The song is pronounced 'Oh roe shay dah-vaha-wall-yah'. we say 'as Gaelige' ( speaking 'in Irish' ). About Grace O'Malley ( 'Granya Wallya' ), the pirate queen coming back with her army - 'Gaeilge Fein, 's Ni Franc, o Spannaig..' means 'Of Irish warriors, not French or Spanish..' the accent mark is called a 'fada'. As I'm from Belfast, I speak in an Uladh ( Ulster ) dialect. The lyrics of the modern version were written by Padraig Pearse, a hero of the Easter Rising, as a call to arms for ex-pats to return to fight the Brits. And good for ye for trying Gaelige'.. wee darling ye!! Try giving a listen to 'Mo Ghile Mhear' ( Our Darling Hero - an Irish lament for Bonnie Prince Charlie ) Sung by Mary Black.

Hey Maddy, Thank you so much for this kind reaction video. I was lucky enough to be the drummer on this track with the guys. Definitely one of my most proudest tracks I’ve ever recorded. Back story, we recorded this song along with several others over the course of a week in Killarney (very scenic) and this tune just happened after many attempts. Our producer James Darkin has a huge say in the delivery of the intensity it reaches and even more so - how we get there from almost nothing. We recorded it and celebrated how good it was over a bottle of red breast. A proud night of my career for sure. Regarding the auto-translate, Irish won’t make sense. That reasoning is for another day. lol. Keep doin what you’re doing! We appreciate it. Conor

Just last night I did a search to see if anyone reacted to this song, I had just played it for the upteenth time, I'd been listening to for years, then today, your reaction pops up. Thank you, KZbin algorithms. Ages ago I became a fan of Celtic Thunder. They do mostly popular songs, beginning with Irish songs or songs written by Irish songwriters They have since branched out to nearly any song (they have been around for over a decade now). A few they sang in Gaeilge and, I can't explain it, the language, which I have no understanding of, touched me, deeply So I searched for other artists and found TG Lurgan (performances by students learning the language), which led me to Seo Linn (the lead singer and other band members were in some TG Lurgan songs). I tend to be obsessive (a little) and thought, hey, I'll learn Gaeilge! OMG, I didn't last long. There are so many substitutions of sounds for letters and letter combinations, I just couldn't remap my brain that much. But it was fun while it lasted. This. Guy's. Voice. Holy heck. Glad you reacted to it and appreciated it. ❤

[@thelivingwebproject791]

Yo I literally am only here today for exactly the same reasons!!!! Wanted to see if anyone had done reactions because years ago I found these guys and began my own little journey of learning gaeilge 😁👏☺️ it IS indeed a very beautiful and complicated language (ESPECIALLY if American is your first language 😅) just figured I'd throw you a comment since you came and said pretty much everything I was going to 👏👏👏👏😁💖

Irish people that know f*** all about Irish history but proceed to loudly voice their useless opinions are annoying. No, the song was re-purposed by Pearce at the start of the 20th century. Had bugger all to do with nationalism before that

[@simonsaysjapan]

They are singing the later Padraig Pearse version with lyrics composed for the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921) Chorus: Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile, Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile, Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh. 'Sé do bheatha, a bhean ba léanmhar, Do b' é ár gcreach tú bheith i ngéibheann, Do dhúiche bhreá i seilbh méirleach, Is tú díolta leis na Gallaibh. Chorus Tá Gráinne Mhaol ag teacht thar sáile, Óglaigh armtha léi mar gharda, Gaeil iad féin is ní Gaill ná Spáinnigh, Is cuirfidh siad ruaig ar Ghallaibh. Chorus A bhuí le Rí na bhFeart go bhfeiceam, Mura mbeam beo ina dhiaidh ach seachtain, Gráinne Mhaol agus míle gaiscíoch, Ag fógairt fáin ar Ghallaibh. Chorus Translation into English: Chorus: Oh-ro You're welcome home, Oh-ro You're welcome home, Oh-ro You're welcome home... Now that summer's coming! Welcome oh woman who was so afflicted, It was our ruin that you were in bondage, Our fine land in the possession of thieves... And you sold to the foreigners! Chorus Gráinne O'Malley is coming over the sea, Armed warriors along with her as her guard, They are Gaels, not invaders(british) nor Spanish... And they will rout the foreigners! Chorus May it please the King of Miracles that we might see, Although we may live for a week once after, Gráinne Mhaol and a thousand warriors... Dispersing the foreigners! Chorus

[@wolfetonesghost]

Pádraig Pearse rewrote the lyrics prior to 1916. The brits murdered him shortly after the Easter Rising in 1916. Although, both sides of the Irish Civil War used the song, it was not rewritten for the dates you've posted. Why? Because he was already dead 4 years. 🇮🇪 ✌️

The origins of the Irish language can be traced back to the 4th century AD, when it evolved from a common Celtic language spoken by the ancient Celts who lived in Ireland.The first speakers of Irish probably arrived from mainland Europe over 2,500 years ago

[@Lane2268]

you aren't wrong, as for the origins there is some consternation, many feel that they perhaps were from Gaul, but there are genetic traces of Iberian, which would beg the question if there are any links with the language of the Basques. Curiosities really.

[@troydouglas4193]

The Basque language has no relation to other languages according to the Anthropological Linguistics course I took all those years ago but the tie in you mention may have merit.. @@Lane2268

The first Gaels arrived in 300 bc Not ad These celts spoke Gaelic this went to what we speak gaeilge. It’s over 3000 years old and comes directly from proto Celtic It has no connection to continental Celtic language

Interestingly the Iberian link matches up with ancient Irish folklore when talking about the mythical invasions.

[@tomjohnston1220]

They really don't know when the Celts arrived in Ireland. What archaeologists spout is just theories and guess work. Every couple of years they discover that their previous dates are wrong and that everything was earlier than they thought.

Tne original version was written during the Jacobite Rebelión. This version was rewritin by Pádraig Pearse to drum up support for an Ireland that would be free from england, and become an independent country. The lyrics by Pádraig Pearse is calling the Irish people to join in the fight for independence, The Easter Rising of 1916 failed, but after the english murdered the leaders of the rebellion, the Irish people began to band together and use guerilla tactics to fight the english. There's too much history to write it all down. Thank you so much for playing this song. It means a great deal to the Irish people who support the Republican movement, as we still have 6 counties in the North illegally occupied by the brits and their proxy "soldiers" I include the PSNI with those colluding with the huns in england. tiocfaidh ár lá!!

I love seeing Seo Linn get more recognition for their work. If you react to any more of their songs, Seo is pronounced 'show,' due to the Irish alphabet only having eighteen letters. An 's' before the letters 'e' and 'i' makes the 'sh' sound, while 's' before the letters 'a', 'o', and 'u' make the 'ss' sound. And that title is pronounced oh-ro shey doe vah-hah whal-ya.

[@DavidDArcy1975]

the name of the band is pronounced Shu Lin (shut without the T) and it is the Irish for 'Here We Go'. the song title is pronounced Oro (oreo without the E) Shay do Vaha Wallya - and it is the Irish for 'Welcome Home' 😎🤘 Go n'éirí an t-ádh leat Maddy ☘ Respect & Peace ☘

Good one, Maddy! Yes, Gaelic is a bit tricky for Americans, plus there are Scotch and Irish versions that while similar will sound different to your ear. Both are related to Welsh, another Celtic language, but sound completely different again. There are 6 modern Celtic languages (Irish, Scotch Gaelic, Welsh, Breton, Cornish & Manx) but of those only Welsh at this point is considered a robust & healthy living language. The others are all in a state of decline with too few, if any, native speakers to keep the languages flourishing. You can still hear a fair amount of Irish & Scotch Gaelic spoken, but every generation there are simply fewer and fewer native speakers to carry on the tradition. The musical traditions are still strong though! 🙂 Thanks for sharing this one!

Gaeilge is a Celtic language, Irish/Scottish/Welsh. although none of these languages are the same, there are some loose similarities between Irish and Scottish, Welsh is a language onto it's own. the 'fada' (line on the é) slenderises the e sound to an a sound.

Thank you for posting these lyrics, but these lyrics are from the original version written during the Jacobite Rebellion. This particular song was rewritin by Pádraig Pearse and the lyrics were changed in 1916 for the Easter Rising. go raibh maith agat. 🇮🇪 Tal

Yup, it is a call for the pirate queen Grace O'Malley to return and lead in battle, they are using the Gaelic version of her name

I highly recommend that you check out Davy Holden's KZbin channel. Here's a link to the history of this song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5uzdKiNfbyVgKcsi=7M8UcW4FXN6Lkv5s

There are many great versions of this song 🇮🇪

People forget Ireland didn’t always speak English and still has many people that still speak many tongues exclusively spoken in Ireland 😂

[@johnquick1]

Very true. We spoke old Gaelighe until the brits made our language, our customs, religion, and traditions, a crime. Now, the Irish language is making a slow comeback. Especially, with the younger ones. And even within the Irish language, we have regional dialects of Gaelighe. I hope you enjoyed the song and the video. Sláinte agus go raibh maith agat. 🇮🇪 Tal

The Irish Volunteers version written by Padraig Pearse was much later. It came after different versions of the lyrics for the Jacobite Rebellion too. The origins of the song are actually older from when a couple got married and the new bride spent the first month after the wedding still at home with her parents. After one month there was a ceremony called ‘hauling the bride’ which saw people sing this song meaning ‘Hurray! And you’re welcome home!’ as she moved in with her husband.

[@johnquick1]

Already knew that. As far as the bride info, I've only heard it once, and the only lyric used is "Óró Sé do Bheatha bhaile" which is repeated 3 times. The use of the other lyrics for a new bride would be a bit off kilter. No worries, mó chara. 🇮🇪 ✌️

Thanks! Hello, my beautiful love! I am requesting that you react to Seo Linn's version of "Súil a Rúin." The song is usually sung by women, and from a women's perspective. This is the same band that I requested you react to for "Óró Sé do Bheatha bhaile." This song is also sung in Irish (Gaeilge- *gwale-guh) I hope you remember it.

@JohnQuick Aye Seán, another great request. One of the local bands played Seo Linn's version of Súil a Rúin at the pub (you know which one). The band did a pretty good cover-of-a-cover. Saoirse na hÉireann!! 🇮🇪 ⚒️ 🇮🇪 TAL32

Welcome to Irish history and Irish Nationalism. You can get the correct subtitles on the net. Last, but not least, this man can sing!

[@ConnbineHarvester]

As an Irelander, listening to you pronounce that was amazing! If I live long enough to see that stupid f'ing British border on our island go away and Ireland reunited as one nation, this song will be high on the playlist!

[@iuile]

Yeah, outside of Ireland where few people care to know better. Irish people call the language Irish. There's no reason to add the incorrect 'Gaelic' because the differences between Irish and actual Gaelic (Scottish; Gaidhlig) are obvious.

[@user-ze8yy8jg1f]

Our language is made for the Gaelic alphabet which is one of the oldest written languages in Europe that is still alive Irish or gaeilge is a Celtic language Celtic is a language family Celtic meaning barbarian in Greek keltio We are Gaels a Celtic tribe from the Gaelic language tree Scott’s Gaelic is also from Ireland and is spoken in Scotland Manx is also Gaelic from Irish colonisers. Welsh,Cornish,Breton are Brythonic. Both are separated by our genes we are southern Europeans who came from the Iberian peninsula Brythonic celts are Northern European also seen in their mix with Germanic tribes. Both branches can be traced to proto Celtic spoken by indo European the indigenous people of Europe separate from Latin, Germanic

Hey. You do a great job with variety , this is kinda more interesting - to me - than Irish trad rock like R. Gallagher or U2. looking back a bit - L. Rondstat , M. Mcbride , L. Zep... the two famous ' boisterous guitar rock'. Dire Straits & Lynard Skynard..... did Ya get a clue to this from a comment from the 'Sultans of Swing' by an Irish guy ? let me suggest my inclination , ' listening rock'. in Utube. ' Morning Dew'. '1974 by Grateful Dead. - written by Canadian B.Dobson from a flick that will rock yer brain, ' On the Beach '. or China Cat ' also a filmed 1974 concert.... And , or, also Utube vid - ' White Bird' 1970 tangle wood. by 'Beautiful Day' - the best tambourine player, ever. Finally, to complete San Fran finest 'hippie rock'. Santana , also ' tangle wood' and Jefferson Airplane another 1970 - 'Plastic Faantasitic ' from Heider Studios. Utube.

[@ARDRI2009]

The Gaelic languages are their own family of languages. they include Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Cornwall, Manx,and Bretagne.

[@mikalero]

The subtitles aren't accurate, because it's trying to auto detect and transcribe English from the audio, but it's Irish being sung.

[@andaimhineach4131]

Love to hear Irish, spoken or sung. Éire go bragh!

Maddie, they sing it many times, so go from the song and the lead singer. It looks so different from the way it sounds, you may not know the first thing he sings is the title.

Also while I can't afford to give monetary thanks, I do recommend listening to some of the songs TG Lurgan has done covers of. It might be easier that way instead of going in blind in a sense since it's popular songs being sung in Irish; there is a better chance for recognition and it might be more enjoyable. My favorites are 'Demons - le Imagine Dragons as Gaeilge'; 'Believer - Imagine Dragons as Gaeilge'; and 'Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - "Can't Hold us" as Gaeilge.'
