@@chriscollins9104 no. The French would be Franco-Saxons. And even ignoring that you're wrong. The Anglo-Saxons (those who would become brits) were Germanic, not Celtic. English is a Germanic language, as was old English, Gaelic is a Celtic language, like Scottish and Manx. The English are largely responsible for the damage to irish culture and language, through such things as Catholic schools, which when first used were very much the model upon which Canadian residential schools were built upon, and multiple murders committed by Saint Patrick, who killed a large quantity of the Irish population. Many think Saint Patrick was Irish, but anyone with a brain cell knows otherwise, as his name has the English spelling (the Irish spelling being Patric without the K)
The celtic people are germanic also before you start thinking they are from Ireland, heres a little tip we all migrated to these lands before they split off from mainland europe
My mother's side is Irish. A few years ago I was shot up in Afghanistan. As they were flying me from the military hospital in Landstuhl to the States, my wounds started bleeding out, and they were running out of blood on the plane. The pilots decided to make an emergency, unauthorized landing in Ireland. The Irish were more than accepting, and I was taken to the hospital in Limerick where I was stabilized by Irish doctors and nurses. I owe the Irish my life. I'll come home someday and show my gratitude. Brotherly love from an American soldier.
Thanks for taking the time to share your story. Great to hear about your Irish Heritage and your heroic tale. Until you do come home to Irleand again let this music bring you there from time to time.
As a brother in arm from France, your history is fantastic bro. This also bring me tears cause some of my brothers got shot in operation. Came to finally this song... Gotta get stronger and keep your head up after that. Big salute from a brother in arm from France dude.
@@adrienodoyer6316 Ils ne passeront pas. The French earned my respect at Verdun, the Somme, and the Marne. Salute to your warrior class and native soil, brother.
That Celtic style of vocals, so crystal clear and sweet, is just stunning. Those women could sing a grocery list and it would bring tears to one's eyes.
For all I know, they ARE singing a grocery list, but, yeah, I'm still brushing a little mist from my eye, and I bought only a few potatoes and NO onions. Those tricksy fairies!
I'm from Australia , I'm an Aboriginal Australian. My grandmother was from Ireland and want to say this stuff is beautiful . Respect and love my long lost brothers and sisters across the seas ✊❤
That’s beautiful, I’m from Australia myself, though I’m a white Australian, I agree with you completely. Listening to this stuff really makes me miss them. Love this country to bits but I also want to go home, yknow. Have a nice day!
Aboriginals are the in between form of early humans and many groups of modern people split from them between blacks, caucasion and Orientals in phenotypes. From there the many groups carried the stone age hunter and witch dr life style and took it to their respective continent. Europe, asia and America's.
as a kid i never understood why my dad liked this type of music of road trips. as an older man i understand its because its beautiful to listen to. makes me proud to have roots in Celtic culture
That's the Scots. Hillbillies are named after Kingsmen(followers of King William(protestants) who fought on both sides of the American revolution then settled in the hills.
there is a term of affection that was used by Irish people to describe anyone of Irish descent, born anywhere in the world and regardless of how small the percentage of being Irish, they are called " Plastic Paddies" as in not the real thing, but the same in every way,
It's saddens me as a irish man that once we got our country back from the British in 1922. That we didn't start speaking Irish again.. if we did we would all be speaking it now.. its sad what the brits took away..
Learn the language. You can speak two you know. Preserve the culture but use English for its economic advantages, especially tourism and the ability to travel nearly everywhere in the world. PS. and to make youtube comments.
I flew over Ireland in my early 20s and asked some one....:"what is that beautiful green thing in the sea. I heard Ireland and some sensation of something dropping from my solar plexus overwhelmed me. Tears started falling. I absolutely must go back and be there.
The moment I heard the singing I was immediately overwhelmed with a feeling of comfort and I dont know why. It's a feeling I havent felt in awhile, thank you truly
I have just seen this comment and laughed, even if its 2 years old. I am back here listening to this song obsessively again (as well as the version by Liam O Manolai) because another singer I follow, American i believe but looks Irish and has skill for the language and singing styles... She (Malinda) put up a short video of her singing a song called Dulaman and it was so beautiful and i was struggling to explain... So i settled for saying how beautiful it was and how happy it made me feel because it felt like home, it was beautiful and yet comfortable and calming. This led me to leaving a second message asking if she had heard this song as i felt she would appreciate the skill and beauty of it. Then i linked this video and Liam O Manolai's version too... It does sound very different in a male voice but i love both versions so much for the differences they bring to the song. Being reminded of how much i love the different styles of music from across Ireland and Northern Ireland has sent me on a new hyperfocus that will have me listening to nothing else for about a year and researching obsessively 😂
i see so many people of different nationalities and ethnical backgrounds sharing beautiful words about the emotions this song brought them and it honestly makes the whole experience even more amazing. no matter who you are and where you are in the world, this language and these voices sound compelling to everyone. ireland is a beautiful country of amazing people who endured so much suffering throughout the history and are still standing tall and carrying on the magical songs of their ancestors. tons of love from moscow
There's absolutely nothing in this world that pierces my soul quite like the soft singing of an Irish woman. I'm always left with this enchanted and sereen feeling and maybe in a manner of speaking a little sad afterwards. As if I'm missing a home I never knew.
Well said sir , i agree. The voice of an Irish woman holds the ancient ethereal sound of Ireland . This is heard in the voice and music of Enya, Sinead o' Connor , Delores o' Riardon from The Cranberries and others . Check out Madelyn Monaghan singing Roisin Dubh ...a truely enchanting gaelic song sung beautifully.
I don't have any Irish blood that I'm aware of, but this resonates with me in a way I can't explain. Fighting is fun and romance is satisfiyingly melancholy.
I have a house in Cape Breton which is the only remnant of Gaelic speaking in North America. They've started to teach it again in schools. Also home to the only Gaelic college in N. America. Would love to hear this performed there. The song is beautiful beyond words.
I have no idea to this day what these two Gaelic ladies are singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they're singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it.
Why did they remove the original upload. This is my daughters lullaby and just realized we have been listening to this version the last several months. Thank you so much for the re upload, my daughter Eleanor appreciates it.

Well spoken! I am glad one knows somewhat of the history and is willing to share!. Thank you and hope all is and will continue to be well for you and yours. Be strong my gallant heroes! You are worth it!
Eileanóir is not the narrator. It's her admirer. "Mo ghrá den chéad fhéachaint thú, a Eileanóir na Rún" "You're my love from first sight, o Eleanor of the Secrets".
My family came from Ireland long ago. I've always felt Irish even before I knew my own lineage. The entire Irish culture seems so familiar to me. Not to mention I find Irish women to be the most beautiful creatures on earth. If ever an Irish redhead sang to me like this. I'd have a stroke.
Well I'm a Farrell too & love to sing ... usually with guitar. Yet this duo Celtic songsters shiver up me s;pine. Back to Emerald Isle again one day love to say................
@@CelticSongs it was overwhelming stepping foot onto Ireland, walking about in St. Stephens on the green in the park, seeing the type of boats that carried them to America
As someone from Irish and Scottish Ancestry, I don't understand, but I love it. Brings peace to my heart... I so desperately want to come back, to my Ancestry's homeland, and learn the language
I have never heard a more beautiful sound in me life. I so wish I could hear those words with an understanding of that language which was lost in this Irish life lived in the USA.
This is what I have lost. My great great grandfather came from County Cork. We lost our language, our Irish citizenship and some of our cultural heritage. We still know how to make traditional Irish soup, and some potato dishes, but not much else. And I still love potatoes and steak for a meal. And I seem to be able to understand Scottish, Irish and welsh accents pretty good, and seem to have a knack for learning, Celtic languages easier,
I lived in Dublin for 3 years and during this time I had the change to travel to the west cost of Ireland, me and my friend drove all the Ring of Kerry making stops in different places, whenever we saw a breathtaking landscape we parked along the road to look at it, listening to this song reminds me all those beautiful places in Ireland. God bless Ireland and Scotland. Greeting from Mexico my friends.
Auch wenn ich die Sprache nicht verstehe finde ich diese Musik sehr schön. Diese Musik muss man mit dem Herzen hören. Wüsste gerne,wer die Sängerinnen sind.
Im greek and i lived in Scotland for a couple of years when i was young. This culture is amazing, i was impressed!! The music the history is fascinating!!
I watched this and felt really at peace, like really at peace, I've been struggling with depression for the last 3 years, maybe more, I've kind of lost count at this point, and this song put that at complete ease for the first time in... well a really long time. So I listened, all the way through, and then gave it a few minutes, and I'm already back, and I feel at peace again. This is some of the most beautiful stuff I've heard, and I'm glad it's part of my family heritage. I'm American but I'm a 4th generation American, my family came here from Galway and Cork in 1912 and 1914.
I am grateful to have been connected to a truly genuine lad in dublin who has introduced so much of his Irish culture that I was unaware of..... He has opened my eyes to the gaelic lingo, the irish people as a whole, the native american monument to which we connected with my native american culture. Our strong connection is through music and I now appreciate a good irish trad and this song was so beautifully performed. Thanks for sharing. Shout out of the Bay Area of California 💚 Also, a huge thank you to Ireland for those of you who donated to the Navajo Nations during covid to helping my tribe. Sending much 💚
Thank you for taking the time to leave that comment. We have a bond with Native Americans which was sealed during the darkest hours of the famine with a donation by the Choctaw tribe to Ireland in 1847. It is fitting and our honour to return that wonderful act of good will and kindness during your struggles with Covid.
The Irish and Ireland remember the Choctaw Nation's generosity during the trail of tears and Native Americans suffering. We have a lot of historical empathy with Native American and indigenous peoples across the world and are happy to share our culture with you.
I am of Irish heritage, though unfortunately I have not visited Ireland I definitely plan too. Hearing this language genuinely brings tears to my eyes, it sounds so magical. It is the language of the celtic warriors and their adventures across Ireland, the patriots who died throughout the centuries protecting their lands, the men women and children who starved yet still prevailed. It's the song of the Irish 🇮🇪
Hearing these beautiful women sing makes me long for a time and place I’ve never been but recognize o so well in my heart and soul.. god bless the Irish
Earphones in full blast with your eyes closed and youll not get much closer to true peace makes me feel pride to be irish and both of your voices are beautiful 😍
I am proud to have this in my blood, as many generations distant that it may be. I don't really think your heritage has anything to do with you, and I tend to think of tradition and cultural celebration to be foolish. But something about Celtic music vibrates the very blood in my veins, I can see the green grass and feel the cold rain. Music is truly transcendental and these women have created not just a beautiful rendition of a very old song, but a gateway into past lives and sensations that goes beyond the typical capabilities of your 5 senses. Good music is a religious experience
Yes so beautiful my grandfather was Irish and came to Australia at 17 and cleared his farm on his own to plant wheat and have sheep pasture paddocks Ireland is beautiful 😊😊
I m part native. American with Scotts Irish heritage. I suppose they part of me. Finds this soothing to my ear. A sweet. Sound. That soothes the heart. And warms the soul,,,
Beautiful voices. Ireland got a rich heritage and couture, I read that Ireland and the Irish people saved literature during the dark and Middle Ages. They have a lot of castles that go back to the 1100 hundreds and even before that and they know the history of most of these old buildings. I read that there’s a manmade wall and building that are over 5,000 years old in Ireland.
@JohnPatrickLayden Glad you liked it. What you say is true, Ireland maintained Western culture while the Dark Ages settled on Europe Irish monks and scribes maintained the very record of Western civilisation -- copying manuscripts of Greek and Latin writers, both pagan and Christian, while libraries and learning on the continent were forever lost Ireland become "the isle of saints and scholars" -- and thus preserve Western culture. Not only are their old castles but also Newgrange ia prehistoric monument in Ireland, built during the Neolithic period, around 3200 BC, making it older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids.
If mankind ever discovers another habitable planet and has a way to get there, I say populate it with irish people for a thousand years before anyone else is allowed to visit. This way we can see what language and culture would of created without being handicapped by the british.
I envy the songs your culture has. In my area, I don’t feel like I have deep roots, especially since my grandparents came from other countries and forgot how to speak their original language. There is also not much culture from their past left and I sometimes long for things like traditions, songs, a language I truly feel a connection to.
I'm Indian living in Australia for a decade now. Arthurian legends and Celtic culture has fascinated me from my childhood. Celtic music gives me such a peaceful feeling like Im living in the Irish highlands.
There is so much soul in their singing and this song. It's an experience to just hear this. Thanks to the ladies and all the musicians in this. Cheers!
@@CelticSongs Yes true, we only got the sea shanty's of those that travelled here passed down , their songs of excitement of a new life and the lament, longing for home. but nothing before that. but hearing this it is always alive in all of us across the globe, I want to come home.
It amazes me that when you have Irish in your blood (my grandparents were born in Mayo), traditional music sung in Irish touches your soul like no other. Just beautiful!
I have a tad bit of Irish in me, though I've got most forms of Caucasian in me ngl, but I think it's just the beauty and simplicity of such a stunning folk song that touches the soul. It sounds like such a home-y song (I'm listening without English translation). Beautiful.
Everyone thinks the music and language is beautiful, but I rarely see it move them to tears the way it does me. Nor do I hear songs in other languages touch me the same way as ceol as Gaelige. I often get emotional hearing good music. However, Irish music makes me feel things deep down in my soul. It makes me nostalgic for a place in time I've never been, but somehow seem to hold memory of.
Beautiful voice, beautiful ladies, beautiful words sung in its native language. The culture and people die when their language is forgotten. Much respect from Dixie--the American South.
That was just beautiful, don’t understand the words, but it seems to me that this language is made for singing, it just flows so well. Thank you from a English fan.
im not from irland but theres such a warm feeling inside my brain and my flesh when i hear such beautifull songs even i dont understand the words. Thank you for your voices
Most of my relatives came from Ireland and last year was the first time I heard Gaelic spoken or sung, I think the Gaelic women are great and if they cone to my state next year, I’m going to see them.
I had a complete roundtrip in Ireland in 2013 (Dublin, Kilkenny, Cork, Dingle, Tralee, Galway, the Aran Islands). It was beautiful. What took me most was was the landscape, the nice people to talk to and the music. Ireland itself it a beautiful place.
Very few sounds more beautiful than Gaelic sung like this. If ever there was a language more well suited for beautiful voices, I have yet to hear it. Thank you for keeping it alive & for blessing the world with your talents. When I have trouble sleeping, songs like these are the perfect lullaby.
Thank God the Brits did not totally destroy the Irish and the Gaelic language

I'm asian.. but i'm fascinated with the gaelic way of singing.. i love both irish n scotts airs..
My family came from Ireland long ago. I've always felt Irish even before I knew my own lineage. The entire Irish culture seems so familiar to me. Not to mention I find Irish women to be the most beautiful creatures on earth. If ever an Irish redhead sang to me like this. I'd have a stroke.
Irish women typically have darker features. If you want a Celtic redhead, try the Scottish!
Well I'm a Farrell too & love to sing ... usually with guitar. Yet this duo Celtic songsters shiver up me s;pine. Back to Emerald Isle again one day love to say................
My father’s family came from Ireland and I was the first one in the family to set foot back in our homeland in 2017 since the famine.
Wow thats amazing, I'm sure they were all with you in spirit as you made the return journey.
@@CelticSongs it was overwhelming stepping foot onto Ireland, walking about in St. Stephens on the green in the park, seeing the type of boats that carried them to America
This is absolutely the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. 😢
As someone from Irish and Scottish Ancestry, I don't understand, but I love it. Brings peace to my heart... I so desperately want to come back, to my Ancestry's homeland, and learn the language
I have never heard a more beautiful sound in me life. I so wish I could hear those words with an understanding of that language which was lost in this Irish life lived in the USA.
This song is so beautiful I get lost in the gorgeous nature of the Gaelic language. It makes tear up every time.
This is what I have lost. My great great grandfather came from County Cork. We lost our language, our Irish citizenship and some of our cultural heritage. We still know how to make traditional Irish soup, and some potato dishes, but not much else. And I still love potatoes and steak for a meal. And I seem to be able to understand Scottish, Irish and welsh accents pretty good, and seem to have a knack for learning, Celtic languages easier,
Thanks for sharing your story. the love for your heritage can easily be seen. Perhaps you haven't lost it but are on a journey to reclaim it.
I lived in Dublin for 3 years and during this time I had the change to travel to the west cost of Ireland, me and my friend drove all the Ring of Kerry making stops in different places, whenever we saw a breathtaking landscape we parked along the road to look at it,
listening to this song reminds me all those beautiful places in Ireland.
God bless Ireland and Scotland.
Greeting from Mexico my friends.
Thanks for sharing!
Auch wenn ich die Sprache nicht verstehe finde ich diese Musik sehr schön. Diese Musik muss man mit dem Herzen hören. Wüsste gerne,wer die Sängerinnen sind.
Die Sängerinnen sind Linda NicLeoid und Niamh Farrell.
My favorite line..."she had another gift I will not tell you about"
it is so beautiful. I don't need to understand the words at all to see it. From Russia with love
I just died and left my ears behind. They had to stay and listen to this one more time. Oh my!
Glad you enjoyed it
intercultural appreciation over the song shows how deeply connected we are at the root.
Im greek and i lived in Scotland for a couple of years when i was young. This culture is amazing, i was impressed!! The music the history is fascinating!!
This song is in Irish and originates from the West Coast of Ireland. A place as beautiful as the Greek Islands but without the weather 😀
They speak a dialect of the Irish language in Scotland called Scots gaelic ,
I watched this and felt really at peace, like really at peace, I've been struggling with depression for the last 3 years, maybe more, I've kind of lost count at this point, and this song put that at complete ease for the first time in... well a really long time. So I listened, all the way through, and then gave it a few minutes, and I'm already back, and I feel at peace again. This is some of the most beautiful stuff I've heard, and I'm glad it's part of my family heritage. I'm American but I'm a 4th generation American, my family came here from Galway and Cork in 1912 and 1914.
That is your ancestors healing power ❤️ God Bless you ❤️🍀❤️
Love from the motherland. Much love.
I am grateful to have been connected to a truly genuine lad in dublin who has introduced so much of his Irish culture that I was unaware of..... He has opened my eyes to the gaelic lingo, the irish people as a whole, the native american monument to which we connected with my native american culture. Our strong connection is through music and I now appreciate a good irish trad and this song was so beautifully performed. Thanks for sharing. Shout out of the Bay Area of California 💚 Also, a huge thank you to Ireland for those of you who donated to the Navajo Nations during covid to helping my tribe. Sending much 💚
Thank you for taking the time to leave that comment. We have a bond with Native Americans which was sealed during the darkest hours of the famine with a donation by the Choctaw tribe to Ireland in 1847. It is fitting and our honour to return that wonderful act of good will and kindness during your struggles with Covid.
Hello Janelle, how are you doing today.
The Irish and Ireland remember the Choctaw Nation's generosity during the trail of tears and Native Americans suffering. We have a lot of historical empathy with Native American and indigenous peoples across the world and are happy to share our culture with you.
Greetings from Romania 🇷🇴
For those who love this kind of songs all love from my heart ❤
I am of Irish heritage, though unfortunately I have not visited Ireland I definitely plan too. Hearing this language genuinely brings tears to my eyes, it sounds so magical. It is the language of the celtic warriors and their adventures across Ireland, the patriots who died throughout the centuries protecting their lands, the men women and children who starved yet still prevailed. It's the song of the Irish 🇮🇪
Hearing these beautiful women sing makes me long for a time and place I’ve never been but recognize o so well in my heart and soul.. god bless the Irish
You must have Irish in your veins if it resonates with you in such a meaningful way
Earphones in full blast with your eyes closed and youll not get much closer to true peace makes me feel pride to be irish and both of your voices are beautiful 😍
I'm from britanny, thank you for that beautiful song my dear Celtics cousins. Kenavo 😊
The ONLY thing missing in this song is the WINGS these girls should be wearing....simply BEAUTIFUL!!!!
I am from Austria and have goosebumps when i listen to this stunning irish/gaelic language. Amazing!
I am proud to have this in my blood, as many generations distant that it may be. I don't really think your heritage has anything to do with you, and I tend to think of tradition and cultural celebration to be foolish. But something about Celtic music vibrates the very blood in my veins, I can see the green grass and feel the cold rain. Music is truly transcendental and these women have created not just a beautiful rendition of a very old song, but a gateway into past lives and sensations that goes beyond the typical capabilities of your 5 senses.
Good music is a religious experience
Yes so beautiful my grandfather was Irish and came to Australia at 17 and cleared his farm on his own to plant wheat and have sheep pasture paddocks Ireland is beautiful 😊😊
Gorgeous
Imagine a home where you wife sings beautiful music like this while you at home resting from working all day for you family. Just heaven on earth.
I m part native. American with Scotts Irish heritage. I suppose they part of me. Finds this soothing to my ear. A sweet. Sound. That soothes the heart. And warms the soul,,,
Well said!
Your ancestors most likely knew as much of this language as you lol, but you don't need Gael ancestors to enjoy music like this
Thank god for having this musik
I don’t think I could live without it. ❤
These women are Gifted with beautiful singing voices...............
Beautiful voices. Ireland got a rich heritage and couture, I read that Ireland and the Irish people saved literature during the dark and Middle Ages. They have a lot of castles that go back to the 1100 hundreds and even before that and they know the history of most of these old buildings. I read that there’s a manmade wall and building that are over 5,000 years old in Ireland.
@JohnPatrickLayden Glad you liked it. What you say is true, Ireland maintained Western culture while the Dark Ages settled on Europe Irish monks and scribes maintained the very record of Western civilisation -- copying manuscripts of Greek and Latin writers, both pagan and Christian, while libraries and learning on the continent were forever lost Ireland become "the isle of saints and scholars" -- and thus preserve Western culture. Not only are their old castles but also Newgrange ia prehistoric monument in Ireland, built during the Neolithic period, around 3200 BC, making it older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids.
Yes Newgrange older than the pyramids
If mankind ever discovers another habitable planet and has a way to get there, I say populate it with irish people for a thousand years before anyone else is allowed to visit. This way we can see what language and culture would of created without being handicapped by the british.
@the dude
What a marvelous thought.
Dude, well said.
I envy the songs your culture has. In my area, I don’t feel like I have deep roots, especially since my grandparents came from other countries and forgot how to speak their original language. There is also not much culture from their past left and I sometimes long for things like traditions, songs, a language I truly feel a connection to.
I'm Indian living in Australia for a decade now. Arthurian legends and Celtic culture has fascinated me from my childhood. Celtic music gives me such a peaceful feeling like Im living in the Irish highlands.
That's great to hear
the expanded use of the Shruti in Irish traditional music isnt a total accident.
@@ifonlyicouldstop interesting.
Celts always knew that music and songs can be magic!
There is so much soul in their singing and this song. It's an experience to just hear this. Thanks to the ladies and all the musicians in this. Cheers!
Never let it fade
My mother , God rest her soul,introduced me to celtic music when I was young and I introduced my children to it and now my grandchildren
My family has been out of Ireland for 150 years (Australia) and this still somehow calls to me.
Its deep within you only to be awoken by the music they would have listened to and the songs they would have sung
@@CelticSongs Yes true, we only got the sea shanty's of those that travelled here passed down , their songs of excitement of a new life and the lament, longing for home. but nothing before that. but hearing this it is always alive in all of us across the globe, I want to come home.
Wow that's hauntingly beautiful what voices
It amazes me that when you have Irish in your blood (my grandparents were born in Mayo), traditional music sung in Irish touches your soul like no other. Just beautiful!
It reaches you on another level
I have a tad bit of Irish in me, though I've got most forms of Caucasian in me ngl, but I think it's just the beauty and simplicity of such a stunning folk song that touches the soul. It sounds like such a home-y song (I'm listening without English translation). Beautiful.
Everyone thinks the music and language is beautiful, but I rarely see it move them to tears the way it does me. Nor do I hear songs in other languages touch me the same way as ceol as Gaelige. I often get emotional hearing good music. However, Irish music makes me feel things deep down in my soul. It makes me nostalgic for a place in time I've never been, but somehow seem to hold memory of.
Hmmm I wonder if traditional Dutch music will do the same for me.
I don't have a drop of Irish blood in me but I love Irish music since I first heard it as a teen.
This voice looks like a piece of heaven.
in one word - BEAUTIFUL 💚💙
Beautiful voice, beautiful ladies, beautiful words sung in its native language. The culture and people die when their language is forgotten. Much respect from Dixie--the American South.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment
That was just beautiful, don’t understand the words, but it seems to me that this language is made for singing, it just flows so well. Thank you from a English fan.
Thank you so much, if you click cc you can click on english translations
I couldn't have said it better. It makes my ears and heart happy to know there's beauty like this.
@@CelticSongs Thank you! I loved it before I could understand it. I may have a small amount of Irish blood. But I love this music.
This is the irish dialect of Gaelic. A beautiful and mesmerizing tongue of words! A language where one can know the meaning from sound alone.
im not from irland but theres such a warm feeling inside my brain and my flesh when i hear such beautifull songs even i dont understand the words.
Thank you for your voices
Most of my relatives came from Ireland and last year was the first time I heard Gaelic spoken or sung, I think the Gaelic women are great and if they cone to my state next year, I’m going to see them.
Singing earth Angels, my heart is happy, my soul dancing 💃 thinking of all my ancestors from Ireland 💜🙏💜
Hello Cynthia, how are you doing today.
I had a complete roundtrip in Ireland in 2013 (Dublin, Kilkenny, Cork, Dingle, Tralee, Galway, the Aran Islands). It was beautiful. What took me most was was the landscape, the nice people to talk to and the music. Ireland itself it a beautiful place.
I think to this at least 30 times since I first heard it last week. It really has touched me and made me feel hope...
Such beautiful music and a beautiful culture! We had best make a stand to save it!
Keep culture and traditions alive!
This is absolutely beautiful to listen to
Couldn't agree more!
A true Irish beauty I'm damn proud of my heritage and where I come from!!! Bray and Sullivan clans forever I stand an Irish native slave to America!!!
My grandmother from county Mayo Ireland was named Eleanor God I miss her. She was the Best woman from Ireland!
I don't know why but this song always brings tear in my eyes. Truly a great song and lovely performance.
It's reaching you on a deep level
Of all the ladies in this group (the 1st singer), her voice sinks into my soul far more than the others.
Fell blessed to be Scottish with Irish grandfather and Irish family glad to be a Celt even if low lander sassenach 😂😂
From France with Love 🌸💚😎🙏
Merci beaucoup
Lovely! Sending our love from Celtic Northern Portugal.
Sending the love back
My ancestors travelled to Ireland a long way back from either North Portugal or North Spain. Hence my surname Moran.
Liam O'Manaoli and Katrina Garcia sing a beautiful Galician song, 13th century, in both Irish and Galacian. It's on RUclips.
Niamh is a national treasure.
One of the most beautiful languages I've ever heard
I keep coming back to this
Cette beauté celtique!!!
Love from France (especially from Britain!)
Very few sounds more beautiful than Gaelic sung like this. If ever there was a language more well suited for beautiful voices, I have yet to hear it. Thank you for keeping it alive & for blessing the world with your talents.
When I have trouble sleeping, songs like these are the perfect lullaby.
Thank you for that supportive comment. Appreciate it
@@CelticSongs thank you for sharing your art with us. Look forward to more in the future!
I'm so happy stuff like this has survived this long and hopefully much longer, it's just so damn beautiful
I love Niamh Farrell's voice. She has such a unique tone.
