- IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW THIS SONG
I know it's a bit... unconventional (and the quality is poor), but it's Ireland's favourite Christmas song, probably ever!
The original masterpiece by The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl is literally a classic.
Original song: • The Pogues - Fairytal...
Performed in Irish by Fred McCluskey, Ger Maher & Ailbhe Hession for TG4
*Holiday cheer intensifies*
Thank you for making these videos. Because of them, not only have I been introduced to a lot of amazing music, but I also have become interested in learning Gaeilge! Go raibh míle maith agat!
Dia duit!! Conas atá tú?
@@pandoratonks4429 Apparently he didn’t know Gaeilge to answer your question but he did know the proper word for the Irish language
It sounds amazing in Gaeilge! Go raibh maith agat!

@@Samantha.spirit I was 10 when I commented this just ignore it 😂 I wasn’t actually drunk
@@DJCM21 lmao
Listen to this like every Christmas
Nostalgic
Don't mind me learning how to swear as Gaeilge-
My Gaelic speaking grandparents left the Highlands and arrived in Manhattan about 1920. They were in love but they were in service to the Laird of Butte , who forbid them to forbid to marry. So, Donald and Eileen left their employ and sailed for the new world. This song makes me think of the difficulties they must have endured when two naive Gaelic speaking newlyweds arrived in the harsh bustling city streets of New York.
Thanks for your touching, personal story. Irish, the appearance of the Pogues original version coincided with my first visit to my paternal relations in NY/NJ whose, predecessors had emigrated to the US in successive generations from the mid-19th Century to the 1920's. Thus my own attachment to this song. Being sung in Irish - to me, as a lifelong Gaelgeóir, is an added bonus. PS Having been exposed quite a bit to Ulster Irish, my Irish has the same origins as your grandparents; google "Kingdom of Dal Ríada" - a kingdom that encompassed east Ulster and Western Scotland. Mar sin Leibh! ('Bye - as your grandparents have said it ("sin" pronounced "shin" - as in Sinn Féin, but we won't to there.
That sounds like the plot to a very good book, its a lovely story
Its not called gaelic its called irish.
The irish word for irish is gaeilge.
Gaelic is an irish sport
@@badlandschugsvlogswouldbes9663 They said Highlands, so maybe they're on about Scotland ??
@@Howling_Ghosts maybe
How beautiful
Sláinté chara,go raibh mhaith agat, nollaig shona duit,
Thank you for making these video
From the description this sounds cool. I can’t listen to it right now sadly though maybe later I will. And 🙌🏾 I’m kind of here early for the first time.
I start singing the English version: night’s getting good.
I start singing the Gaelic version (I don’t speak Gaelic): time to go to bed, and anybody who doesn’t let me is braver than I’ll ever be.
Awesome!
🎄❄✨ I love it 🎄❄✨ Happy New year 2019 dear M. Máire !
thank you so much Mary Chris ♡ Athbhliain faoi mhaise duitse freisin!
Brilliant
leagan an mhaith de classic a mhairfidh i bhfad - oireann an ghaelig do na mothucháin san amhrán. Maith sibh agus míle buíochas!
These lyrics are more-wholesome than the original, lol. I like it.
❤
So much more beautiful in Irish
Fabulous!! Where can I get this? Canʻt seem to find it on iTunes.
Tà an leagan sin go hiontach gan dabht. GRMMA. Nollaig shona daoibh.
múineann físeáin den chineál seo an teanga is fearr! Go raibh maith agat ceol gaeilge!
Nollaig Shona duit
!
Ar fheabhas! :D
Tá sé go hiontach
Plus there's no swear words in Gaeilge
Go raibh maith agat
Hi it’s April rn

Shane MacGowan go raibh a anam ar dheis Dé
Go raibh maith
Honestly, I dislike Irish parodies, but that translation of the insults part was absolutely amazing
but this isn't a parody, simply a translation
Is féidir liom ag labhart i nGaeilge féin agus mo chroí istig é 🎉 bouíchas le dhia chomh maith
Suimiúil agus difriuil
*enjoying the irish language* ☺
*sees the american comments* 😰
What's wrong with Americans commenting here??
This is about Irish Americans 😂
I agree with the description - the quality is poor. I prefer some of their other songs, because this one was not sung well enough. We know you can do better!
Nevertheless, may God bless you!
I don’t think you get it!
These are not the proper lyrics they dont say most of these lyrics in the real one
Because if you translate something to irish its not literal or its very wrong and also the words have to fit the song id imagine its not too easy to do
@@alicecollins776 and with most Languages same sentences may tirn into one word from english to that language so it would not fit the song to well
As much as I want to learn Irish-Gael, you butchered it like the Shankill. FFS Leave a good old song alone...
