Lyrics:

Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom

I wish I were on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill,
'Til every tear would turn a mill,
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán.

Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán.

I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel,
I'll sell my only spinning wheel,
To buy my love a sword of steel.

Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán.
Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom

Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán.
I wish, I wish, I wish in-vain
I wish I had my heart again
And vainly think I'd not complain

Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán
Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán.



Translation:


Go, go, go, my love
Go quietly and go peacefully
Go to the door and fly with me
And may you go safely, my darling

Oh yes, another beautifully sung Irish song 😍 "Mo ghille mear" would be so awesome!

[norafromash]

The epidemic of dying languages hurts me to my core. It is so important to save these unique languages from going extinct, and it is very very worrying that a language like Irish, which was once so prolific, has gone in that direction.

[artimex]

Everytime I listen to traditional Irish songs, I feel patriotism towards the country, even though I have nothing to do with it. Such an amazing and rich culture.

[amonrawya]

I'm a Scottish Gaelic speaker and I always enjoy listening to Irish because it's just close enough for me to understand but distant enough for the difference in pronunciation to make my head spin 😂 this is beautiful! Deagh ghuth a th' agad!

[GentrifiedPotato]

Your singing is a warm balm in these uncertain times. Thank you for putting such beauty into the world.

[LucionFrostBurn]

Irish is such an under-represented language and it's always a treat to hear it. Thanks for this. ❤

[Justin_Rose]

I used to listen to the Celtic Woman version of this song all the time in High School. This version carries something altogether different and quite beautiful. I love your inflection in it. Kind of an aching in your voice.
I think this might be my favorite version of this song.

[LeahLovesNature]

I don't speak a word of Irish, but your voice and the instruments hit me right in the soul. This is just what I needed today. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

[HazelLord-ypyh]

Wow..I listened to this today and my life has been changed for the better! Hearing our native language always makes me tear up...sending much peace to you and your family. May god bless you - a mother of 2 bold kids!!! 😉😉🤍😂

[NathanielTavington]

I remember teaching myself this song when I was a kid in the 90s, early 2000s. Obsessed with Riverdance and Celtic Woman. Absolute joy to hear one of my favorite trad songs in your Very Handsome voice. Thank you for the smile today, I very much needed it.

[Matts-Edge]

Mo Ghille Mear, or The Rising of The Moon would both be super cool to hear you do!! God Bless :)

[BoB]

Great performance Colm's voice really shines in this, he's a class act,

[charmanderlover]

I really needed this today. The past week has been pretty rough and the first and third verses really hit me. My dog and best friend of nearly 12 years had to be put down last Thursday. And I'm away at college, so I didn't get to say goodbye... and I've just been struggling to cope with the fact that the one friend I could count on always being there for me for the majority of my childhood is now gone. Your music has been a warm soothing hug to my broken heart and has helped soothe me to sleep during restless nights. I know there's a lot of comments on here, so I don't know if you'll see this one, but I really just wanted to thank you for this beautiful cover, and for all of your music. It means a lot to me and countless others as well, I'm sure. ❤

Just came here from a woman singing this above a Queens subway that was incredible. The weird part is, my great grandfather came to America after Easter Rising to Queens, NYC. It’s wild to think my great grandpa took those subways to work. It’s weird to think, 100-something years later, a woman is singing a song above those subways he took, a song he probably heard at some point. Time is weird man.

[kaeldrarhiannon]

I absolutely adore your traditional Irish songs. Please do more!!!

[dramallamarama]

Lovely rendition, this is my favourite Irish song next to Dúlaman

[diegoborges]

Having first heard this song by Celtic Woman, I never thought a rock version of it would sound this good. But then again, you never cease to impress. Bravo.

[danisaur]

I don't understand Irish at all, but every time i hear Colm sing an irish song i feel the need to learn it. it just sounds so beautiful

[theimaginatrix]

_DAMN IT COLM U MADE ME CRY._

That's a compliment, I promise. And the timing of this release is ... quite apt.
