'Africa' le Toto as Gaeilge

Bogha ceatha & múiríl báistí istigh sa bpuball.
Bhí an-taidhm ag cór chúrsa C agus muid ag déanamh an fhíseán seo.

Liricí:

Ceol na dtonn a’ bulaladh trom anocht
Ní chloiseann sí ach cogarnáil ‘s sioscadh cainte scaoilte
Eitilt isteach ar leath uair théis a hocht
Geallach gheal a’ lonrú síos, á treoradh chuig ceann scríbe
D’iarr comhairle ar sheanfhear siúil na slí
Mé ‘g iarra’ briathra cabhrach cneasta aniar ón am a bhí
‘Sé dúirt sé liom le súile glé –
Breathnaigh a Mhac- sé ansin os comhair d’aghaidh

Is fada liom an lá go mbeidh tú a’am go deo
Níl tada a bhféadfá rá a choinneos uaim mo ghá níos mó
Bogha ceatha sa spéir fud na hAifrice
Goile uait anois a’ déana’ rudaí nach raibh a’ainn

Cú allta a’ glaoch go mall san oí’
Iad uaigneach brónach fada leo roinnt sóláis ‘s ardú meanamna
Tá ‘s a’am go gcaithfear cloí lem’ chroí,
Mar ‘ bheadh Kilimanjaro ‘g éirí nós Olympus tharis an Serengeti
Ag iarra’ lochtanna a leigheas,
Faitíos orm romham fhéin a’ ghoil ar aghaidh

Is fada liom an lá go mbeidh tú a’am go deo
Níl tada a bhféadfá rá a choinneos uaim mo ghá níos mó
Bogha ceatha sa spéir fud na hAifrice
Goile uait anois a’ déana’ rudaí nach raibh a’ainn

Bogha ceatha sa spéir fud na hAifrice
Goile uait anois a’ déana’ rudaí nach raibh a’ainn

The rain and thunder effects at the beginning are amazing!

[DougthebearRichards]

As am older man, all I can say is "God bless these wonderful young people".

[celt]

As someone who can speak Irish, very proud to see such a young group of performers sing such a classic..as gaelige

[cianofarrell]

Give the person whoever recorded/produced the bass a medal.

I am a Canadian who lived in Ireland for a year and fell in love. With the country, with the people, and with the language (of which unfortunatly I learned very little, aside from "conas atá tú"). These music videos give my goosebumps every time. I have spent many hours listening to different songs that have been featured here. Not only is there such an extrordinary amount of musical talent, but there is a fervant determination to keep this beautiful language alive and thriving.

[seamusomallie]

This is one the best advertising for the Irish Language .Go raibh mile maith agat

[GarrettRodriguez]

Not many remakes trump the original…but this is one of them. Well done!

[mrbokke]

As a White South African living in Ireland, this gave me goosebumps, awesome!

[karlchristian]

One of the most stunning versions of a song I have ever heard. Amazing

[sophiababystone]

I am Africa, my Irish boss just introduced me to this song and i can't stop listening even though i don't understand the language. I am happy when people keep their culture and language, your ancestor will be proud 👏 of you

[Backoffboogaloo]

I love the build into the first big chorus. I get goosebumps every time I listen to it. Kudos to the person playing bass too. A very nice job. The rain and thunder at the beginning is amazing too.

[princesspeach]

Bhí sé seo go hálainn :') Bhí meangadh orm an t-am go léir ag éisteacht leis agus ag féachaint ar stiúideo ildaite. Agus bhí an "baisteach" ag an dtús an chliste! Seo an físeán ab fhearr a rinne sibh go dtí seo, gan dabht. Táim comh bródúil go mbeidh sé feicthe ag daoine ar fud an domhain. Maith sibh! 💚🍀

[annwarman]

I never tire of this. Whenever I'm in a bad mood, this never fails to change it. Their enthusiasm shines through and lifts you up. Doesn't matter whether you speak Gaelic or not.

[kevs]

What a great incentive for young people to learn Irish. Makes me wish I had spent more time learning the language when I was in school.

[alarmerads]

Deeply moved to tears falling like raindrops

[garyd]

My kid is defo going here. This is what it is to be an Irish kid

[kqgpvdf]

Aside from this being a beautiful performance, the Irish language is so musical and melodic, it further enhances the performance.

[miketalley]

Through the years, I keep coming back to listen to this again and again!

[BostonLiveMusic]

These kids are having way too much fun doing this song! What an amazing job. Using music as a means to teach young people to speak Gaeilge is an excellent idea, I'm an Irish-American (1st generation) but I don't understand the language (yet). It is a beautiful language and I love listening to these video's - please keep them coming. Well done!

[benanderson]

Gaelic (either Irish or Scottish) is one of the most beautiful languages in the world and I will die on that hill.
