As an Irishman it is hearth warming to hear this song from a band from Scotland, it is an a acknowledgement that things happened that should not have happened, hopefully we can overcome the division that has been caused and once again see the bigger picture.
Eilean Eirinn,Uabhasach breagha Agus nan daoine, Something else had some great memories! Enya brennan, Daniel o Donnel Agus Tommy mackam Agus ar Runrig eader Erinn Agus alba an sruth na maoile,ach aon daoine an diugh! Oran math a rithist!
I was in Dublin for a vacation week in June 2015. I didn't want to leave. Travelling to Ireland was a lifelong dream of me... I hope I can come back there one Day. 😘🤘🇮🇪🏴
Eirinn (Ireland) What makes me walk through Ireland's shrines And Ireland's holy shores To see a country crucified Your beauty crowned in thorns And as I watch that wondrous cross That's been hewn down and severed in two There's something here That draws me near To wear the green for you To see you there blood brother Gael The face, the tongue my own Many places in my own country Could not make me feel more at home Laughter and music through the night Your freedom in the dark Tonight I swear I'd gladly wear The green next to my heart From the long and rolling Antrim hills Through the wilds of Donegal The songs of history are sung Every stone on every wall But here in our land how can we stand And wash our hands of shame When the sins of generations fall Across the green like rain Here one world window opens wide And demons they show face Some of your men have taken seeds of truth And planted fields of hate This way has never won a war And I fear that when the harvest comes You'll see your freedom fall on stony ground And the green overgrown
OMG thank you. Beautiful lyrics. As someone who is Irish also with Scottish ancestory I Iove this song by Runrig. What an amazing band Runrig was loved their music.
great band. and singin abt dear ould Ireland. a luv Runrig and a luv Scotland. A jst wish we could get rid ae this scourge ae sectarianism fae oor beautiful country
My ancestors were from the Highlands, "Stuarts". I had the opportunity to visit Kinloss and Inverness back in 1977.. it was a trip I'll never forget.. like no other Country I've ever visited.
Of course we do lad! we appreciate Scottish Humor Music and how ye have mastered the english language like we did and made it your property and tool to say what you want about our peoples! we are neighbours cousins !
Runrig's just not the same band, without Donnie. I don't think Bruce fits so well to sound of the Runrig, that I like. Not that he is'nt a great singer! He is!
Being half welsh and half irish, I've always thought Run Rig of all the celtic bands were the tops. God bless you all in Alba x

Such a beautiful song 🏴
Eirinn (Ireland) What makes me walk through Ireland's shrines
And Ireland's holy shores
To see a country crucified
Your beauty crowned in thorns
And as I watch that wondrous cross
That's been hewn down and severed in two
There's something here
That draws me near
To wear the green for you
To see you there blood brother Gael
The face, the tongue my own
Many places in my own country
Could not make me feel more at home
Laughter and music through the night
Your freedom in the dark
Tonight I swear I'd gladly wear
The green next to my heart
From the long and rolling Antrim hills
Through the wilds of Donegal
The songs of history are sung
Every stone on every wall
But here in our land how can we stand
And wash our hands of shame
When the sins of generations fall
Across the green like rain
Here one world window opens wide
And demons they show face
Some of your men have taken seeds of truth
And planted fields of hate
This way has never won a war
And I fear that when the harvest comes
You'll see your freedom fall on stony ground
And the green overgrown
