and does anyone know the lyrics/what they are saying? Trying to help a friend find the original.
Is it Gaelic?
thanks.

I don't recognise this language, sorry :p

Maybe Scottish Gaelic?
The track is made by Italians, but it doesn't sound like an Italian dialect. Funny, the producer was involved with Cappella in the past.

I'm not a master of languages by any means, but for some reason I thought Scottish (Gaelic) as well.

Yeah probably Gaelic.
Chicane - Saltwater has always intrigued me. According to the internets the lyrics are Scottish Gaelic, yet the vocalist Máire Brennan is Irish?

I don't think it's Scottish Gaelic. It sounds more Irish to me. Scottish Gaelic is more guttural.

And Saltwater is Irish Gaelic.
It has parts of "Theme from Harry's Game" by Clannad, which is by an Irish group and in Irish Gaelic.
I looked up the meaning of the lyrics from that song and it came up with this
quote:
The lyrics, derived from an ancient text from Galway, explain how in war and in violence, no side will win - that all lose.[4]
The chorus "Fol lol the doh fol the day, Fol the doh fol the day" sounds like Irish mouth-music to me. Not sure exactly what it means though.
