and Celtic blood like yourself and so many of the Irish race, the product of many Norse invasions and settlements over the centuries. For instance, the Cities of Dublin and Waterford were originally Viking towns and my surname O'Rourke was originally derived from the Royal Norse name hRothekr. My ancestors came to Ireland about 4,000 years ago from Skandenavia. So the Norse/Celtic link is very strongly historic.
@@hughneek12 I'm a Cullen myself. Clan Cullinane originally came from a small village that was eventually annexed by Norse Dublin. Seems our forebears were neighbors.
@@SkunkApe407 My Family shared half of the princedom of Breffni with the O'Reilly clan, in the west of Ireland, we had about 15 Kings of Ireland down through the centuries and we travelled about a bit for one reason or another, so members of both our clans surely met up, or indeed could have been long term neighbors down through time.
I too am a Canadian of Norse-Gaelic ancestry. I've done a DNA test which showed my Irish/Scottish with Scandanvian ancestry. I can only imagine my 16th or 17th or whichever great grandmother sitting around a fire in the 11th 12th or 13th century singing this song. Who was she? Did she know that some 700 -800 years later she would produce me? I wish I had a time machine to go back and observe her.
Listening to this music makes me long to travel to Ireland. To the country where I feel like I'm coming from. Even as a child, I felt connected to this country. Even though I am Swiss, I live and grew up there. Thank you very much for this musical art.
Thank you so much and I appreciate your support. here is another song with translated lyrics you might enjoy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uAjrq3GCQ3s.html
What a beautiful song. Such a good performance, lovely for the ears :) The voices a soo gooood especially the second Singer the beautiful lass with the darker hair she has a voice to die for or more so to life for it has such an inner strenght. Thank you for this. Things like this is what make life worth living :D
These singers are magic, perfect harmony respectful timing with each other and delightful quality to their voice - a real treat. I would only ask that they deserve to have their names published , we can say we first heard ...... on the internet.
I have to have my monthly fix listening to this. Linda and the girls sing it so well. Love the way the first part of the song is sang over one chord then the effect when different chords are played behind the melody are entrancing. Wish I knew what tunings and chords the guitar is playing there, and what the harmony breakdown is. Just wonderful.
The musical arrangement and the harmonies of those four beautiful sirens are just 👌 would love to get the guitar tabs and tuning for this and Eleanor na rún 🙏
Pat on guitar looks like he's lookin forward to that beer, after being up since 6 a.m. working on the arrangement. if we can just finish this damn take. 'Crikey! another verse.... Declan on hurdy gurdy looks like he'd go a pint sooner rather than later. ty 4 gr8 music. The ladies taking the lead and nailing it.
I am so happy that RU-vid put this in front of me. I can feel my soul reach as I listen to this even though I don’t know a word of Garlic other than how to speak me name in it. I use me in reference to meself as a note of respect for me ancestors. I would love to find time to learn to use Gaelic. That language should never die.
I'm assuming that a man originally wrote and sang this song judging by the lyrics and as such I'd love to hear the male rendition. These ladies all have stunning voices, make no mistake in that.
Beautiful song and performance. Thanks for sharing. Original version probably finished some minutes ago. This looks like a repeated loop x 3 for some reason via video edit. Either way, more is more. ty 4 music
I love this song but I miss the version of this session where there's a second song. Trying to find it, but if anyone has the link handy, much appreciated
Again here for the queen's birth of her 3rd son of twins love you little brother of kings born ..thanks again for your time an effort my friends from a mongrel by standing 😢
you can tell between the Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic. While the Scottish Gaelic is 'singsong' , the irish is more flat. still love hearing both in song
