The lads do fun livestreams most weeks on their RUclips channel! Always good craic with music, history and shenanigans! Always nice to see folks appreciate these talented boys!
I went down a Gaeilge-language rabbit hole after becoming obsessed with Celtic Thunder many moons ago. A few of their songs were in Gaeilge and the language spoke to my heart, somehow. That led to other Gaeilge-language music, and, an attempt by me to learn the language. Forget about it, forget even trying to guess how to pronounce it -- the letters are often pronounced entirely differently, combinations of letters are pronounced entirely differently, and letters you'd never expect can be silent. I couldn't rearrange enough brain cells to even get close, but it was fun trying, and, of course, I discovered SO much Gaeilge music it was worth the trip. Nice reaction, glad you appreciated it. That. Guy's. Voice. Woah.
Iontach ar fad.ach rud amháin, nuair a bheith muid ag caint as Gaeilge thugamar Gaeilge don teanga. Ach as Béarla, tá sé Irish. That's wonderful, but one thing, when speaking in Irish we refer to the language as Gaeilge, but when speaking in English we call it Irish. Irish can be difficult for English speakers because the letters and mutations in the language completely change the pronounciation to what you'll be used to. Add in the fact that there are multiple dialects which have wildly different ways of pronouncing words and it could appear impenetrable. But it is a really beautiful language.
Dia dhuit as Éireann ☘️ Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪 . I love Seo Linn pronounced Shu Ling , ( It’s us ) this song is about Gráinne Mhaol pronounced ( Grawnya Wale ) or Grace O’Malley a female Irish pirate . Welcoming her home the French or the Spanish didn’t get her and now the summer comes
What a surprise after yesterdays Redgum video. I seen the Welsh flag behind you and assumed your family or part of was Welsh. Just like Mark Flynn, I was born in Ballymena Northern Ireland and live in Melbourne Australia. Mark is obviously one of us, and shall know exactly what I mean. Gaelic is very hard to learn and understand, however, there is a number of special schools in Ireland today and a lot of young Irish people are embracing the opportunity to become fluent in their own language. Many Australians are of Irish Ancestry for many reasons, however, very different to Canada, particularly the East Coast, where they speak with a distinct West Coast accent and even speak only Gaelic in a Village or two. The rest of Canada speak with a countrified Antrim accent due to the early immigration in the 1700/1750sec when 50,000 ( see on uTube) left. Yes, I know the Yanks call them Scots Irish. Yes Mark they were mostly one of those, but Irish never the less. Many of the same immigrants ended up in Quebec and Ontario, although some time later. Early Canadian politics was influenced by such Immigrants. The First Prime Minister, oh and you thought he was Scottish eh? The founder of Eaton Stores Mr Timothy Eaton was from Ballymena. My first job when in Canada was in Eatons no less. Many of the early Ontario Politicians and Toronto Council members, where from Ulster Ancestry. Alas Mark most one of them right up to the modern (1950 and beyond) day immigrant. You have the Irish Rovers Of course from Ballymena (Hello Will,George & Joe and RIP Jimmy from Belfast) The point that I want to make here is that they are all Irish, regardless of their persuasion. It’s important that we all embrace it and be proud of it. In the Ballymena surrounds of Antrim, we can and do speak with is referred to as the “Homely Accent” (spell correct won’t allow correct spelling) which is made up of three languages; Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic and English. It is unique to this part of Ireland and if you want to listen to it, you can do so on UTUBE. These people lived, worked and played with each other, without a problem and many still do so today. What started off as a simple hello has ended up a history lesson.
@@coletteoconnell2916 it’s doing ok we’ll see in a week or so. Most music channels I see don’t necessarily have the same type of music as mine. It’s usually more pop music I guess people just need to find me. 😆
@@CanadianReacts It was a traditional Irish song that was repurposed by Pádraig Pearse who rewrote the song, making it a national call to fight with references to figures from Ireland's past, such as Gráinne Mhaol, or Grace O'Malley, the pirate queen who fought Queen Elizabeth I. It was sung by members of the Irish Volunteers during the 1916 Easter Rising and was used by troops as a fast march song during the War of Independence. Óró is a cheer, and sé do bheatha bhaile means you are welcome home.

@@Kestrel_Edmonton I’ll be sure to try & schedule it in
Thanks for playing now the summer has come a translation. I’m originally from Belfast but now in Australia. I’ve been in a few places in between
Thanks Mark
There are many artists that have done this song, but this is my favorite version of it...thank you and greetings from Texas.
Greetings. I know Sinead O’Connor has done it as well
Pronounciation for the band is shuh linn. The song is: Oh-roh shay duh vah-ha wall-ya.
Thanks

@KeshHarp and Pathay
Seo Linn is pronounced ‘shu ling’ and means ‘here we go’.
Thanks Grabuaile
Thanks so much for doing this😁love it ❤️😊
It was beautiful
It’s not getting much traction. I guess the Original language is not appealing
@@CanadianReacts that is such a shame 😔
@@coletteoconnell2916 I agree

They’re drummer was my younger brothers drum teacher, they just fell off after a year after this
Incredible!!
Their original song Solas is great as well ;)
I keep forgetting to go on their RUclips Thursday too, 👍
How now sir, the pronunciation is oh roe, shay the vaha wall ya. Another suggestion is anúna - fionghuala
Oh boy!! Cheers
What does it mean?
@@CanadianReacts óró is a cheer. So it means oh, welcome home. Its a welcome home from battle for the lads👍

I’ve been looking to get back to Irish songs. Thanks
It’s been done by so many, including the Clancy Brothers. But here, I give you Sinead O’Connor:

Thanks Steph I’d actually never heard the song
Irish language is much older than the English one
I love the song
Bh is pronounced like a v, like Siobhan ;)
Thanks, I’ll need lots of practice!
