Oró sé do bheatha bhaile - EOI

[SwordwomanRiona99]

Ah, my first year learning Irish! Seems like yesterday :) We had good fun that day!

[ShenanigansOHooligan]

Nice version.

grand!!!

The Celt Iberians were the Spanish celts who settled on the Iberian peninsula. But the Celts who lived in Ireland migrated from an area very close or in Austria during the La Tene period.

So no, the Irish aren't descended from Spain, the Irish are descended from ancient Austria, and I mean ANCIENT Austria. Trust me on this, look it up and see for yourself. Also, the word Celt comes from a Greek work "keltoi" meaning "hidden people." It was the account of a Greek merchant.

[CosantoirArmach]

To the contrary, most current theories regarding the origins of the Gaels have them migrating from Galicia to Ireland, and later to Mann and Scotland. There were Celts in Austria, certainly, but not Gaelic Celts.

Modern genetic studies have demonstrated the Iberian origin of most "Celtic" (Gaelic and Brythonic) populations in Ireland and Britain.

[Quentin0000000000]

so is this like a gaeltact in Spain or what

[benitogallego]

Spain, the land where Gaelic people came from. Proud to be Spanish!!

[sonho1234]

Gaelic people came from Ireland originally. Gael is Irish for Irish.

[benitogallego]

Have you heard the word "migration"? It is from Spain that Irish origin legends claim that the Irish race sprung towards Ireland.

[sonho1234]

'Legends' which aren't always accurate.

[benitogallego]

The language that was spoken in most part of the Iberian penynsula before the Romans came was very similar to Gaelic. The celtics tribe that arrived to Ireland didn't came from the southeast through England and the north of France, but from the southwest sailing from the norths coasts of what is now Spain. Those are proven facts.

[logan1776]

the gaels are not one group of celtic peoples/what came to be known as "THE GAELS" are a hodge podge of DIFFERENT tribes invading Eire and making it home,there are irish as blonde as marilyn monroe and as dark as antonio banderas

[frolicwitme]

Actually it was Africa not spain

[mariposamuybonita]

Still, the cameraman is funny singing along...

Her voice is very, very beautiful....

[CatholicWarrior20]

She did a wonderful job. She sounds exactly like a native Irish speaker.

[goschuck85]

very good

[Maureen57]

She does sound exactly like an irish person.

[poopsie83]

she's not Irish, she's Spanish :)

[mariposamuybonita]

But the lead singer must be irish, because she has that unmistakenly irish voice.....

[illinois1776]

i must agree with you. my Ma's Irish and sings just like that. if she isn't Irish; then she must have learned to sing first hand from someone who is.

[Maureen57]

The rest of the description says "Another interpretation of the traditional song Oró sé do bheatha bhaile", in Spanish. And the title includes EOI, which stands for Escuela Oficial de Idiomas, in Madrid, Spain.

[Maureen57]

The post says this comes from the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas de Madrid. Official School of Languages in Madrid? Spain, right? Madrid?

[usulkane]

beautiful job!!! love spain!

[usulkane]

ps- i know this isnt spain....beautiful job regardless

[Maureen57]

Is this a language school in Madrid learning Gaelic? Singing is a good way to learn language and culture. Bravo!  Well done, I wanted to sing along.

[Swoop737]

See has a lovely voice. Brilliant job!

[mariposamuybonita]

I love this song, but what I think is sweet, is the cameraman singing along.....

[Snowwolf77]

Lovely. Good show, and a lovely soloist.

[JDLK2005]

Bhi se go halainn. Bhi cailin amhranai go hiontach

[YMarchogGwachul]

Glé mhaith! I enjoyed that - the choir was a bit shaky during the first chorus, but were really strong after that. And the soloist was just lovely.

[FoxfirePoet]

The girl's voice is beautiful. And that's an understatement

[thephantomfighter]

I love this song! I found the words, and I hope to learn it!

[EnemyInsurgents]

Beautiful solo...absolutely beautiful.

[kiaranono]

bouuuuhhh espagnolaaaa boouuuuuhhhhh no hablais un perfecto irlandese Eire a bu gaielge

[IamTheGodComplex]

It's Irish, or Irish Gaelic if you want to be more specific.

This is a great version of the song. It really is meant to be sung by many voices.

[Andy1900VFL]

what is the language??? Oró??? swedish or something?

[Jimenez79]

Enjoy fueling the Irish U-boats in 41? Dispicable

[vaple21]

There were no Irish U-boats. Besides, this comment is a complete non sequitur.

[stephenjoshea]

Are you saying the Irish refuelled U-boats in WW2? Haven't heard that before.

[CosantoirArmach]

It's a long-standing lie from English bigots who sought an excuse to (re)invade Ireland and stamp out the independence of the Irish.

Fortunately they had to accept the fact that they had been handed their asses in 1921 and could expect more of the same in 1940.

[stephenjoshea]

I've since found out that both German and British boats refuelled in a place called Bantry in west Cork. There was a standing agreement between the two navy's that they not attack each other either on entry or leaving the harbour mouth. They once even had a game of soccer on the beach. Locals would sell eggs and other food to the ships.

[Codarsnacht]

lol "at a place called Bantry"

I'm from Cork and its a well known fact that soldiers from both sides were always coming in but if found they were allowed to cross the border or made to stay in "internment camps" lol they went to the pub every weekend with all the locals for god sake,they had a great time!

[PedroAlonsoLopez]

Nice. Greeting from Eire. Surprised that the song is sung over there. Seems random. The most beautiful song in the Irish language.

[meganmurphy1212]

BRAVO!!!

[davievsmrfb]

Good video shame the idiot with the camera is signing just wastes the true sounds of it

[matthewritchie1916]

brilliant video and song. hopefully the spirit of the free state will greatly intensify the true republican ideal of one irleand for a united people!!!
