[1robinsong]

Look at her "coat of many colors!" Replete with the biblical fringes and tassels! I love it!

[Urgletizer]

Órós life is home Chorus Oh a welcom homex3 Now come the sumer Hail a woman was afflicted It was our ruin you for being incarcerated to hold districts like thieves are you selling the Gallaibh Chorus Grace OMalley is at the Baldoyle of salt She volunteers as an armed guard Speakers themselves are not foreigners than Spaniards it will chase on the road Chorus Thanks to King of Miracles to bhfeiceam mbeam not live after weeks apart Grace OMalley and a thousand warriors Announcing stray on the road

[Urgletizer]

This is the translation. It's a little confusing, I know.

[ssssingr]

I'm from Greece but this song speaks to my soul...

[zvessi]

I'm from Iceland...!.Can somone transelate this text fore me....! Plees...!

[CantwrCymreig]

@zvessi

Oh-ro You're welcome home [3x]

Now that summer's coming!

Welcome oh woman who was so afflicted,

It was our ruin that you were in bondage,

Our fine land in the possession of thieves...

And you sold to the foreigners!

Chorus

[CantwrCymreig]

@zvessi (second half) Gráinne O'Malley is coming over the sea, Armed warriors along with her as her guard, They are Irishmen, not French nor Spanish... And they will rout the foreigners! Chorus May it please the King of Miracles that we might see, Although we may live for a week once after, Gráinne Mhaol and a thousand warriors... Dispersing the foreigners! Chorus

[superpiaggioape]

away with Britt rules!!!!Give us back the 6 counties!!TAL

[RpOutOfTime]

Nice blend of reggae rythm and the old language - fits well.

[MrVampiredog]

WHEN I SEE HER . IAM PROUD IAM IRISH

[cranfordtart]

@MrVampiredog

When I see her I'am proud I'am not Irish lol.

[MrVampiredog]

@cranfordtart YOU TRASHY ENGLISHMAN. GET OUT OF IRELAND.

[MotionPictureMuse]

My favorite version of this song.

[MaeveQuig]

Just want to say that we do not speak Gaelic in Ireland people keep mixing this up with Gaeilge which is the irish for... Irish

[CosantoirArmach]

@MaeveQuig Actually, "Gaelic" is the English for both Gaeilge and Gàidhlig. Gaelg / Gailck too for that matter.

[Capt777harris]

@CosantoirArmach Very true.

[Pstroz2010]

Fada Éirinn beo agus muintir na hÉireann

[aerlingus18]

I don't mean to be a little dickhead,but I bet half of you don't know what she is actually saying,its a rebel song....

[MrCeltic1888]

@aerlingus18 theres a reason why we dont speak irish anymore. most anyway

[aerlingus18]

@MrCeltic1888 the reason most of us dont speak irish is because of the penal laws,the famine,oliver cromwell,and loads of other things kids nowadays just dont give a fuck

[belfastireland1]

Hey Sinead, love it when you sing in gaelic. This is such a great song and you do it better than anyone.

[OiNise]

I love this. I love the beauty of language and this is just remarkable.

[prettykiray]

absolutely amazing-nothing compares to you sinead

[atli1000]

I like the story this song tells. Would someone who speaks Gaeilge much better than I do please re-post the story of the warrior; she reminds me of Boudicca And Sin'ead is hot

[KatJaguar1122]

@atli1000 Explaination from Sinead's album Sean-Nos Nua..."for me this song celebrates the return of any woman to her power , having lost it to invading forces.. It is an honouring of the female warrior spirit and of the right of any woman to be true to themselves. it is a war song in honour of Grace O'Malley -aka Grainne Mhaol, a warrior woman of Ireland who defended the Irish coastline during the time of Elizabeth 1 and had a formidable force of ships ...

seo e an chéad uair ar thaitin an t-amhrán seo liom. Nothing compares to Sinéad O Connor, she inspired me sna hochtóií, agus go dtí anois. Go hiontach.  I love u , Sinéad

[Pstroz2010]

Although I'm not Irish, I always "feel welcome" when I'm over there.

[finchleyboyn2]

my mum used to sing this to me when i was little :)

[thecommentmonster]

i think most would agree she's a bit strange, but she's certainly talented and she does a great job singing in Gaelic. love this song!

[mesquiteguy1221]

I can honestly say that I've never really been much of a O connnor fan BUT her singing this song really stirs the soul and to watch her dance in the traditonal manner was really nice. I'm glad she grew her hair back. She looked better that way.

[Tonyjohnt]

She is beautiful! Anyone who can't see that is just a dick! I want that coat for my girlfriend.

[SNAZZYDOG]

thats why she dances lol

[SNAZZYDOG]

its a song about her native men coning home from battles/fields/sea

Welcome Home Irish to their own land and homes

Tiocfaidh arla

[PattiORorke]

Love the song and Sinead's voice and her principles.

[tigerscriber]

I've got some irish blood, but really i',m English and an Atheist and an Anarchist. I've no time for patriotism and flag waving, so on many levels I shouldn't respond to this song or the woman who sings it,. But I do, I sit weeping before it and her. I want to BATTLE even DIE for the cause. That's the power of the art. Homage to Sinead :-)

[sunnymoe21]

I love this song Sounds so much better in The Gaelic Makes me wish I wasnt lazy as a child and learned it.

[prettykiray]

i love you sinead!!!!

[mitx2122]

[Angus01ful]

Tha mi a'dannsa ag' eisdeachd oirre...Cho math 'son shin a'chuinnteil ...

[Charlie3884]

Sinead..you must come from heaven. Never been another singer or group that can move me like you do. You've done it again with this song. What else can I say...Magnificent...Brilliant.­..Exceptional...Outstanding...­Superb and Wonderful.

[snuffles1111]

VIVE LE PEUPLE CELTE

[TruthSetsY0uFree]

Why can't I find the reggae-celitc CD or DVD of this on the net? I know Sinead got this song on few of her CDs but unfortunitelly they aren't reggae-celic rythm but just celtic. Cany anyone ANYONE at all tell me where I can obtain this, it would be even better if it was live performance as here in this video,...who's the group on the instruments anyways(what are they called?) maybe that way I'll find it. Much thanks for response.

[larcebus]

An (imo) even better version of Oro, together with a lot of other heartbreakers, is on her album "Sean Nos Nua" - (got mine from, Amazon)

Hope that helps.

Éirinn go bráth.

[74posy]

Yes I have this album too ! it is excellent I play it a lot.

[oneinamilliongnr]

Wow! Sinead's still got it, that's for sure! I

didn't understand a word of this song but

hey, I love it!

[minicocomi]

j'adore cette chanteuse

[zinione]

We used to sing this in primary. We had great craic making up our own lyrics. Nice version. Slán.

[lizzyvolpe]

Fantastic I love when she sings in her native language.

[grayclock]

how care!

[grayclock]

i really like this girls.... we in bulgaria are realy close to this kind of music. if the girl try us, i think she can find really good reasons to make more music

[denmikewatkins]

She' s a Lion!

[PrayForJerusalem]

Where can I get this song or even whole album of this song in reggae-celtic rythm ?please anyone? I thank you in advance.

Sinead you are my 1 female singer forever!

[DALCOLDARA]

This song can be found on her Sean-Nos Nua album.She also released a reggae album Throw Down Your Arms in 2005.

[marisel76]

Hi! I love this song and I would like to know what is the story it tells. Any Irish who'd like helping?

I've been told it's a popular song for kids.

Thanks

[CheRevolution76]

It's actually a Scottish song, from the 2nd jacobite rebellion adopted by Irish Republicans. Although I'd imagine this version is the latter one penned by Padraig Pearse.

[marisel76]

thanx!

[69tomasito]

its about the sea queen of connaught one of the 4 proviences of ireland,grainne ni mhaille,in english grace o malley.wikipedi , oro sedo bheatha bhaile

[marisel76]

Thank you, I found Queen Grace O'Malley in wikipedia, seems they are making or they've already made a film, which was supposed to be released this year.

[bookkeeper57]

Like Sinead's hoodie.

[rgnolan20]

forgot to add from an irish man.

[rgnolan20]

sorry...wrong!!!

[myra2302]

I love it!!!!!!

[matlabxxx]

where could I find those background guitar chords?

[matlabxxx]

or is it piano, anyway I want to play it while my gf sings

[fizzgon]

She make all whit her SOUL ... she is perferct

[Cathain78]

Good grief, I hate these "fusion" type things.

Perfectly good song ruined :(

"Thou sold to the foreigners" as the words translate. Ironic really.

[nycbred92]

though i love reggae, rebel music and this song all to death you do make a very good point... well played sir

[stathead]

The meaning of the song is simple. It concerns the wars of 300 or so years ago and calls for the return of our rightful Catholic King James Second instead of the usurper William Third. Beatifully done regardless of sentiments.

[rockisdead25]

r u refering to the jacobite wars?

[CosantoirArmach]

Séamas a' cac?

Shitty James, who ran like a scalded dog from the Boyne and left our grandfathers to pay the price in blood and oppression?

Fuck James and the rest of the incompetent bigoted house of Stuart, and fuck the whole rotten crew of monarchist swine on every throne in Europe for that matter.

Mark me down in the column of proud republicans. The last noble can't be strangled with the guts of the last priest soon enough.

[franco96544]

@CosantoirArmach BRAVISSSIMO ! in case you need help, call me! I am not Irish ( I would like !!) but Ireland and Scotts, are always in my heart..love the people, the culture, the folk and mainly the touching music. When I retire I plan to lerne Gaelic old Irisch, ( Celtic. )

[7sevens7]

@franco96544 maybe you should "lerne" english first

[franco96544]

@7sevens7 may be....è meglio che te ne vai all'nfermo, arrogante inglese del cazzo..non hai capito niente e hai solo merda nel cuore e nella testa

[alxazazel]

This one version, no. This one speaks of the irish queen Gráinne Mhaol/Grace O'Malley!

[bookkeeper57]

This song dates from the Jacobite revolt: so if Grainne ni Mhaol (aka: lady pirate

Grace O Malley) was active then, maybe it does.

[butercup553]

I like it, but I really wanna know what is about?

[akirasmithkavoljev]

beautiful sound, beautiful sight

[muhlange]

noi idea wats it about but liking it!

[meadowmaiden]

this is so sweet, celtic reggae. I love it!

[mairenidhomnaill]

go gurl....the gaelteacht  arann mor....yoo chucky chick xx

[kcnccarolina]

She has the spirit of her ancestors, it comes through her singing. Get chills when i hear this. She's a natural. A person is loved whether they are pink, green, blonde, no hair, etc. It's the person we all love & i love Sinead, she is genuine!

[osioda]

This is superb.....5 stars...

[weewego]

what language is this?

[ChiChiChihuahua2007]

Irish-Gaelic

Shame I only know a very little

Sinead x ( yes I am a Sinead too )

[bookkeeper57]

I hope I don't upset any die hard Sinead fans when I say I think she looks better with hair. Tiny woman with big amazing voice.

[luminita51]

Absolutely fantastic singer, an incredible voice and an astonishing personality !

Thank you so much!

[limerick321]

great version,great song

[junbco]

creo que es bueno que los irlandeses recuperen su lengua como en catalunya visca els pobles lliures

[MartinaBC1963]

What a fantastic version of that song! :-)

[Roergue]

I meant : I'm not chauvinistic !

[Roergue]

Irish music and songs are probably the most beautiful ones in the world. And I'm chauvinistic : I'm French.

[logan1776]

you mean "biased" slan

[Roergue]

Thanks for teaching me ! Biased or prejudiced, partial. In French : biaisé.

[Pay4MyDryCleanin]

Beautiful song. Awesome coat,but I wouldnt wear it,can't rock it like her,ahha.

[sis2fngpkr]

This poor lady suffers from fibromyalgia.

The pain and fatigue are enough alone....now she must hear comments about a full face! I know from experience that medicine can cause that. I love her voice. That's what she does....sings.

[Chucker2K]

Sinead O'Connor's was born Dec. 8 1966. She is 42.

[iriswigle]

1967 Sinead O'Connor was badly beaten and she shaved her head 1970 to show the ax marks. She went back to the USA for a visit and hired an orchestra and did the Orso s e do bheatha bhale song over and over again, and over and over again, and over and over again. She was trying to find her voice. She couldn't speak. She could only sing. She didn't want to sing English, nor Canadian nor American...she placed herself far away into Ireland. Billy Crystal was with the orchestra & it drove him crazy.

[RockinSockies]

Are you sure you got the dates right?

[iriswigle]

Sinead was arrested after she tore up Pope Paul's photo because of a clash after the Pope refused to disfellowship a priest that was involved in assaults on nuns and on Sinead personally. THAT arrest started in 1967 and was repeated every year up to 1970 and a cameraman showed her in a jail cell publicly in 1967 68. 69, and 70 which would make her in her early twenties. Maybe I'll look up old newspapers in the UK. A priest went on England's telly to denounce her pre Kate Bush appearnace rite?

[pyroanie]

so she was a year old when she was arrested? That's a pretty good record.

[Ealasaid17]

I think Sinead wasn't born until 1968 :)

[Vanamari]

she was born in 1966, so i think your year is wrong. can you post a link to wear you found this info? so far i'm getting that it's just a trademark look of hers.

[Magda260384]

great!!

[pinacoladathe5th]

a master of fusion!! (the song, i do recognise sinéad to be a female) ;p

[Grimulf82]

Can someone tell me where the Nuit Celtique Festival is? And if it is every year?

Thaks a lot!

[bichopard]

in Paris, at the st Patrick

[Grimulf82]

Thanks a lot, dude!

[bichopard]

Please tell me the meaning of " dude" I suppose it's not a word of hate. I'm just french and there are many expressions missing.

[Grimulf82]

dude its like mate or friend. Thats the meaning i know.

[bichopard]

i find the signifignation of this word. it's a pretty slang " pote " in french.

thanks a lot. loic

[skladanowski]

And the word 'dude' comes from Calafonia. Most people hope it will stay there, too.

[chickabeeps]

Allow me to propound:

"Dude" is an American term that originally was meant to refer to the discarded testicles (balls) of a gelded stallion. Californians in the surfing culture borrowed the term to mean "friend" in a masculine sense of the word.

[theRod1995]

Dude est l'anglais pour amis

[bichopard]

merci. Mais j' ai trouvé le mot " pote " qui me semble être plus proche .

[BAD333HERO]

you ass

you don't hold a candle to that woman

[Jarmush666]

You are wrong, I want her. She's cool RASPIZDYAIKA with amazing voice! I do not know how to translate "raspizdyaika" into English, brothers Slavs will understand me.

[pourquoi45]

well, i would be careful about these words if i were you

[mickyk200]

Reggae civil war song...I'll not be thinkin' it...woeful

[stevegt1111]

true true

[chrometanned]

Great singer, beautiful woman.... terrible fashion sense :o)

[vonniep07]

LOL

[Matchlessoul]

Sinead, A True Protest Singer like the other greats before her i.e. Miss Buffy St. Marie, Her heart, as Big as Heaven itself and God knows the heart of Sinead and Loves her So Very much. She sees wrong and sings her heart out. ringing the bells of truth in her eyes through her voice. Sinead, My love upon the paths you tread and upon all your wanderings Peace...

[NRamirezCR]

Nice sound! I love celtic fusion, I love the roots!!! Buenisimo!!! 5/5

[stathead]

It is saying how welcome he is in Ireland. Perhaps he would like to sleep awhile?

[stathead]

This song is about our defeated Catholic King James 2. 300 years old.

[ipugyou]

she seems like a reactionist...someone who doesnt really know what she is talking about...but one who is passionate and will latch on to any cause

[robdamiano76]

i dont think you are right

[mhicnanolc]

Suas e! Alba agus Erin gu brath!

[Malavern]

Hmm sounds like reggae.. lol

[mhicnanolc]

I think she arranged it that way, though I don't think uilleann pipes are very common in the Caribbean! :)

[Malavern]

true true...

[craicon5]

hello

[kikernice]

I love Irish people , they`re great.

[caoimhinomaolain]

I've been lookin for this song for feckin ages! Dia wishes I could speak bloody Gaeilge, but so glad to have found it without gods divine intervention! I love this song LOADS!!

[vonniep07]

Wow I just love this woman, she is brilliant, thanks for posting.

[kcnccarolina]

OK someone help me here, is the Celtic language the same as Gaelic? (as in Enya singing her Irish Gaelic?) is it the same? It sounds the same.

[midnightoil1]

Well basically the Celts originated on mainland Europe. They spread out as far as England and Ireland. The Romans came to England and claimed the land, but only as far as Scotland. They never got to Ireland either. So this is a very old Celtic language. There are many variations of the Celtic language throughtout Europe, and Gaelic is a Celtic language in Ireland and Scotland. There are a few differences between Scots Gael and Irish Gael, they are similar.

[namthebest]

And so as to Brittany's language in the western part of france, Breton (Brezhoneg) is a Celtic language spoken by some of the inhabitants of (Breizh/Bretagne) in France.

[blether12]

Don't start me on P Celtic and Q Celtic! The ceathair and the pedwar. Just to confuse.

[ap15ap15]

great video and song. Can anyone please give me a translation of the chorus into English? thanks

[midnightoil1]

(Chorus) Oh-ro You're welcome home, Oh-ro You're welcome home, Oh-ro You're welcome home... Now that summer's coming! Welcome oh woman who was so afflicted, It was our ruin that you were in bondage, Our fine land in the possession of thieves... And you sold to the foreigners! Grainne Mhaolis coming over the sea, Armed warriors along with her as her guard, They are Irishmen, not foreigners nor Spanish...

[ap15ap15]

very interesting, many thanks for your reply

[midnightoil1]

And they will rout the foreigners!

May it please the God of Miracles that we may see,

Although we only live a week after it,

Grainne Mhaol and a thousand warriors...

Dispersing the foreigners!

[ap15ap15]

very interesting, many thanks for your reply

[wewillsee83]

sinead ur magic, im livin in engerland, listen to this song everytime i cum home drunk! great job!!!

[mcbarron23]

padriag pearse

[siriusrex]

This song was written by Padraig Mac Piarais.one of the 16 leaders of an uprising against English rule in Ireland in 1916.They made their last stand in Dublin.He was executed by the English in 1916.The song tells the Irish not to give up the fight against English tyrany.

[Catholic777]

The Song was an old Jacobite tune, but only had what is now the first verse and the chorus. Pearse wrote the rest.
