Jack, yes, Celtic ThuLnder may be a overproduced, but I'd never think of comparing them to Danial O'Donnell.
But thanks for pointing out that the English is not a translation of the Irish.
When I heard Damien McGinty sing the song recently on PBS, it was entirely in Gaelic. And I thought he did a fine job of it. (But what do I know?)
Anyway, I think it's a beautiful song.
BTW, I tried to find Dougie MacLean's version on YouTube but to no avail.
