Found it!
Galactica's episode The Hand of God had a seemingly Gaelic victory song which I absolutely loved. Well, I found it. Turns out it's in Hindi, and not Gaelic, but nevertheless, here's your new ringtone. (Actually, I just remembered something from the grand total of two Gaelic lessons I've had in my life: there is indeed a connection between Gaelic and Hindi. Did some Googling, and voilà. The lyrics of the song I linked above can be found here, by the way.)

Arjan, you are into the most arcane stuff; gaelic and hindi--who'da thunk it?

They're both such beautiful languages. And this will sound extremely silly, but the first time I heard Gaelic, it almost felt like home to me, nearly as much as my native dialect of Twentish. (I finished my BA in Dublin, as you can read at http://www.isopeda.nl/cv.pdf )

The linked lyrics are those for the (first part of the) theme song.

Frack, you're right. I did some more research, turns out the lyrics are Gaelic after all. At least, this site seems to imply as much: http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/catalog/soundtrackdetail.php?movieid=72018 Lillis O Laoire doesn't seem to be the kind of person you would rent to do a cover of Rammstein's 'Hier kommt die Sonne' ;-)
