the way this female sings this song is terrible, so many squiggles around each note that you can hardly follow the real melody. we here call that "overartistic", which means "ruined by too much effort". i only recognized it from the headline. listen to the dubliners´version to know what i mean.
hi friend, how about writing a correct (complete) headline? with artist and song name so one can find this song? i only found it over the thumbnails on the right side of the screen. but anyone who tries to find the song by the title/or name (remember: youtube is partly a search engine!!!) will not find don´t write an angry reply, better write a correct headline for other fans
Polish are arrogant, should we be greatful you have "a respect" for us, why would you not have respect? we don't need to be vocal about ourselves, learn our ways and save your praise Mr Polish man
It's funny though, I've never seen the name Roisin translated into Rosaleen before... i've always just thought of it as...well...roisin. (if you get what i mean)
Not a big fan of Sean Nós signing, but like this very much. :)
I had to comment here as well (I´ve posted about ten others always saying how much I love your country :D haha)
I love Ireland! I wish to see you one day...
Our countries have a similar history and I have a great respect for you. Serbs were slaves to the Otomans for more than 500 years and we got our freedom back not allowing at any point our language, culture or religion to be changed or forbidden by the barbarous Turks.
First, you have a beautiful voice. Second, thank you for singing it in Irish and for posting the Irish lyrics. I've studied Irish and find that singing a language helps me understand it and speak it more intuitively - or here's to hoping!
my name is Roisin and i have always been picked on for having this name....but i am proud of it, i am scottish but im glad to have a bit of irish linked to me...does anyone know anything else about the history of the name roisin...also i have a twin called siobhan, do you know anything about her name please...
@Roisin93bun ..Yea Roisin is a beautifull name...Roisin dubh ,was a kinda "FEMME FATALE" IF YA KNOW WAT I MEAN????But don't worry, as ya haven't reached that stage ,yet, HOPEFULLY, BUT I LOVE THAT NAME shrouded in mystery??Ancient Celtic MYSTERY
Brilliant! Beautifully done, so professional. I live in England, but most of the family is of irish origin, so I totally feel the roots. Beautiful language Gaelic, and you do it wonderfully in acapella. Acapella is hard to do, too!
That was fantastic. I fell in love with this song when I first heard it on Voices of Celtic Women. You did a beautiful job with it and your voice was just amazing.
I have been passing this along to friends on Facebook and the feedback has been amazing. You should do more Irish songs just like you did this one! I am truly floored. I am Irish and I have heard many good Irish singers and to sing in Gaelic is difficult. You did a fantastic job on this!
Thank you soooooooo much LaneyOfLimerick! This is a very special song to me. I haven't had much time to work on something new but I'm gonna try to put a new irish song up soon :)
What an incredibly beautiful voice! I got goosebumps listening and had to play again. Why have we not heard before of Molly McColgan? You would blow any the competition on American Idol and Britain's Got Talent. A cd produced anywhere? So beautiful a voice that even the angels would weep!
So I know the Scots and the Irish can never agree on who is best :P
But as a Scot, I have a lot of respect for the people of the Emerald Isle....Scotland and Ireland's histories are similar as well and they share Gaelic as a language with dialects being the difference. Celtic culture, period, is a beautiful thing and something to be proud of if you have it!
@xlaxpinguinax yEA ,WE HAVE A LOT IN COMMON,,,But don't ya think, sometimes, that our dIvisions have been fabricated by DIVIDE N CONQUER POLICIES??????????????????????????''
I was really touched by your words! Even if I am not scottish I have a Celtic heart and love your country, your culture and your music. Cheers Scotland!
Interesting parallels you draw.....& quite true. I will be counting the "40 shades of green" on the Emerald Isle in May. I enjoyed Zakopane & Krakow last summer. Hi from Canada
@panpiotr888 ...Yes my friend, and there will be much more blood for freedom????but it is worth the pain.....? because finally, we are right%% aan when you're right, NOBODY CAN STEAL YOUR SOUL?? BUT THEY WILLTRY TO DEGRADE YOU, Label you, INDOCTRINATE YOU, FUCK YOU DOWN 'TILL YA NO LONGER CAN SEE THE GROUND????KNOW WAT I MEAN???
@osjaikisa Assuming that you are genuine interested and not just being rude, might I as an Irishman point out that from the time of Jan Sobiewski (and probably long before) up to the Warsaw ghetto the Poles have done little else but fight for their and our freedom. The Polish War Memorial is a rather inadequate ackolwdgement of their WW11 contibution
@flanncada 1. Pay attention: I didn't asked about their contribution to something. I asked who did they fight. 2. "Our freedom"??? Whose "our" !? Taking into account that you are irish I dare assume that in your opinion poles fought for freedom of Ireland. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?!?!?. 3. And if you talk about their contribution in WW2 I can tell you: their fight for THEIR freedom lasted 3 weeks!!! Overrun by germans in 3 weeks! FACT!!!
@osjaikisa If you interested in the answer you could read some European history to learn of the continuous fight for freedom of the Polish Peoples against the Russians, Prussians, Ottomans and Nazis. If it wasn't for Jan Sobieski we might well be part of the Ottoman Empire. Anyone who fought against the Nazis fought for the rest of Europe and the polish struggle lasted beyond the initial defeat - a bit like the Irish! Pearse surrendered after 5 days. I'm only interested in the song
@panpiotr888 And irish have even greater respect for poles! You can notice that on construction sites across Ireland! )) Every time I went to toilets on different sites I had a great time reading the walls!)))
Im an Englishman living in Dublin with my irish fiance, and until i met her, i was oblivious to anything Irish. Iam definitely learning a lot about the culture and especially the music and the people. The people are really friendly and i just love being here. Irish folk music is just so passionate and i love it, especially when it is sung by a beautiful voice like this. Long live Irish music.
Glad you love it here! :) As an irishman I personally have a love hate relationship with Ireland, Love the people, music, culture, friendliness and the craic but hate the weather!
A lot of Irish or Scottish folk songs like this song remind me of old japanese folk songs. I think there is possibility that old Celtic tribes used to live in Old Japan. For example the legends of "Oisín" and"Urashima taro" are very much alike.
The word"mac"(son) is like "mago"(grandchild). The reason why I love Celtic things may be from this.
Bhí sé gohan deas. Go raith maith Arigato, a Mholly!
the irish have been through alot through the famine and England ruling us although im only 13 i love our irish culture and this woman sings this absoultely beautiful and im sure its better than any celtic version x my opinion and you have your own
Thank you for posting this. My parents were Irish and the older I get the closer I am drawn to understanding my roots. There is so much art in Irish culture. Much pain and injustice. The emotion is touchable.

Ok this person can hold a tune, but that is not to say that this was a well sung piece of sean nos. The accent is tasteless, clearly not someone who even speaks with any kind of blas. And the ornamentation is really artificial and breathy, and unnecessary in quite a few places. Sorry, but I have to say it- this is the kinda shite they feed Americans. Agh, just had to be frank!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yay, someone agrees! But the Celtic 'Women' are an even bigger abomination, seeing as they are IRISH, or at least one of them is. They have one of the greatest genuine traditions and lots of new innovative music to choose from, but their style and training exhibit FUCK ALL imagination. Their shit is so perverse and pretentious, they're like Gaelic Girls Aloud. Ugh.....:))
Hehe, you don't have to be Irish to feel the call of that beautiful island. I've been there for two weeks years ago, on a trip with my dad and sister and ever since I've been wanting to return. This song makes my heart fly high and I wish I could be in Ireland now.
Beatifuly sung, absolutely stunning, sent chills up my spines and tears to my eyes.
You mistake literal translation for correct translation, which is almost the opposite of the truth. What is meant is black-haired, which, by the way, would be poetically ugly in English, and poetry without linguistic beauty is nonsense.
It would be more laughable to translate this personification of Ireland as `little black rose´ than, say, `Fear gorm´ as blue man - even though that meaning is also there, implied in the poetry.
Yes, charles,it is black in literal Irish,as in the colour.But also used, especially in song and poetry, to mean dark - mood,sadness or just generally.Of course it is possible the woman in question was African,but she is really a metaphor for Ireland in most scholarly interpretations of this piece.
Oh cop on! Roisin Dubh means Black Little Rose, and was a common image used by poets to represent Ireland as a beautiful flower, or beautiful woman ( eg Thin Lizzy's 'Dark Rosaleen') shrouded in darkness under British rule, waiting for the light of freedom to shine on her so she could blossom again, blah blah blah. There were NO Africans knockin around Ireland in the 1500-1800's, so there is NO possibility this poem was about an African individual. Get a grip here, man!
Hi fair plat to you, If only more Irish language was tried by everyone it would be more acceptable it would be more popular , Ceist ?,why do Irish speakers expect everyone to be perfect speakers of the language No other language expects other people[ie non natives to be perfect in there teanga, so why o why some Irish, it surely puts a lot of us off, Rant over, have a nice day.
I think its a pity to talk about Dublin like that, its a lovely city and I don't think a tourist is in any more danger here than, say, Paris. So, no, things are not that bad over here by any stretch of the imagination. That said do give galway a look. Beautiful place.

I just loved it.I would love to know Gaelic, although the translation is great as meanings.Congratz and remember we are many in the world that love Eire and Celtic spirit.
Oh my God! I knew your voice was awesome but this was Incredible! you'r absolutely amazing, I'd love to have the right words to describe my astonishment, but my english isnt enough good..

Roisin Dubh means Black Little Rose, and was a common image used by poets to represent Ireland as a beautiful flower, or beautiful woman ( eg Thin Lizzy's 'Dark Rosaleen') shrouded in darkness under British rule, waiting for the light of freedom to shine on her so she could blossom again, blah blah blah. There were NO Africans knockin around Ireland in the 1500-1800's, so there is NO possibility this poem was about an African individual. Get a grip here, man!

Hi fair plat to you, If only more Irish language was tried by everyone it would be more acceptable it would be more popular , Ceist ?,why do Irish speakers expect everyone to be perfect speakers of the language No other language expects other people[ie non natives to be perfect in there teanga, so why o why some Irish, it surely puts a lot of us off, Rant over, have a nice day.

I think its a pity to talk about Dublin like that, its a lovely city and I don't think a tourist is in any more danger here than, say, Paris. So, no, things are not that bad over here by any stretch of the imagination. That said do give galway a look. Beautiful place.

Hi
Love your song. I am learning to play Mandolin and tried playing along as you sang. I am not sure of the key you sing in sounds like C sharp. Can you help me out?
