In 2007, NĂ Mhaolchatha left the group to focus on her solo career and was replaced by Hilary. Sharpe initially joined the group to fill in for Kelly who was on maternity leave, and later became a full member as a replacement for Fallon (who left to spend more time with family and record a solo work).
Since then, both Alex Sharpe and Lynn Hilary have left, making way for Lisa Lambe.
In 2013, Lisa Kelly left to pursue a teaching career at a Voice Academy she started up that year with her husband, making way for Susan McFadden for the 2013 Believe Tour.
In 2013, Chloë Agnew left to pursue solo work, making way for Måiréad Carlin.
Celtic Woman was recorded on September 15, 2004 for PBS Television in The United States at The Helix, Dublin to a sell-out audience. The show was organized by show producer Sharone Browne and musical director and composer David Downes, and produced by Dave Kavanagh. The show was first broadcast in March 2005 in The United States and within weeks the album Celtic Woman reached number one in the World Music charts in America and on Amazon.com charts. Their huge success in Asia and in America has been credited to the already successful megastar Enya and has been called "Riverdance for the Voice". As of July 22, 2006 the group has broken a long standing record in the music business. Their CD has been at the #1 position on the Billboard charts for an amazing 68 weeks.
On October 19th of that year, Celtic Woman was knocked off its No.1 spot on Billboard's World Music Charts, which it had maintained for 82 weeks, by Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration. This put the groups' 2 CDs at Nos. 1 and 2 respectively. Since then, Lisa Lambe has left the group to pursue a solo career.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shule, shule, shule aroon
Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn,
Shule go durrus oggus aylig lume,
Shule, shule, shule aroon
Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn,
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
I wish I was on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill,
And every tear would turn a mill
I'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel
Shule, shule, shule aroon
Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn,
Shule go durrus oggus aylig lume,
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
And 'round the world I'll beg my bread
Until my parents shall wish me dead
Shule, shule, shule aroon
Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn,
Shule go durrus oggus aylig lume,
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
Shule, shule, shule aroon
Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn,
Shule go durrus oggus aylig lume
Shule, shule, shule aroon
Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn,
Shule go durrus oggus aylig lume,
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
The song "SiĂșil A Run" is a traditional Irish folk song that has been performed and recorded by many Irish singers and groups. The song is a lullaby, with the mother singing to her child and urging them to sleep.
The song starts with the repetitive line "Shule aroon," which is derived from the Irish words "SiĂșil a RĂșin," meaning "Walk my Love." The singer then urges the child to go to sleep and drift off into a peaceful slumber. The second verse speaks of a longing to be on a hill, where the tears shed can turn into a mill. The mill is a symbol of productivity and the ability to create something from the sorrows of life. The third verse talks about the willingness to sell one's possessions, including the spinning wheel, to buy a sword of steel for one's love. This is a symbol of one's devotion and the desire to protect the loved one.
The fourth verse is about dying one's petticoats red and begging for bread around the world, as the singer's parents wish them dead. This could be interpreted as a way to assert one's independence and leave behind the expectations of family and society. The song ends with the same repetitive line that began it, "Shule aroon," reinforcing the lullaby's soothing and calming qualities.

Come on, come on, come on my darling

And I wish for your health, my little beloved
I wish I was on yonder hill
I desire to be up that hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill,
To sit there and weep until satisfaction
And every tear would turn a mill
Each drop of tear streams the mill
I'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel
I'll vend everything I have to offer
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To trade my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel
To obtain my lover a steel sword
I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
I'm willing to color my underskirts red
And 'round the world I'll beg my bread
To beg for food all over the world
Until my parents shall wish me dead
Until my parents wish for my death

Yes but youâre still incorrect.
The word âGaelicâ means âpertaining to the Gaelsâ. Who are the Gaels? They are the first group of hunters-gatherers who arrived in Ireland during the Stone Age. The Gaels later moved to Scottish Highlands and established a kingdom there (DĂĄl Riata) from 4th century to 9th century. The Scottish Gaelic language was then developed.
The word âGaelicâ in the English language refers to the Gaelic / Goidelic group of Insular Celtic languages that are Irish, Scottish Gaelic, and Manx. The other group (Brythonic) include Welsh, Breton, and Cornish.
Therefore, itâs safe to say that Irish is a Gaelic language BUT Gaelic / Goidelic is not a language because it refers to a group of Celtic languages.
Fun / Sad Fact: only Insular Celtic languages are still here. The Continental Celtic languages went extinct a long time ago.

Translation for anyone who wants it:
Come, my love
Come, come, come, O love,
Quickly come to me, softly move;
Come to the door, and away we'll flee
And safe for aye may my darling be!
I wish I was on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill,
And every tear would turn a mill
I'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel
Come, come, come, O love,
Quickly come to me, softly move;
Come to the door, and away we'll flee
And safe for aye may my darling be!
I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
And 'round the world I'll beg my bread
Until my parents shall wish me dead
Come, come, come, O love,
Quickly come to me, softly move;
Come to the door, and away we'll flee
And safe for aye may my darling be!
Come, come, come, O love,
Quickly come to me, softly move;
Come to the door, and away we'll flee
Come, come, come, O love,
Quickly come to me, softly move;
Come to the door, and away we'll flee
And safe for aye may my darling be!

Where do you recommend for learning Gaeilge? I was searching for a good place. Can you help me?
@nickythompson9829
+Giane Higino there are several free language apps you can try. Duolingo (not sure if it has it, but it seems like I heard it did) and Memrise.
