Yes, this is the same song, and although I like the beat and O'Connor's voice is OK, this cannot hold a candle to Nina Simone's stunning version - IMHO.

Yeah, I'm kind of surprised as well. Not a fan of hers (for no particular reason) but this isn't bad or embarrassing. Doesn't match Peter Tosh but not bad.

Sinéad O' Connor - Oro, Se Do Bheatha 'Bhaile, Live:
http://youtu.be/8H6FfFaEync

 "Originally a song about the Jacobite uprising (2nd one) in the mid 1700's but it's been tinkered with and added to since then. A rebel favourite."   CelticProgeny

"We think of ourselves as brave underdogs fighting imperialism, but the truth is that honour only belongs to small part of our people. most irish didnt join the rebellions many even fought for the the brits, but the ones i detest are the cowards who did neither because they believe in nothing. We had too few heroes, and they are even fewer today, so we bow and scrape at the altar of globalism and allow ourselves to be led by the nose towards the complete destruction of our individuality. shame."     

Se do bheatha a bhean ba leanmhar!
B'e ar gcreach tu bheith i ngeibhinn,
Do dhuiche bhrea i seilbh meirleach
'S tu diolta leis na Ghallaibh.

Chorus:
Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh.

Ta Grainne Mhaol ag teacht thar saile,
Oglaigh armtha lei mar gharda;
Gaeil iad fein 's ni Gaill na Spainnigh,
'S cuirfid siad ruaig ar Ghallaibh.

Chorus

A bhui le Ri na bhfeart go bhfeiceam,
Muna mbeam beo 'na dhiaidh ach seachtain,
Grainne Mhaol agus mile gaiscioch
Ag fogairt fain ar Ghallaibh.

Chorus

What a talent, what a voice.  Until she went a bit off the rails (mid-1990's), I thought she was destined to be bigger than Madonna.  In any event as good a rocker as there has ever been.
