One old English folkie here: most people think my musical tastes are a bit wierd, my friends will confirm that. In the last 3 years I have discovered my musical home is in Celtic music, and I haven't looked back. 58 years wandering in the musical wilderness, what a waste of life. But I've made so many new friends, started to learn Gaelic, what a community!

I have no clue what this song is about. But all fibres of my body tell me it is my song. Hats off!

It is about a man from the north-east of Ireland who has been exiled to Scotland, and who wishes he could return home.

@@Alenarien Thank you very much for your kind explanation. No I know why this song is so sad and nostalgic.

Hi! I've just now posted the lyrics and google translate - it seems quite good translation.

I don't know the words but my Irish soul is singing! Soon I will return to my roots. And I am doubly blessed that I will take up the beauty of my Mexican wife and see it into my Irish history!

Stunning. Breathtaking. The hairs on my arms won't be going down for a while. Gotta follow up Cor Thaobh a' Leithid, try & see them live.

I love this, one off my favourite Gaelic songs, with Ulster pronunciation, as opposed to my smatterring of Munster Gaelic os na Deise.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

I used to sing this beautlful anthem at all my sessions years ago. I don,t know why I stopped. This is a great version. MARY O ,Hara also does a beautiful renderring.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Who here is toasting the green land of home? Sláinte!

Kindest regards to Gweedore - there must be heaven on earth !

There's an English version called "The Quiet Land of Erin" based on this lovely Irish Gaelic song. It has the same refrain, "Agus och och Eire lig os o", I heard it sung by a guy called Barney Downey from Cork back in the 1960s.

My friends tell me that this music is shit... but I always fail to understand how it doesn't move them from the deepest parts of their cores to the tips of their fingers. Even as a young black man with a Scottish great-grandfather, I can still appreciate this... so why can't everyone else?

arockybeavers I get you. My friends all think I’m weird listening to this, but in my opinion this is so much nicer than pop and loud rocky music

This is absolutely beautiful

The quiet land of Erin! Greetings from Hellas.

there is an instrumental version, performed with the celtic harp by Breton musician Alan Stivell, on his 1974 album "Renaissance de la Harpe celtique".

in irish, the most beautiful language sa domhain!

Awesome! Moving, organic - like the land itself.

This is so awesome!

Contrary to what anyone else says, as PDQ Bach said on his radio show, If it sounds good, it is good. A very beautiful song with great resonance.

Wonderfull

Voces que practicamente no necesitan instrumentos de apoyo!!

I'm currently learning Gaelic, it's a difficult but truly beautiful language, tomorrow hopefully I can start writing a poem in this beautiful language c:

how's your poem?

Miraculous!

Thak you sooo much for posting more of their songs! I wanted to buy this CD last year when i was in Cork, but it wasn't available :( Consequently, the only possiblity for me is to listen to them on youTube. I know that uploading is timeconsuming but the more you post the better :) Thank you once again

like sacred harp society

WOW! Thar barr!

Several tribes made up the larger population of the Celtic people. Indeed, the Gaels, Gauls, Britons, Irish and Galatians were all Celtic tribes

Bendigedig, beautiful

Cé go bhfuil blas Muimhneach ar mo chuid Gaelainne ní mór dhom a admháil gurb í canúint Thír Chonaill an ceann is áille 's is binne in Éirinn.

fíor dhiamhair.. mealann focla an amhrán so fíor mhisneach agus cumha ionam féin... agus an amhránaíocht; go diail..

Irish is not saxons. not danish, not norvegians - not vikings - Irish is only keltic Irish!

Moran taing :-)

Because Gaelic was the language of the Celts? lol pretty simples really my friend

Why are these lyrics always off a little? Are they auto generated somehow? This song has been on here too long for that maybe. But the lyrics are missing letters and even words.

The lyrics look good to me, what letters and words do you think are missing? The only things I noticed were maybe "féin" when they actually sing "fhéin", and "trá" instead of "tráigh". But both of those are perfectly fine in my opinion, just differences in pronunciation.

Irish is not saxons, not danish, not norvegias - not vikings - Irish is only irish!

If this is Gaelic, what's with the celtic crosses?

'English is chistians, but english is danians, but irish is thue chistians - not danians, not saxsons - it is keltiks!

Wrong... Gaelic is the language of the Gaels... Celts are not Gaels... simple really my friend.

irish is not irish is name layed on you by anglo-saxons - you are the real ARYANS....Aloha

I am an Irish Gael, and very proud to have been one for my nearly 90 years. This is one of the great Gaelic airs not Aryan.🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐Sean O,Dunlaing.

Beautiful. Dá mbeinn féin in Airdí Cuan In aice an tsléibhe úd 'tá i bhfad uaim B'annamh liom gan dul ar cuairt Go Gleann na gCuach Dé Domhnaigh Cúrfá: Agus och, och Éire 'lig is ó É ire lonndubh agus ó ' s é mo chroí 'tá trom agus brónach Is iomaí Nollaig 'bhí mé féín I mbun abhann Doinne is mé gan chéill Ag iomáin ar an trá bhán Is mo chamán bán i mo dhorn liom Nach tuirseach mise anseo liom féin Nach nairím guth coiligh, londubh nó traon Gealbhán, smaolach, naoscach féin Is chan aithním féin an Domhnach Dá mbeadh agam féin ach coit is rámh Nó go n-iomarfainn ar an tsnámh Ag dúil as Dia go sroichfinn slán Is go bhfaighinn bás in Éirinn Google translate is really becoming first rate for Irish: I think this is not bad, a few errors (eg,. lonndubh is blackbird, camán is a hurley stick..). Maybe. people more fluent might comment.. If I were myself in Ardi Cuan Near that mountain is far from me It was rare for me not to visit To Glenna Cuach on Sunday Chorus: And oh, oh Ireland 'let it go It's black and white My heart is heavy and sad I've had many Christmases myself At the bottom of the Doinne river I am without a clue Drifting on the white beach I have my white card in my fist I'm not tired here alone I don't hear the voice of a cock, a blackbird or a crow White, smoky, self-righteous I myself recognize Sunday If I only had a row Or that I would go swimming Wishing for God that I would arrive safely To die in Ireland
