WATCH: Coláiste Lurgan Covered Sia’s ‘Chandelier’ And It’s Incredible As Gaeilge

We actually prefer this to the original. Stunning.

Coláiste Lurgan have had a pretty successful year covering some of the biggest chart-toppers as Gaeilge and absolutely nailing them.

From Ed Sheeran and Hozier, to Wiz Khalifa and the summer anthem ‘Cheerleader’ these talented students can’t seem to put a foot wrong.

The latest track to get their raw treatment is Sia’s ‘Chandelier’ which was originally released earlier this year to critical acclaim.

While her unique voice is usually impossible to recreate with a cover, we think this is a pretty gorgeous take on the chart hit.

Taking the lead on vocals is Rúth Ní Fhógartaigh, while Cristín Ní Fhearaill, Cristín Campion and Laura Ní Cheallaigh impress with their mix of ballet, mime and sean-nós dancing.

We might just have to play this one on repeat.
