  • irish is alot older than hebrew, jews were never slaves, origin of egypt is ireland, the dynasties of egypt called ireland their home, scottland got its name from scotia, egyptian princess or queen,a pharaos daughter is buried in ireland, pharaoh first dynasty is buried in ireland, most of civilisation came from west,not east

    migration from east happend later, agressive bloodthirsty empires came from desertmiddleeast.

    jews were never slaves,stole the kaballah and the hebrew writing from egypt

  • This has to be the most mystifying group ever but there music is so relaxing!

  • So mysterious this group clannad suppose thats y i dig them :)

  • Gorgeous, does not even begin to describe this song. A time trip for old souls, this "druidic" magic surely is our memory. Thank you so, so much.

  • Go far,far out to the desert at night.Away from the city light pollution.Lay on the ground and look into the starry night sky.THIS is what you will feel/hear.

  • ive been feending for a smoke for the last 3 hours pretty bad (just went cold turkey ) an 30 secs into this vid all that was gone

  • 2 stupid morans without a lifepath

  • the irish/celtic are the faeries. even their tongue makes me think of faery rings and foggy nights. mystical music plays while the trees and streams dance in the moonlight.

  • Who cares what colour your skin is. Beautiful music is beautiful music, regardless if it is played by black, white, brown , yellow or green with purple polka dots that beat back the Romans a 1,000 years ago.

    THis is beauiful music, and nothing else matters.

  • @kaemeleon wtf?

  • @kaemeleon wth?...are you talking about THIS language?..this is gaelic..as in irish...has nothing to do with rome and it has nothing to do with immigrants teaching your kid a different language o.O

    i don't know wth you're talking about and i'm sure i'm not the only one...

  • OMG I've been looking for this song for years! Litterally! Thanks for uploading! :')

  • Caisleáin Óir

  • I remember playing this camping in the dark in the middle of nowhere....awesome

  • awesome band, and i think she has one of the most haunting,beautiful voices i have heard

  • this was in the Robin Of Sherwood :-) The best Robin Hood series ever! :-)

  • i ám dreaming!!!

  • CLANNAD THE BEST! the one who disagree, i only can feel sorry for his or her bad taste hahah :) btw i also like the remix version of this song

  • This is the first track off the first album of Clannad music that I ever bought -- "Macalla". Needless to say, it has a way of getting you hooked on their music from out the gate. Always loved the album cover, too. Strange picture -- looks like she's about to pull her head up off her neck. There's that dark space under her chin and a dead look in her eyes that makes you think that she was successful. BizZar.

  • WHO is the idiot that Dislike this song? haha

  • @lisakirara

    Obviously not Irish !

  • @lisakirara I totally agree with you. I know this awesome song is sung in Irish Gaelic but

    I also wonder it could be sung in Hebrew too...

  • @yosti2007 Harp is symbol of Eire and king David so why not?

  • @yosti2007 I speak Hebrew, native speaker. I don't think it'll be as good as the Irish Gaelic version is.

  • @yosti2007 any song can be translated. this isi a style known as sean nos and yes it probably be sang in hebrew too... this is a a dialect of northern part of ireland which is differnt to southern irish. but it is irish langauge i am a teacher of the language..

  • dont ye just fuckin love clannad!

  • They used this in the Robin Hood series. Unfortunately, it was with the inferior Jason Connery.

    But the story had to do with living descendants of those preserving King Arthur's memory, and they played this song when he showed up in a visitation to find the new successor, and it made one's h air prickle.

  • Beautiful! So relaxing...

  • In 1985 I worked in Top 40 radio, and we would receive tons of LP's (remember them?) from record companies that we couldn't use, so sadly, they would get tossed. For some strange reason, one day I sat down beside the garbage can and started going through the "trash." Macalla was one LP I rescued, and from the first note of this song, I was hooked! Magical, all of Clannad's music.

  • Yes this song is "home.".... a footprint in the sand....a refuge....a connection deeper than that made with the fodder on reality tv or public television fundraisers or major dailies or....crap you name it

  • Definitely

  • I feel the grass under my feet and I can feel the wind on my face... I'm home once again

  • Wow, beautiful!

  • wow, welcome to my childhood :) It was a program on TV in USSR in 89 or 90... And in the beginning of that program always played this music :))))) I was fond of it really :)))

  • From the album "Macalla" , , , the following track "The Wild Cry" is just as good !

  • Agreed! The Wild Cry is hands-down my favorite song by Clannad. Can't explain why, it just takes me somewhere, and gives me a feeling of hope. It will all be all right after all, and any prison you're in, you'll be freed from...

  • Classic Clannad song. Beautiful. I'd love to know the Gaelic translation into English. I understand a few words only.

  • Is ther anywhere I can find sheet music for this? I can't find any under this name, perhaps there's another?

  • look in the Keltic section

  • The translation of Caisleann Oir is Golden Castle. Look under world music or Celtic.

  • this is an enchanting wedding song for when you are going down to the altar

  • very magical , mystical tune !!

    brilliant !!

  • felix is right, it's THE Clannad song

  • "Shiab buaireamh na mblianta na caisleáin óir soir is siar"- 'Caisleáin Óir'-Séamus ó Grianna

  • lovely song. My dad used to shut himself in the dining room and listen to clannad for hours. thanks for posting. Paul.

  • THEE Clannad song!

  • Friends of mine used this very same song for the bride coming down the aisle at her wedding.

    Magical!

  • So did I!! A truly mystical moment! My poor hub didn't know what to make of it. He was expecting something more traditional, I suppose. LOL I was happy with it.

  • Back in 1986 I was training to get into the Royal Marines and I spent a bit of time in the Brecon Beacons trying to get fit. I remember standing on a pitch dark track at midnight, looking at the black outline of Pen-y-Fan mountain against the night sky, whilst listening to this song on my mates car stereo.

    I'll never shake that image from my mind. It was one of those moments when you realise just how special being alive can be...

  • @Simes158 I do understand what you felt! It's amazing! It happened to me!

  • @Simes158 Wow! Those were beautiful words which make me think of beautiful pictures... They were nearly as beautiful as this song.

  • @LexSteeleWorld you must be pretty lonely to make an account posing as a black guy. You just need someone to talk to? maybe a conversation whether its trolling or not? Comeon guys help this guy out.

  • @LexSteeleWorld this language isn't extinct lol..it's just that not very many people speak it, only a handful do...it doesn't matter if it's in a different language or not anyway, it's beautiful music that some of us like so who cares.

  • Above us, star bright in the night-- there the silent sea and becalmed wind the silent sea asleep in the wind Below in the glen, the glen of mist; Kingdom of the Sun in the Castle of Gold-- there the silent sea and becalmed wind the silent sea asleep in the wind Spell-enthralled are those there; Bright lights in the Castle of Gold-- there the silent sea and becalmed wind The silent sea asleep in the wind
  • Thart orainn Reált geal san oíche Tá'n fharraige chiúin Agus suaimhneas sa ghaoth An fharraige chiúin Ina codladh sa ghaoth Thíos sa ghleann an ghleann an cheo Riocht na gréine i gCaisleán Óir Tá'n fharraige chiúin agus suaimhneas sa ghaoth An fharraige chiúin ina codladh sa ghaoth Driocht a mheall na daoine roinn Soilse geala i gCaisleán Óir Tá'n fharraige chiúin agus suaimhneas sa ghaoth An fharraige chiúin ina codladh sa ghaoth
  • I love this song! Thanks for posting it!!!!!!
