@@NiennaFan1 I think it makes perfect sense. If a guy is walking around the hills with his goats and notices one needs to be milked and the local piper is out of a day blowing away. It seems like a normal day walking in a small rural village.
@@thunorwodenson I thought this was a nonsense song where the - like Hug Air A Bhonaid Mhoir! They talk in the description about a kind of song where the lyrics don't have to make sense and are a bunch of short songs mashed together sometimes. I thought this was a song like that where it isn't supposed to make sense.
Such a lovely rendition of a lovely song. I've spent far too much time tending goats and sheep in my life. I "Herd" this (see what I did there?) about a year ago and forgot to hit like. I'm so sorry, I wish I could give 100 likes. Can't get the melody out of my mind. Feeding the goats, humming it. Rounding them into the pen, Humming it. All gods bless the performers and all who love this song and never turn yer back on an angry goat ;)
This sort of thing- I think they're called mouth songs, or that's what the Scottish (Gaelic) mouth song on her channel is called - is the predecessor to Bill Wurtz and the meme.
@@thunorwodenson Oh, okay - I thought mouth music meant song that doesn't make sense, not song that has nonsense syllables - but this is a nonsense song that isnt' supposed to make sense even though it has real words, what's that called? That's what I was saying was the predecessor to Bill Wurtz and the meme
Irish and Scottish Gaelic have many sounds that don’t work with the Latin script they have much more sounds in their languages than Latin Irish and Scottish also have many spelling and pronunciation rules based on context or structure of the sentence they also have things called “w slide” and “y slide” where after many constants they have a w or y sound they use vowels to show this they also have two different sounds constants make so the letter L for example could make a darker sounding l or lighter sounding l based on the vowels surrounding the letter this happens with almost all constants
I wouldn't know where to start, I'm sorry! In fact apart from the words "Tír na nÓg" there is no Irish in the lyrics. It's probably a phonetic transcription of Quenya or Sindarin (or whatever language Oonagh usually sings in!)
M. Máire Ní Shúilleabháin So I did some digging and apparently Oonagh sings in Elvish, as in Tolkien Elvish which is pretty awesome. I just thought I’d tell you.
Sounds so familiar to me. I can feel the rhythm and motions of the sea in the rhythm of the song, just like in traditional Portuguese music.
the rhythm actually kinda reminds me of httyd soundtrack lol
This kind of sounds sad, but it’s just someone complaining about their goats. I love ireland.
Also I love the sound of the word “Scaoilean”. 0:25

@@NiennaFan1 Could well be. The singer said its kind of a nonsense song. I dont know of any such genre.

This song makes me so happy,tnx 😊
I love it! Once again, another amazing lyric video! Keep up the great work!!
This song makes me so happy... goats... so sweet ^_^
Your yhe best Nell! Love it!
She sounds just like a schoolgirl, and yet her sean-nós is so firm and haunting! I love it!!!
(Even if her thick Munster accent here is killing me 😂)
Back-handed compliment if ever there were.
Does Nell have an accent? I genuinely never noticed lol. I guess I am from Munster though...
At least it's not an Ulster accent lol
Níor chuala an amhrán sin ar bith ach is gceann níos áile gur chuala mé ríomh. Grma
This is solo cute!! I love it!!
Is this an original song from her or is it a folk song? :) Lovely video as always
It's traditional folk song often taught to primary school children :)
I've heard sung before by Micho Russell. Its on his Whistling Ambassador album. Micho says its a song for children.
Hermoso simplemente hermoso
Song makes no sense but it’s lovely to listen to
Hi Jack! Guess who it is?

I don't understand how any of those words are pronounced the way they are, but it sounds nice
You mean you don't understand how any of these words are spelled the way they are

This totally sounds like For the Dancing and the Dreaming from HTTYD2
Fun fact: it was a traditional torkish song from the late 2497-2689
@@ayyuh2200 Really? Interesting!
Can you do a translation for Celtic Woman’s Tir na nOg?
