[@Helianer]

Still waiting on a cover of "I am a Rover"

[@_gowowuw]

How I wish you would sing hells comes with me live 🙏

[@amelielaparo4765]

Noble maiden fair in Gaelic!!! It's lullaby of Brave movie Disney, the songs are incredible ! Watch the Malinda's cover...Please please please dear Colm🙏🙏🙏 and all you wants metal version songs , Savage daughter for exemple! It will be incredible !❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@thelastactionandrew9561]

Rainbow connection in any style you want please!😊🎉

[@Helianer]

"Good Luck to the Barleymow" would also be greate

[@Jinx-z2g]

Hearing him sing in Irish is probably one of the best things in the world 😍

[@itsallconspiracy2035]

Gaelic. ❤

[@itsallconspiracy2035]

@Kieran0410 I do what I want 🙉🫡

[@Kieran0410]

In ireland we call it Irish, or Gaeilge. Gaelic is what uneducated plastic paddies (mostly Yanks with dubious connections to Ireland who are big fans of their police forces and the IRA at the same time and dont see the obvious cognitive dissonance in doing so). So please ignore morons who tell you its Gaelic.

[@Kieran0410]

@itsallconspiracy2035 OK guy, you're entitled to be wrong I guess.

[@ANNEKE1999]

Oh yes, another beautifully sung Irish song 😍 "Mo ghille mear" would be so awesome!

[@DiaJasmineFlanary]

Second that!

[@seanhalloran8677]

Lyrics: Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom I wish I were on yonder hill 'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill, 'Til every tear would turn a mill, Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán. Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán. 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. Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán. Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán. I wish, I wish, I wish in-vain I wish I had my heart again And vainly think I'd not complain Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán. Translation: Go, go, go, my love Go quietly and go peacefully Go to the door and fly with me And may you go safely, my darling

[@tehwhaffle3088]

thank you!

🙏 Thanks! Was hoping I'd find a comment like this.

[@Wencby]

Thanks

[@donnaj9964]

Thank you!

[@lazygamer7469]

Thats a lot of consecutive vowels, yet im hearing one syllable?! Somewhere along the passage of time, 2 possibilities exist - the monks were bad spellers OR the locals had lazy tongues. Still an enchanting language nonetheless.

[@artimex723]

Everytime I listen to traditional Irish songs, I feel patriotism towards the country, even though I have nothing to do with it. Such an amazing and rich culture.

[@amonrawya3064]

I'm a Scottish Gaelic speaker and I always enjoy listening to Irish because it's just close enough for me to understand but distant enough for the difference in pronunciation to make my head spin 😂 this is beautiful! Deagh ghuth a th' agad!

[@lomionaredhelion]

Since you speak Scottish Gaelic, I'm curious: what does Canadian Gaelic sound like to you? It's spoken in Nova Scotia and is rooted in Scottish Gaelic

[@amonrawya3064]

@lomionaredhelion It sounds quite strange, mainly due to the accent. The dialect is also quite different in a lot of ways. It takes me a while to tune into someone's voice and understand them 😂 but I think it's quite wonderful really

[@DreamyAileen]

@@lomionaredhelion TIL Canada has a dialect of Gaelic, very epic

[@lomionaredhelion]

@@DreamyAileen If my memory serves correctly, Gaelic was the third most spoken language of what then Canada by the time of the Dominion (1867). Unfortunately, the language is in a dire situation today as it only has a handful of speakers (same for Acadjonne (Acadian French spoken in NS) and Mi'kmaq). Newfoundland Irish was also spoken in the past, but died out last century. The hegemony of the English language is rough :( But the cultures and history of Atlantic Canada are 100% worth learning about!

[@lomionaredhelion]

@@amonrawya3064 That's interesting. I did expect the two languages (Canadian Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic) to drift apart like other colonial languages (French, Portuguese, English, etc.) did over the centuries. Does it sound intelligible, or Canadian Gaelic would be too different from Scottish Gaelic to converse with?

[@GentrifiedPotato]

Your singing is a warm balm in these uncertain times. Thank you for putting such beauty into the world.

[@LucionFrostBurn]

Irish is such an under-represented language and it's always a treat to hear it. Thanks for this. ❤

[@NathanielTavington]

I remember teaching myself this song when I was a kid in the 90s, early 2000s. Obsessed with Riverdance and Celtic Woman. Absolute joy to hear one of my favorite trad songs in your Very Handsome voice. Thank you for the smile today, I very much needed it.

[@LeahLovesNature]

I don't speak a word of Irish, but your voice and the instruments hit me right in the soul. This is just what I needed today. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

[@charmanderlover6433]

I really needed this today. The past week has been pretty rough and the first and third verses really hit me. My dog and best friend of nearly 12 years had to be put down last Thursday. And I'm away at college, so I didn't get to say goodbye... and I've just been struggling to cope with the fact that the one friend I could count on always being there for me for the majority of my childhood is now gone. Your music has been a warm soothing hug to my broken heart and has helped soothe me to sleep during restless nights. I know there's a lot of comments on here, so I don't know if you'll see this one, but I really just wanted to thank you for this beautiful cover, and for all of your music. It means a lot to me and countless others as well, I'm sure. ❤

[@donnaj9964]

Wishing you peace and warm memories.

[@unijade]

I'm sorry for your loss, friend.

[@vivienneokeeffe]

What a blow. I am sending you a huge virtual hug. This is cruel. Just know your dear friend went happily over rainbow bridge. You poor soul xxxx

[@retriever19golden55]

What an awful loss, and worse for you because you couldn't be there. I'm so sorry.

[@NobodyC13]

My 15 year old cat passed mid-October. I had him since my senior year of high school and it hurts that he's no longer here. He was a bobtail, he was quirky, he was mischievous, he was loyal, and he was my good boy.

[@kaeldrarhiannon]

I absolutely adore your traditional Irish songs. Please do more!!!

[@Justin_Rose]

I used to listen to the Celtic Woman version of this song all the time in High School. This version carries something altogether different and quite beautiful. I love your inflection in it. Kind of an aching in your voice. I think this might be my favorite version of this song.

[@MrEvanmcneilage]

This version hits differently because it's sung properly, unlike anything celtic woman sings. This song is a lament leading into a call to arms, it's supposed to rouse anger and the fighting spirit, against all enemies and traitors of the Celtic people.

[@janinewoodman5952]

Oh heck yes!!! I love the Irish songs

[@danisaur5649]

I don't understand Irish at all, but every time i hear Colm sing an irish song i feel the need to learn it. it just sounds so beautiful

[@dramallamarama5300]

Lovely rendition, this is my favourite Irish song next to Dúlaman

[@DavidWsTrainVideos]

And guess what he just released today…..

[@dramallamarama5300]

@ I know, I love it!

[@hrwmuffins]

This song has always made me cry. When I went to Ireland and took classes in Irish language, this was one song that I used for my studies. I am American born, but with predominantly Irish history and with family that is very proud of their Irish heritage. I have always had an attachment to Irish music, and being able to attach to this song by truly understanding it - not just vaguely - was such a powerful moment in my life. I am so glad you covered it.

[@norafromash5087]

The epidemic of dying languages hurts me to my core. It is so important to save these unique languages from going extinct, and it is very very worrying that a language like Irish, which was once so prolific, has gone in that direction.

[@TravelsoftheLair]

Siúil go doras, agus éalaigh liom... :)

[@jasminv8653]

Irish has recovered better than most small languages, there are more irish learners than native irish speakers even. what are you on about

[@darjabednarik6534]

They learn it at school, it’s not dying any time soon. My boyfriend speaks it because he learned it at school. There’s also areas with native speakers.

[@AmellsGrace]

Irish Gaelic is maybe the absolute worst example one can come up with for "dying overtaken language" because it, uh, isn't.

[@tf14101]

Babylon will pay for it's crimes against culture

[@Matts-Edge]

Mo Ghille Mear, or The Rising of The Moon would both be super cool to hear you do!! God Bless :)

[@billy101cat]

Mo Ghille Mear, I would love a cover of that!

[@DiaJasmineFlanary]

Yes to both of these!

[@JamesSmith-ny2gb]

When this man does Irish songs, I instantly listen

[@BazFireDwyer]

Dude, this is epic. Recently been exploring my Celtic heritage and this song just hits perfectly. Listened to it a ridiculous amount of times already. Keep making more Colm!

[@diegoborges1348]

Having first heard this song by Celtic Woman, I never thought a rock version of it would sound this good. But then again, you never cease to impress. Bravo.

[@Bender-the_hyena]

I’m was born in America, with no idea if I have any Irish ancestry but I like to believe because my families bright red hair that is passed through the generations and when I listen to this song there is just something that clicks in my head. Like meeting up with an old friend you haven’t seen In a very long time.

[@stephenbird5472]

It is not surprising that Irish culture touches your heart as an American. Our government's foundations are English but our people's culture is heavily influenced by Celtic culture. John Wayne is the consummate Irish hero fighting for right against insurmountable odds. Western music is a blend of latin and celtic music. If you do genealogy I am sure you will find, as I did, that many of our ancestors are Celtic (Scotts, Irish, Welsh).

[@theimaginatrix7625]

_DAMN IT COLM U MADE ME CRY._ That's a compliment, I promise. And the timing of this release is ... quite apt.

[@joak9755]

I went in this country few years ago. I was zmazed by the landscape, the history, the people's mentality and most importantly, the music. When i hear this kind of music, i'm back on the kerry's ring, in Dublin's pub or just in the irish countryside.

[@litlover07]

Love the traditional Irish music. Very handsome!

Ooohhhh yeah I'm in absolute Love. The playing and voice are just perfect. Thanks colm for another addictive repeating song. It's now in my top 10 of your songs.

[@kimnichols7946]

Thank you for making music. Thank you for learning to sing, and singing for us. Your voice carries a power you may not be able to hear for yourself, but we hear it. Keep on doing you- sing what makes you happy, because we will hear it and that makes us all happy.

Amazing job, hearing this song always brings a tear to my eye. Thank you for keeping the language and stories of Ireland alive.

[@Ninjanoto2]

My mom used to play me videos and CD's/music tapes of this song so much so that you could say i grew up on it via lords of the dance/river dance so this song has always held a special place in my heart and this is a really really good rendition of it. Thank you.

[@ademers03]

Amazing rendition! It's funny, I was introduced to this song by a japanese artist(KOKIA) YEARS ago, she did an Irish album and featured many traditional songs (although she had a heavy accent, of course) and I've always loved Siuil a Ruin

[@wittyusernamefailed]

Thank you for this! I don't know exactly why, among all of Ireland's many beautiful songs, I love this one so much, but the Clannad version has been a favorite of mine for years. Now there's two distinctly different, wonderful versions of it, so I can listen to it twice as often!
