I first heard this tune many years ago when the movie Barry Lyndon was first released. The Chieftains played it as part of the sound track and it has remained my very favorite Irish song since. So beautiful ...
"Mná na hÉireann" is a poem written by Ulster poet Peadar Ó Doirnín (1704-1796), but you're correct it is most famous as a song, especially set to an air composed by Seán Ó Riada (1931-1971)
I'm pretty good at languages, of long and deep Irish ancestry but Irish has to be one of the most difficult languages I've ever attempted to learn. My view is that you have to begin young, and be in a place where it's pretty much constantly being spoken.
Michael Crowe Are you a native speaker of Irish, or did you study it in a classroom setting? I took particular note of your surname - I have some very close friends that also bear the name. Is it considered an Irish name in Ireland itself?
Really enjoyed another song of like some time ago. Followed the lyrics in the video to those listed, they are inconsistent with her singing. Not complaining at all, just an observation.
I love this song and this singer. However, I’d like to hear a man sing this for a change. There used to be one on YT years ago, but it’s since been removed. There is of course Séan O Sé’s beautiful version from the 70s (I think), but there should be other males. …

It helps to be surrounded by it or learning it when you’re young. The Duolingo app is quiet helpful
I have been told once that the Irish language is harder to learn from the English tongue than the Chinese language.
@@hughneek12 That is correct.
Please tell me that singer's name! That was unbelievable. She is Ireland 👏👏👏❤

Is she related to Na Casaidigh?
Yes indeed Sibeal Ni Chasaide
