Sounds really good here.  The vocals are great, and the instrumentation fits perfectly.    No idea what you're actually singing about but it matters not a bit.   It wouldn't surprise me if this were used in a documentary or similar TV show about Ireland.

Thanks for the tour, loved the video.  Music is great as always for you Cian.  However, I normally prefer listening to songs in English, myself.  That said, your vocals are still superb. :)

Hi Cian,
 
Very cool song and a nice video. The boat made me feel right at home. Been fishing all my life.
 
I assume this is a correct translation??
 
Across the water, go back, go back,
Goodbye to the loneliness' is the gcian intact;
My heart is bright, and the sun is bright,
Clear to return to Ireland!

Cian,
Delightful rendition of this folk tune. I like the fife and the swaying drums and rhythm acoustic guitar part. It makes me want to hoist a (large) mug and sing along.
 
Cheers,
