Lyrics:
Gabhaim molta Bríghde, iníon í le hÉireann
[gaw-im molta breejya, inyeen ee leh herrin]
I give praise to Brigid, daughter of Ireland
Iníon le gach tír í, molaimís go léir í.
[Inyeen leh gakh tcheer ee, molameesh guh lyair ee.]
Daughter of all lands, let us praise her.
Lóchrann geal na Laighneach, soils' ar feadh na tíre
[lo-khran gyal nuh ly-nyakh, syl-shar fah nuh tcheera]
The bright torch of Leinster, shining across the country
Ceann ar óigheacht Éireann, ceann na mban ar míne.
[kyawn air o-yakht errin, kyawn nuh man ar meenya.]
The leader of Ireland's youth, leader of gentle women.
Tig an Geimhreadh dian dubh, gearra lena géire
[Tcheeg unn gy-ruh jee-un doov, gyarra lena gyaira]
The house of Winter is dark, cutting with its sharpness
Ach ar lá le Bríghde, gar dúinn Earrach Éireann.
[akh air law leh breejya, gar dwinn errakh errin.]
But on Brigid's Day, Spring in Ireland draws near to us.
Gabhaim molta Bríghde, iníon í le hÉireann
[gaw-am molta breejya, inyeen ee leh herrin]
I give praise to Brigid, daughter of Ireland
Iníon le gach tír í, molaimís go léir í.
[Inyeen leh gakh tcheer ee, molameesh guh lyair ee.]
Daughter of all lands, let us praise her.
Picture it: You're a Monk in 764, the mainland is still suffering the effects of the great migration and the Collapse of the greatest empire the ancient world ever saw, but on your tiny little island, in a grey stone monastery you're tucked away from all of the troubles of the mainland Europeans, you spend each day praying and copying down the texts of the Ancient Romans and Greeks so that future generations may still have the knowledge that was endangered by the fall of Rome. You look out your window, at the grey clouds over the sea, life is Tranquil, you wonder what the world was like when Rome was around, and what it will be like, and go back to copying down the Iliad.
Gaelic is taught at The Gaelic College at St. Ann's on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia Canada. They are open in the summer and students come from all over the world to learn music, bagpipes, Gaelic etc.

The early Christian Church cleverly appropriated and co-opted the ancient pagan gods, goddesses and sacred sites, making saints of the deities, adding feast days atop the old festivals and building churches on and adjacent to the old stone circles and menhirs. In old Scottish Gaelic the words were the same for "Are you going to church?" and "Are you going to the stones?"
Trust me when I say the truth about history isn't what you've been taught. Remember this, it is (his story or history) the narratives tell lies (tell lie vision or television) the rulers (parasites or elites or kings and queens) have killed this language. We must find our roots or find who we really are. Such a beautiful song.
must be genetic memory but this music stirs something deep in me like no other music.. Just beautiful
Funny, as I a Dutchman with Scottish ancestors I love both the Gaelic language and this song. In the days of my ancestors in the 12th century they spoke Middle Irish in Scotland. I do speak modern Irish.
Very nice! ...Thanks Sporty!
The greatest music is the music that is not on the charts. Love.
Wow! Just wow!
Call me crazy. I’m Armenian, and Armenia is a mountainous highland much like ireland and scotland. Each time i hear this music, it takes my soul back home and it feels so familiar as if it’s being sung in my native tongue. Must be something about these mountains or the tunes of the music that strikes a cord in me of a landscape we share.
That is the most beautiful Irish-language song I have ever listened to. I absolutely love it! I'm always proud to be Irish!
I named my neo Celtic harp Brighid... what a beautiful song ❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful song for today, February 1st, the feast day of Saint Bríd
She is The Great Mother. And always bless us.😙💖💖💖👍☘☘☘🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Praises to St Bridjid one of patron saints of Ireland. Beautifull voice
Wonderful song! I'm deeply touched. Beautiful video. Love from Germany!
I am Irish, the people in the South of Ireland came as ancient farmers from the Mediterranean and Middle East 5000 BC and mixed with the native hunter gatherers tribes. Later came many other peoples, 1613 BC there was mass movement after a volcano in Santerini Greece and not to mention the Vicking qho came from Scandinavian. We are all one big family sister!
My name dictates my reason to download this fine piece. We are descended from the followers of St Brigid, although we are from the Scottish branch via Somerled.
Beautiful song ☘️🇮🇪proud to be Irish
