Hey all,
I'm hoping maybe to get some other eyes and ears on this to help me find a song that would satisfy what I need.
I need a song sung by a female vocalist, preferably solo but some backups singers are okay too, but it needs to be in a different language (ideally irish, celtic, or similar), with only traditional instruments being used (nothing electronic, and no piano if possible). It needs to sound like something hundreds if not thousands of common peasants in a medieval setting would be willing to make a journey for to hear. Somewhat upbeat is nice too, and some clapping/cheering in the recording itself is fine. And, if possible, a higher feminine voice, appropriate for the character.
For some further clarification: this is a song being sung by the duchess of a medieval fantasy land's capital city, a girl who has just come of age and is considered a princess by most. She is singing at this land's 10 year festival, and is a terrific event for the people who will feel honoured just to hear her voice, let alone see her. Any help finding a song that could work would be appreciated. Here's two I found so far but neither are quite right.

The first has too many male backup singers and is almost 'too' upbeat, while the second is too slow. But any ideas or suggestions would be awesome, thank you!
