The Irish Gaeltacht summer camp that took the internet by storm with song covers like Adele’s ‘Hello,’ Avicii’s ‘Wake me up’ and many other covers
They now released the Irish version of the famous Toto’s ‘Africa’ song known all over the world.
The 80’s hit has been translated into Irish, and it sounds better than ever!
Well done once again guys.
Once again we have included the lyrics in Irish so you can sing along:
Liricí:
Ceol na dtonn a’ bulaladh trom anocht
Ní chloiseann sí ach cogarnáil ‘s sioscadh cainte scaoilte
Eitilt isteach ar leath uair théis a hocht
Geallach gheal a’ lonrú síos, á treoradh chuig ceann scríbe
D’iarr comhairle ar sheanfhear siúil na slí
Mé ‘g iarra’ briathra cabhrach cneasta aniar ón am a bhí
‘Sé dúirt sé liom le súile glé –
Breathnaigh a Mhac- sé ansin os comhair d’aghaidh
Is fada liom an lá go mbeidh tú a’am go deo
Níl tada a bhféadfá rá a choinneos uaim mo ghá níos mó
Bogha ceatha sa spéir fud na hAifrice
Goile uait anois a’ déana’ rudaí nach raibh a’ainn
Cú allta a’ glaoch go mall san oí’
Iad uaigneach brónach fada leo roinnt sóláis ‘s ardú meanamna
Tá ‘s a’am go gcaithfear cloí lem’ chroí,
Mar ‘ bheadh Kilimanjaro ‘g éirí nós Olympus tharis an Serengeti
Ag iarra’ lochtanna a leigheas,
Faitíos orm romham fhéin a’ ghoil ar aghaidh
Is fada liom an lá go mbeidh tú a’am go deo
Níl tada a bhféadfá rá a choinneos uaim mo ghá níos mó
Bogha ceatha sa spéir fud na hAifrice
Goile uait anois a’ déana’ rudaí nach raibh a’ainn
Bogha ceatha sa spéir fud na hAifrice

I'm sure I have Irish ancestry. Listening to this music moves me nearly to tears. Thank you for the rendition of Africa that touched my heart. It was near perfect!
