Celtic Woman - Siuil a run

[Silvana12332]

Blathnaid Jenning in my class sind the solo.....i would die my............slan

[inuyasha9700]

whats the first song called??

[wundermuffi]

This song is actually a combination of two war time songs from ireland. The English part tells the story of a girl who is in love with a man in the army. Wearing red petticoats, women used to follow the army camps around to be with their lovers/husbands/brothers and because they were recognized in red petticoats they would recieve free food. The gaelic part is about a woman who is calling her lover to the door so they can run off and elope.

[SnowAngel2040]

wats the piece of music played before the actual song?

[Mckalmelid]

Ain't her name speled orla?



[purplelamprox]

@Mckalmelid Orla is her professional name, her real name is Orlagh

[1729GennyBrigid]

I got to meet David Downes after a CW concert on Dec 11th. He was so nice!

[YourNeighborhoodHERO]

@emogirllovsu liar

[Andaer11]

Who actually is singing



[1729GennyBrigid]

@Andaer11 Orlagh Fallon

[MarinVillalpando15]

I'm so happy to have this album. :)

[UndercoverCracker]

She has THE Celtic voice. 

[Canadafreeze1]

I miss Orlagh

[TripBoomLikeThat]

@Canadafreeze1 She's still around, and doing well as a solo act! She had a very good Christmas show last year on PBS, and I'm sure it will be on again this year.

[spirtproductions]

i loved this song so much when a was little i was raised on this music :)

[TheFaenon]

@mercinaryphoenix proves your failure in gaelic. Scottish and Irish are both forms of gaelic except the irish form is known as gaeilge its just a variance in some phrases and words. Both are a few of the oldest tongues on this good earth perhaps I'd suggest you learn the language to see and understand :) Tiochaigh ar la.

[beachbumnov1953]

I want to learn Gaelic...

[everybodypoops11]

i know it isn't, but it's so good that it sounds fake.

[werne5633]

Really nice voice

Catchy tune

[WolframvonBielefeld9]

@okiweird2 i agree - although i prefer the Celtic Woman version of Orinoco Flows...they are all incredibly talented people though, and all their songs are beautiful

[angelfromthegrave]

i adore her voice

[okiweird2]

I love celtic woman... but Enya does a better version

[1sorryham]

@okiweird2: I don't think Enya has done this song, although there are a few other Irish groups and artists who have done it.

[okiweird2]

@1sorryham lol... i was thinking of anne buckley

[DeseKang]

Dear Ilakiruna, also all of the commentors, may I know from which song I could find the instrumental melody played in the beginning of the song on this clip from 1st till 10th seconds...it sounds so catchy and nice for me...thank you.

[ImaginaryNightshade]

@DeseKang A New Day, by Mohicans :) I've seen this question asked lots of times on this video, maybe the title of the song should be included in the description of the video?

[vlnvlaclogbaerhpno]

Pretty, but doesn't hold a candle to Maire Brennan/Clannad's Siuil A Run.

[idkrandomnumbers]

@EmoGirlLovsU really? i always wanted to learn gaelic! thank you sooo much!

[idkrandomnumbers]

can we stop fighting and enjoy this?!

[holmaed]

Does any body know what the intro song was???

[christianpoet2003]

Love the expression she puts into this song. Simply beautiful.

[NormbrettaMod]

SPEAK ENGLISH LIKE WE TAUGHT YOU SAVAGES FOR FUCKS SAKE

[christianpoet2003]

@NormbrettaMod Savages are they?/ The Irish language is one of the most beautiful languages I have ever heard spoken. To call the Irish savages is to call me a savage as well, as I am Irish, Scottish, Native American, German, and Polish by heritage. I am proud of the Irish and Native American parts of my heritage, and express them as much as I can.

[NormbrettaMod]

@christianpoet2003

WELL NOT SO SAVAGE NOW COS WE CAME OVER AND CIVILISED THEM. AND NO IT ISNT TO CALL YOU A SAVAGE AS WELL COS BEING IRISH ISNT JUST ABOUT BLOOD ITS ABOUT CULTURE YOU MORON. . . . .

[thej209]

@NormbrettaMod CAPSLOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL.

You cant even spell cause, and your calling other people savages?

Maybe you should speak Latin like the Romans taught you barbarians. Limey bastard.

[NormbrettaMod]

@thej209

HEY WE WAS PERFECTLY CIVILISED BEFORE THE ROMANS CAME OVER HERE YOU PIECE OF SHIT ITS THE IRISH THAT HAD TO BE SORTED OUT BY US ENGLISH COS THEY ACTED ALL UNCIVILISED AND SHIT DONT YOU KNOW ????

[thej209]

@NormbrettaMod If you were perfectly civilized when the Romans invaded, then why did the Picts and Scots put up a better fight then you?

[NormbrettaMod]

@thej209

BY BEING SHIT SCARY BARBARIANS THATS HOW. AND ANYWAY IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE ROMAN CONQUEST THEN YOU'LL KNOW THEY WERE IN FACT ORIGINALLY INVITED HERE BY THE KING OF THE ATREBATES TO TRY AND "TAME" OUR LAND YOU FUCKING MORON

[christianpoet2003]

@NormbrettaMod A culture that they should be proud of. And who are you to decide who needs your so- called civilization? I would rather be a moron than a jackass any day!

[NormbrettaMod]

@christianpoet2003

WOT ??? BE PROUD OF A CULTURE THAT DOESNT EVEN KNOW HOW TO MAKE SCHOOLS ?? OR GOVERNMENT ?? AND EVEN THESE DAYS THEY TO BACKWARD TO DO PROPER INTENSIVE FARMING LIKE NORMAL CULTURES

[christianpoet2003]

@NormbrettaMod I am not going to argue about it. My point is, though, that they have the right to be different. Their language is a part of who they are. Their customs are a part of who they are. They have a right to be who and what they are, just like any other group of people. To me, you sound like the type of person who would prefer to put the Celts on reservations like Andrew Jackson did to the Native Americans, or to kill them, like Hitler did to the Jews.

[NormbrettaMod]

@christianpoet2003

THE CELTS? THEY ARENT THE CELTS. ITS BEEN DISCOVERED IN THE LAST DECADE THAT THE "CELTIC" CULTURES OF THE BRITISH ISLES HAVE MORE IN COMMON WITH PLACES LIKE GALICIA AND BASQUE COUNTRY (WHERE NATIVE BRITONS ARE DESCENDED FROM), NOT ANY OF THE FORMER CELTIC PROVINCES. SAME WITH THE LANGUAGE. YOU WRONG. STOP STANDING UP FOR UNCIVILISED PEOPLES NOW. OKAY. AND I DONT WANT TO KILL ANYONE I JUST WANT TO HELP THEM TO BE BETTER HUMANS :((((

[12shortygirl]

I'm sad for you @christianpoet2003 you call these people uncivilized yet you're the one acting like it. I read your comments and as a 17 year old I see ignorance in your thoughts.

[idkrandomnumbers]

@12shortygirl go girl!

[christianpoet2003]

@12shortygirl I never called them barbarians. I was defending them. Call me ignorant if you wish, but you are accusing me of things I did not say.

[12shortygirl]

@christianpoet2003 Oh I'm sooo sorry I meant it for NormbrettaMod. Please excuse me.

[christianpoet2003]

@12shortygirl Ok. I kindof figured, but I didn't realize it until after my reply.

[christianpoet2003]

@NormbrettaMod I will stand up for whomever I want to stand up for. I can see that I need to find a different video for this song so as not to get myself in trouble.

[NormbrettaMod]

@christianpoet2003

nooo you don't, :P i was trolling you :)

[iLikeCookie88]

Everyone should look up the lord of the dance version of this song, nothing beats it! Tá sé níos fearr ;)

[Teinrai]

@hanaAndari

the same XD that song is "A New Day" recorded by Mohicans

[laurenguthrie85]

Beautiful song. I love her voice.

[1989anglbear]

such a beautiful language

[cocokitty55]

whats the song at the very beginning?? (the one showing the pics)

[Teinrai]

@cocokitty55

that song is "A New Day" recorded by Mohicans

[EmoGirlLovsU]

i learned this song for fun when i was 13, when i turned 15 i was able to go to ireland and preform infront of judges with my choir, we did this song and i was the soloist, and we got a perfect score. It was the celtic woman version. because of tht i learned Gaelic, from roseta stone. now im 16

[chcarcar]

@EmoGirlLovsU cool i wish i was you

[EmoGirlLovsU]

@chcarcar no you dont, my life is soooooo busy and hectic its no fun some times but i do try to have fun

[sallyanna3]

@EmoGirlLovsU u sure my life isn't like that to??

[EmoGirlLovsU]

@sallyanna3 im always at practice anymore soooooooo im very busy..

[TimLugia]

@EmoGirlLovsU So Roseta Stone really works on Gaeilge? I'm thinking about getting one....

Did you use all three levels?

[EmoGirlLovsU]

@TimLugia yah on both

[colorguardpanda]

@EmoGirlLovsU does roseta stone have gealic? I'm dying to learn.

[colorguardpanda]

Respond to this video... I'm not emo girl and I don't love you so don't be creeped out. I don't know why that's coming up.

[EmoGirlLovsU]

@colorguardpanda ??????? confused ???????

[FADFaeb]

@EmoGirlLovsU I want to learn gaelic, hebrew, arabic, norse, bengali, french, spanish, chinese, and sioux

[EmoGirlLovsU]

@FADFaeb i no 4 of those languages... truth is the more languages you know the more intelligent you are than the average person

[shennacarter]

@EmoGirlLovsU Truth is intelligence has nothing to do with how many languages you know. It's great you know those languages but honestly it doesn't make you more intelligent.

[EmoGirlLovsU]

@shennacarter yah it does it widening your spectrum of knowledge, which is intellegence... but nvr mind tht its good to learn language period

[mercinaryphoenix]

@EmoGirlLovsU gaelic is the scottish language, celtic is irish, and welsh is well welsh lol

[EmoGirlLovsU]

@mercinaryphoenix i thought and what it said on my roseta stone package was gaelic was the old irish and now its shortened more and about the celtic thing tht the way of life of the irish and the welsh thing i hav no clue lol , drawing a blank.... LOL on me :)

[Kimjira1]

@mercinaryphoenix Actually, gaelic has a few different dialects, one of which is Irish gaelic another is Scottish gaelic. There is also something called Manx gaelic, but I don't know who exactly the Manx are. Welsh is a celtic language but belongs to a different classification than gaelic.

[waasdorp29]

@EmoGirlLovsU I want to learn Gaelic super bad. How much was the Roseta stone for it?

[EmoGirlLovsU]

@waasdorp29 it was expensive cant remember the price but they are haveing a sale now... check on the tv

[BeidhArLaLinn]

@waasdorp29 you can get a free program that will learn you a few basic gaelic phrases, google "byki" and select irish.

i could get you the translation for this song if you wish,

Is féidir ádh a bheith in éineacht leat :)

[angel094754]

when my parents were seperated this song made me cry, no clue why

[CadjinGisclair]

So this is Orlagh Fallon singing this one right? I have the version sung by Lisa Kelly on my iPod. I like them both. Aren't they both in the group Celtic Woman?

[TimLugia]

@CadjinGisclair yes, they were. but Orla left a few years ago for her solo career. just saw Celtic Woman's Songs From the Heart last week, going to see Orla Fallon's My Land this Oct !!!

[CPWHshawna]

MUSIC AT START is "A New Day" recorded by Mohicans

Listen to it on YouTube, search: A New Day Mohicans

Enjoy!!

CD - Mohicans (Music Inspired by the Deep Spirit of Nature), released 2002

track #4 - "A New Day" by Fabrizio Baldoni, Gino De Stefani, Paolo Re

I was so eager to find this song, I read all the comments--I'm not the only one wanting to know...nor the only one to post the title BUT at last we have a link to listen to the full version.

[TheCelticValhalla]

the celtic women are beautifully talented singers :)

[PirateStiffy]

If I was Orlagh, I would feel so awkward to just stand there and sing and...try to figure out how to move without falling over. At least gimme a mic so I have something to hold!

[requiemlarp]

It's a beautiful song, but it's a little too fast for the lament that this song is.

[alexakarpov]

Clannad does this much better

[djking82989]

This song is good for the heart and soul

[ragamuffin92]

Beautiful song, and the background harmonies are incredible.

[Nyghtshade409]

What was that song clip at the very start?

[JoJoItPo]

@Nyghtshade409 a new day by Mohicans :D i finally found out too after the longest time :D the full song is actually really beautiful, enjoy

[Nyghtshade409]

@JoJoItPo Ah, thank you!

[FantasiaKatie]

What is a music on start?

[JoJoItPo]

@FantasiaKatie it's a new day by mohicans :D

[FantasiaKatie]

@JoJoItPo thank

[princessimmortily]

This song is my fav.I learned to sing it at camp,but she does it.: )

[BlakeKilbourne]

Ms. Fallon is my favorite of the singers in this group. She's got a super-mature, melodic voice... no wonder I can't get this song outside my head.

[mirroredhour]

@BlakeKilbourne very true. she and meav are admittedly my favorites. oh no, I just went on to their website to see what her name was, but it says they're both FORMER members. WHAT?! when did that happen? *shock*

[MrTouchShriek]

@mirroredhour Celtic Woman just isn't what it used to be. Too much commercialization, maybe? Not sure. I do know that both Orla and Meav expressed reservations about the overly hectic tour schedule.

[mirroredhour]

@MrTouchShriek oh yes, that explains it. they are very popular and it wouldn't be surprising for them to have a hectic tour schedule. but, still. i guess i'll just check out their other non-celtic-woman-related stuff.

[atenorforjesus]

Have you ever heard a group called Lothlorien do this. It is much more solemn, it will make you cry.

[juditbi]

Albert Camus wrote after our revolution in 1956 that Hungarians are the Irish of Eastern Europe. Greetings from Hungary!

[Shayladream]

so amazing i got a freind hooked on them and she can sleep unless this song is playing!

[alienatedfreak23]

SONG AT THE BEGINNING PLEASE!!

[MegaSlivers]

to bad for the haters of this songs so buteful and so wonderful

[1990hitomi]

when i hear this song for the first time, it so touched my heart and tears ran down.

[OneGirlRevolution100]

what is the song in the beginning?

[IntoTheMystical]

@OneGirlRevolution100 It's called "Mohicans - A New Day".

[hexereby]

mein lieblings lied!

[d0bbb]

I love Anúna and always will. And I just want to say you people (irish) who understands Gailge (gaeliska in swe) are very lucky. Such a wonderful sound......

/ Fredrik from Sweden.

[ImaginaryNightshade]

@d0bbb This isn't Anúna, it's Celtic Woman :) Anúna has a version too, though, which is great as well.

[TheFaenon]

@ danielle1995715 it's about a woman whose lover's enlistment in the Irish Brigade who left Ireland after the Williamite War (1691) to serve in the French Army, and it's about how she'd do anything to make sure her loved one is safe and the meaning of siuil go doras agus ealaigh liom is go to the door and flee with me, I think its referencing how she'd rather her and her lover to run away than have him leave to fight.

[huhuboyd123]

what is the song called in the very beginning when it was showing the slide shows of pictures of Celtic Woman

[danielle1995715]

what is this song about??

[raukoshadowdemon]

the song is called Siúil a Rúin, its in both irish gaelic and english

[danielle1995715]

is the song in gaelic form of irish or another form?

[coops2671]

learning irish for ye must be fun but here in southern ireland we all have to learn it and im 14 and nearly every kid in school hates learning it. i used to be in the irish part of the school but every class was in irish and it was to hard for me so i moved to the english part of the school nd im doing higher level irish, but it is hard. :(

[northertnivorycoast1]

Gaeilge is my favorite language aswell, Connacht Irish, Ulster Irish and Munster Irish are different, but all beautiful in their own way.

[norsketroll1]

orla also has an amazing voice, ilove chloe's voice, lisa's, and of course mairead on the fiddle

[sarahblant]

25 people need to learn how to use their mouses and click the like button XD

[sarahblant]

Proud to be part Irish.XD

[khnmwbff]

either way any gaelic is too valuable to lose. we all of gaelic ancestry should learn some form aof gaelic. you agree?

[vampiremasquerade88]

@khnmwbff yes i agree and i plan on it. plus when i go to ireland ill want to know how to speak it just for fun. even though barley anyone dose any more. we need to change that

[khnmwbff]

@vampiremasquerade88 yes it does need changing.

as has been said in the past. " Never doubt a small group of committed people, who wish to change world. iIdeed, it is the only thing that has."

[DurzaGaiden]

My family is mostly Welsh and Northern Irish, and I also have trouble deciding whether I should learn Gaelic or not, let alone choosing between Welsh and Irish dialect.

[RHEB68]

@DurzaGaiden when you learn either one, would you teachme?

[Kennyboy1]

I like Anunas version better

[XxLoveNightmaresxX]

I come from both Irish and Scottish decent. Both are Celtic nations, and it makes it very difficult to try to choose which type of Gaelic to learn. I need to find a teacher first, however. Teaching myself this amazing language isn't going so well...

[AoibheClaire]

@XxLoveNightmaresxX Learn either and the second will come easier. :) I learnt Irish all the way through school and can understand some Scottish Gaelic!

[retrothefox]

I'm of Celtic descent myself (Welsh though, not Irish) but I agree that Gaelic languages are too important to loose. I'm currently trying to track down someone who will teach me Welsh, and then perhaps I'll move onto some more if I ever get to grips with my "mother tongue" - if that's the right thing to call it.

Such beautiful languages shouldn't be allowed to die out.

[SoulStorm830]

Would anybody tell me what Siuil a run meansß? THX

[IkBenEenKnoop]

@SoulStorm830 You can google the translation that's what I did but i forgot it. BTW try Anne Buckley's version, verry pretty too

[ArabRider101]

@SoulStorm830 Walk My Love

[crtplyr90]

@SoulStorm830 The complete translation of lyrics is

"Walk, walk, walk my love

Walk quickly to me, softly move

Walk through the door and away we'll flee

And safe may my darling be"

this song is my favorite. it's beautiful. It makes me proud to be half irish.

[QuoteGirl19]

Is aobhionn liom an Celtic Woman! Ta siad ar fheabhas! :)

[SuperCritterLover]

As weird as it sounds, I sing this to my horses to get them to calm down. They've heard a lot of Gaelige since they came to live at my place.

[TripBoomLikeThat]

@SuperCritterLover Horses are very smart animals - and have good taste in music it would seem!

[fireloverbc13]

@TripBoomLikeThat wat does that mean?

[TripBoomLikeThat]

@fireloverbc13 I was responding to SuperCritterLover's comment, he sings this song to his horses. His comment is just below mine if you want to read it.

[fireloverbc13]

@TripBoomLikeThat o...i was tired and overlooked that :( lol

[1angel0777]

Anyone know where I can find a good online place to learn Gaelic? I've always been interested in languages, and I find Gaelic an absolutely beautiful sound to hear and would like to be able to speak it as well!

[IntoTheMystical]

@1angel0777 Just search for "learning Gaeilge" on Google if you want to learn the language of this song. If you want Scottish search for "Scottish Gaelic".

[ctraver]

@1angel0777 There may be Irish culture groups near you that offer classes. There are some in Connecticut USA. Some colleges and universities offer it as well. New York University does, in CT, Housatonic Community College offers it.

On your own, check out the Teach Yourself series. Get the editions that come with CDs. This won't be as good as a fully integrated multimedia course like Rosetta Stone, but it will do the job for a dedicated student and is a hell of a lot cheaper.

[TheChipmunkschipette]

wow....that is an amazing song...its so beautiful.......thx for putting this up

[BFro2ndHandAFro]

what is the name of the song you hear in the beginning?

[TripBoomLikeThat]

@BFro2ndHandAFro It's called "A New Day" by the Mohicans.

[FantasyBookWriter]

@IntoTheMystical If you search" Irish language" in Google and go to Wikipedia, there it says: "Irish (Gaeilge) is a Goidelic language of the Indo-European language family,..."

You're 100% right!

God bless the irish!

[IntoTheMystical]

@FantasyBookWriter Thanks - and agreed!!

[davismw2000]

Don't worry there are those of us who speak it still Gaelic is not dead so Tapadh leat for loading this video Eireann go Brach ! Slán agus beannacht leat

[Rubyglow57]

I love the calm and magic feeling of Celtic music.

[topito2]

i love this song!!!! Orla has a fantastic voice!!!!!

[ZZvonSchnerk]

The Irish language, is absolutely beautiful for music, as pieces like this prove. It has fewer and fewer native speakers, and I for one will be truly sad if it goes the way of Anglo-Saxon/Old English, which is just as beautiful for poetry but is now sadly long dead and spoken only by specialists. The fact that music like this is, for obvious reasons, more widespread than recitations of ancient poetry will hopefully keep Gaeilge accessible for a long time yet.

[12bennyboy12]

beautiful!!! i love this song!

[IntoTheMystical]

This is easily researched on Google. Gaelic is a group of languages, Gaeilge, Manx, and Scottish Gaelic. Gaeilge is the official language of Ireland, and in English, Gaeilge means "Irish".

The language in the video is Gaeilge or Irish.

[youaresooogay]

@IntoTheMystical Gaeilge means "Gaelic", not Irish

Don't forget Cornish and Welsh....they are also Gaelic.

Slainté!

[IntoTheMystical]

@youaresooogay No, every reference I've read says the English word for Gaeilge is "Irish", I have to go by that unless you have something official I can check. I've also heard many Irish people say Gaeilge means Irish.

[youaresooogay]

@IntoTheMystical touché! I was always taught that "Erse" and Gaedhilic were Irish, and that Gaeilge was gaelic.

Sucks. Indo-germanic languages are very dialectical, and Goidelic groups are apparently no exception. Nice to learn something new.

I'm very interested in learning Manx gaelic right now. Very hard.

[IntoTheMystical]

@youaresooogay There are so many languages in the British Isles, there is no shame in getting a little confused at times. Good luck with your linguistic studies.

[youaresooogay]

@IntoTheMystical lol too true too true

between that, my pashtu lessons and my german i get confused a lot lol

[MissAlbaNuadh]

@youaresooogay scotch gaelic is known as Gaidhlig by the speakers in Nova Scotia we call it Gaelic unless we are speaking it

[9drtr]

@youaresooogay Cornish, Welsh and Breton (let's not forget them) are from the Brythonic branch of the Celtic language group, not the Goidelic branch.

[beast72486]

@OnceUponAWildflower  Oh didn't know that...

[beast72486]

It's spelled Gaelic .

[theluckynames]

i love how celtic woman is actually teaching me some gaelic, thank you very much ladies! keep singing and bringing a little bit of ireland all around the world!

[zvaniel4o]

Witch concert is that ?

[kjellsvien]

the song at beginning is New Day by Mohicans.

[TripBoomLikeThat]

@kjellsvien Thank you, many people have been asking about that intro. The Mohicans videos are very beautiful.

[RaveninWinter]

I had the good fortune to see their live tour where they sang this song. It was a beautiful concert.

[Maksimfan]

Although this is a wonderful version, I believe that Clannad's version better portrays the sadness this song needs
