- Kate sang this song on an album by the Irish musician Donal Lunny, who played bouzouki on Kate's Night of the Swallow.
The song is called "Mná na hÉireann" which translates to "Women of Ireland". Thank you to those who mentioned the title of the song in their comments, really appreciated.

The song is called 'Women of Ireland' its a traditional song about the courage strength and suffering of Irish women down the centuries who have had to endure losing their sons to war famine and emigration.
@Helen Wright Kate’s mother was Irish. The country is dear to her (she has spoken of this).
Thank you for the explanation. I don't understand any word. But it's fantastic.
❤😊
This song is called Mná na hÉireann (Women of Ireland) in case anyone wants to know.
***** traduce? Well, I guess I could, but wouldn't that be inappropriate and rude?

Translation:
Women, Women of Ireland your glory's in the shade
Your dreams they have gone and decayed
The deeds you have done they all went unsung
By no Bard or no one
For without you there is nothing
Except love songs in the wind
And all of your struggles and dispair
And there were castles in the air
Shout it from every mountain
From every mountain on high
And the four winds will sigh
For Ireland, Ireland's your glory
And your monuments built on your sorrow and pain
For if ever the seas and the oceans run dry
Tears of struggles and of joy
And all of your sadness and your pain
Would fill the oceans up again
Daughters, Daughters of Erin to the Cuman na mBan
Your dream was to see Ireland free
Thru agrarian struggles were determined to win
And from there to begin
There you were dressed for rebellion
But your beauty could not hide
Your sorrow and suffering and dispair
And there were castles in the air
Shout it from every mountain
From every mountain on high
And the four winds will sigh
For Ireland, Ireland's your glory
And your monuments built on your sorrow and pain
For if ever the seas and the oceans run dry
Tears of struggles and of joy
And all of your sadness and your pain
Would fill the oceans up again
Women, Women of courage, you suffered in your silence
You kept Ireland's spirit alive
You were imprisoned, your people enchained
But you never gave in
In troubled days of old Ireland
You were the brave ones who fought
Through oppression and famine and dispair
And there were castles in the air
Shout it from every mountain
From every mountain on high
And the four winds will sigh
For Ireland, Ireland's your glory
And your monuments built on your sorrow and pain
For if ever the seas and the oceans run dry
Tears of struggles and of joy
And all of your sadness and your pain
Would fill the oceans up again
Interesting and inspiring poem -- but it's not a "translation" of this song, just so nobody thinks it is.
😊 Thank you.
I wish she would record a whole album of Irish songs.
saaaammmeeeee, I would buy it in a heartbeat
+Ristrella Conti I will vote for that! I have been a HUGE Kate Bush fan since 1985, and, more recently, a HUGE fan of Celtic Woman, the Irish group who tours all over the world and also has a long list of CD's an DVD's (of which I have them all!) - I would LOVE to see Kate do some work with them, but I am not holding my breath!!
that would be wonderful,,, I'd love to hear her sing paddys lament
She is a Londoner....
Thus the choice is hers.....
@@eugenemurray2940 Her mother is from Waterford. So yes, the choice is hers.
Catherine Kate Bush. Her mother a former accomplished Irish dancer born Country Waterford, Ireland. Always knew Kate Bush looked Irish. Father a doctor and accomplished pianist. Coming from a musical family. Easy to see she has brains and the Irish Beauty, mystical and magical. You have to be Irish to sing this beautiful song.
I can't listen to Kate singing this without crying. It is so, so beautiful 💚💔💚
Yes I agree
We played it at my mam's funeral and I have trouble listening to it and staying dry eyed
I do not understand a word but this is beyond beautiful. It touches my soul in such a way that its incomprehensible. ❤❤💫
Reincarnation
its gaelic irish
lovely tc
It's a song called Women of Ireland
i identify with every word you have written here
Mná na hÉireann - one of the most beautiful Irish songs ever.
This beautiful song is originally called Mna na hEirean(irish). As far as I know, Kate's mother is from Ireland, Waterford County. Please love and favor Irish culture and language.
A perfect example of the power of Kate's singing - I don't understand a word of that yet I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes because it was so beautiful. Thank you for posting this, I hadn't heard it before.
My Irish parents mum 80 and dad 86 love this song so proud they are still with me
I loved this woman in the late 70s and I will love her for ever. This voice is so unique and every time I hear her songs it reminds me of my youth.
Thomas Spitlbauer I'll second that if you don't mind...
Thomas Spitlbauer
So do I
Thomas Spitlbauer until now, i belived i am the only one who loves Kate fullheartly and 4ever :-) :-):-)
+Frank Ruediger Nope! When I was in my early 20's, back in 1985, I met a friend who had lived in England for a time, and he introduced me to Kate's music. He had all of her videos and her albums. He gave me a poster and loaned me a biography on Kate Bush. I was very blown away by her artistry and talent. I taught myself to sing like her so I could sing along with the albums without sounding like an idiot. I had a daughter in 1994. She grew up watching Kate's videos and learned the words and movements in all of her videos. She is now 20, and is probably one of the only girls her age to be a die-hard Kate Bush fan! Yes, I raised her right!!!! So fear not, you are NOT alone!!!! I do believe that we have many, many, many others who share our passion for Kate's music and art!
+Beverly Krebs Thank you so much for your warm and soothing comment!
You raised your daughter very well indeed!
Loved Kate Bush for over 40 years now & I'm gobsmacked to have stumbled across this track, sorry to all Irish people but I didn't understand a single word but what a beautiful song👌🏴/🇨🇮
@Peacelily Promise I'll look into that it's got me intrigued, I busted my ribs at the weekend & I can hardly move 😩
What a talent. What a singer. What a composer. What a interpreter.
I love her till the end of my days.
I grew up in Switzerland and in the late 70 s we where listening Her songs with my sister who died 6 years ago. Beautiful...
Kate Bush is magical to me. She has helped me make art for decades
My mum is Irish too and is now elderly getting very frail, she has alzhimers so this made me very emotional 😢
My family is evenly split between scottish and irish and listening to this music sets my blood flowing. I am traveling to Scotland and Ireland next year to trace back all my family roots. I cant wait. This music is wonderful.
strenght!!!!
It’s been 10 years. If you’re still out there, how did it go?
Fun and wild. It was a blast. Loves the music and visiting different cities and a couple of castles. The people where pretty friendly. My kids tried to copy the accents to expected hilarity. The weather was the only difficulty honestly but we had a good time.
@Peacelily yeah and the irish didn't love to raid their neighbours from time to time..... no side was innocent then. As for the language, the Scottish highland is more of a mix between the Irish Gaelic and Danish. Doubt the Scots are to blame for stealing it
Oh wow Kate Bush our very own beautiful English rose singing in Irish. Wonderful
Her mother is from County Clare in Ireland
@@paulhogan6682 It's Waterford not Clare .
yes Kate Bush is Irish from her dear late Mother ,.. Hannah,..and English from her Late Father Robert Bush,.....:)
To our shame most Irish people don’t understand it… but she almost lets u know what it’s about with her wonderful rendition of the song. It’s about The women of Ireland…. ❤!!
Im irish and im flunt and this and this is absolutely perfect even the way she pronounces the words :')
well said Nicole!
Robroy Mayo its so perfect like i was brought up listening to her and this is just amazing i have actually learned this on piano and will be playing and singing it for my junior cert :)
Nicole.Michelle.Crazyness Hi Nicole, I hope you will post your concert too
Robroy Mayo if i can i will its a state exam so i dunno if i can record
Kate's mum was Irish
As a Kate Bush super-fan, and also a Celtic Woman super-fan, it is thrilling to hear Kate sing a song in the old Irish language of Gaelic! I love to hear that language - it is just musical to hear it spoken! I also have Irish heritage, so there's that!!!! Thanks for posting this! It is one that I have never heard!
Technically it isn't called gaelic, it's called gaelige or Irish.
I didn't know that! Thank you! I saw a written article by a reporter (or some media person!) who was interviewing Chloe Agnew (of Celtic Woman), and they were quoting her as she said something about Gaelic, but since it was a written article, the writer could have spelled the word the way they thought it was spelled. The interview was verbal between that person and Chloe, and was just written up by the reporter. Again, thanks so much for that info!
They (Celtic Woman) do an a capela version in harmony of Danny Boy that would have you sobbing your heart out! And on their 2nd CD, Orla Fallon performs Isle of Innisfree playing harp and singing with her very strong Irish lilt and that will bring tears also! So many of their songs are emotional. Personally, I lose it when they perform Amazing Grace, with piper Andrew (who travels on tour with them and teases that he is the "5th Celtic Woman"!) That song was played at my dad's funeral, then my mum's. Gets me every time! I got my tickets yesterday to the Celtic Woman show in Asheville, NC this coming April. 4th row - not too bad. I'm usually in 1st row but this year we just didn't have the money to buy PBS seats. Hope you get to see them live!
+Beverly Krebs Won't like what is liked at your..
Such an amazing woman, and as a musician she surpasses many, yet she seems to to stay in the background, Amazing Kate, amazing 👏 ❤ 💙 x
ich hörte kate bush das erste mal mit 14jahr ich lieb ihre musik immer noch seit
31jahren.sowas wie kate gibts nie wieder.ich hoffe ihr gehts gut .
This song just breaks my heart. Really stunning.
Partial Translation: (strange verse at the end)
There's a woman in Ireland who'd give me a gem and my fill to drink,
There's a woman in Ireland to whom my singing is sweeter than the music of strings
.....
There's a woman in Ireland who'd envy me if I got naught but a kiss
From a woman at a fair, isn't it strange, and the love I have for them
There's a woman I'd prefer to a battalion, and a hundred of them whom I will never get
And an ugly, swarthy man with no English has a beautiful girl
It seems to me that "swarthy" reference is racist. ( Swarthy means dark skinned)
I found this by accident, I'm a huge Kate Bush fan and even queued up for several hours in Tottenham Court road to get an album signed (still have, unplayed). I had no idea this existed and now I'm sold all over again!
Ditto. How did this escape my radar?
This is one of the most beautiful melodies in the world. It always touches me every time I hear it.
Kate Bush is such a very talented singer, I love her so much!!!
God bless Kate Bush and your voice. Beautiful and unforgettable.
Found this by accident...............staggeringly good.
ohhh it's beautiful her voice is simply wonderful
So very beautiful Kate,we love you,love from Australia.
Perfection.
kate definitely looks like an irish cailin naturally beautiful
I do not call myself a Kate Bush fan.
But Kate Bush is such an unique artist. One in a million. She had some really nice songs back then. She will always be remembered for her great voice and great music.
beautiful song
what can I say I love all of her music.
omg she is so awesome. Looove you Kate. My Mother used to play her all the time when i was a toddler. Reminds me of my Mammy. :)
ALWAYS MESMERIZING !! JUST LOVE HER !! 😍🥰
Loved kate since I was 10 years old . This song is awesomely beautiful
Theres definitely the spirit of a celtic goddess in her
It's so unusual but very nice for me as an Irish person to hear an English person sing this song. Somehow it's a touching, artistic way of contributing to the reconciliation of the two cultures which sadly were so divided.
i'm replying to a 12 year old comment, and I agree. Hope you see this
Kate's mother was Irish, so she is in fact half Irish herself.
She's half Irish.
She's still English. My blood is 100% scottish and irish but I was born in England therefore I am English.
I loved Kate in 1979 and I still do. She is a brilliant talent. I still have a crush .
Oh Wow !!! beautiful song/video of the Beautiful, Unique,Wonderful Kate Bush 👌😽😻💖💏💞🌹❤️💋✨
This is so beautiful, thank you Kate.
I love this song, beautiful. Thanks for posting❤️😉
Gorgeous version of this song!
Utterly gorgeous.
OMG this is the first time I have listened to this one... it's GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!
wow, that's such an amazing performance, she sings wonderfully! Fantastic and tasteful selection of pictures, too!
Very moving ! I get the chills everytime i listen to it. I can feel the powerful Irishness of this 'hymn'.
Thank you very much for this gallery of pics to go with this wonderful song. So very beautiful.
BRAVO KATE !
Too bad you haven't done it earlier...and an entire album in Irish Gaelic, mother tongue of your mother's ancestors !!!
Magnificent song!
thanks very much for posting this video.
Beautiful song,and with Kate`s voice, much more.
Been looking for this song ....thanks for posting so,so much.
Simply beautiful 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
she's half Irish I suppose that's where she gets her dark beauty from
We have dark beauty in England too .
OMG, I have been looking for this song for forever! Thanks for posting!!
Kate spent much time in Ireland. She is genius, she draws from all influences including all outside of Ireland😂😆. This is a beautiful example of one of the wonderful Kate's ventures into either the fun/familiar or the unknown. X
I didn't know of this. It's made my day.
Her musicianships is so superior.
Hildegerd Haugen Och!
You can't do a simple search??? There are hundreds of live recordings of her.. she was the best of the best. Those countries you speak of... you can''t name one contemporary singer of note. You can't live off past glory forever. Their greats are long dead and buried.
WalkingBlues I have known about your existence for about one minute, but I think I love you
That's quiet flattering. I love you too fellow Kate Bush fan, well I love all Kate fan anyway.
Finally! This beauty arrived on spotify: From the remastered album Selections from "The Other Sides" containing rarities & remixes, under the title: Mna Na Heireann. Can't stop playing this one...
I've heard an instrumental version of this song on Mike Oldfield's 'Voyager' album. I think it's called 'Women of Ireland.'
Irish is in her blood and soul, 💖💖🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
First time I heard this I cried. This is the second time... guess what...
RUclips just gets better and better with gems like this being posted. Thanks for doing it.
Love the photo's. I felt like I took a trip down memory lane. Kate is the best!
So beautifull
Cant understand any of this but it makes my heart ache
thank you, thank you VERY MUCH FOR THIS REAL GEM!!!!
It's priceless.
this composition is simply amazing...and her voice is the sweetest instrument playing... I luv thee Kate!!!!!
I have always loved her music as a kid she was just so important for me army dreamers! this song is In glaic so beutifull come on kate do something like this again
at least make a tiny tiny effort to spell foreign words correctly ..............or STFU
Her voice suits Irish/Celtic music to a tee :-)
great song and photo collage. thx for upload and creation
Beautifull Kate Bush, beautifull song, beautifull lenguage and I understand only one word - Eireann (Ireland)
even nowadays there are still some rare moments in life when you think there is a god. this song is one of those moments.
I have just been made an Irish citizen, I am learning Irish, and I am a huge Kate Bush fan! So this is right up my street. Go hiontach ar fad!
Omhairdgeas! Táim chomh bródúil nuair a fheicim eachtrannaigh ag foghlaim ár dteanga. Go raibh mile maith agat a cara.
Congratulations. 👍
Beautiful no words💚💚💚
I've just become a Kate Bush fan...again. Every time I get to see and hear her perfomances I'm hooked and enthralled all over again. Been a fan from the cassette days over 30 years.
Beautiful
Unearthly and staggeringly beautiful. I don't want a translation, the mystery is part of the magic.
Not bad for an Essex Girl. Kate's No 1 in my book!
Her mother is Irish
Carmen Gonzalez That says it all! Thanks.
Her English side is from Kent not Essex.
Whatever....You just made all the aspiring Essex Girls want to throw their white stilettos at you ! Nice One!
Trye out here french songs
What a beautifully rich and lush song, sung by one of the most prolific singer/songwriters of my generation
What an amazing voice! And this vid shows the breadth of her theatrical side. Thanks for the posting!!
WOW! AND DID YOU KNOW KATE IS HALF IRISH? A WOMAN OF IRELAND!
her pronunciation is good for someone who (as far as i know) doesnt speak irish
its just such a beautiful song, this brings me to tears every time! :')
lankyangie96 Couldn't agree more. Shockingly good. IMHO her pronunciation is better (and more comprehensible!) than many non-native Gaelic-speaking Irish performers.
lankyangie96 Her mother was Irish and she spoke Irish as a child
lankyangie96 I read somewhere she consulted with some expert in the field to get the pronunciation right and spent a lot of time on it!
Mammy & Daddy Bush are from Wexford.
🌹🌺🥀🌻🪷🪁 thank You beautiful Kate to pay Tribute to those strong Irish women liké S.O'Connor who recently left us 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Beautifully done photo montage! The song is simply so gorgeous it's bringing tears to my eyes. Kate Bush is a hugely talented singer and this song, well, just confirms it.
Kate Bush. There is difference in singing, and "singing". Her voice is one thing, but you understand it is so much more, when she performs.
Kate sang this song on an album by the Irish musician Donal Lunny, who played bouzouki on Kate's Night of the Swallow.
The song is called "Mná na hÉireann" which translates to "Women of Ireland". Thank you to those who mentioned the title of the song in their comments, really appreciated.
wow, this is beautiful, i havn't been able to enjoy the experience of hearing a kate bush song for the first time in months - this is fantastic. I have to go buy this song now : )
Thank you for uploading this, I never knew about this song! And I am an all time fan ever since 1978! It's beautiful.
not bad at all.......
Greetingsfrom IRELAND 😉 salamat for this gem .
Kerry Evans wow u pinoy Tagalog
Just thought you might like to know, Kate in fact is the holder of an Irish passport thanks to here parental heritage.
Merci pour toute ces Merveilleuses Photos !
One of her most beautiful vocals! As a veteran KB fan (nearly 30 years now), I thank you for introducing me to this recording. Just exquisite in every way.
