It starts at 3:57.

tl;dr - haven't found it.

 

As I'm in no way familiar with gaelic pronunciation (I assume it's scottish gaelic - and if not scottish, then maybe manx language), searching by lyrics was out of question.
I'm almost certain it's Puirt à beul as far as the genre goes though.
It also doesn't appear to be on YT - at least I didn't hear anything that would resemble these lyrics (but then again, not that many folk songs make their way there).


I've stumbled upon this funny song by the way...

@Ponies

I don't think you're going to find the song by looking for the lyrics first. Multiple people in the comment section have confirmed with one another that it is not Gaelic and rather just sounds like gibberish. Her home region is also not associated as being a Gaelic region so it might all be just a publicity thing

 

@Topic

Song might not exist, just gibberish

 

Irrefutable evidence:

Well, I shouldn't have assumed that Loki read comment section... >.>

 

and tbh, it sounds like deformed version of some korpiklaani song xD

Yeah most information is readily available to everyone, yet most people are some how oblivious. I do enjoy hunting and finding things that others can't however. 

 

The Finnish language is an abomination yet their music sounds so fucking good

Well you assumed wrong , i did research the question and that part of Scotland may not have indeed Gaelic ties , but Scotland does , just because she was born and raised in Inverness doesnt mean her family's origin is from there. Also the fact that it doesnt sound like proper words is not that confusing. Scottish-Gaelic songs are divided in 2 types - one that is all about lyrics and usually are the more slower songs , which seem like background music rather than proper songs. Type 2 is one that is based on rhythm , you can imagine that this leads to often words sounding like gibberish and that is true , lyrics have been deformed from the original over time , depending the rhytm with which you sing it , that is why its so hard to find it.

Wow that makes it near impossible to find then. Good luck on your quest though!

Well the lyrics still stand though.This one has matching some of the words, but that is as close as i could get.
