Don't know if these have been ever posted so I thought I would in case they haven't been seen yet...

The first is cute. I think it is more in line with the more modern artistic takes on the original.

The second one is actually Gàidhlig, the clip isn't the best. The feeling of the song is a little too quick and chipper in my opinion, but she does a wonderful job. I like the flow of the words with the melody of the music...

I have been searching for more videos or references to Irish/Scottish versions of the song.

I see that the Welsh language has recently been given permission by Cohen and while I don't agree with the lyrics, it was nicely done.

Does anyone have any others they can share?
