Rolling in the Deep as Gaeilge

Oh my Time Lord, I have discovered that this is from “Glee Lurgan”, whatever it is, I can’t really follow cause I’m obviously a total non-speaker but it’s… amazing. There are dorky schoolkids singing songs as Gaeilge, there’s a Puck and a Quinn, I don’t even care - this is brilliant. In episode 3 they do American Idiot at the end of the video. Freaking goldmine. Epi 4 starts with girls doing the ~Sharpay routine~ before singing S&M, ahahaha how can I not love this shit?! There is also Teenage Dirtbag [I learned how to spell beaibí] and then this guy just rolling across the floor singing Jessie’s Girl, which they translated to Cion Agam Uirthi which translates to “I have affection for her”. Hah.
This particular video is from epi 5 [but this particular song lacks subtitles, most other ones do, which is awesome] where there’s also Footloose and Mr Brightside… Man! I hope this never gets taken off the internet.

HEY LOOK, LYRICS:

Mothaím tine ag lasadh i mo chroí
Ní féidir stopadh ag smaoineamh faoi na cúrsaí mar a bhí
Dé réir a chéile, éiríonn sé níos teo
Tá’s a’m anois nach bhfeicfidh mé thú go deo

Chuir na réalta os cionn i gcuimhne dom 
An grá ‘tá a’inn is an grá a bhí eadrainn
Chuir na réalta o cionn i gcuimhne dom
Nach bhfuil tú a’m

Bhí sé go léir againn
Grá gan fadhb gan phian
Ach d’fhág tú mé gan faichill ar bith
Ag smaoineamh, is ag smaoineamh

Bhí mé caillte, gan chúis, gan aon treo
Daoine lag, uaigneach folaithe sa gceo

smaoineamh might be one of my new favourite words, unf.
