Best answer:
Answer by Brendon
The male vocalist on “Release” was Iarla O’Lionaird, who is one of the two primary male vocalists for almost all of Afro Celt Sound System’s songs. The English lyrics (which I’m listing below) were sung by Sinead O’Connor, and the Malinke (African) parts were sung by N’Faly Kouyate, the other primary male vocalist for the band. Iarla’s parts were sung in Irish Gaelic, and those lyrics for some reason are not listed on afrocelts.org’s lyrics page. (Afrocelts.org is run by a fan but is arguably the best Afro Celts website, currently.) The song was written after the tragic, premature death of band member Jo Bruce, as a way of the band honoring him, and moving on without him. Here is the English part of the song “Release”, as sung by Sinead O’Connor:
Don’t think you can’t see me
Don’t argue amongst yourselves
Because of the loss of me
I’m sitting amongst yourselves
Don’t think you can’t see me
Don’t argue amongst yourselves
Because of the loss of me
I haven’t gone anywhere
But out of my body
Reach out and you’ll touch me
Make effort to speak to me
Call out and you’ll hear me
Be happy for me
Don’t argue amongst yourselves
Because of the loss of me
I haven’t gone anywhere
But out of my body
Reach out and you’ll touch me
Make effort to speak to me
Call out and you’ll hear me
Be happy for me
Reach out and you’ll touch me
Make effort to speak to me
Call out and you’ll hear me
Be happy for me
