Quotes about the song
For the signature tune, I was looking for something that was both catchy and original and different to everything else I had written for The Celts. And, um, I had been working with the piano and the synthesizer and it happened on the synthesizer that I got this riff. Um, it went sort of ‘bum bum-bum bum-bum,’ you know, this type. And I got excited about it and then I started writing the right hand melody. And it just from there on worked for me really.

Gaelic lyrics
Hi-ri, Hi-ro, Hi-ri.
Hoireann is O, ha hi, ra ha, ra ho ra.
Hoireann is O, ha hi, ra ha, ra ha ra.
Hi-ri, Hi-ra, Hi-ri.
Saol na saol,
Tús go deireadh.
Tá muid beo
Go deo.
Saol na saol,
Tús go deireadh.
Tá muid beo
Go deo.
Hi-ri, Hi-ra, Hi-ri,
Hoireann is O, ho hi, ra ha, ra ha ra.
