- This is what’s known as a “matchmaking song” in the Irish tradition.
It tells the story of a young woman, Méirí, who’s been eyeing up sailors (and then a piper) over the course of an evening - most likely during a seisiún ceol. The singer may be the woman’s father, teasing her for taking an interest in such men.
Performed by Celtic Woman
Album: Believe (2011)

Mheiri: *wants to go down to see the sailors*
Mheiri's father: "I'm about to end this woman's whole career"

This song sounds like 'Rapunzel song' + 'Pirates of the Caribbean' !!! This is DOPE
😇
Amen
My exact thoughts it also feels like belle like how she sings the Bonjour song with everyone
Literally how i imagine it!
So accurate and that's why I love it
In my mind, Meiri had a magical night with one of the sailors and thought she'd never see him again, yet she returns to the docks nonetheless, and tomorrow she's to find out her arranged marriage is actually to that sailor who was a nobleman masquerading as a sailor the whole time😊
Awwwww, i love that! It's so cute.
Sounds like propaganda
@@Quetzalcoatl-Dragon_97 in a sane world this could easily be distinguished as satire, but these days you can't be too sure
i love thissssssss
Sounds like a cute story
Listening to this feels like I took an antidepressant that actually starts working right away.
Pretty much
@Rylee Stock exactly
Same
Couldn’t agree more
It's beautiful
This song makes me wanna be a pirate and I'm talkin abt the cool ones with those fancy sleeves n stuff
Im with you on that lol
This song makes me want to be a Pirate too, BUT, also to build teeny structures for borrowers
@@alienindisguise5546 Arrietty?

Plsss me toooo
When you hear Gaeilge, you can definitely understand why Irish accents formed to what they are. It is beautiful to listen to!
(Sorry I spelled it wrong guys!! I genuinely didn't realize until 2 years later! Fixed it!)
The language is called Gaeilge 🥰. Gaelic is a sport
Gaelic is actually a sport, not a language. Our language is called Irish, or Gaeilge.
The Irish language is Gaeilge, not Gaelic
1 letter from garlic but either way I love it
Everyone correcting you is ironically ignoring the fact that Gaelic is the correct English term for Celtic languages, for standard Irish it would be Gaeilge. Irish speaking areas are known as Gaeltacht
Imagine this.
You are in a small town, near the sea, you are singing this while oyw to go get apples for the cows, you are wearing a brown corset and a white dress, and you are just spinning around with everyone
why would you feed apples to cows
@@alex7416 Because they deserve them
Write it
@@Quetzalcoatl-Dragon_97 they do indeed
*Yeah! That's what I imagined 😮😂.*
Actual me: Chillin in my bed at 3 am listening to this
Little me in my head: Dancing down the crowded market streets by the marina, saying good morning to the passing locals as I weave past people, interlocking arms with strangers and dancing with the children in my brightly patterned and twirly outfit to this song.💖🌺
Are you reading my mind?
@@lilithhyde1592 my exact reaction lmao
When i read this si thought of rapunzel when she goes to her town/kingdom
Same hahahaha 💙
Me dancing without a care
she sounds like she had so much passion while singing this, and it's mostly why this song attracts me so much. her voice sounds genuinely excited and upbeat and she sounds passionate about her work, i love it so much!
Vitalify which one of the four ladies?
Falgorn A Think they meant the lead singer?
Vitalify here is the link for the actual performance ruclips.net/video/1g7XO7gICAo/видео.html
Vitalify it sounds like a song you can imagine a group of people dancing to and just having fun not caring about dancing good or anything just having fun with their life and not caring about anything else
@@CyrusLagom it's all of them singing
A long time ago and far, far away I was a sailor. Some of the things I did were worth remembering. Others less so. This group of women are stunningly beautiful and marvelous singers. Thank you.
That sounds pretty nice Greg.
It gives me the vibes of dancing in the crowd in those late 18s, when everyone's enjoying a festival and dancing while wearing those European clothes
I refuse to believe they pronounce all those syllables.
Gaelic is like French in the manner of the syllables don't sound like you expect them to, so they kind of blend together.
@@shinebrightbyd I'm honestly warming up to the language, in some ways blendy languages (yup, definitely the scientific term) feel more alive than completely phonetic languages.
And in Gaeilge there's a lot of different sounds and silent letters
@@ImaginaryMdA once ya know irish it's really fun to sing it. Born and raised speaker here. It's a great langauge and great craic to rap in.
@@Ash-uv2ck Hey, good for you!
Many years ago in a small village in Ireland near Galway, there was a little girl named Mhéíri. She was a very independent even as a young child. She loved traveling and learning things. She dreamed of traveling far away and exploring the world. Nobody in the village understood her, she often went to the ocean or the forest. She would try to go as far as she could.
Once she reached 14, Mhéíri had come up with a plan to escape her village. That day she packed up her stuff and left to get in her boat. All of the villagers watched as she walked towards the ocean. She was off to Galway and no one could stop her.
The villagers tried to tell her to forget her dreams. She realized they loved her and she decided to stay for the night. She didn't know what tomorrow would bring, but she enjoyed her last night with the village she loved.
ughh this resonates with me and the city life so much. even I want to go away to a forest and travel and explore but some stupid responsibilities I have here :( ill go someday away from all this I want to live a peaceful life in a simple village and a very simple job helping people and chatting with simple people about their lives and some stories . I want a life like that . there is always gossiping and people talking about responsibilities and all. where I just want to run away far from the people away and stay happily in a cottage reading books and working or farming .

I would hitch that age up a fair bit higher than 14
@@lulolie Im Irish and nearly all of Ireland is countryside, i live in a medieval seaside village which i can definitely say is living in the countryside even though it as a local village but with vintage shops and there's a market every Sunday in the next village over, all Irish people learn Irish Gaelic in school most of Ireland is still in the early 1900s in nearly everything so 14 is definitely not too young for this song!
i’m gonna be honest. i had the worst day and was gonna shower. before i showered i put the song and literally forgot abt everything and just danced in the bathroom pretending i had a gorgeous dress on and was in a forest. it was truly magical in my head lmao. then it stopped and i came back to reality.
I may not be Irish but this song is actually beautiful
I'm going to listen to this everyday now
I'm actuallypart Irish and part German

I haven't the slightest clue why this came up as a recommended video for me, but I've had it on repeat for the past 30 mins.
I've had it on repeat for AN HOUR HA-
there is a live version that is just amazing!!
I'VE HAD THIS SONG ON REPEAT FOR TWO FUCKING DAYS

No one can resist Celtic Woman
Violinist did a really good job with this song.
Nekrochomikon8 Of course! That's the one and only Mairead Nesbitt!
That’s a viola.
Well yeah it's her job
When I was in 7th, the teacher of chorus showed us a video of a Celtic Woman concert and the violinist dances as she plays.
She plays and dances like a Gypsy!
Irish music always makes me happy. My father is Irish but never taught me anything about Irish culture when I was growing up. I learnt to love Irish culture on my own
Tá muid Éireann! Tá muid bródúil! :D
This song is amazingly beautiful and awe inspiring. As a young aspiring Fantasy writer, I've had writers block for the past 3 months. This actually cured my writers block 😁😁😁
Ooo that's great! I must know what your book/piece of writing is about i write mystery!
my parents for years had tried to get me to connect with my Irish roots and yeah this song is what did me in
@Max King Exactly same here, I feel like Irish songs often sound really harsh- singer is actively gargling rocks level harsh- or just boring! But I really love this song
Zealous Zombae BORING!!😂 gone go listen to rattlin bog,black and Tans,foggy dew and British soldiers

I'm so changing my bio on bumble now 😂

Again? Lol
You go girl!!!
God, I have such a cinamatic visual of this song. With Meiri going to the neighboring port city whilest other folks in her village scoff at how she's running off to dance and flirt with the sailors, and the harbor's just glistening with lights as the nightlife sorta takes over. Everything's vibrant, girls giddily try and get the sailors' attention, Meiri's living it up despite the fact that she's got work in the morning.
As an irish man I am ashamed I've only just heard of this. Amazing🍀
The line 'your match is made' is kinda sad to me as my great grandmother was forced to marry an older man by the men in her village. She lived in a small village outside Galway so she probably wished she could run away to Galway too! Although not to a man as she wished to be a nun 😅
This song makes me feel like running and dancing through a meadow as nymphs and faeries dance with me
Edit: since many of you are warning me against messing with the fae, it also reminds me of riding a beautiful horse through a wide open field full of wildflowers and honeybees 🤗
Agreed
yeeeeees!!! hahahaha
Lets go together
@@art.by.nikolajustmecarol2538 yesss
I imagine a city of elfs
She sounds like a princess.
whoever made this song has such a beautiful voice, she must be so proud of making such beautiful song!
Did I put this song on repeat 100 times? yes. Am I ashamed? nope.
Celtic Women are fantastic! if you feel like it, look for their live show of this song, they're dancing around on stage barefoot with long flowy dresses and it's just so much fun to watch
AND the one who dances the most energetically is the fiddler!@@MitsueOokami
For clarification's sake it's pronounced
Cheer a va ree-oo
Cheer a va ree-oo
Cheer a va ree-oo Merry
Cheer a val goose fan sa valley
Mar ta doo varreea chenta
That’s more or less how it’s pronounced. I might be a bit off on some of the last line.
Héroe sin capa 👏🏼
I love you xD this is the only part idk how to sing :')
Chomh fada agus is eol dom, tá an t-aistriúchán sin ceart.
The "valley" would be more like "valluh" and "varreea" would be "varrgha" where the gh is almost like a gargling but other than that I think you're pretty spot on (I'm going by Scottish Gaelic pronunciation which isn't far off Gaeilge for these words)
I speak Ulster Irish and that pronunciation confused me... Is it a Connacht thing to pronounce them that way??
Feels like something from a Disney movie
My thoughts exactly
If Disney made a Irish-Celtic movie, with people speaking Irish Gaelic, I would be so fricking happy.
It was in tinkerbell soo....
Laura James they made Brave w a little scottish-gaelic singing- that’s the closest we might get lol
@@ashcanthetrashcan2805 I got a brave vibe. I havent seen any movie in years
Even though I'm not Irish, I love this song cause it just makes me feel relaxed
After listening to this song for a two hour loop so I could sing along with it well I did my chores, I have concluded that I no longer want to be a psychologist or lawyer. I am running away to Galway in a long dress with flowing sleeves to dance in a pub with sailors.
Me and you have the same dream. See you in Galway
Go, Mhéirí, go. I wish you happiness, even if you're drunk. 😂
Oh have your voice heard by thy wishmaker. And the wish be realized.
Man I feel like i've just watch a 2 hours long Disney movie in a 4min long song... that was epic.

I'm someone who absolutely loves Irish folk, my little sister said she found an Irish folk song that she said she liked. I was expecting it to be pretty bad. But it was this song, and I love it now! Well done, sister.
This was my exact experience in Galway two weeks ago. Irish men grabbing me in old pubs and dancing around the wooden floor while the whole pub sang. Having to leave a handsome man named Ronan behind because my friends were leaving the pub. Just left out the part where I protected my Guinness in the pouring rain by putting my jacket over it and not myself. Then resigning to my fate and just drinking my Guinness in the rain while practicing my newly learned jig on the way home. 😂
Omg! I wanna go!!!
r/thathappened
@@svalbirdd Yes actually! The pub was called Barr An Chaladh and I met Ronan at The Quays.
@@svalbirdd I'm really sad you feel that way about Ireland. My experience there is very different than yours it seems. I name dropped both places in case you ever want a nice experience yourself. :) Maybe you can make a foreign girls week by spinning her around the floor as well. 🥰
@@alexandercoleman3104 I've always wanted to. It's beautiful, isn't it. 😊
Did I put this on repeat 400 times so I could sing it while I do chores?
I did indeed and maybe you did too
Ha! You’re wrong....
I played it 500 times and learned a tad of Irish Gaelic so I could the English parts in it
I did😂😂😂
Caught me red handed.. 😅
Ive been busted I listen to this all day at work over and over again I can now sing it word for word lol but I watch the live performance at the Morris center its longer and in the beginning they are arguing lol its better than just this one check it out
kept this on loop while writing some bash script lol
I swear, this song is an instant mood boost for me. I hear it and I can't stop smiling, and I start dancing, and I want to sing the lyrics as loud as I can, and it SUCKS cause I'm inside at night with several other people right now so I can't sing it or else I'll wake them up.
This feels like a song a disney princess would sing while waltzing in the forest. *Im in for it*
i like to think the chorus of the other girls are Meiri's sisters. They accompany her to town most of the time but sometimes she sneaks off by herself and the sisters go pick her up before dawn so their parents won't notice. The part near the end is when Meiri's sisters get caugth on their way to pick up their sister and so their panrents ground them. Meiri wants to say goodbye to a sailor she meet the day after she gets confiened to her room so her sisters approach her and one of them disguises herself as Meiri while the real one sneaks off. In the instrumental she's running to town to give her sailor one "see you soon" kiss.

I can see this in my mind vividly: Mheiri and her sisters going to the evening market. Mheiri sneaks off to go dancing with her sailor. They find them both in a large crowd, dancing with one another. They try to get to her to bring her home, slowly but surely they get swept up into the music and revelry.
Damn, Meiri...go home! You're drunk, and making a fool of yourself, and you've got a job to go to in the morning!

I want to live in a world with an atmosphere like this song
YES! it would be so magical
Most definitely.
You create this world for yourself
I have a little story for you guys, hope you like it.
There once was a lonely siren sitting on a flat rock betwixt a light house and sharp, knife -like stones that pierced every ship it came across. she longed for friends, as her friends in the sea fled the Rocky area, as they were too scared to be seen by the lighthouse keeper, Maria. She waited for months, until a boat came! So she sang. She didn't know any songs other than the one the lighthouse keeper sang, so she opened her mouth and...
*"My heart is pierced by cupid, "*
*"I distain all glittering gold, "*
*" There is nothing can console me, "*
*" But my jolly sailor bold. "*
She closed her mouth. The boat was coming! It kept getting closer... And closer... And... *CRASH!* the boat was smashed up against the sharp stones. she wept. She wept... And wept until she could weep no more. A few more months went by, and another ship passed, and she decided to try again. "This time, this time will be different. I just know it." She thought. But before she could open her mouth, she heard another song coming from the ship.
"... To bring us sugar, and tea, and rum!-"
she interrupted their song and began to sing the lighthouse keeper 's
*"My heart is pierced by cupid, "*
*" I distain all glittering gold, "*
But she stopped half way through Maria's song. She caught a glimpse of the sailor on the ship. He had black hair, beautiful grey eyes, and a lean, but firm body. He stared at her like no other sailor had stared at her before. He was perfect in her eyes. "But the rocks!" she thought, suddenly going into a state of panic. She frantically pointed at the sharp rocks, trying to warn him. He glanced over, seeing them, and ordered his men around. They had just missed the rocks. But the siren was still thinking about the sailor. And she wished. She wished she could see him again. She wished and she hoped and she dreamt and believed with every fiber of her being. And, she swam all the way to the bottom of the ocean, and saw a glimmering grey shell, and she picked it up, as it reminded her of her sailor's eyes. An nd the next day, she woke up on her rock... But something felt different... She looked down and.... "AHHHHHHH!" she gave out a shrill scream. She tail had been replaced with legs! " who's there?! " she heard a voice out in the fog. It sounded familiar though... A young woman came out and asked again. "Who's there!?" the young woman looked across the beach to see a naked woman sitting on a flat rock, looked just as suprised as she imagined she looked. The former siren began to get into the water, and then swimming over to the young woman. She got out of the water, onto the beach, and began to, stand up next to the woman, and "ouch!" She fell right on the sand. The woman broke the confused trance she was in and tried to help her up. "Are you alright, lass?" The woman asked. " I'm not sure... " "... Well I'm Maria." " Oh, so you're the one I've been hearing from above; in the lighthouse? " "err, I guess..."
A week goes by, as the siren stayed with Maria, telling her about all the tales she's been though, and have herself the name, Méirí. Or, well, Maria gave her the name. She learned to walk, she learned to run she learned to sing different songs, (with the help of Maria of course) and awaited the day she ran into her sailor. But, the one thing she kept from her time at the sea was the grey shell she now called the "wishing shell".
She and Maria were in town, when "Maria!! There he is!!" Méirí frantically pointed to him; the same sailor she had seen that day. So she began to sing. A song about her sailor that her and Maria had made over that week.
"Look how the lights of the town, the lights of the town, are shining now"
And the rest was a blur. She danced and sang with her sailor. It was the most happiest time of her life. As the music stopped, he said "Who are you?" With the happiest smile Méirí had ever seen.
*" I am Méirí and I love you. "*
Don't read this please its cringe- (the only reason I'm not deleting it is because I spent a solid hour writing it)
this is better then lots of books i have read ill give it a solid 8.5/10
10/10 my friend! I loved this! I want to read more of this, if possible please.
After hearing this song i cant control my smiling ..mood booster❤
I love how she'a still chasing her dream.
So...I listen to this song when I am writting my book. It has LOTS of celtic, germanic and nordic mytholgy. Wait for it, it will be called "Las Crónicas de Navír"
Wish you all the luck with it. I hope I will have a chance to read it one day ❤️❤️❤️
I'll be there

If you need any wise ghosts you can search up witte wieven I don't know alot about them but I've started searching more into dutch mythology since I've always felt really distant to my culture, I even used to think we didn't have any culture and got sad lol (edit: the Netherlands is germanic)
Oh, I'll be waiting, dear. Mythology is delightful.
This makes me want to go run around my town in a cool outfit at night
Celtic/Irish folk music is my favorite kind of music, as I don’t relate to many others(I’m Aro/ace). This is my comfort song, and I love it.
The interpretation in the description is cool, but I think of the voices of the other people toward Meiri are actually her dwelling on the opposition people have told herself. I think this is most apparent when it says "The sailors they come and they go, but listen to what's reminding you." Meiri is full of second thoughts about this, remembering her responsibilities (You've got work to do in the morning) and remembering her betrothed. Eventually she decides to turn back away from Galway and goes back home to stay with her betrothed (I'm falling for the flow of home) and decides to dance with him instead, which is very beautiful.
Either way, a really great song.
When I hear this song it feels like there a whole world full of magic!!Who agrees😳😳😳😳
It is! And its this world!

Reminds me of Tangled when Rapunzel finally goes back to the kingdom and dances around with Eugene and the folks
i can totally imagine walking through a lively celtic seaside town near the harbor with the sunset on the horizon and the market in full swing with kids running around when i listen to this.
For some reason this reminds me of faeries who lure humans to their world then they can't go home to the human realm so they dance with the fae ( just i.n case you don't know when mortals dance in the far realm the have to keep dancing until someone who is fae makes them or the music is over)
journey lamson ah yes le fae folk mischievous yet witty
I see we have a witch in here
@Nedi Shehu Who me
I want to learn this language so bad 😭
So do I
It's Gaelic if you want to know the name, I got to a Gaelic school it's also the Irish one not the Scottish one

So just do it. I am already.
i’m fluent😛😛😛
This song makes me feel like singing and dancing in the song it sounds like joy and happiness the singer sounds so positive it can make the saddest person smile with happiness
My family if from Ireland and Scotland I’ve never sang this before and I just sang all of it even the galic parts and my cousin who knows more than me says I did amazingly for my first time
I know that it is intended to be the father singing but I imagine the women in the village gossiping about her as they go about their days
Umh its Not other Woman gossippig 😅opsie daysie

Written any?
How goes the story? :)

EYYYY SAME
update?
I love being of Celtic descent! The music of my ancestors is enchanting. 💗
This is a pretty recent song
I've never made a woman run away from home and I've been a traveling man my whole life. The sailors in Galway must really be something.
lol loved your comment
This song is my whole life in an Irish primary school, we would sing it almost every day but completely in irish
No other song has ever made me want to be Irish so badly, I swear down everytime I listen to it I feel like I really am a wild Irish girl running away to Galway
EDIT: I found out after making this comment that I have relatively recent Irish ancestry. How incredibly ironic and also exciting :)
I’m a dude and that’s how it makes me feel.
Hehe, the benefits of being irish are these songs 😂
@@chanceking8991 so...
no surprise there lol
Same I want to as well
Officially choreographing a dance to this and even if I listen to it continuously I don’t think imma get tired of it 😂
So did you actually do that?

I'm coming up with a solo for color guard to this song to represent my culture in a way
This song is just so good for no reason
Am I the only one on Mhéirí's side? XD
no...
Nah
No the song is actually on her side too

Nope
Look how the light of the town
The lights of the town are shining now
Tonight I'll be dancing around
I'm off on the road to Galway now
Look how she's off on the town
She's off on a search for sailors though
There's fine fellas here to be found
She's never been one to stay at home
Home you'll go and it's there you'll stay
And you've work to do in the morning
Give up your dream of going away
Forget your sailors in Galway
Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta
Come now and follow me down
Down to the lights of Galway where
There's fine sailors walking the town
And waiting to meet the ladies there
Watch now he'll soon be along
He's finer than any sailor so
Come on now pick up your spoons
He's waiting to hear you play them WHOOO!
Here today and she's gone tomorrow
And next she's going to Galway
Jiggin' around and off to town
And won't be back until morning
Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta
Off with a spring in my step
The sailors are searching Galway for
A young lady such as myself
For reels and jigs and maybe more
Stay here and never you mind
The lights of the town are blinding you
The sailors they come and they go
But listen to what's reminding you
Handsome men surrounding you
Dancing a reel around you
Home you'll go and it's there you'll stay
And you've work to do in the morning
Give up your dream of going away
Forget your sailors in Galway
Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta
Listen to the music flow
I'm falling for the flow of home
I'm home to dance till dawning
Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta
Stay a while and we'll dance together now
As the light is falling
We'll reel away till the break of day
And dance together till morning
Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta
Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta
Do Mhargadh de - do mhargadh déanta
Thanks🥰
Woah thanks! So much work and I appreciate it :)
this song inspired one of my fave characters that I’ve created!
her name is Mheri (like in the song) and she’d love to run away from her small mountain town and become a pilot!
This song was the inspiration for my current D&D character, also named Mheiri (though I spell it Maehri). Naturally, she's a bard. 😀
I remember this song from when I was young... this was how it was explained to me
The girl wanted to be with a sailor
Her sister wanted her to stay
Her mom wanted her to stay as well.
“Forget your sailors in Galway”
Talking about the sailor she wants to be with
This song makes me feel like I’m in a tavern in the woods dancing and twirling singing with a crowd
Ikr!
Why does this make me nostalgic?
Past life man
Every time this song is turn on, i can't stop my from dancing
I feel like i'm dancing by myseld in a old town to the music of a bard as the crowd cheers me to keep going, watching and enjoying my twirls and moves. I love it!
Why did it take me this long to discover this style.. It’s flipping awesome :”)
They have tones more if you liked this song they do beautiful renditions of songs old and new too
Ccf.Sketch Irish songs are just beautiful. If you like this you should listen to foggy dew or rattlin bog
hey im new too!!
what are some good songs that you would recommend?
Ccf.Sketch same to me! Loving the Celtic music now.
I love that you guys have the music with the lyrics and translation. My daughter wants some of theses songs played at her sweet 16
Well, at least she has good taste in music, then!
I live about 2 hours away from Galway so me just chillin on the couch under a blanket because its freezing is making me proud of this song for some reason 😂
Lol
Every time any song/show/book mentions anything in Wisconsin, I get weirdly proud as well.
I have to thank this song for spawning one of my essential characters for a story of mine, into my mind. She's an interesting character to write.
Here from tik tok. Probably the prettiest song I have ever heard
rendezvous lol at least I’m not the only one couldn’t figure out what it was from
same
Where on TikTok, do you have a video?
@@beep37 I am sorry. I had deleted TikTok a couple months ago, so I wouldn't be able to help you :(
Ahhh i know
I certainly hope Méirí gets to follow her dreams. Being stuck in your hometown all your life sucks, especially when explicitly told to give up your dreams
my new favorite song 😂
Same! XD👍🏻✨
The surefire song to lift my spirits 😊
Epic song. Celtic Woman put this song in a Oscar winning film ASAP
My 8 year old granddaughter wants to learn to sing this song, especially the Gaelic. She will love this video with the words and translation.
Check out the live stage version😋
@@johnvanryan1882 We will. Thank you. She has learned all the English words and can dance to it. As she says....it's in her DNA--Irish, Scots Irish, Scots, and English.
1st lesson, we call it Irish, not Gaelic. It's great she wants to learn Irish, I wish more of my countrymen felt the same.
I have made an entire animation in my head for this song! Now I need to learn how to animate...
This makes me feel free and makes me run faster. I like it
Mheri: can I go to Galway to get fellows?
Friends: we have fellows at home
(I’m so sorry for this the thought just popped into my head)
Fellows at home: (-30)
Fellows at home: *arranged marriage*
YES 😂😂😂
I'm usually tired of this joke format, but you made me laugh😂😂 so great job👍😂
hahahahahaha
I love this story, and the music!
I hope one day I can properly learn Gaelic!
Duolingo (a website) teaches Gaelic for free. I've been using it to learn the language, recently
I'm also learning on Duolingo!
Nik C
I tried it (the app) and it didn’t help me learn it at all.It was basically just a “guess what this means” game and didn’t even tell me how to pronounce it, it was just “Hey here’s how this word is written...guess what it means”
ThatWeirdGirl, the Duolingo desktop version has a lot more information. Especially in the tips and tricks section! The comments section is invaluable as well. You can also try Memrise for memorization. I've been having a lot of fun learning Irish.
JadeZ Beanz Irish it's Irish Gaelic not GAELIC unless you're on about football
I'm Half Irish, Half English. I was born and raised in England and songs like this are the way i feel my soul connects to where my heart actually belongs to. My green land of Ireland. I yearn.
i was obsessed with this song like 2 years
And now…….?🤔
@@joshneil2314 i still listen to it and think abt the times 💓
I have a little question : is this song in old Irish or is it a recent version ? I was wondering because it looks like an old song, but maybe I'm not right. Anyway, it is such a beautiful and a mystical language. When I hear it, I imagine a fairy forest.
It's a traditional tune, but this is definitely modern Irish :)
It is a traditional Irish song, but I love how they've put their own modern twist on it
Yeah it makes me think of a fairy forest as well.
I'm Irish but don't know Irish tho
My country has beautiful music
Yes, absolutely
This takes me to a place in the Baltic, at night, surrounded by snow, trees, frost and light✨
i love these songs
song : exist
tik tok: tickity tockety this is now my property
Well fuck
I hate that tick tok has used this song in their app this song is a story for the Irish people
Wait what, don't tell me tick tock is using this lmao
Robinisnotkawaii yeah they are
And what if we are
the song just BUILDS so well. Aghh
This song deserves to be popular. I love the feeling that I knew this song before it became popular😼
You posted this comment 3 weeks ago tho 💀
@@prettiest_boy_in_town Yes,i know🤨
@@riuchi5967 the song went popular at least over a month ago, you didn't "know" that it was going to be popular _before_ it was popular, not trying be rude
@@prettiest_boy_in_town I am not English and foreign content is recommended to me much later, because first they show in the language of the country in which I live. And I listened to this song for a long time without leaving comments, but when I began to come across a video more often, I decided to write a comment anyway (I wrote it myself so there may be mistakes)
@@riuchi5967 It's okay, I understand. I'm actually not European or American either, I'm from India. And a lot of trends are recommended late to me too
Everybody listening??..🥳🥳🥳
