[@Jinx-z2g]

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

[@itsallconspiracy2035]

Gaelic. ❤

[@Kieran0410]

@@itsallconspiracy2035 Irish or Gaeilge. Don't Seppsplain

[@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.

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!

[@charmanderlover6433]

🙏 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.

[@ANNEKE1999]

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

[@DiaJasmineFlanary]

Second that!

[@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?

[@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.

[@GentrifiedPotato]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@LucionFrostBurn]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@christopherevans4273]

I will always treasure the version of this my mother used to sing to me. Thank you for bringing it back to mind.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@theimaginatrix7625]

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

[@kaeldrarhiannon]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@janinewoodman5952]

Oh heck yes!!! I love the Irish songs

[@jessicavazquez]

I remember when my dad sang this song to me when I was a little girl, you brought back some lovely memories.😭💗

[@felinedaze2058]

I was listening to Ms Roberts version the other day and thought how Colm could level up his version. Either I'm a soothsayer, or others have been thinking the same thing. And you did not disappoint. Thank you 🩵

[@BrambleJam]

SWEATER GUY!!! You are criminally underrated, and I want people to love you as much as you deserve, so let's get on that, STAT!

[@samrabeitman6026]

I love irish people and irish mythology and i hope to visit Ireland one day ❤🎉❤❤❤

[@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.

[@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.

[@marissafederico1718]

This is one of my absolute favorites

[@yasumedia9528]

Love the traditional Irish lyrics! Love Colm's calming, but firm vocals! Love the song!

[@RosheenQuynh]

Today had politics, the lack of someone I love (I miss him), PMS, and writer’s block... but at least it had this video so I can smile

[@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

[@cadmusravenstag4403]

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

[@boleebo2925]

Just when i thought i couldn't love his voice any more along comes this stunning performance 😍

[@mtlsl1863]

This song is wonderful! Rich and exciting with the instruments. Splendid vocal choices. I added it to my Celtic playlist! Thanks for that!

[@maxmuetzel5364]

If he does a collab with Celtic Woman, I’ll grab my finest Irish whiskey and drink it.

[@Svanhilde7]

I grew up listening to and singing this song, and you've done a stunning job. Thank you and sláinte!

Given the translation as I understand it, this was exactly what was needed today. Thank you for this beautiful song.

[@googlespyingonme]

Divine. God bless you, sir.

[@SusanneHerbst-dc2ld]

Such a beautiful song, Gives me peace of mind. Much needed today

We will survive these dark times. Music is the language of the gods. It unites us. Thank you, Music Shaman Colm.

I've loved this song for decades and loved the many versions by great folk singers ❤

[@litlover07]

[@gamefreak56789]

Such a lovely song. I recently started leaning Irish myself and it's given this song a whole different level of appreciation.

[@JamesSmith-ny2gb]

When this man does Irish songs, I instantly listen

[@trincywalker7497]

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.

[@hrovardran4755]

Probably the best rendition of this song that I've heard. Good job.

[@TGio_]

Wow Colm! You found a whole crew for your band! And, what a striking coincidence! They all look exactly like you! I'm sure you guys will get along together pretty well! All praise Colm's band!

[@The_Republic_of_Ireland]

My favourite trad song that also introduced me to Clannad, one of my favourite trad bands and now being covered by my favourite Irish KZbinr. Great work lad

[@thomasdevine867]

He not only gives us the tune he gives us the emotional meaning and deeps.

[@sbskinner369]

Thank you for more of these beautiful Irish songs! They are really something special.

[@lastchancemonicam3948]

Beautiful. Thank you Mr. McGuinness.

[@arashikashu5421]

I did not realize I needed this right now, but the second I saw the video and saw the song it was like "Yes! Yes, this is what I need." It's like when you don't realize you're got a carb deficit going on until someone offers you pasta...

[@breenarnianwarhorse5051]

I love this song. And this rolling, foggy, more desperate version paints a beautiful picture. ✨🎶

[@blurred-antics]

I had to sit and let the song wash over me after it finished. Even still, several minutes after, I'm having trouble putting my emotions into words.

[@chicchicboom]

I would love to hear you sing Óró Sé do Bheatha Bhaile if we're doing a vote :D

[@sfinlay7015]

He has done this song! I love it. Look up the title with his name and you should find it or scroll waaay back through his videos and it's there 🙂

[@TheRevanchrist]

this is one of my favourite tunes when I hear it on an auto generated celtic music list.

[@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!

[@davenonnenberg]

omg..... this is one of my all time favorites since I first heard it on Lord of the Dance.... ty...

[@TheMimzez]

yessss I love this song! really like the way you covered it in your own style

[@lynzylu5]

I like your different take on the song's cadence! I tend to hear it sung the same way wherever I go. Excellent work!

[@soundwavegamer2321]

It maybe because of my ancestry, but hearing songs from Ireland and Sweden are always so nice to me. Even listening to Svenska and Irish Gaelic even if I don’t speak/understand them there’s just something about the songs that pulls at me.

Oh I love this song! Glad to hear you take it on!

okay Colm that was the best thing I ever heard

[@maggiem6209]

I had a girl I had a crush on a few years ago, who loved Irish songs. I learned this song to sing to her. It didn't work out, but I still love singing it. Beautiful and tragic. 💚

This is one of my favorite songs ever, and I’d been hoping I’d hear you sing it some day, Colm. Thank you. ❤❤❤
