Celtic Woman - Oró Sé Do Bheatha 'Bhaile

Celtic Woman performing 'Oró Sé Do Bheatha 'Bhaile' at the Mansion House in Dublin on their 'Destiny' tour.

I am from China and was schooled in England for many years. I literally flabbergasted the Irish housemaster when he caught me listening to this song.

[@noeonoohno4219]

wtf is an Irish housemaster is that like a slave/servant?

@@noeonoohno4219 I assume he means an innkeeper, when he visited the UK again.

An Irish war song sung so eloquently and with beautiful Irish women. I love my culture and history 🇮🇪🍀💚

[@jessicarupe9199]

I love how Meav is singing it like she's telling the true story rather than as a war cry.

A wonderful collaboration between the first generation of Celtic Woman and the new generation. I'm a huge Mairead fan, and Maev has a lovely voice.

It's great to see and hear Meav once more, even if it's only on a temporary basis!

[@michaelkavanagh5947]

The story of Grace is fascinating, her meeting with Elizabeth the first is legendary. They sing it perfectly. Now the summers coming. Warms your heart to hear Gaeilge alive and well.

It’s wonderful to have current and prior talented members with such lovely voices and fantastic violinists. It’s nice to see that you can go to a concert and be surprised by the appearance of a prior member of the group. Really love their music!

Chorus: Oh-ro, welcome home Oh-ro, welcome home Oh-ro, welcome home Now that summer's coming! Grace O'Malley is coming over the sea, Armed warriors as her guard, Only Gaels are they, not French nor Spanish... and they will rout the foreigners! Chorus May it please the King of Prodigy that we might see, Although we may live but one week after, Gráinne Mhaol and a thousand warriors... Dispersing the foreigners!

When someone like Meav takes the stage with Celtic Woman again, the other girls just look like background singers. Don’t get me wrong, they all sang beautifully. But Meav taking the lead and the girls literally standing behind her, it really looks like a singer and her backup girls.

[@jamesparker760]

our Sweet Lady Meav indeed has a commanding stage presence. At this point, Meav was (and still is) the nascent vocal director of the group. I think she was showing the gals how to present the song on tour. Meav only sang this song for the DVD filming in question here, leaving one of the others to take the lead during the tour itself. Not sure who took the lead after that. Guessing it was maybe Eabha who is the other totally fluent Irish/Gaelic speaker among them. But i totally agree with you Sanne. :) xx

To be honest I remember I had to sing this song in primary school (that’s what we call elementary school in Ireland) one time in a grandparents day. In either 2016 or 2017. I didn’t like it cos the original artists of the song where folk and it was a folk song. But now hearing other artists singing. It doesn’t sound like folk to me. It’s still good.
