Welsh Jolene Lyrics Wrongly Posted in Irish on Spotify
Spotify removed Irish lyrics that had been mistakenly uploaded to Dolly Parton's Welsh version of Jolene after the BBC asked the platform for comment.
Dolly Parton's Welsh version of Jolene had its lyrics mistakenly uploaded to Spotify in Irish. Spotify removed the Irish lyrics after the BBC asked it for comment.
The version is a collaboration between Welsh singer-songwriter Bronwen Lewis and Parton's niece Jada Star. The Welsh version came about after Lewis, from Neath, translated the song and posted it on social media. Jada Star suggested recording Jolene in Welsh with Lewis, and Parton joined too.
Jolene was released in 1973 and was nominated for a Grammy in 1974. The song has had more than one billion streams on Spotify.
