This evening while surfing around Youtube I discovered this little performance by Sinead O’Connor. How can I describe what went through my mind listening to this song. She’s singing in Gaelic, a language as indecipherable as any I’ve heard, and yet this song touches my heart. There are several versions on youtube from a number of performers. Curious to know what the title, Óró ‘s é do bheatha ‘bhaile, meant I put it through Google’s translator.
Óró ‘s é do bheatha ‘bhaile.
Oh You’re Welcome Home!
Wikipedia has an excellent write up about this song with original lyrics here.
