Favourite Song As Gaeilge

corcaioch · 2009-03-16 09:04:40

As it's Seachtain na Gaeilge and one of the GAA's primary objectives was the promotion of the language what is everyone's favourite song 'as Gaeilge'? My favourite current one is Ceol-Tec's new one- a fusion of trad and dance. Anyone know if TG4 are making a new series of Deis Roc? Really enjoyed that show when it was on.

Well i'd have to say Amhrán na bhFiann. It is one of the most stirring national anthems in the world. Best heard in Croke Park on All-Ireland final day.

Óró, Sé do Bheatha 'Bhaile is a good one too.

Heroes and Ghosts is pretty cool for a more modern Irish song:

The anthem on All-Ireland final is so much better when they just let the crowd sing it rather than some high-filluting singing who no one can sing with. Crowd alone is special, lifts hairs on the back of the neck.

Seachas sin, Peigin Litir Mor, Oro, Se do Bheatha Bhaile, Meicsico (Mundy) agus Cathair Mhor Chicago.

That high-filluting bullsh!t is a sickener all right. Why not just let the crowd sing along ? Stupid ( but unfortunately true to form of the "Association")

I was listening to Radió Rí-Rá the other day and I was certain that I heard a version of the Smashing Pumpkins 1979 as Gaeilge. I heard it again the next day, anyone know anything about this?
