Kíla are an Irish folk music/world music group, originally formed in 1987 in the Irish language secondary school, Coláiste Eoin in County Dublin. The band’s first gig was upstairs in the Baggott Inn, Dublin, a gig that was attended by three people. The original lineup for the band was Eoin Dillon (uilleann pipes), Colm Mac Con Iomaire (fiddle), Rossa Ó Snodaigh (whistle, bones), Rónán Ó Snodaigh (bodhrán), Karl Odlum (bass), and David Odlum (guitar). Colm Ó Snodaigh, the brother of Rónán and Rossa, joined the band before the first recordings were made. Rónán, Rossa, and Colm Ó Snodaigh are sons of publisher Pádraig Ó Snodaigh and artist Cliodna Cussen and are brothers of Irish TD, Aengus Ó Snodaigh.
In 1991, Colm Mac Con Iomaire and Dave Odlum left Kíla to join The Frames, an Irish rock band. In the same year, Dee Armstrong and Eoin O’Brien joined the band as replacements. Dave Reidy also joined as a lead guitarist, though he emigrated to San Francisco a year later. Karl was then replaced by Ed Kelly on bass who emigrated to Scotland a little over a year after the recording Mind the Gap in 1994. Eoin O’Brien was replaced by Lance Hogan. Laurence O Keefe filled in temporarily on bass until Brian Hogan assumed that position prior to recording Tóg É Go Bog É.
Gafaithe in áit a líonann an trácht atá mé Gafaithe in áit a chreidfeadh tú é Gafaithe in áit a rialaíonn an trácht a bhí mé N'fheadar conas ach is cinnte go n-éalóidh mé
Chun imeacht i dtreo na bóithre gan cosán le mo thaobh atá mé Chun taisteal thair as thall aris ar bhrollach an domhan atá mé Chun díriú i dtreo an dúchais in ar tógadh mé atá mé N'fheadar conas ach is cinnte go shroichfidh mé é
Slán agaibh, slán agaibh Uilig, slán agaibh Agus buailfidh libh arís ar ball Slán agaibh, slán agaibh a chairde, slán agaibh Agus tiocfaidh mé ar ais arís ar ball
Ag fuascailliú na sciatháin atá díomhaoin i mo cheann atá mé Ag lorg radharc lena ritheann an tuiscint léi atá mé Ag lorg sos agus síochán do mo chroí 's mo cheann atá mé Is cuma conas ach, go bhfaighfigh mé é
Tóg é go bog é, glac é go réidh Tóg é go bog é, na bí ag troid leat féin Tóg é go bog é, glac é go réidh Tóg é go bog é, tochaill go doimhin ionat féin
Tóg é go bog é, glac é go réidh Tóg é go bog é, na bí ag troid leat féin Tóg é go bog é, glac é go réidh
Tóg é go bog é, tiocfaidh sé nuair a thagann sé Ag lorg áit lena mbuaileann an fharraige leis an spéar atá mé Ag lorg tobar a tinte óna lastar ár saol atá mé Ag iarraidh fás agus forbairt a chothú ar an saol atá mé
Agus cúiseanna ceiliúradh a chur chun cinn timpeall orm atá mé Tóg é go bog é, glac é go réidh Tóg é go bog é, na bí ag troid leat féin Tóg é go bog é, glac é go réidh
Tóg é bog é, tochaill go doimhin ionat féin Tóg é go bog é, glac é go réidh Tóg é go bog é, tiocfaidh sé nuair a thagann sé Tóg é go bog é, glac é go réidh
Tóg é go bog é, lig don solas teacht isteach i do shaol Tóg é go bog é, glac é go réidh...
I was trapped in a place that is ruled by the traffic I was trapped in a place where you would believe in it I was trapped in a place that is filled with the traffic Don't know how, but I was always going to escape
I am going to go to where the roads have no pavements I am traveling back and forth on the breast of the world I am arriving to the heritage within which I was reared Don't know how, but for sure, I'll get there
So good-bye, good-bye, good-bye I'll see you soon So good-bye, good-bye, good-bye I'll see you soon
I am liberating the wings that are idle in my mind I am looking for the sight that carries the light I am looking for rest and peace for my head and heart It matters not how but that I get there
Take it easy, steady on there now Take it easy, don't fight yourself Take it easy, steady on there now Take it easy, dig deep within
Take it easy, steady on there now Take it easy, don't fight yourself Take it easy, steady on there now Take it easy, it'll come when it comes
I am looking for a place where the sea meets the sky I am looking for the well of fire from which our lives are lit I want to nurture growth of expansion in this life And encourage reasons for celebration around me
Take it easy, steady on there now Take it easy, it'll come when it comes Take it easy, steady on there now Take it easy, let the light into your life
Take it easy, steady on there now...
