Hey, I'm Pakistani and i'm in love with this sort of folk music ! ( came here after listerning to Malread's live rendition of" Hills of Ireland " ) I think Music has no boundaries, only tastes. e.g : we have taste for this sort of music, which brings us together on this platform ! btw, i LOVE the way the Scots speak English ! its adorable !
I have Welsh, Irish and Spanish ancestors. Am not entirely Celt and still enjoy this music ! We're all people of the world and music speak to our soul whatever our origins are :D
Okay background to tir na nóg because some people aren’t Irish and don’t know the folklore There was once an Irish prince named Oisin, he knew of the legend of tir na nóg where you would never age and there was a beautiful princess called Niamh but that’s just a legend right? Oisin was out hunting with a few nobles and then one of them accidentally shot him in the back with a bow. The nobles discussed what to do and decided to leave him for dead. Oisin had lost all hope and had accepted he was going to die, he then heard the sounds of hooves, he opened his eyes and there was a beautiful woman, more beautiful than you could ever imagine, she hoisted him onto her horse ( without getting off btw) Oisin awoke in a palace in the middle of the forest which he later learned was called tir na nóg. The woman who had saved him was princess Niamh. Over a few months Niamh and Oisin drew closer and got married. After what seemed like a few years Oisin wanted to say goodbye to his father, he asked Niamh if he could borrow her horse her being the perfect wife she agreed, but gave him a warning not to get off it under any circumstances. Oisin made his way to his fathers castle, upon arrival all he could find were ruins of a castle. Oisin made his way back to tir na nóg but on his way back was an elderly man who’s leg was caught under a heavy stone Oisin, who had forgotten about Niamhs warning got off the horse to help the old man, he lifted the bolder with ease, although a few seconds later Oisin had turned into an old man, older than the man he had helped ( who was pretty old) before a minute had passed since he got off the horse Oisin had died of old age. Legend has it that Niamh is still waiting in tir na nóg for Oisin to return. ( if you want to hear any more Irish folklore like this just ask me I will be happy to tell them)
Okay so this is the myth behind the giants causeway in Belfast There was once a giant called Finn Mac Cool and his wife oonagh. Finn was the biggest and strongest giant in all of Ireland, said to be 54 feet tall and have the strength of 500 men. One day as he was standing outside his house he heard insults from the direction of Scotland, he hurled some nasty insults back and the other giant in Scotland ( benandonner) began hurling huge boulders at Finn to try to make a bridge so they could fight ( those are the rocks that make up the giants causeway) one of them missed and became the Isle of Man. Benandonner ( who was at least twice his size)started to make his way across, making the causeway longer and longer Finn was terrified, he ran to his wife oonagh and asked her to hide him, oonagh found an old cot and some blankets, Finn got in the cot and pretended to be a baby. Benandonner burst into the house and demanded to see Finn Mac Cool Oonagh said calmly that he was out but invited him to stay and wait Benandonner saw the “baby” and asked if Finn was the father ( it’s a 54 foot baby btw) oonagh said of course Benandonner was terrified because if his small baby was 54 foot tall, how tall would the father be He ran back to Scotland destroying the causeway as he went so that Finn couldn’t follow him home I have plenty more where that came from Just ask and you shall receive
As an Irish person, it makes my heart swell with joy to see music like this so well received by such a wide and varied audience. Truly a beautiful piece, and I'm glad others feel the same!
My biological grandfather was the closest link I had to my irish heritage. But he died when my grandma was 7 months pregnant with my mom. So I'm closer to my blackfoot heritage, due to my mom's step dad being half blackfoot (though HIS father left the tribe, as the council wouldn't admit a white woman, my great grandmother).
That's how I imagined celtic music when I was a kid... a lot of people dancing in the forest with green clothes, fairytales, fireflies and goblins around a fire. Nice video!
I had no idea this song existed, even though my mom loves Celtic Woman. my mom named me Tierney after Tir na nÓg, and she got it from a celtic baby name book. This song is unbelievably beautiful, and she’ll be so excited to hear it.
Oh man my fiancé’s last name is Tierney and used to be O’Tierney before they came to the US. And mine is Paden from O’Padden. So funny what a small world 😂😂😂
So soooo glad that there are still songs coming out from Celtic Woman. No matter who is singing or what song they sing, it's always so perfect and enchanting in every way
+piplupcola I see all these criticisms that they're singing a bunch of not Irish music and I feel a little like trash for liking corny songs that I wouldn't ordinarily like, but I still love (most of) them!
Johnny Rockenstire isle of hope, isle of tears is mine. My family came over in the 1890’s and that song brings me to the verge of tears every time thinking about the fear of leaving home. As an American, if I left my home for another, it is my choice, I cannot fathom being forced to leave because your home has become an “isle of hunger, isle of pain” as the song says.
i swear the violinist looks like she hasn't aged a day in years! i adore this music it always speaks so deeply to me and always lifts my mood and takes me to a world dull of life, ancient magic, and a world full of mystery both good and bad. of love and hardships, of trial and reward. i'll always adore Celtic women now and forever!
Lyrics, if anyone is as clueless as I was : Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Saeta-Ceatia nuige Tír na nÓg Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Nuige, Tír na nÓg Come my love our worlds would part The gods will guide us across the dark Come with me and be mine my love Stay and break my heart From the shores through the ancient mist You bear the mark of my elven kiss Clear the way, I will take you home To eternal bliss Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Saeta-Ceatia nuige Tír na nÓg Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Nuige, Tír na nÓg Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Saeta-Ceatia nuige Tír na nÓg Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Nuige, Tír na nÓg Tír na nÓg, oh, come beyond the ancient fog Tír na nÓg, oh, come with me to Tír na nÓg Far away from the land you knew The dawn of day reaches out to you Though it feels like a fairy tale All of this is true Run with me, have a look around We built our life over sacred ground Come my love, our world's may part We'll be safe and sound Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Saeta-Ceatia nuige Tír na nÓg Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Nuige, Tír na nÓg Tír na nÓg, oh, come beyond the ancient fog Tír na nÓg, oh, come with me to Tír na nÓg Time won't follow the path we came The world you left, it forgot your name Stay with me and be mine my love Spare my heart the pain Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Saeta-Ceatia nuige Tír na nÓg Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Nuige, Tír na nÓg Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Saeta-Ceatia nuige Tír na nÓg Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Nuige, Tír na nÓg Tír na nÓg, oh, come beyond the ancient fog Tír na nÓg, oh, come with me to Tír na nÓgCome with me to Tír na nÓg
Long ago, people in Ireland believed that there was a beautiful land in the western sea called Tír na nÓg - The land of the young. It was a place where the trees were always green, the flowers were always in bloom and men and women never grew old. This is the story of how Oisín, the son of Fionn MacCumhail leader of the Fianna, came to go to Tír na n-óg. One morning the Fianna were hunting deer on the shores of Lough Leane in County Kerry. As they rested on a hilltop, a beautiful girl came riding towards them on a snow white horse. She was dressed like a princess and her long golden hair hung to her waist. As she drew near, Fionn called out “What is your name and what land have you come from?” - “I am Niamh of the Golden Hair and my father is King of Tír na nÓg. I have heard of a great warrior named Oisín. I have to come to find him and ask him to return with me to the Land of the Young.” Fionn was sad, for he feared that if Oisín went with Niamh, he would never see him again. But it was too late, Oisín was already in love with the princess. He accepted Niamh’s invitation and waving goodbye to Fionn and his friends, he jumped onto the horse behind Niamh. Away they galloped into the morning mist. Over the land and the sea the fairy horse ran, moving as swiftly as a shadow. At last they reached the golden shores of Tír na nÓg. The king and queen welcomed Oisín and held a great feast in his honour. It was a magical land. Oisín hunted and feasted and at night he told stories of Fionn and the Fianna and of their lives in Ireland. Oisín had never felt as happy as he did with Niamh and before long they were married. Oisín lived in Tír na nÓg for three hundred years, but being so happy, it only seemed like three. Then a great longing came on him to go back to Ireland. Niamh did not want him to go but at last she agreed and gave him the white horse. Niamh warned him “set foot, even once, on the soil of Ireland and you will never return to Tír na nÓg.” When Oisín reached Ireland he found that everything had changed. There was no trace of his father or the fianna. As he passed through Gleann na Smol, the valley of the thrushes, he saw a group of men trying to move a large stone. “I will help you” he said. The mighty Oisín stooped down in his saddle, and with one hand, lifted the stone. But as he did so, the saddle strap broke and he tumble to the ground. Immediately the fairy horse galloped away and a great change came over Oisín. In the blink of an eye the great hero of the Fianna became a withered old man. Unsure of what to do, legend has it that the men brought Oisín to Saint Patrick. Saint Patrick tried to comfort Oisín in his old age. When Oisín learned that the Fianna and his father were long since dead, his heart was filled with sadness. Oisín spoke of the old days of the fianna and the many great deeds of Fionn, when they hunted and feasted and listened to great stories. He spoke of his time in Tír na nÓg and his beautiful wife Niamh. Although Oisín died soon after, the wonderful stories of Niamh and Oisín have lived on.
So the fair folk? Nice folk tale. Better than any comments. Still it MAY have a grain of truth. I can tell you many such tales. Tho banned. History dies hard my friend.
Honestly, this is my favorite variation so far. Others had oisin injured when niamh found him. Some had her merely kidnap him in his sleep. That said, I've read a few theories trying to connect various myths. For instance, one tried connecting Tir Na nÓg to atlantis and el dorado. The same land, but different myths across different cultures, based on what was preferred or desired by that culture.
I was lucky enough to meet these amazing women a few years ago. My wife Daughter and I worked security for concerts as a weekend gig. It was a fun job before COVID hit. These women were some of the best people we ever had a chance to work with. Polite and friendly. They were amazing to see live and great fun to meet. Most performers we meet were not like that LOL.
Just love this type of music.You should do more music with this rhythm. I live the more melancholic ones too, but Celts knew how to party in their times. It's impossible too hear it and don't want to dance.
Is there anyone else who finds Eabha's (the third soloist) voice absolutely enchanting?. I think her voice is a much needed addition to Celtic Woman and I hope they make the most of her time within the group because she is brilliant.
I've been listening to Celtic Women ever since I was a kid, I would watch their concerts on PBS and although I miss the original singers, I'm happy they are making music still. Hopefully one day all the original girls will get together for a concert.
I’m from an old Irish-Welsh family. The Faeries are apart of our history. This song made me cry, it rang deep in my heart. My grandma told me old Irish Faerie Stories and I grew up on Arthurian Lore. This hit deep.
@James Conway I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, I know more about faeries than my grandmother did. I have spent 20 years studying them. I’m well aware that in Ireland, even today, they are very much believed in and feared. She told me of those things in a simple, brief way, but I know better, now ...
we all miss Chloe and Lisa and all the girls, but come on... these girls are amazing and everything changes... I'm so happy for these incredible girls. it's a honour to be able to hear them singing, let's stop complaining about why they changed, and ejoy and be filled with all the power that these new songs can bring us...... and I need a conversation partner u.u , still Learning English... one day I wanna travel to the marvelous Ireland and listen to these girls. I love u
The woman at 2:15 has such a beautiful and unique voice! It sounds much more grounded than the other, more floating voices, but that makes such a nice contrast... I'm babbling again... I'll stop
My people are originally from Sweden and Norway, but the music of the Irish has always haunted my soul. Celtic Woman is hands down the most beautiful and haunting music I have ever heard.
I've always really loved Celtic mythology and Norse mythology and any kind of mythology. I couldn't really see a well paying career out of it so I chose my back up career, Culinary. But music like this and movies that portray my love for mythology always have me second guessing. I hope I can make time for my hobby in the time of being a chef.
They are renewing the tradition, And the music. It's beautiful, And not only do they know the theme, They also find ways to improve it; I highly doubt you even understand what the song's about. That hint of pop, which is really not affecting the music too much, Fits right in.
their dresses are always so pretty 😍😍😍 am I the only one who feels like they're being sucked into a world of fantasy and fairies everytime you hear them sing these types of songs???
I'm from Suriname(South -America) and since I was a little girl hearing celtic music on the radio I fallen in love with it. So enchanted,passionate 😍🧚♀️🧝♀️
I am english born, but my heart has always lain with the Scots, Irish and Welsh.I have never been loyal to england and never worn the dreaded union jack. To Scotland my heart has always been true and always will be, this is the best kind of music and cannot be beaten.
The Celtic Women are beautiful, but there’s just something about Oonagh. She’s so full of joyous life and every move she makes is enchanting somehow. Her voice is incredible too. I love her!
For all non Irish people Yes, Who is it? Yes, who took tea from the land of the young? Yes, Who is it? Nave from Land Come my love our world's may part The gods will guide us across the dark Come with me and be mine my love Stay and break my heart From the shores through the ancient mist You bear the mark of my elven kiss Clear the way, I will take you home To eternal bliss Yes, Who is it? Yes, who took tea from the land of the young? Yes, Who is it? Nave from Land Yes, Who is it? Yes, who took tea from the land of the young? Yes, Who is it?

@@therat4890 I would love to live in Ireland and I love stargazing too. Is it possible to see the heart of the Milky Way in the north coast of Ireland ?
@@GB-ek2em it sure feels like it,, it's so dark up there in winter, and theres so little light pollution, you can see so much more than you ever could in the city or towns
@@therat4890 Thanks for your answer. But I wasn't talking about light pollution, but about the problem of latitude. Indeed, north coast of Ireland is 55°N, and at this latitude, it may be the limit to see MW's heart. I'm at 48° north latitude, and in the middle of summer, the heart of the MW is never high above the horizon. Hence my question.
Want an explanation? Tír na nÓg means "Land of Youth" or is another name for the Otherworld. Tír na nÓg is best known from the tale of Oisín and Niamh. In the tale, Oisín (a human hero) and Niamh (a woman of the Otherworld) fall in love. She brings him to Tír na nÓg on a magical horse that can travel over water. After spending what seems to be three years there, Oisín becomes homesick and wants to return to Ireland. Niamh reluctantly lets him return on the magical horse, but warns him never to touch the ground. When he returns, he finds that 300 years have passed in Ireland. Oisín falls from the horse. He instantly becomes elderly, as the years catch up with him, and he quickly dies of old age. But the song is mostly about their love, told from Niamh's perspective. And the song sounded a whole lot sweeter before I explained it...
I love this so much, my grandma is 100% Irish and I'm 5th or 6th gen American on my mom's mom's side. Irish/Celtic music is so soothing to me and it actually helps me focus.
Oddly enough I'd have to agree with that. My family were once Highland Scot's but for some reason whenever I hear an Irish tune (especially like this) I have to know where it is and where it's coming from 😂
Wow, just, wow. I had this song on repeat for almost 2 hours. 2:13 I LOVE your voice. I was not expecting it to be as deep as it is. Again, LOVE THE SONG!. Very relaxing. I listened to this while I drew my map a my own fantasy elvish land.
My great great grandfather journeyed from Dublin Ireland to America for search of a better life and the first time I heard this song all I could think is the way his eyes lit up when he began his life here leading me to this point. Thank you grandpa Taylor for setting us up in this world of possibilities. Its a shame you passed away a year before I was born. I've heard you were an amazing man. I honor our heritage!!
Hi Just a Black American woman sliding in to the comments to say I’ve been a fan of the original Celtic Woman and my younger sister loves them too. I listen to them sing “O come all ye faithful “ every Christmas 🎄 since I was 18. I’m 29. It’s something so hypnotic about the violin and the flute mixed with the great vocals ✨✨🙌🏾 it’s amazing. I don’t know if I carry some Irish ☘️ blood but it sure feels like it’s possible when I listen to this 😂 I always wanted to visit Ireland 🤷🏾♀️ don’t know maybe to see the Emerald Isle with all that green landscape or maybe to walk down those romantic cobbled streets to grab a pint 🍺 lol but it’s been a dream of mine. Stereotypes aside. I grew up in LA that’s California. And it’s crazy dangerous and glamorous at the same time. But I thought I’d point out that beauty can be felt through more than touch, we can appreciate this music 🎼 and enjoy it almost as much as a Irish ginger lol Honestly it’s magical and we know magic when we hear it. No racism or patriotism can take that away.
I am now fully convinced that Lydia has access to my playlist. Because I have been playing this non-stop for the past two weeks. Beautiful job Lydia! Love you.
I'm germanic, but this feels like a song of a distant cousin, one who shares my values and wants to show me their world, just as I have for them. The Celtic and Germanic peoples were family, plain and simple, and I am proud to enjoy the music that speaks to my Celtic brothers.
Certainly one of my favorite songs. I listen to it on repeat. How fun it would be to sing with Celtic Woman one day. Absolutely beautiful song, well done to everyone involved.
I'm an Australian, of predominantly English descent. But I learned about the faery mythology and Tir na N'og 50 years ago, and am spellbound by this song. For those who are unfamiliar with the tale, look up Ossian.
The song is a traditional Irish Gaelic tune. Tir na Nog is the legendary land of Youth and Beauty. There are thousands of references to it in Irish mythology.
Just look up Celtic Mythology on the web and visit your local library.....if you can find a Celtic Festival near you, that will have tons of reference material and subject matter experts available.
This is basic celt mythology the land of youth (tir na nog) because it was made by freya i bealive and it represented the youth and prosperity of young people and i think lovers as well if i am correct correct me if you know better pls
Im a Norse and Celtic Pagan with Germanic and Irish ancestry in my bloodline, and this kinda music always calls to me and makes me feel so alive and free. My grandmother was the one who got me into Celtic Women, best thing I've ever watched
@@isabelacastillo8116 Yes and im proud to be. We are only 8 % of worlds population and we have a rich and beatiful culture throughout europe. We should preserve it. What are you Spanish ?(assuming by your name) Your ancestors were Celtics.
Yes - Patty Gurdy and Oonagh would be a great combo as they're both from Germany and both do Celtic based work. Though Oonagh's ethnicity is Italian/Bulgar so her real name is neither Celtic nor German - surname Italian, other names Bulgarian
my favorite song ever! and it was a complete accident i discovered it! which then led me to other types of songs like it! its my favorite type of music now!!!
Ok, so as an old "codger" I'm in love with every one of these incredible beauties and their talent in the genre of music is just unmatched by most of their contemporaries. Celtic Women have been around now for several decades and this organization continues to find amazing and wonderful talent to carry on this legacy! I'm not Irish or Scottish or even British but the music they present to us is simply European history and it still resonates with millions around the world because it's "pure" and "real" and "ancient!" There are others who bring us the "roots" of Celtic music like Enya and Loreena McKennitt but this group of amazing performers has taken this "almost forgotten" musical form to a different level. This isn't "River Dance", this is the REAL history of the original Celtic sound and songs. Thanks to all of you who continue to share and present this "musical history" for us all! Don't ever stop! This world needs you now more than ever!
These beauties have been passed around their whole lives and suddenly became Celtic princesses for 3 minutes and melted your brain into a romantic soup. How on earth did you make it to an old age with such naivety ?
@@maalikserebryakov Don't really care what you think of my "melted brain"! And I'm anything but naïve. Love the music and love the songs. Why are you so bitter and negative?
I created an imaginary world when I see this video - green forests with friendly and beautiful people... Now, imagine my surprise when I went to Ireland. My imaginary world exists! I've never met such FRIENDLY people. What a BEAUTIFUL country! TA Ireland!
I've been listening to my old CD's of the Celtic Woman for the last few years so I've missed the transitions between groups. This group of angels reminds me of the original singing foursome. I'm not forgetting the nymph of the violin Máiréad Nesbitt and her ability to hit every cord as she skips and floats over the stage, in high heels - no less. Truly, there is some magic there, beyond the music. Her line of Celtic Violins, especially the "Celtic Dawn", is modeled after her favored instrument. But who are the Sirens who are luring us with their enchanting music and singing voices? • What is the name the goddess in green - 'Oonagh' aka Senta-Sofia Delliponti • or the songbird in Silver - Máiréad Carlin • the blond nightingale in the blue dress - Susan McFadden, • and the minstrel in peach - Éabha McMahon (or at least those are my monitors' colors)
Whats sad is... in the “Titanic” movie, a woman told the story of The Tir Na Nog Island to her children in their last breaths from drowning.....because in “Tir na nog” you have the ability to breath underwater and never grow old.. i cried on it 😭 One of the most hearbreaking scenes In titanic...😢 Edit: Oh wow, thanks for the likes guys :) O.O Edit 2: Jesus! 195! Omg you guys are awesome, we’re almost at 200! :O Edit 3: Oml why is there so many edits lol, but.....THANK YOU FOR 242 LIKES! Edit For The Story: Just so you guys know....I did some research and it actually happened in the real life Titanic 😫😭 Edit 1,000,000: Ok I swear, this is my last edit lol. Thank you so much for sharing thoughts. -Much love, Flix
I wish it had been this song, as it would’ve surely blown the minds of those children before the icy waters claimed them, except I’m sure this song was written too recently to have been used back then. I do recall that (in the movie) the mother was telling her two children a story about Tir Na Nog, though. While it may seem less enticing than a song about the place, it still would’ve left its mark upon their minds as they were falling asleep to the story. No doubt they “woke up on the other side”, where they would indeed be forever young & beautiful. So sad, especially since (in reality) there would’ve been children even younger from that event, taken in far worse ways than those two. It’s enough to break your heart... ✨💔✨
Ariana Hale It hit my heart when I saw that scene, it’s really the most heartbreaking scene in Titinic, the mom doesn’t wanna tell them they’re about drown so she sings a song where you have the ability to breath underwater, and never grow old-and always be beautiful. I can’t believe what happen to them when the actually titanic happen...😢
That is a tragic story and all- however, it was a mistake in the movies part. The other language in this song was from the elven language in Lord of the Rings, which was written *after* the titanic sank.
These Celtic woman send shivers up my spine,highly talented and beautiful,I suppose since all of my known ancesters are either Scottish or Irish my genetic roots must have kicked in.
I'm a mixture of Celt, Viking, Spaniard, and Cherokee and out of the four varieties of music I listen to is Celtic, Norseman, and Cherokee music the most, and that's my heritage, and they always soothe my weary soul, and help heal my warriors heart
"Considering what happened to the last guy who did I'd rather not." Some version of the Tir Na Nog story was that the thing the mortal who went to Tir Na Nog couldn't do was get off the horse he rode to get back to the land of Mortals. When he came back was supposedly when St. Patrick was magic Ireland Christian and he came across a couple of men carrying stones to build a church. They dropped it and he reached out to grab the stone. The stirrup of his saddle snapped and he fell of and promptly aged like no one's business (all 300 years he was gone (3 years in Tir Na Nog) catching up to him all at once.) What makes the version I read sad was that he actually managed to go back to Tir Na Nog but his lady, took one look at him and violently rejected the poor guy in disgust and he was kicked out to live the remainder of his life a shriveled old prune. He was attended to by St. Patrick until he passed away. Now there are two versions of what happened to him. One is that one his death bed he accepted baptism and Died in the Grace of God. The other is that he rejected it because he asked about the comrades of his time and when he learned there was no way for them to join him he refused to accept the Baptism. He claimed he'd everything else, he wouldn't lose the opportunity to see his comrades on the other side. Wherever that may be. That bit may have actually come from a semi-historical event in the Dark Age Netherlands. There was a powerful Frisian (part of the Netherlands) chieftain who was being convinced to become Christian. According to the records he was literally one foot away from being baptized when he asked about his ancestors. He was told that they're burning in hell with no chance of reprieve. He promptly kicked the monk/bishop out of Frisia. His claim was that he'd rather sit in hell with his ancestors than in heaven with his enemies the Franks. He made a ferocious fight of keeping his people's independence and pagan ways and even managed to defeat Charles Martel, (Charles the Hammer) in one battle but was eventually over run. Sorry...I find this stuff fun. Anyway my answer is "Sorry sweet-heart but I like my friends and family. You can stand to stay away for my life-time right? It'd only be a few minutes for you at the most right?"
From New Mexico in the US and growing up in a Mexican family. I am so glad I broke away from my culture to experience such diverse music. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience
As a women from California, USA, a tour guide played us Scottish music for 2 hours on our tour through Scotland and it was some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard.
They look like Angel's, I love these girls music. Haven't heard a bad one but this is my favourite. Can't wait to go home to Ireland and ride around the whole thing and see the beauty.
This song has an aesthetic meaning.Beautiful text and sound.And the meaning itself is just beautiful.I saw the translation of this song and fell in love with the lyrics.
I feel proud to be of Celtic descent. Unfortunately, my family has been rooted in the Christian faith over the years, but I have always been closer to my ancestors and I returned to our original beliefs even though my family was not happy about it. I don't understand how we could let ourselves be so weeded out of our origin.
This is Irish tho nothing to do with Scotland and wales. Infairness tho 90% of Celtic culture in scotland comes from Ireland the gods, goddesses they worshipped. Halloween is Irish before it is anything else because it's gaelic and originated in Ireland. Including Scottish Gaelic which comes from Irish. All of Ireland is Gaelic but not every Scot is Gaelic. Some scots hate anything to do with Gaelic culture. It used to be called erse meaning Irish. The funny thing is Scotland means land of the Irish. Ireland was Scotia and then became Scotia major and when the Irish went to Scotland. Scotland became Scotia minor. 70% of Europes megalithic art is from Ireland, the small amounts in England, wales and Scotland are all were the Irish were. The Irish celts were definitely the dominant Celts and the other countries live of the back of Irish Celtic culture that had nothing to do with them.
When you're neither Scottish, Celtic, Gaelic, or Irish and yet their music is the only thing that calls to you, it really feels like magic.
You dont need to have a gaelic ancestry to enjoy good upbeat music :)
Hey, I'm Pakistani and i'm in love with this sort of folk music ! ( came here after listerning to Malread's live rendition of" Hills of Ireland " )
I think Music has no boundaries, only tastes. e.g : we have taste for this sort of music, which brings us together on this platform !
btw, i LOVE the way the Scots speak English ! its adorable !
It IS the magic that calls to the blood......Wherever you are.
I have Welsh, Irish and Spanish ancestors. Am not entirely Celt and still enjoy this music ! We're all people of the world and music speak to our soul whatever our origins are :D
Well I'm told europe is for everyone so I guess it doesnt matter.
Okay background to tir na nóg because some people aren’t Irish and don’t know the folklore
There was once an Irish prince named Oisin, he knew of the legend of tir na nóg where you would never age and there was a beautiful princess called Niamh but that’s just a legend right?
Oisin was out hunting with a few nobles and then one of them accidentally shot him in the back with a bow. The nobles discussed what to do and decided to leave him for dead.
Oisin had lost all hope and had accepted he was going to die, he then heard the sounds of hooves, he opened his eyes and there was a beautiful woman, more beautiful than you could ever imagine, she hoisted him onto her horse ( without getting off btw) Oisin awoke in a palace in the middle of the forest which he later learned was called tir na nóg. The woman who had saved him was princess Niamh. Over a few months Niamh and Oisin drew closer and got married. After what seemed like a few years Oisin wanted to say goodbye to his father, he asked Niamh if he could borrow her horse her being the perfect wife she agreed, but gave him a warning not to get off it under any circumstances. Oisin made his way to his fathers castle, upon arrival all he could find were ruins of a castle. Oisin made his way back to tir na nóg but on his way back was an elderly man who’s leg was caught under a heavy stone Oisin, who had forgotten about Niamhs warning got off the horse to help the old man, he lifted the bolder with ease, although a few seconds later Oisin had turned into an old man, older than the man he had helped ( who was pretty old) before a minute had passed since he got off the horse Oisin had died of old age. Legend has it that Niamh is still waiting in tir na nóg for Oisin to return.
( if you want to hear any more Irish folklore like this just ask me I will be happy to tell them)
I would love to know of any and all Irish myths you would like to share
Okay so this is the myth behind the giants causeway in Belfast
There was once a giant called Finn Mac Cool and his wife oonagh.
Finn was the biggest and strongest giant in all of Ireland, said to be 54 feet tall and have the strength of 500 men.
One day as he was standing outside his house he heard insults from the direction of Scotland, he hurled some nasty insults back and the other giant in Scotland ( benandonner) began hurling huge boulders at Finn to try to make a bridge so they could fight ( those are the rocks that make up the giants causeway) one of them missed and became the Isle of Man.
Benandonner ( who was at least twice his size)started to make his way across, making the causeway longer and longer
Finn was terrified, he ran to his wife oonagh and asked her to hide him, oonagh found an old cot and some blankets, Finn got in the cot and pretended to be a baby.
Benandonner burst into the house and demanded to see Finn Mac Cool
Oonagh said calmly that he was out but invited him to stay and wait
Benandonner saw the “baby” and asked if Finn was the father ( it’s a 54 foot baby btw) oonagh said of course
Benandonner was terrified because if his small baby was 54 foot tall, how tall would the father be
He ran back to Scotland destroying the causeway as he went so that Finn couldn’t follow him home
I have plenty more where that came from
Just ask and you shall receive
You should have a place where you post these Bc I rly love reading them. Like an app Instagram, amino rly anything Bc I love reading these
@@thatone6756 it’s called Ireland
Go to national school there and you get told these things
AWWWW THAT IS SO SAD ;0;
遠い国、日本で聴いています。言葉は分からないけれど、雰囲気だけでも心が満たされます。
その歌声、表情、曲、癒されます。
you get this perfectly, i know english but i don’t know celtic, but i feel this song in my bones
同じく。 Same as you.
No one really understands the chorus anyway, other than Oonagh who wrote it, since it's in Elvish.
No matter the line up of Celtic Woman, every one of them has a beautiful voice. It would be very hard if not impossible to name the very best line up.
I'd love them to another castle special, with every woman who ever appeared doing a few songs
❤🤗🌺👍👍👍
Mairead's fiddle had a best voice
ORIGINAL CELTIC WOMEN. THE END.
@latter-daysaint Will the church excommunicate Lori Vallow, and Ruby Franke for child abuse?
As an Irish person, it makes my heart swell with joy to see music like this so well received by such a wide and varied audience. Truly a beautiful piece, and I'm glad others feel the same!
As a person with Irish heritage, my heart swells listening because I feel so much closer to my ancestors. I feel so much pride!
This song want's to make me learn Irish. Challenge accepted.
Cultural appreciation.
It is nice to know. That after all that happened to our people. We are still all here.
The Blackcelt Or you could do something to change your nation, like the Irish or British have done throughout history
My grandmother would tell me this story before going to bed. It was honestly one of my favorite stories as a kid. Now I'm telling it to my daughter.
That is very precious
My personal favourite was the children of lir
That's beautiful!
That's good
My biological grandfather was the closest link I had to my irish heritage. But he died when my grandma was 7 months pregnant with my mom. So I'm closer to my blackfoot heritage, due to my mom's step dad being half blackfoot (though HIS father left the tribe, as the council wouldn't admit a white woman, my great grandmother).
That's how I imagined celtic music when I was a kid... a lot of people dancing in the forest with green clothes, fairytales, fireflies and goblins around a fire. Nice video!
Exactly the same
Andressa C. Same! All I dream about at night! Girls in flowing dresses dancing in a forest!
Come to Ireland during the festivals, you won't know the difference, it's lovely.
Define "during the festivals" please. Aren't there more than one?
yes same here ,except in m6 imagination roman empire came took their lands raped their woman and plundered their village. i was a weird kid.
I had no idea this song existed, even though my mom loves Celtic Woman. my mom named me Tierney after Tir na nÓg, and she got it from a celtic baby name book. This song is unbelievably beautiful, and she’ll be so excited to hear it.
My name is also Tierney!
Me too !!!!!
Это так мило))
Зато теперь вы знаете, что вы названы в честь такого волшебного места ❤
Oh man my fiancé’s last name is Tierney and used to be O’Tierney before they came to the US.
And mine is Paden from O’Padden.
So funny what a small world 😂😂😂
@@BigAlexgator it’s crazy how small it is! Speaking of that, love your profile pic🤣
So soooo glad that there are still songs coming out from Celtic Woman. No matter who is singing or what song they sing, it's always so perfect and enchanting in every way
It sure is.
+piplupcola I see all these criticisms that they're singing a bunch of not Irish music and I feel a little like trash for liking corny songs that I wouldn't ordinarily like, but I still love (most of) them!

I am an author who has a written a book on Celtic Mythology and I feel damn proud that I understand every reference in this song. Love this song!
How cool what’s the name of your book?
So... Whats your book?
I guess we’ll never know the name of the book

Their voices are so stunning. This song gives me chills.
This is one of catchiest songs produced by Celtic Woman and one of my favorite :)
Johnny Rockenstire isle of hope, isle of tears is mine. My family came over in the 1890’s and that song brings me to the verge of tears every time thinking about the fear of leaving home. As an American, if I left my home for another, it is my choice, I cannot fathom being forced to leave because your home has become an “isle of hunger, isle of pain” as the song says.
I love how you can feel the magic in all the Celtic Women songs. Its so mystical and wonderful and you can't help but be enchanted!💖
i swear the violinist looks like she hasn't aged a day in years!
i adore this music
it always speaks so deeply to me and always lifts my mood and takes me to a world dull of life, ancient magic, and a world full of mystery both good and bad. of love and hardships, of trial and reward. i'll always adore Celtic women now and forever!
Lyrics, if anyone is as clueless as I was :

Far away from the land you knew
The dawn of day reaches out to you
Though it feels like a fairy tale
All of this is true
Run with me, have a look around
We built our life over sacred ground
Come my love, our world's may part
We'll be safe and sound

Long ago, people in Ireland believed that there was a beautiful land in the western sea called Tír na nÓg - The land of the young. It was a place where the trees were always green, the flowers were always in bloom and men and women never grew old. This is the story of how Oisín, the son of Fionn MacCumhail leader of the Fianna, came to go to Tír na n-óg.
One morning the Fianna were hunting deer on the shores of Lough Leane in County Kerry. As they rested on a hilltop, a beautiful girl came riding towards them on a snow white horse. She was dressed like a princess and her long golden hair hung to her waist.
As she drew near, Fionn called out “What is your name and what land have you come from?” - “I am Niamh of the Golden Hair and my father is King of Tír na nÓg. I have heard of a great warrior named Oisín. I have to come to find him and ask him to return with me to the Land of the Young.”
Fionn was sad, for he feared that if Oisín went with Niamh, he would never see him again. But it was too late, Oisín was already in love with the princess. He accepted Niamh’s invitation and waving goodbye to Fionn and his friends, he jumped onto the horse behind Niamh. Away they galloped into the morning mist.
Over the land and the sea the fairy horse ran, moving as swiftly as a shadow. At last they reached the golden shores of Tír na nÓg. The king and queen welcomed Oisín and held a great feast in his honour. It was a magical land. Oisín hunted and feasted and at night he told stories of Fionn and the Fianna and of their lives in Ireland. Oisín had never felt as happy as he did with Niamh and before long they were married.
Oisín lived in Tír na nÓg for three hundred years, but being so happy, it only seemed like three. Then a great longing came on him to go back to Ireland. Niamh did not want him to go but at last she agreed and gave him the white horse. Niamh warned him “set foot, even once, on the soil of Ireland and you will never return to Tír na nÓg.”
When Oisín reached Ireland he found that everything had changed. There was no trace of his father or the fianna. As he passed through Gleann na Smol, the valley of the thrushes, he saw a group of men trying to move a large stone. “I will help you” he said. The mighty Oisín stooped down in his saddle, and with one hand, lifted the stone. But as he did so, the saddle strap broke and he tumble to the ground. Immediately the fairy horse galloped away and a great change came over Oisín. In the blink of an eye the great hero of the Fianna became a withered old man.
Unsure of what to do, legend has it that the men brought Oisín to Saint Patrick. Saint Patrick tried to comfort Oisín in his old age. When Oisín learned that the Fianna and his father were long since dead, his heart was filled with sadness. Oisín spoke of the old days of the fianna and the many great deeds of Fionn, when they hunted and feasted and listened to great stories. He spoke of his time in Tír na nÓg and his beautiful wife Niamh. Although Oisín died soon after, the wonderful stories of Niamh and Oisín have lived on.
So the fair folk? Nice folk tale. Better than any comments. Still it MAY have a grain of truth. I can tell you many such tales. Tho banned. History dies hard my friend.
This is one of my favourite stories
Honestly, this is my favorite variation so far. Others had oisin injured when niamh found him. Some had her merely kidnap him in his sleep.
That said, I've read a few theories trying to connect various myths. For instance, one tried connecting Tir Na nÓg to atlantis and el dorado. The same land, but different myths across different cultures, based on what was preferred or desired by that culture.
I am amazed .am Downes
nah bro we were fighting England,Starving or fighting the English again lmao
oh yea and also fighting dragons ir smt :)
I was lucky enough to meet these amazing women a few years ago. My wife Daughter and I worked security for concerts as a weekend gig. It was a fun job before COVID hit. These women were some of the best people we ever had a chance to work with. Polite and friendly. They were amazing to see live and great fun to meet. Most performers we meet were not like that LOL.
Noice 👌
Friendly artists are probably about as rare as a Unicorn in your line of work! LOL.
@did you ever LOL!
Couldn't help it but, commas dude. Your wife daughter?

Just love this type of music.You should do more music with this rhythm. I live the more melancholic ones too, but Celts knew how to party in their times. It's impossible too hear it and don't want to dance.
+Rita .Sassatelli (Principessa) That's exactly what i thought too, except from the dance part.
Yes. Yes we do.

この曲、めちゃくちゃ好き！
何度でも聞いてしまう素敵なハーモニーで、改めて、言葉は違っても、音楽は世界で共通だと思わせてくれる曲でした。
Is there anyone else who finds Eabha's (the third soloist) voice absolutely enchanting?. I think her voice is a much needed addition to Celtic Woman and I hope they make the most of her time within the group because she is brilliant.
Her voice is pure magic! "Walk beside me" is so beautiful.
+Mathias-Tobias Bradley A throwback to Orla's type of voice from way back when! Gorgeous, I agree
+Mathias-Tobias Bradley Eabha is the first true alto Celtic Woman has had since Orla left..I too think it was a much needed addition...
certainly miss her in anuna where her voice was fuller
Yeah. I didn't think any woman could go lower than Orla. Eabha corrected that thought
I've been listening to Celtic Women ever since I was a kid, I would watch their concerts on PBS and although I miss the original singers, I'm happy they are making music still. Hopefully one day all the original girls will get together for a concert.
That would me amazing!!
I have seen celtic women in concert they are awesome
They used to come to my local stadium and I never went. I highly regret that 😭
I agree. The originals are the best.
Me too. Seeing them at Red Rocks has been on my bucket list for 20 years. I cant wait for the concert this Sunday😊
This is the kind of song that you could listen to for 2 hours and still want to hear it again
Nah... this is the kind of song that you could listen to for an eternity and it would still sound just as beautiful as before. =)
Totally agree
This is beauty this is grace. (Here you go Ella Frella) (this whole beauty/grace thing was started by one of my lovelies)
i have had this playing on repeat now for days, currently at over 1300 repeats and counting.
Rogoth01 The Master Wizard seriously! Me too!
I’ve loved your music since I was little. It really is magical and has so many memories attached to it!

Check out the comments. Guys REALLY love them !
Me too
I’m from an old Irish-Welsh family. The Faeries are apart of our history. This song made me cry, it rang deep in my heart. My grandma told me old Irish Faerie Stories and I grew up on Arthurian Lore. This hit deep.
@James Conway I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, I know more about faeries than my grandmother did. I have spent 20 years studying them. I’m well aware that in Ireland, even today, they are very much believed in and feared. She told me of those things in a simple, brief way, but I know better, now ...
My ancestors were forced from there home.
@@seanhartnett79 I’m sorry
@@JGordonAuthor thanks.

we all miss Chloe and Lisa and all the girls, but come on... these girls are amazing and everything changes... I'm so happy for these incredible girls. it's a honour to be able to hear them singing, let's stop complaining about why they changed, and ejoy and be filled with all the power that these new songs can bring us...... and I need a conversation partner u.u , still Learning English... one day I wanna travel to the marvelous Ireland and listen to these girls. I love u
As a Scottish woman, I love the way the Celtic Woman music flows
My routes are Scottish and Norwegian ♡
The woman at 2:15 has such a beautiful and unique voice! It sounds much more grounded than the other, more floating voices, but that makes such a nice contrast...
I'm babbling again... I'll stop
paul loerres she has a darker, richer tone. Like a mezzo soprano.
It's true. She has a radically different voice from the others.
She's alto.
Does anyone know her name?
Her name is Éabha McMahon
After hearing this song and watching them dance, I am certain that the members of Celtic Woman are not human. They are beautiful nature fae!
I can see how
Who the f told you that forgot that info and you'll be paid well
I have been watching Celtic woman for 10 years now and still blow me away.
もう7年も前になるのか…
久々に聞きたくなってきました。
本当に素敵な曲、綺麗な歌声。
いつまでも大好きです😊
My people are originally from Sweden and Norway, but the music of the Irish has always haunted my soul. Celtic Woman is hands down the most beautiful and haunting music I have ever heard.
All of them really do look like goddesses!

Боги, это такая шикарная музыка! Просто волшебная! Вы чудесны!
Gods, this is such amazing music! Simply magical! You are wonderful!
I've always really loved Celtic mythology and Norse mythology and any kind of mythology. I couldn't really see a well paying career out of it so I chose my back up career, Culinary. But music like this and movies that portray my love for mythology always have me second guessing. I hope I can make time for my hobby in the time of being a chef.
Why not study anthropology?
fair play to you. Good luck.
They are renewing the tradition, And the music. It's beautiful, And not only do they know the theme, They also find ways to improve it; I highly doubt you even understand what the song's about. That hint of pop, which is really not affecting the music too much, Fits right in.
...What a mature, respective comment.

I can't stop listening this song! It's wonderful! The chorus is so addictive!

One of the most hypnotic songs I've ever heard simply beautiful I could feel the meaning in my heart, voices are amazing.

Jenica Xaviera agree and hi
No honestly you are not.
Jenica Xaviera it’s one of the reasons I love this so much!
Jenica Xaviera you ain’t alone
Listening to these women sing is a joyous experience, which they share with the world. May goodness and light follow them for all of their days.
I'm from Suriname(South -America) and since I was a little girl hearing celtic music on the radio I fallen in love with it. So enchanted,passionate 😍🧚♀️🧝♀️
I am english born, but my heart has always lain with the Scots, Irish and Welsh.I have never been loyal to england and never worn the dreaded union jack.
To Scotland my heart has always been true and always will be, this is the best kind of music and cannot be beaten.
The Celtic Women are beautiful, but there’s just something about Oonagh. She’s so full of joyous life and every move she makes is enchanting somehow. Her voice is incredible too. I love her!
Which one is that?

THANK YOU. Scrolled for some time looking for the translation.
is "Nave" the name of the person? Why did they steal tea?
Only one line of this is Irish, (tir na nog). the rest is a bit of a mix between Quenya and Sindarin from the world of Middle-Earth
To be honest i don't know at all
That is true and that took me a while to translate
Sean Robus thank you for this. I’ve been trying to learn Irish Gaelic on a college student’s budget, and this helps immensely.
I lived in Ireland for 8 months. Irish people are the best in the world. So friendly. God bless Ireland.
I lived for 4 years and yes I have to agree completely, and the landscapes are just so beautiful!
I've lived here all my life and I didnt know true beauty until I went stargazing on Fair Head on the north coast
@@therat4890 I would love to live in Ireland and I love stargazing too. Is it possible to see the heart of the Milky Way in the north coast of Ireland ?
@@GB-ek2em it sure feels like it,, it's so dark up there in winter, and theres so little light pollution, you can see so much more than you ever could in the city or towns
@@therat4890 Thanks for your answer. But I wasn't talking about light pollution, but about the problem of latitude. Indeed, north coast of Ireland is 55°N, and at this latitude, it may be the limit to see MW's heart. I'm at 48° north latitude, and in the middle of summer, the heart of the MW is never high above the horizon. Hence my question.
And so they lived happily together for 300 years in the land of Tira nog , land of eternal youth and beauty
I’ve recently fallen in love with Celtic music! It’s so catchy and hooky.
Same here
Hooky?
Wait until you hear other Celtic stuff other than Irish. It's all amazing.
@@Tuatha_De_Gaming I love it
Want an explanation?
Tír na nÓg means "Land of Youth" or is another name for the Otherworld.
Tír na nÓg is best known from the tale of Oisín and Niamh. In the tale, Oisín (a human hero) and Niamh (a woman of the Otherworld) fall in love. She brings him to Tír na nÓg on a magical horse that can travel over water. After spending what seems to be three years there, Oisín becomes homesick and wants to return to Ireland. Niamh reluctantly lets him return on the magical horse, but warns him never to touch the ground. When he returns, he finds that 300 years have passed in Ireland. Oisín falls from the horse. He instantly becomes elderly, as the years catch up with him, and he quickly dies of old age.
But the song is mostly about their love, told from Niamh's perspective. And the song sounded a whole lot sweeter before I explained it...
Thank you!
Carlie Whittaker Dumbass like we didn't know.
I didn't before I read the explanation. I found it really helpful.
Gosh, that makes it so much cooler!!
I always thought Tir na N'og was the home of the Seelie and Unseelie Courts.
I love this so much, my grandma is 100% Irish and I'm 5th or 6th gen American on my mom's mom's side. Irish/Celtic music is so soothing to me and it actually helps me focus.
Oddly enough I'd have to agree with that. My family were once Highland Scot's but for some reason whenever I hear an Irish tune (especially like this) I have to know where it is and where it's coming from 😂
Until my son told me about this group I had never heard of them. Beautiful music and I will definitely be listening to more of their music!
They are outstanding in concert.
Can't stop listening to this song. Hope to hear songs like this sung in Irish in Eurovision.
12 points from Serbia
I must have seen this video a hundred times - I keep coming back to be enchanted by these lovelies...
Wow, just, wow. I had this song on repeat for almost 2 hours. 2:13 I LOVE your voice. I was not expecting it to be as deep as it is. Again, LOVE THE SONG!. Very relaxing. I listened to this while I drew my map a my own fantasy elvish land.
Ironically, that's how Tolkien described Galadriel's voice. 😄
She's a vocal coach on the west coast
Finally i have found the most favourite genre of music! Celtic music is the best way to relax and for just a moment forget all problems :))
I know right!
My great great grandfather journeyed from Dublin Ireland to America for search of a better life and the first time I heard this song all I could think is the way his eyes lit up when he began his life here leading me to this point. Thank you grandpa Taylor for setting us up in this world of possibilities. Its a shame you passed away a year before I was born. I've heard you were an amazing man. I honor our heritage!!
Beautiful words
Hi Just a Black American woman sliding in to the comments to say I’ve been a fan of the original Celtic Woman and my younger sister loves them too. I listen to them sing “O come all ye faithful “ every Christmas 🎄 since I was 18. I’m 29.
It’s something so hypnotic about the violin and the flute mixed with the great vocals ✨✨🙌🏾 it’s amazing. I don’t know if I carry some Irish ☘️ blood but it sure feels like it’s possible when I listen to this 😂
I always wanted to visit Ireland 🤷🏾♀️ don’t know maybe to see the Emerald Isle with all that green landscape or maybe to walk down those romantic cobbled streets to grab a pint 🍺 lol but it’s been a dream of mine. Stereotypes aside. I grew up in LA that’s California. And it’s crazy dangerous and glamorous at the same time. But I thought I’d point out that beauty can be felt through more than touch, we can appreciate this music 🎼 and enjoy it almost as much as a Irish ginger lol
Honestly it’s magical and we know magic when we hear it. No racism or patriotism can take that away.
Music has no colour, no race, no age, no gender, just feelings ❤🌼
I, also a black American woman, love their music. I honestly thought I was alone. One of my dreams is to be in this group.
Same i love this music! 💖😁
We all are the same!
Borders are not a natural thing,
We are all one in nature.

I love Oonagh, she always seems like she’s having fun!
She is such a talent ❤️
@@wystxrr she is!!❤️❤️ she reminds me of me how I always love to sing and dance around like her!❤️❤️❤️
I agree
@@ultimatebishoujo29 ❤️❤️
She is phenomenal I totally agree.
I am now fully convinced that Lydia has access to my playlist. Because I have been playing this non-stop for the past two weeks.
Beautiful job Lydia! Love you.
Oh my gosh, my heart is beating with love. I am a nature photographer and this proof that mother nature has beautiful daughters
The video was shot in Dublin
I'm germanic, but this feels like a song of a distant cousin, one who shares my values and wants to show me their world, just as I have for them.
The Celtic and Germanic peoples were family, plain and simple, and I am proud to enjoy the music that speaks to my Celtic brothers.
Thanks ilovethis too
Certainly one of my favorite songs. I listen to it on repeat. How fun it would be to sing with Celtic Woman one day. Absolutely beautiful song, well done to everyone involved.
I'm an Australian, of predominantly English descent. But I learned about the faery mythology and Tir na N'og 50 years ago, and am spellbound by this song. For those who are unfamiliar with the tale, look up Ossian.
As a person with primarily Scottish, Irish, British and Norse ancestry this music literally makes me feel so much at home.
same except im primarily irish, nordic and prussian ancestry
Same except for I have German and Dutch ancestry as well
and what a beautiful, effervescent heritage it is! Embody it, celebrate it: this dark world needs more light and beauty.
Irish, Catalan and Norse for me

Music is the language that speaks to every generation.
This is what medieval fantasy and magic is for me! Celtic culture!
Love Ireland, Scotland and All other Celts from Poland!
Beautiful
@@ritaousby5007 it is indeed (;
I'm American but my dad's ancestors are Irish and mom's are Polish.
Irish and Polish people are like kindred spirits
Positively enchanting.....the voices, the lyrics, the vibe, the lyrical tunes of the instruments...the sure purity
This is the most beautiful-sounding nonsense that's ever graced my ears and confused my brain. Subscribed.
i can't stop laughing at this omg
The song is a traditional Irish Gaelic tune. Tir na Nog is the legendary land of Youth and Beauty. There are thousands of references to it in Irish mythology.
Any idea where I can learn more about Irish Mythology?
Just look up Celtic Mythology on the web and visit your local library.....if you can find a Celtic Festival near you, that will have tons of reference material and subject matter experts available.
This is basic celt mythology the land of youth (tir na nog) because it was made by freya i bealive and it represented the youth and prosperity of young people and i think lovers as well if i am correct correct me if you know better pls
I dont know how I ended up on this video but I regret NOTHING this is an absolute gem
yes i love it
Im a Norse and Celtic Pagan with Germanic and Irish ancestry in my bloodline, and this kinda music always calls to me and makes me feel so alive and free. My grandmother was the one who got me into Celtic Women, best thing I've ever watched
Basically ur white, wow - congrats
@@isabelacastillo8116 so? they're proud of their ancestry, let them be
@@isabelacastillo8116 Yes and im proud to be. We are only 8 % of worlds population and we have a rich and beatiful culture throughout europe. We should preserve it. What are you Spanish ?(assuming by your name) Your ancestors were Celtics.
Pegan brethren
@@Leodachef1 it’s giving white supremacy
Beautiful song! I love Celtic Woman and Oonagh. I would love to see someday a song featuring Patty Gurdy and Aline Happ too!
Yes - Patty Gurdy and Oonagh would be a great combo as they're both from Germany and both do Celtic based work. Though Oonagh's ethnicity is Italian/Bulgar so her real name is neither Celtic nor German - surname Italian, other names Bulgarian
I'm not a Celt, but I fell in love with Celtic Woman and their songs😍😍😍😍 So much beautiful😍😍😍😍 Awesome Irish legends and mythology😍😍😍😍
irish music is so magical. it doesn't matter where you're from, every time you listen to irish music, you feel like you've entered a fairy tale.
Totaly agree 💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏☮☮☮
Irish dancing is so underrated too
my favorite song ever! and it was a complete accident i discovered it! which then led me to other types of songs like it! its my favorite type of music now!!!
Ok, so as an old "codger" I'm in love with every one of these incredible beauties and their talent in the genre of music is just unmatched by most of their contemporaries. Celtic Women have been around now for several decades and this organization continues to find amazing and wonderful talent to carry on this legacy! I'm not Irish or Scottish or even British but the music they present to us is simply European history and it still resonates with millions around the world because it's "pure" and "real" and "ancient!" There are others who bring us the "roots" of Celtic music like Enya and Loreena McKennitt but this group of amazing performers has taken this "almost forgotten" musical form to a different level. This isn't "River Dance", this is the REAL history of the original Celtic sound and songs. Thanks to all of you who continue to share and present this "musical history" for us all! Don't ever stop! This world needs you now more than ever!
oldcel Lol
Over for you
These beauties have been passed around their whole lives and suddenly became Celtic princesses for 3 minutes and melted your brain into a romantic soup. How on earth did you make it to an old age with such naivety ?
@@maalikserebryakov Don't really care what you think of my "melted brain"! And I'm anything but naïve. Love the music and love the songs. Why are you so bitter and negative?
I'm Welsh and a folk violin player and welsh speaker, but I'm so proud of my Celtic cousins
I am not even close a Celtic,but your songs are my blood engine. Love you. This song and Galway are my favorites.
Oh you never know you might just be more like them then you think
I created an imaginary world when I see this video - green forests with friendly and beautiful people... Now, imagine my surprise when I went to Ireland. My imaginary world exists! I've never met such FRIENDLY people. What a BEAUTIFUL country! TA Ireland!
This will be my 6th visit this year tentatively. :)
I just love this kind of music, has a special sound that it's magical.
Greetings from Spain❤️💛❤️
They never disappoint, fantastic music and great show.
I've been listening to my old CD's of the Celtic Woman for the last few years so I've missed the transitions between groups. This group of angels reminds me of the original singing foursome. I'm not forgetting the nymph of the violin Máiréad Nesbitt and her ability to hit every cord as she skips and floats over the stage, in high heels - no less. Truly, there is some magic there, beyond the music. Her line of Celtic Violins, especially the "Celtic Dawn", is modeled after her favored instrument.
But who are the Sirens who are luring us with their enchanting music and singing voices?
• What is the name the goddess in green - 'Oonagh' aka Senta-Sofia Delliponti
• or the songbird in Silver - Máiréad Carlin
• the blond nightingale in the blue dress - Susan McFadden,
• and the minstrel in peach - Éabha McMahon
(or at least those are my monitors' colors)
Whats sad is... in the “Titanic” movie, a woman told the story of The Tir Na Nog Island to her children in their last breaths from drowning.....because in “Tir na nog” you have the ability to breath underwater and never grow old.. i cried on it 😭 One of the most hearbreaking scenes In titanic...😢
Edit: Oh wow, thanks for the likes guys :) O.O
Edit 2: Jesus! 195! Omg you guys are awesome, we’re almost at 200! :O
Edit 3: Oml why is there so many edits lol, but.....THANK YOU FOR 242 LIKES!
Edit For The Story: Just so you guys know....I did some research and it actually happened in the real life Titanic 😫😭
Edit 1,000,000: Ok I swear, this is my last edit lol. Thank you so much for sharing thoughts.
-Much love, Flix
I wish it had been this song, as it would’ve surely blown the minds of those children before the icy waters claimed them, except I’m sure this song was written too recently to have been used back then. I do recall that (in the movie) the mother was telling her two children a story about Tir Na Nog, though. While it may seem less enticing than a song about the place, it still would’ve left its mark upon their minds as they were falling asleep to the story. No doubt they “woke up on the other side”, where they would indeed be forever young & beautiful. So sad, especially since (in reality) there would’ve been children even younger from that event, taken in far worse ways than those two. It’s enough to break your heart... ✨💔✨
Ariana Hale It hit my heart when I saw that scene, it’s really the most heartbreaking scene in Titinic, the mom doesn’t wanna tell them they’re about drown so she sings a song where you have the ability to breath underwater, and never grow old-and always be beautiful. I can’t believe what happen to them when the actually titanic happen...😢
That is a tragic story and all- however, it was a mistake in the movies part. The other language in this song was from the elven language in Lord of the Rings, which was written *after* the titanic sank.
not this this song its not old enough
unicorn sprinkles The song is new, but the story is very old, they said the story was passed down before the 1700-1600!
I have 4 daughters who reflect this video! I have been truly blessed to have daughters who are Celtic!
I love these women. My Celtic ancestors are smiling.
mine as well. :)
My grand mother was celtic. I feel the joy of this music since i was very young, never knew why. Until i became to search my family roots. Thanks...
These Celtic woman send shivers up my spine,highly talented and beautiful,I suppose since all of my known ancesters are either Scottish or Irish my genetic roots must have kicked in.
Im Indigenous American and i fell in love today with this music
Celtic and Indigenous cultures are very similar and both beautiful 💙💙
Very similar
Us Irish love our Indigenous family in America! We've helped each other during times of crisis.
I'm a mixture of Celt, Viking, Spaniard, and Cherokee and out of the four varieties of music I listen to is Celtic, Norseman, and Cherokee music the most, and that's my heritage, and they always soothe my weary soul, and help heal my warriors heart
"Considering what happened to the last guy who did I'd rather not."
Some version of the Tir Na Nog story was that the thing the mortal who went to Tir Na Nog couldn't do was get off the horse he rode to get back to the land of Mortals. When he came back was supposedly when St. Patrick was magic Ireland Christian and he came across a couple of men carrying stones to build a church. They dropped it and he reached out to grab the stone. The stirrup of his saddle snapped and he fell of and promptly aged like no one's business (all 300 years he was gone (3 years in Tir Na Nog) catching up to him all at once.)
What makes the version I read sad was that he actually managed to go back to Tir Na Nog but his lady, took one look at him and violently rejected the poor guy in disgust and he was kicked out to live the remainder of his life a shriveled old prune.
He was attended to by St. Patrick until he passed away. Now there are two versions of what happened to him. One is that one his death bed he accepted baptism and Died in the Grace of God.
The other is that he rejected it because he asked about the comrades of his time and when he learned there was no way for them to join him he refused to accept the Baptism. He claimed he'd everything else, he wouldn't lose the opportunity to see his comrades on the other side. Wherever that may be.
That bit may have actually come from a semi-historical event in the Dark Age Netherlands. There was a powerful Frisian (part of the Netherlands) chieftain who was being convinced to become Christian. According to the records he was literally one foot away from being baptized when he asked about his ancestors. He was told that they're burning in hell with no chance of reprieve. He promptly kicked the monk/bishop out of Frisia. His claim was that he'd rather sit in hell with his ancestors than in heaven with his enemies the Franks. He made a ferocious fight of keeping his people's independence and pagan ways and even managed to defeat Charles Martel, (Charles the Hammer) in one battle but was eventually over run.
Sorry...I find this stuff fun.
Anyway my answer is "Sorry sweet-heart but I like my friends and family. You can stand to stay away for my life-time right? It'd only be a few minutes for you at the most right?"
Mirrissa Nicholson ,
You really need a better hobby.
Dam your everywhere
this story is older than the netherlands, the netherlands didnt exist when this story was first told.
History is full of rich stories and tales, it is my favorite activity to learn of stories like this so thanks for posting.
am I the only one that's in love with the violinist!! Irish pride
Garrett McClendon she's fantastic!
She's beautiful beyond words, but the most attractive thing about her is the passion she has for music
Nope ;)
mairead nesbitt! that girl can dance. Nothing in the world as graceful as she is...
Quite certain you are not...…..
From New Mexico in the US and growing up in a Mexican family. I am so glad I broke away from my culture to experience such diverse music. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience
We love Mexicans in Ireland 🥰
Mexican culture is beautiful
As a women from California, USA, a tour guide played us Scottish music for 2 hours on our tour through Scotland and it was some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard.
They look like Angel's, I love these girls music. Haven't heard a bad one but this is my favourite. Can't wait to go home to Ireland and ride around the whole thing and see the beauty.
Every one of these ladies is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.
This song has an aesthetic meaning.Beautiful text and sound.And the meaning itself is just beautiful.I saw the translation of this song and fell in love with the lyrics.
Celtic Woman need to represent Ireland in Eurovision, 12 points from everyone!
don't humiliate them like that
This song has so much esc vibe. Not sure if thats a good thing
Fun fact: ireland has most eurovision victories
Yes, they do.
@@Genevasplaytime I'm proud to be Irish 😌
SNL “shatta rarta laa la la ne, la Anna Ya Neyma” - nogged me here in 2021!
I love this song. 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ It makes me want to travel to Ireland. And these ladies are so Beautiful.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I feel proud to be of Celtic descent. Unfortunately, my family has been rooted in the Christian faith over the years, but I have always been closer to my ancestors and I returned to our original beliefs even though my family was not happy about it. I don't understand how we could let ourselves be so weeded out of our origin.
I have Scottish, Irish and Celtic family roots. I've been listening to Celtic Woman for many years and just love their artistry.
Same. Their music is simply enchanting. My Grandfather was Irish, I love this part of my heritage.
This is Irish tho nothing to do with Scotland and wales. Infairness tho 90% of Celtic culture in scotland comes from Ireland the gods, goddesses they worshipped. Halloween is Irish before it is anything else because it's gaelic and originated in Ireland. Including Scottish Gaelic which comes from Irish. All of Ireland is Gaelic but not every Scot is Gaelic. Some scots hate anything to do with Gaelic culture. It used to be called erse meaning Irish. The funny thing is Scotland means land of the Irish.
Ireland was Scotia and then became Scotia major and when the Irish went to Scotland. Scotland became Scotia minor. 70% of Europes megalithic art is from Ireland, the small amounts in England, wales and Scotland are all were the Irish were. The Irish celts were definitely the dominant Celts and the other countries live of the back of Irish Celtic culture that had nothing to do with them.
