What a beautiful language this is. It would be an enormous tragedy if it dies out. A major effort needs to be made to revive the Celtic languages.

Labhrófar arís, tá súil agam.

For many many years the song that I usually sang in Scotland at family get togethers and New Year etc. was "Westering Home" which I understood to be a Scottish Song..I've just discovered that it probably originated from an Irish Gaelic song Trasna na d'Tonta from the Gweedore area in Donegal....Well my name is Irish and it originated in Donegal so looks like I came full circle back to my roots in Ireland...Our relatives and friends in Ramelton Donegal usually asked me to sing Westering Home but no one ever said it was the same as the Gaelic one !. "The Star of Donegal" was my encore !!!!

The Scottish Gaelic song Eilean Mo Chridhe also appears to be inspired by this family of songs, and is set to the same melody. Furthermore, the melody is essentially identical to the Scottish jig "O Lassie Art Thou Sleeping Yet" from Kerr's 5th Collection c. 1875, which now is sung to the words "The Muckin' o' Geordie's Byre" (and played as a fiddle and pipe tune under that name as well). There's so much trading back and forth here, it's hard to say who was first!

This is sadly the only verse of this fine wee sang I know by heart, whereas I know the Trasna na dTonnta verses much better by heart, so when I sing this at seisiúin in Connemara or Donegal, I start off with the Irish verses and conclude with the Scottish Gaelic one - as a wee greeting as Inse Ghall na hAlban / à Innse Ghall na h-Albann!

Randomly remembered this song from school at 3am and I'm baffled that there's a trad Irish that's actually purely joyous and happy

It would be a great idea to have this as our national Anthem. Beautiful song and beautifully sung. Thanks for sharing.

How could Irish people forget this gorgeous language? It is a very beautifull and very melodic language. But today fewer and fewer people are using it, although the gouvernment is trying to save it... I sawed on wikipedia: Irlands gaeltacht areas cowered almost a half of the country in 1926, but today they are almost all gone. English language kills everything. :(

Love this song. I used to sing it when I would go on holidays to the Gaeltacht in Salahoona Spiddal Co Galway when I was a child.

I have not heard this for many years. Amhran iontach e seo.

i sang the whole song in a school show once . Im irish and its a amazing song and very sad

I know this as "Eileann mo gridhe" from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. I enjoyed listening to your version so much...plus you have a higher part [turn] which makes it more of a tune to play on the fiddle...all the best and thank you

Iove this song so much

awosome

I love this song and would love to be able to sing it, but I have massive difficulty pronouncing a lot of the Gaelic words. I think I've got the chorus ok, but I can't get my head around the pronunciation of the two verses. Could anyone help and write the verses out for me phonetically?...

At my school we learned this cuase I’m Irish

wow✌

Buíochas le Dia...

lol happy St P's from Canada

nice

@Gaeilgeoir well, trasna does mean across, but when someone crosses the ocean we say they went "over the waves" or "over the sea" - so this is the best translation to keep the context of the phrase: travelling over the waves, far away from home, to a new country... from where one day your fat great-grandchildren will return with cameras and fanny-packs for St. "Patty's" day ;)

there is another version called Westering Home with similar musical tone, right?
