Grá Mo Chroí: Lurgan returns with a stunning Kodaline cover

The students of Coláiste Lurgan are back with yet another Irish-language cover of a great song - and creid é nó ná creid, they're getting better and better.

This one is Kodaline's hit Love Like This, adapted as Grá Mo Chroí (love of my heart, or just "I love you").

It. Is. Gorgeous. Great set of pipes on the lot of them.

We're getting several of these every summer, and we hope it keeps coming. Lurgan are arguably doing a better service for promoting the Irish language with stuff like this than the entire effort of the State.

Lyrics, as provided by TG Lurgan:

Treisíonn an grá chuile mhothúchán dá bhfuil ionainn.

Bíonn an díoma níos doimhne

Bíonn an t-éad níos nimhní

Bíonn lúcháir níos rímeadaí

Agus bíonn an gean níos paiseanta

Bhí oíche iontach againn á thaifead seo. Míle buíochas do chuile dhuine a ghlac páirt.

Ritheacht tríd an lá breá sámh

Tá an tseoid ag lasadh faoin ngrian

Táim ag cuimhniú ort a stóir

Oibríonn sé ar ár son, ár son,

Ag leanacht na habhann, chomh domhain

Tú ansin ag crú na gréine taobh amuigh

B’shin é, b’shin é, b’shin é?

Ach deir siad liom nach mbeidh tú ann i bhfad lem’ thaoibhse

Ní bheidh tú ann – croí ‘s ceann ‘s tú ag athrú thart

Ach is fada uaim an todhchaí

Tá grá mo chroí anseo faoi dheireadh

Tá ‘s a’am go bhfuil grá mo chroí anseo faoi dheireadh

Ach is cuma liom, is cuma liom sa diabhal

‘G imeacht leat i lár na hoíche

Súile dalla is cuma faoi

I bhfolach thiar i scáthanna, is eá

Ní bheidh aon solas riamh

Rud amháin ar intinn a’am – níl tada uaim ach suaimhneas

Caillte ag cuimhniú ‘s ag breathnú ar an rud a bhíonns ceart ….

An orm a bhí an locht?

Nó b’fhéidir gurb iad – do chroí ‘s ceann a bhí ag athrú thart

Mmmm do chroí ‘s ceann a bhí ag athrú thart

Tá grá mo chroí anseo faoi dheireadh

Tá ‘s a’am go bhfuil grá mo chroí anseo faoi dheireadh

Ach is cuma liom, is cuma liom sa diabhal
