Okay background to tir na nóg because some people aren’t Irish and don’t know the folklore There was once an Irish prince named Oisin, he knew of the legend of tir na nóg where you would never age and there was a beautiful princess called Niamh but that’s just a legend right? Oisin was out hunting with a few nobles and then one of them accidentally shot him in the back with a bow. The nobles discussed what to do and decided to leave him for dead. Oisin had lost all hope and had accepted he was going to die, he then heard the sounds of hooves, he opened his eyes and there was a beautiful woman, more beautiful than you could ever imagine, she hoisted him onto her horse ( without getting off btw) Oisin awoke in a palace in the middle of the forest which he later learned was called tir na nóg. The woman who had saved him was princess Niamh. Over a few months Niamh and Oisin drew closer and got married. After what seemed like a few years Oisin wanted to say goodbye to his father, he asked Niamh if he could borrow her horse her being the perfect wife she agreed, but gave him a warning not to get off it under any circumstances. Oisin made his way to his fathers castle, upon arrival all he could find were ruins of a castle. Oisin made his way back to tir na nóg but on his way back was an elderly man who’s leg was caught under a heavy stone Oisin, who had forgotten about Niamhs warning got off the horse to help the old man, he lifted the bolder with ease, although a few seconds later Oisin had turned into an old man, older than the man he had helped ( who was pretty old) before a minute had passed since he got off the horse Oisin had died of old age. Legend has it that Niamh is still waiting in tir na nóg for Oisin to return. ( if you want to hear any more Irish folklore like this just ask me I will be happy to tell them)

When you're neither Scottish, Celtic, Gaelic, or Irish and yet their music is the only thing that calls to you, it really feels like magic.

No matter the line up of Celtic Woman, every one of them has a beautiful voice. It would be very hard if not impossible to name the very best line up.

I had no idea this song existed, even though my mom loves Celtic Woman. my mom named me Tierney after Tir na nÓg, and she got it from a celtic baby name book. This song is unbelievably beautiful, and she’ll be so excited to hear it.

That's how I imagined celtic music when I was a kid... a lot of people dancing in the forest with green clothes, fairytales, fireflies and goblins around a fire. Nice video!

As an Irish person, it makes my heart swell with joy to see music like this so well received by such a wide and varied audience. Truly a beautiful piece, and I'm glad others feel the same!

Celtic Woman need to represent Ireland in Eurovision, 12 points from everyone!

遠い国、日本で聴いています。言葉は分からないけれど、雰囲気だけでも心が満たされます。 その歌声、表情、曲、癒されます。

My grandmother would tell me this story before going to bed. It was honestly one of my favorite stories as a kid. Now I'm telling it to my daughter.

Teacher: Ok class today we’re going to the forest. The Boys: We could totally airsoft here. The Girls:

Lyrics, if anyone is as clueless as I was : Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Saeta-Ceatia nuige Tír na nÓg Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Nuige, Tír na nÓg Come my love our worlds would part The gods will guide us across the dark Come with me and be mine my love Stay and break my heart From the shores through the ancient mist You bear the mark of my elven kiss Clear the way, I will take you home To eternal bliss Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Saeta-Ceatia nuige Tír na nÓg Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Nuige, Tír na nÓg Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Saeta-Ceatia nuige Tír na nÓg Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Nuige, Tír na nÓg Tír na nÓg, oh, come beyond the ancient fog Tír na nÓg, oh, come with me to Tír na nÓg Far away from the land you knew The dawn of day reaches out to you Though it feels like a fairy tale All of this is true Run with me, have a look around We built our life over sacred ground Come my love, our world's may part We'll be safe and sound Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Saeta-Ceatia nuige Tír na nÓg Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Nuige, Tír na nÓg Tír na nÓg, oh, come beyond the ancient fog Tír na nÓg, oh, come with me to Tír na nÓg Time won't follow the path we came The world you left, it forgot your name Stay with me and be mine my love Spare my heart the pain Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Saeta-Ceatia nuige Tír na nÓg Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Nuige, Tír na nÓg Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Saeta-Ceatia nuige Tír na nÓg Saeta-Ceatia sciamh-ne riabhanach Nuige, Tír na nÓg Tír na nÓg, oh, come beyond the ancient fog Tír na nÓg, oh, come with me to Tír na nÓgCome with me to Tír na nÓg

もう7年も前になるのか… 久々に聞きたくなってきました。 本当に素敵な曲、綺麗な歌声。 いつまでも大好きです😊

The woman at 2:15 has such a beautiful and unique voice! It sounds much more grounded than the other, more floating voices, but that makes such a nice contrast... I'm babbling again... I'll stop

I’m from an old Irish-Welsh family. The Faeries are apart of our history. This song made me cry, it rang deep in my heart. My grandma told me old Irish Faerie Stories and I grew up on Arthurian Lore. This hit deep.

I'm depressed and this is the only song that can make me smile and actually feel happy.

And so they lived happily together for 300 years in the land of Tira nog , land of eternal youth and beauty

Long ago, people in Ireland believed that there was a beautiful land in the western sea called Tír na nÓg - The land of the young. It was a place where the trees were always green, the flowers were always in bloom and men and women never grew old. This is the story of how Oisín, the son of Fionn MacCumhail leader of the Fianna, came to go to Tír na n-óg. One morning the Fianna were hunting deer on the shores of Lough Leane in County Kerry. As they rested on a hilltop, a beautiful girl came riding towards them on a snow white horse. She was dressed like a princess and her long golden hair hung to her waist. As she drew near, Fionn called out “What is your name and what land have you come from?” - “I am Niamh of the Golden Hair and my father is King of Tír na nÓg. I have heard of a great warrior named Oisín. I have to come to find him and ask him to return with me to the Land of the Young.” Fionn was sad, for he feared that if Oisín went with Niamh, he would never see him again. But it was too late, Oisín was already in love with the princess. He accepted Niamh’s invitation and waving goodbye to Fionn and his friends, he jumped onto the horse behind Niamh. Away they galloped into the morning mist. Over the land and the sea the fairy horse ran, moving as swiftly as a shadow. At last they reached the golden shores of Tír na nÓg. The king and queen welcomed Oisín and held a great feast in his honour. It was a magical land. Oisín hunted and feasted and at night he told stories of Fionn and the Fianna and of their lives in Ireland. Oisín had never felt as happy as he did with Niamh and before long they were married. Oisín lived in Tír na nÓg for three hundred years, but being so happy, it only seemed like three. Then a great longing came on him to go back to Ireland. Niamh did not want him to go but at last she agreed and gave him the white horse. Niamh warned him “set foot, even once, on the soil of Ireland and you will never return to Tír na nÓg.” When Oisín reached Ireland he found that everything had changed. There was no trace of his father or the fianna. As he passed through Gleann na Smol, the valley of the thrushes, he saw a group of men trying to move a large stone. “I will help you” he said. The mighty Oisín stooped down in his saddle, and with one hand, lifted the stone. But as he did so, the saddle strap broke and he tumble to the ground. Immediately the fairy horse galloped away and a great change came over Oisín. In the blink of an eye the great hero of the Fianna became a withered old man. Unsure of what to do, legend has it that the men brought Oisín to Saint Patrick. Saint Patrick tried to comfort Oisín in his old age. When Oisín learned that the Fianna and his father were long since dead, his heart was filled with sadness. Oisín spoke of the old days of the fianna and the many great deeds of Fionn, when they hunted and feasted and listened to great stories. He spoke of his time in Tír na nÓg and his beautiful wife Niamh. Although Oisín died soon after, the wonderful stories of Niamh and Oisín have lived on.

I love this song

I'm an Australian, of predominantly English descent. But I learned about the faery mythology and Tir na N'og 50 years ago, and am spellbound by this song. For those who are unfamiliar with the tale, look up Ossian.

Where had this song been all my life?! It's so enchanting and it sooo feels like a call from the unknown and I'm already addicted 😭😭

This is the kind of song that you could listen to for 2 hours and still want to hear it again

I was lucky enough to meet these amazing women a few years ago. My wife Daughter and I worked security for concerts as a weekend gig. It was a fun job before COVID hit. These women were some of the best people we ever had a chance to work with. Polite and friendly. They were amazing to see live and great fun to meet. Most performers we meet were not like that LOL.

im Polish and stunned by this

I’ve loved your music since I was little. It really is magical and has so many memories attached to it!

Is there anyone else who finds Eabha's (the third soloist) voice absolutely enchanting?. I think her voice is a much needed addition to Celtic Woman and I hope they make the most of her time within the group because she is brilliant.

So soooo glad that there are still songs coming out from Celtic Woman. No matter who is singing or what song they sing, it's always so perfect and enchanting in every way

2:13 a beautiful, rare voice, very deep mezzo or even contralto.

I have Scottish, Irish and Celtic family roots. I've been listening to Celtic Woman for many years and just love their artistry.

For all non Irish people Yes, Who is it? Yes, who took tea from the land of the young? Yes, Who is it? Nave from Land Come my love our world's may part The gods will guide us across the dark Come with me and be mine my love Stay and break my heart From the shores through the ancient mist You bear the mark of my elven kiss Clear the way, I will take you home To eternal bliss Yes, Who is it? Yes, who took tea from the land of the young? Yes, Who is it? Nave from Land Yes, Who is it? Yes, who took tea from the land of the young? Yes, Who is it? Nave from Land Land of the young, oh Come behind the ancient fog Land of the youth, oh Come with me to the land of the young Far away from the land you knew The dawn of day reaches out to you Though it feels like a fairy tale All of this is true Run with me, have a look around We build our life of a sacred ground Come my love, our world's may part We'll be safe and sound Yes, Who is it? Yes, who took tea from the land of the young? Yes, Who is it? Nave from Land Land of the young, oh Come behind the ancient fog Land of the youth, oh Come with me to the land of the young Time won't follow the path we came The world you left, it forgot your name Stay with me and be mine my love Spare my heart the pain Yes, Who is it? Yes, who took tea from the land of the young? Yes, Who is it? Nave from Land Yes, Who is it? Yes, who took tea from the land of the young? Yes, Who is it? Nave from Land Land of the young, oh Come behind the ancient fog Land of the youth, oh Come with me to the land of the young Come with me to the land of the young

Want an explanation? Tír na nÓg means "Land of Youth" or is another name for the Otherworld. Tír na nÓg is best known from the tale of Oisín and Niamh. In the tale, Oisín (a human hero) and Niamh (a woman of the Otherworld) fall in love. She brings him to Tír na nÓg on a magical horse that can travel over water. After spending what seems to be three years there, Oisín becomes homesick and wants to return to Ireland. Niamh reluctantly lets him return on the magical horse, but warns him never to touch the ground. When he returns, he finds that 300 years have passed in Ireland. Oisín falls from the horse. He instantly becomes elderly, as the years catch up with him, and he quickly dies of old age. But the song is mostly about their love, told from Niamh's perspective. And the song sounded a whole lot sweeter before I explained it...

I'm literally jealous of any person with celtic heritage. Such a beautiful and rich culture. There's no music genre I love more.

Finally i have found the most favourite genre of music! Celtic music is the best way to relax and for just a moment forget all problems :))

Just love this type of music.You should do more music with this rhythm. I live the more melancholic ones too, but Celts knew how to party in their times. It's impossible too hear it and don't want to dance.

I am an author who has a written a book on Celtic Mythology and I feel damn proud that I understand every reference in this song. Love this song!

I am a black women these are my girls I know all of there songs even this so beautiful, my son loves hip-hop and yet Scarborough fair it’s his favorite song love it love these girls if they ever came to LA or Long Beach I’d go see them.❤️🙏👍🏾🎉

I can't believe such an amazing video exists O-O This IS MY FANTASY SINCE I WAS 8

When 4 Irish Goddess meet a German Fairy in the forest...

Celtic Woman Sing like Angels

Esa música me encanta aún sin hablar ni entender. el ritmo es espectacular y esas mujeres que hermosas ❤. Saludos cordiales desde Colombia

This is the most beautiful-sounding nonsense that's ever graced my ears and confused my brain. Subscribed.

As a person with primarily Scottish, Irish, British and Norse ancestry this music literally makes me feel so much at home.

I feel proud to be of Celtic descent. Unfortunately, my family has been rooted in the Christian faith over the years, but I have always been closer to my ancestors and I returned to our original beliefs even though my family was not happy about it. I don't understand how we could let ourselves be so weeded out of our origin.

Make me very proud to say I am irish and love our music. 🎉

their dresses are always so pretty 😍😍😍 am I the only one who feels like they're being sucked into a world of fantasy and fairies everytime you hear them sing these types of songs???

The alto in the ivory dress has a beautiful voice!

This song is like straight out of an fantasy book. Every single time I listen to this song I have like an whole fantsy plot in my head where some fairies alongside some beautiful dressed women dancing around a campfire in the depth of a mystic forest.

One of the most hypnotic songs I've ever heard simply beautiful I could feel the meaning in my heart, voices are amazing.

I've been listening to Celtic Women ever since I was a kid, I would watch their concerts on PBS and although I miss the original singers, I'm happy they are making music still. Hopefully one day all the original girls will get together for a concert.

"Considering what happened to the last guy who did I'd rather not." Some version of the Tir Na Nog story was that the thing the mortal who went to Tir Na Nog couldn't do was get off the horse he rode to get back to the land of Mortals. When he came back was supposedly when St. Patrick was magic Ireland Christian and he came across a couple of men carrying stones to build a church. They dropped it and he reached out to grab the stone. The stirrup of his saddle snapped and he fell of and promptly aged like no one's business (all 300 years he was gone (3 years in Tir Na Nog) catching up to him all at once.) What makes the version I read sad was that he actually managed to go back to Tir Na Nog but his lady, took one look at him and violently rejected the poor guy in disgust and he was kicked out to live the remainder of his life a shriveled old prune. He was attended to by St. Patrick until he passed away. Now there are two versions of what happened to him. One is that one his death bed he accepted baptism and Died in the Grace of God. The other is that he rejected it because he asked about the comrades of his time and when he learned there was no way for them to join him he refused to accept the Baptism. He claimed he'd everything else, he wouldn't lose the opportunity to see his comrades on the other side. Wherever that may be. That bit may have actually come from a semi-historical event in the Dark Age Netherlands. There was a powerful Frisian (part of the Netherlands) chieftain who was being convinced to become Christian. According to the records he was literally one foot away from being baptized when he asked about his ancestors. He was told that they're burning in hell with no chance of reprieve. He promptly kicked the monk/bishop out of Frisia. His claim was that he'd rather sit in hell with his ancestors than in heaven with his enemies the Franks. He made a ferocious fight of keeping his people's independence and pagan ways and even managed to defeat Charles Martel, (Charles the Hammer) in one battle but was eventually over run. Sorry...I find this stuff fun. Anyway my answer is "Sorry sweet-heart but I like my friends and family. You can stand to stay away for my life-time right? It'd only be a few minutes for you at the most right?"

I am Celtic. Much love to this song 😊

My sister had her dna test results come in recently. I have Welsh, Scottish and Irish. Music like this makes me feel at home in countries I’ve never visited before.

Hi Just a Black American woman sliding in to the comments to say I’ve been a fan of the original Celtic Woman and my younger sister loves them too. I listen to them sing “O come all ye faithful “ every Christmas 🎄 since I was 18. I’m 29. It’s something so hypnotic about the violin and the flute mixed with the great vocals ✨✨🙌🏾 it’s amazing. I don’t know if I carry some Irish ☘️ blood but it sure feels like it’s possible when I listen to this 😂 I always wanted to visit Ireland 🤷🏾‍♀️ don’t know maybe to see the Emerald Isle with all that green landscape or maybe to walk down those romantic cobbled streets to grab a pint 🍺 lol but it’s been a dream of mine. Stereotypes aside. I grew up in LA that’s California. And it’s crazy dangerous and glamorous at the same time. But I thought I’d point out that beauty can be felt through more than touch, we can appreciate this music 🎼 and enjoy it almost as much as a Irish ginger lol Honestly it’s magical and we know magic when we hear it. No racism or patriotism can take that away.

Perfect to listen to on a Midsummer's Eve. Just be careful when dancing with the fae.... There can be ...complications. Happy Litha 2016!

As an Irish man, I love this music, makes me feel closer to my family’s origin, even though I was born and raised in America I don’t feel American more than half the time because of my family’s European and Irish origination and migration from these countries to America.

この曲、めちゃくちゃ好き！ 何度でも聞いてしまう素敵なハーモニーで、改めて、言葉は違っても、音楽は世界で共通だと思わせてくれる曲でした。

I'm convinced that when Tolkien was writing about elves in the forests, this is exactly what he was talking about.

This song really just puts me in a wonderful mood. It makes me smile and just I love it. It really raises my spirits.

Love this song, it's magical .. the girls voices are so sweet

Until my son told me about this group I had never heard of them. Beautiful music and I will definitely be listening to more of their music!

All of them really do look like goddesses!

we all miss Chloe and Lisa and all the girls, but come on... these girls are amazing and everything changes... I'm so happy for these incredible girls. it's a honour to be able to hear them singing, let's stop complaining about why they changed, and ejoy and be filled with all the power that these new songs can bring us...... and I need a conversation partner u.u , still Learning English... one day I wanna travel to the marvelous Ireland and listen to these girls. I love u

Their voices are so stunning. This song gives me chills.

Bloody el. I'm tryin not to be THAT guy. But all five of these women, are absolutely GORGEOUS.

I once went on a mystical journey to Tír na nÓg where I raised glasses in song with Far Darrig and Cait Sidhe, romanced the faerie princess and slumbered deep in the field of clover. My friends told me it was just a pub-crawl and I ended up passed out it a ditch, but I remember what really happened.

Whats sad is... in the “Titanic” movie, a woman told the story of The Tir Na Nog Island to her children in their last breaths from drowning.....because in “Tir na nog” you have the ability to breath underwater and never grow old.. i cried on it 😭 One of the most hearbreaking scenes In titanic...😢 Edit: Oh wow, thanks for the likes guys :) O.O Edit 2: Jesus! 195! Omg you guys are awesome, we’re almost at 200! :O Edit 3: Oml why is there so many edits lol, but.....THANK YOU FOR 242 LIKES! Edit For The Story: Just so you guys know....I did some research and it actually happened in the real life Titanic 😫😭 Edit 1,000,000: Ok I swear, this is my last edit lol. Thank you so much for sharing thoughts. -Much love, Flix

When you’ve just watched Carnival Row where they very often refer to the land of Tirnanoc where everybody who is from there speaks with an Irish accent, this is a great find. I did not know it had actual Gaelic meaning! This is so cool! Also I’m not Irish, that might explain my ignorance too 🥲

Боги, это такая шикарная музыка! Просто волшебная! Вы чудесны! Gods, this is such amazing music! Simply magical! You are wonderful!

am I the only one that's in love with the violinist!! Irish pride

I've always really loved Celtic mythology and Norse mythology and any kind of mythology. I couldn't really see a well paying career out of it so I chose my back up career, Culinary. But music like this and movies that portray my love for mythology always have me second guessing. I hope I can make time for my hobby in the time of being a chef.

I'm an O'Connor and that is a royal Irish family and this is how I got my love of mystic stuff✨🌟⭐💫🌜🌚🌝and that kind of history

I am convinced these women are not human, they are woodland nymphs, or possibly the last of the elven queens.

I’ve recently fallen in love with Celtic music! It’s so catchy and hooky.

i swear the violinist looks like she hasn't aged a day in years! i adore this music it always speaks so deeply to me and always lifts my mood and takes me to a world dull of life, ancient magic, and a world full of mystery both good and bad. of love and hardships, of trial and reward. i'll always adore Celtic women now and forever!

I'm a mixture of Celt, Viking, Spaniard, and Cherokee and out of the four varieties of music I listen to is Celtic, Norseman, and Cherokee music the most, and that's my heritage, and they always soothe my weary soul, and help heal my warriors heart

It gave me this ancient heritage & magical vibes

When they say: "There's only one thing men want!'' *_This_* is what it really is...

I’m Irish and Scottish but I was never raised to know my true heritage, but hearing this music feels somewhat familiar and makes me wanna move to Ireland and sing this to my future kids 🍀

Sorry, but I am old enough, almost 60 years, and I love this Celtic Irish music..very mutch

There is pain and sorrow in my heart for the lack of knowledge. Knowledge of Ireland and her peoples, of my heritage beyond the knowledge I am Irish, descending for Cork and Kerry. This song is magic. It seizes my heart and mind and draws me across the ocean to home. I will be there one day.

This is one of catchiest songs produced by Celtic Woman and one of my favorite :)

I love these women. My Celtic ancestors are smiling.

This song makes you feels like you wanna do irish dance! 💃

Que hará persona de México escuchando música celta ?? Sólo sé que me llena de paz todo referente a esta hermosa cultura. 💚

I have been watching Celtic woman for 10 years now and still blow me away.

the woman with the white dress her voice is so beautiful

I just love this kind of music, has a special sound that it's magical. Greetings from Spain❤️💛❤️

Why is no one talking about Oonagh? She's gorgeous☺️

After hearing this song and watching them dance, I am certain that the members of Celtic Woman are not human. They are beautiful nature fae!

I lived in Ireland for 8 months. Irish people are the best in the world. So friendly. God bless Ireland.

Positively enchanting.....the voices, the lyrics, the vibe, the lyrical tunes of the instruments...the sure purity

The angst of Niamh and Oisín got me feeling some typa way😭

Just a public service announcement, this isn't Gaelic ... The non-English parts of this song is actually Quenya ... the High Elven Language of J.R.R. Tolkien's Legendrium (Lord of the Rings and Silmarillion) They're literally singing about Tir Na Nog an actual Irish Legend but all of it is Elvish from J.R.R Tolkien's Literary Universe.

I dont know how I ended up on this video but I regret NOTHING this is an absolute gem

This group of the Celtic Women are the best.

2:13 wow Eabha McMahon's voice sounds truly lovely and she is really beautiful. Eabha is an angel. 💚💚

Im Indigenous American and i fell in love today with this music

SNL “shatta rarta laa la la ne, la Anna Ya Neyma” - nogged me here in 2021!

I'm pure Asian but working/living in Wales. My baby's born in Wales as well, I also fell in love before to a Welsh woman...so yeah I love the Celtic culture.

this song means the land of youth - where we never grow old , never die and stay young forever
