Sinéad O' Connor-Oro, Se Do Bheatha 'Bhaile (Live)

Se do bheatha a bhean ba leanmhar!
B'e ar gcreach tu bheith i ngeibhinn,
Do dhuiche bhrea i seilbh meirleach
'S tu diolta leis na Ghallaibh.
Chorus:
Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh.
Ta Grainne Mhaol ag teacht thar saile,
Oglaigh armtha lei mar gharda;
Gaeil iad fein 's ni Gaill na Spainnigh,
'S cuirfid siad ruaig ar Ghallaibh.
Chorus
A bhui le Ri na bhfeart go bhfeiceam,
Muna mbeam beo 'na dhiaidh ach seachtain,
Grainne Mhaol agus mile gaiscioch
Ag fogairt fain ar Ghallaibh.
Chorus
English translation:
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!
Grainne Mhaol is coming over the sea,
Armed warriors along with her as her guard,
They are Irishmen, not foreigners nor Spanish...
And they will rout the foreigners!
May it please the God of Miracles that we may see,
Although we only live a week after it,
Grainne Mhaol and a thousand warriors...
Dispersing the foreigners!

[@leemanley5415]

it was originally about prince bonny charlie the lyrics were rewritten by patrick pearce prior to the easter uprising to be about grace o’malley to inspire irish fighters, and it was traditional sung prior to bringing a bride home.

[@bethanyc5786]

It's not about any woman specifically but the goddess who is Ireland and her people depending on no one else and repelling invaders. Grace O'Malley/ Granialle Bhealle is simply a metaphor for the land itself

[@Debz1990]

This is a great version of the song, it's out of the ordinary, she's keeping the song alive, because she's keeping it interesting. As Padraig Pearse said "A country without a language is a country without a soul", she's keeping the song, alive and interesting and by doing that she's protecting the language, and that's what Padraig Pearse wanted when he wrote it, to keep the language going, to keep the soul going! Long live sinead O Connor!!!

[@nunyabiznez6381]

I am the great grandson of four Irish immigrants to Boston 120+ years ago. Three of them learned the mother tongue and two as their first language. My one great grandfather could not speak a word of English until he was in his twenties. He was in the process of teaching me when I was a toddler but then he died. I vaguely remember speaking to him in another language all those 60+ years ago but when he died there was no one else to speak it with so I lost it completely. I have no recollection of the words themselves, only the vague sense that I once spoke them. I was three when he passed. I have no one to teach me or to speak it with but I am slowly teaching myself one word at a time from on line tutorials and KZbin videos and this song is what has inspired me to do so. I had not heard it sung in many years then I heard it hear and it sounded familiar. My great grandfather would spontaneously begin to sing this every time someone brought up his late wife, my great grandmother, who died before I was born. I'm pretty sure the version he sang was the pre Pearce one husbands sang to their wives when they moved them into their new homes as newly weds. He had left Ireland Years before Pearce wrote the new lyrics.

I have to imagine that, if she'd been singing this at the time it was written, she would inspire thousands to join the cause.

Classic version of the song. I love hearing it accompanied by the video of 'The Wind that Shakes the Barley'.

As a 9y old, and born in Belgium, we had a project running that was getting Irish victims over here on holidays. So, I met a certain Colene who was staying in Belgium, at a safe place and the family she stayed at was trying to give her a relaxed time. I had a really nice time with her, although i didn't know any English at that time, we connected. I remember one thing: she wet the bed at night, cause she was having nightmares cause she experienced the bombings going on in Belfast. that's what i was explained. yet i didn't mind and i wanted to sleep next to her, cause i was afraid of ghosts. I wish i could find this woman back again, and hope she's doing fine now.

Apart from the fact that the song is in Irish, I posted in Irish to show my commitment to Irish language and culture. I was pointing out that this commitment does not require one to be inward looking. We should be open and appreciative of the music, literature and culture we encounter from overseas. I am confident and proud of my culture - not weak and fearful like you. Your poisonous and incoherent nonsense is borne of fear. A proud englishman wouldn't be so easily threatened.

I remember Sinead and how famous she was during my childhood with her shaved head, and voice which was distinctly different from that of the other singers during the early 90's, and how she dressed... So this morning I woke up and thought about listening to Sinead's biggest hit from that time when I was only 6/7 years old, "Nothing Compares"... and as looked through other songs and stuff I found this one... pretty cool reggae/celtic vibe going on... she's unique. Cheers!

[@michaelkervarec3653]

Beautiful mix of Celtic Irish music and reggae 👍🇮🇪🇯🇲

[@Msciarraiabu]

This is an old pirate song about a female Irish pirate queen "Granuaille" which means "bald Grace",owing to the fact that she shaved her head as a child and ran away to sea to join her father.She was infamous as a pirate and was imprisoned by agents of Elizabeth the 1st.However the Queen became intrigued by Granuaile and the pair met.She was then released and this song is a celebration her crew, describing how her return would mean more prosperity and adventure for them. Hope you enjoy!x

This is a song about rebellion and the energy that Sinéad brings to this version encapsulates what her life was about. She led a rebellion against the abuse of children by the Catholic Church, campaigned for the rights of Travelers and expressed solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community. She considered herself a protest singer and she used her platform to speak and sing about the disenfranchised and marginalised. She paid a heavy price for her bravery in speaking out and the barrage of abuse and criticism she faced undoubtedly had an effect on her mental health. She will be missed, she was loved by many. One can only hope she is at peace now and reunited with her beloved son Shane. Rest in peace, our warrior, Sinéad.
