*Lyrics
My young love said to me my mother won't mind,
And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind,
He went away from me and this he did say,
'It will not be long love till our wedding day.'
He went away from me and he moved through the fair,
And slowly I watched him move here and move there,
He went his way homeward with one star awake,
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake.
I dreamed last night that my young love came in,
He came in so sweetly, his feet made no din;
He stepped close beside me, and this he did say,
'It will not be long love, till our wedding day'
'It will not be long love, till our wedding day'
Sinead O'Connor, Rest in Peace. 😔 Your voice was glorious. 🎶
Her soul is eternal.
This was from the funeral scene near the end of the film. I was rivetted to my cinema seat by the hauntingly beautiful voice of Sinead O'Connor.
Je vais revoir ce film Rien que pour écouter ma belle irlandaise ❤
@@stephanestermann7451Moi aussi.
The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long. Cut down at 31, Collins had lived the life men dream of and many never achieve! Such is the way of greatness.
Yeah untill he joined the British, divided the country and started killing his own...... why do you think he was shot??? In a British car holding a British gun enforcing British rule in Ireland.....
@@raykeane9345you again? Ffs!
@@GeorgeSmith1066 yuppp ......what's up Georgie Boy??? Iam always here calling out the BS to the freestaters......😉
Michael 's candle will burn fver

Proud of my Irish heritage, my father was born in County Cork ,Ireland has been on my bucket list for many many years. Somehow I don’t think I will ever get there as I am now 77 years old and in poor health, I will continue to dream of the lush green valleys listen to Celtic songs and relive some of the storiesTold to me by my father

Sweetheart, it is NEVER too late!! Don't give up yet my dear Colleen, you can do it! One foot in front of the other! Sending all my love and best wishes for a safe journey! I love you!! XOXOXO
Sincerely hope you make it over some day. Not spent much time in Cork i'm from Donegal which is at the other end of the country but seems a great spot. Hope your health improves & you make the trip. Take care of yourself & good luck
I hope you make it, Susan, we're all waiting.
being aware is just as good , enjoy everything that all the pain ireland has been through and the music that was created by it❤️
Deeply saddened today.She was the greatest singer ever.
Rip sinead your voice will live on hope you finally found peace 🙏
Michael Collins will always be remembered as a true Irish hero and one of the most important men in our history. God rest you Mick.
The Big Guy. He’s among my personal list of most admired men. All of them heroes.
Yup 'The Big Fella' 🇮🇪☘️
I still have things of his him and his sister came to live near us in the East End Mick was my dads cousin
My mother was Irish she loved Ireland I’ve been to her homeland when I chatted to a chap and his family in Killarney he said welcome home son , that made me feel honoured to be half Irish ☘️ long live Ireland 🇮🇪
Rest in Peace Sinead O'Connor your voice was unique and will live on. God bless you.
I'm a Sikh however this Song reminds me of our beautiful culture too! Thank the Irish!
How ??
@@friendlyvimana Celtic music was heavily influenced by indian classical music
@@user-qt3ms8zs6j
No, it was not. It long predates any contact between Ireland (and other Celtic nations) and India.
This form of singing in Ireland has existed for well over a thousand years. It's call Sean-nós. Only difference from that time is that it would have been sung in Irish (Gaelic), not English.
@@gaelicreaction1049 ua-cam.com/video/FaJTGpUoDCI/v-deo.html
I have many friends who are Sikhs they are strong men who are totally staunch , they're word is better than a contract ,,,
Amazing version of this song, RIP Sinead
RIP Sinead O'Connor ❤
Such a beautiful voice
"It's my considered opinion that in the fullness of time, history will record the greatness of Michael Collins and it will be recorded at my expense." - Eamon De Valera...
surely that sentence can be wrote again some time in the not too distant future ,with the fullness of time,with the name of a far sighted man included.That man would be known as "Martin Mc Guiness",,,,,,God rest his sole.
Well he hit that on the head the conniving prick.
That would be Wexford as opposed to Dover?......
Dr Valera making a somewhat ambiguous statement . Was that considered opinion that Collins' greatness would be at his expense said with a tinge of guilt or self pity ?
@@MrMollypockets Martin McGuinness whose headstone claims he was a member of Michael Collins Irish Defence Forces, Óglaigh na hÉireann, when in fact he never was. He was a member of a cowardly terrorist organisation know as the Provisional IRA.
I love you Sinead O'Connor. Thank you for sharing with the world your voice
Sinéad O'Connor's haunting vocals on "She Moved Through the Fair" underscore the senseless tragedy of the climactic scene in Neil Jordan's 1996 film "Michael Collins" at Béal na mBláth in County Cork, where the title character was cruelly ambushed and killed by some of the very same IRA gunmen he once commanded in battle with the British. It's a shame that O'Connor's notoriety and self-generated controversy has often overshadowed her unique talents as a singer. I sincerely hope later generations will come to appreciate her better than my own.
One person's "self-generated" controversy is another person's truth. She was NOT wrong about the Pope, as we now know, after the church in many countries have paid out millions to people who were abused as children. She was right, but all everyone will remember was her stand that was bold for what was right.
sinead o connor the heart and voice of the celtic irish..........beautiful vocals
my granny knew Michael Collins and said he was a fine thing altogether ~ always remember her saying that....
my granny didn't know him but said the same thing
:)
Laura Rodriguez 🍀
Lisa White brilliant what’s the connection?
@@lisawhite6341 it's not really that far back what did you find
Not all of us Brits feel sentimental about the Empire. Some of us feel ashamed of what was done in our name. Long live the Irish Republic.
First Last respect🇮🇪🍻
Long live the British Republics!
Thats in the past, different times and a different world
wow you had to edit that little comment.......
Respect mó chára
It always brings a tears to my eyes
Sweet, melancolic, lovely... From Catalonia, Long Live Irish Republic!
Freedom to Catalonia!
A song as bittersweet and heartbreaking on a level only the Irish could achieve. Beautiful song sung by an amazing artist, Sinead O’Connor
My father was Irish, god rest his soul, so this really hits home for me. This is one of the most haunting and beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. As far as I am concerned, Sinead's version is the standard by which all others are judged. She has such a unique and stunningly beautiful voice.
Greetings to Ireland from their first cousins the Greeks!!!!!🇬🇷🇮🇪
Thanks from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 what do u mean?
@@boohoo79 Similar mentality!!
@@ioannisstannis4488 Haven't met enough Greeks to know that, but happy to hear it! P.S. Thanks for the yoghurt and philosophy!
Sinead’s voice gives so much to the tone of the song.
bs this is the worst version
@@michaleenoge861, lol, good on the bevil then. Yacunchya.
You sang Irish traditional music that would break your heart. God Bless and thank you.
RIP Sinead.
A beautiful voice for a heartbreaking song.
RIP Michael Collins also x
I love this song! It was played at ma grannies funeral and always reminds me of what a strong irish wumin she was! RIP 👼
May she Rest in Peace 🙏🏼🤝🏼💐☘️
This song always brings tears in my eyes. 🙏🏻💚🇮🇪
Me to Andrea.🤝🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
It's beautiful but sad
I cryed two or three times while watching this great movie. And huge, huge thoughts for Irish people who went throught a lot.
+ettolrahcecila Thanks.
Movies pretty inacurate tbh
+Max M what's inaccurate about it certainly not the suffering of our people that's for sure
that means a lot
candy girl ciara and
I'm Irish American (Born and raised with an American mother) and I've never been patriotic. But this song gives me chills, makes me mourn a heritage long since forgotten.
wath's in the blood is there forever
It’s still your heritage my friend. It’s in your blood you’ll always have that irishness in you!
Same. I am determined now to find out more about my Irish heritage and culture. So precious and must never be forgotten.
You see what your feeling it's called our goal 😊 enjoy lad
jean-louse carroll
Forget your Irishness, your American-ness. You are Celt.
Thank You Micheal for your service to Ireland.. God Bless Ireland.
Michael Collins Was A Hero!!!
Bless you Michael Collins. A true hero. I'm half English and half Irish, my Irish side from County Cork. Ireland and Collins are an inspiration.
He played cards with my grandmother, i have one of his walking canes, he gave as a gift. Great man
proud be an Irish woman!
where would we be today without michael?
Proud To Be Half Irish, And Half Australian, This Song Always Gets Me..... After Michael Collins Died And It Played.
Irish on my maternal grandfather's side. I just love this song.
Michael Collins is a hero to me. Maybe not to everyone who hears this. But he gave his life for what he believed in.
He’s our favourite son
He’s a hero all right. Never a better man. He was the leader of the War of Independence which was brutal but which finally brought about the Truce. I’ve been to Beal na mBlagh and I don’t buy the story that he was shot at from a distance and a ricochet bullet killed him. Good rest his brave soul and all the men who fought during the 10 years of war and struggle in Ireland from 1913-1824. Brave men and true🧤🫶
I am proud to be Irish. The legend Michael Collins brought me here
Steve M Me too, well a quarter Irish, and rest Welsh, got the throw back green eye's & black hair(gone white grey now lol), the rest of the family are blue eyed & blond, even my son. I'm a proud Celt.
Vig James Born and raised in Dublin my good sir. Thanks for sharing
He's no legend, if he didn't sign the papers.. By now all of millions in Ireland would we free... Say wat use want wee man but ... Thousands of men ? Or a nation of Ireland wanting to be free.... The world would now listen to millions, NOT CASE AS PPL ON IRELAND NOW DONT CARE, BUT ITS DEV THE MAN WHO FORCED COLLINS TO GO.
+Mark Foley you mean, if De Valera had given permission to the British to use a port and airspace during WWII, you'd have been given N. Ireland back free and clear following the war. He declined, and to this day you remain divided.
+Emperors Court I was also De Valera who sent the Irish constitution to the Pope in Rome telling him he could change whatever he wanted. And the British would never have given up Northern Ireland.
my god sinead pays this song justice, really fits well with the film. long live the spirit of big mick
Having read the biography 'Micheal Collins' I regard him as the greatest freedom fighter to have walked this earth.
js gould he was a traitor
Bryn Waters Wrong
@@RobertK1993 wrong he got the best deal he could Britian never would have recognized a Irish republic at that time.
Michael Collins are day will come
Collins .without a doubt BOBBY SANDS 65 DAYS WITHOUT FOOD THINK ABOUT IT ..UNLIKE THE UDA/UVF POT NOODLE HUNGER STRIKE LOYALIST ALL TATTOOS AND STEROIDS AND NO BALLS
Michael Collins was a man who's likes only come around once in a generation. I believe it was destiny that brought him to the fore.
this easter will mark 100 years since the rising of 1916. To be Irish and alive to be able to celebrate this historical effent is truly an hounor. God rest the souls of each person that scracificed there life for this great country. They should never be forgotten. Michael Collins you give freedom to are nation and died defending it like many others. God knows where we would have ended up if there wasn't brave men like yea. Eire is forever in your dept. Eireann go bragh.
well 6 counties to go buddy
and you might just get them back...you are lucky to be irish. and have all this richness ....envious brit speaking
jstylezPictures I don’t want the 6 counties, we can’t afford it
ya and or own fucking people have it fucked... those people from 100 years ago and fucking beyond and well fucking beyond would be disgusted with the way it is now..... or generation in the future, we be looked at cowardly
Eire is encumbered whilst Éire is Ireland. As for Collins he ordered the death of many republicans that wanted a united Ireland, He didn't die defending Ireland,
This song moves me so much, it hurts.
SUCH words, such melody...sung by a supreme voice.
Oh my...
This is a really great song, and honors a truly unique individual who gave his life for Ireland. We cannot pretend that everything that he did was perfect, but without him, Ireland might still be part of the England.
So he's pretty damn special, and Liam Neeson's portrayal of him was absolutely fabulous. Alan Rickman was just amazing as de Valera.
Awesome film and a beautifullnsong!
RIP Alan Rickman
And he died on my birthday as well😭
This is not the comment of a nice person.
What a true irish man he knew he's roots god bless him he's memories will last long till the end off time
Very true john.lord have mercy on him.one of Ireland's best heroes.
@@h.m.a.2037 he will never be forgotten for what he believed in and what he though was right ireland being free
As an ex Irish Soldier I saw a Michael Collins portrait in every barracks I went to. I saw Dev in none, That says it all.
Anthony Cosgrave Sure does , shows the Irish army should be kept on a lease . I suppose an organisation with no history isn't going to understand it.
Went to the Canary Islands on holiday a few years back, ended up in an Irish bar, there’s a Scottish musician playing Irish rebel music. At some during the gig he takes a small break from playing, he takes a large gulp from his pint of stout and asked those in attendance, anyone here from Galway? Few people in the crowd let a roar. Anyone here from Dublin? The crowd roar. Anyone here from Cork? A couple in the corner of the bar roared yes, we are from Cork, up the rebel county. The musician laughed and shook his head. The rebel county he says? The only fucken rebel that you had in Cork you fucken shot. True story. RIP Michael
🤣👍
That musician was talking bullshit. The vast majority of Irish people had got nothing to do with the war of Independence or the Civil war. There is not one person of the IRA anti treaty member still alive today. That Scot just couldn't hold his drink.
@@Seanmcdhuibhne It was a lighthearted joke....
Boring old Dublin joke. The war of independence was fought and won in Munster, mostly and especially in county cork.
Learn a little history, you sound a little like a sasanach
Must have been a Lowland Scot. Cork and Kerry were the heart of Collins's network. A lot of his key people were from there and related to him somehow, as am I. It was a terrible and bloody place during the War of Independence. Some of the most important IRA columns worked in the area and consequently that's where battles like Macroom occurred. That's a "joke" I wouldn't tolerate.
Sadly missed Sinead o Connor 😢ahead of her time.
So true and was crucified because of it. Will always miss her on this earth.
My grandmother's favourite song. She lived through this era in Ireland. I didn't cry for 20 years until she died, then I cried like a baby until my mother got annoyed with me. Fuck I'd take physical pain over emotional any day of the week.
Michael Collins is the cousin of my mother and his fury runs through my veins. I was born in Engalnd but I'd give my all to fight for a united Ireland - the land I love.

Nonetheless you ate still a U.K. citizen, a British citizen
Be proud of that too

God bless you Michael 🍀🍀👊🏼👊🏼🙏🏽🙏🏽
The Big Fella was born 130 years ago today (16-10-1890). The Greatest Irish Hero. I’m proud to have Cork Irish blood running through me. My Grandpa, Thomas Patrick Hayes, was from Youghal his mother’s maiden name was Collins.
We should all follow a path of freedom. Big Love for the Big Fella.
Thank you bigman for what you accomplished for this Republic !! GO RAIBH MAITH AGUT !!
This was and remains a most powerful ballad. It was tugging at my heartstrings with raw emotion when I saw the film 20 years ago in the theatre.
I'm a proud Irish American, whose ancestors came to the United States from County Clare. Many of them were Fenians, who wanted independence for all of Ireland, and came to the states during the famine. I hope to visit Ireland, especially County Clare, someday. It will be a very happy, but emotional trip, if I'm able to visit.
Great country stunning
RIP Michael Collins. Legend. Irish Warrior.
👍
The guy used British guns on his former comrades. wouldn't go as far as calling him a warrior.
+Danny Blue He sold out his country, some hero
Noel Dylandy did he fuck. He used his brain. If he didn't do what he did the blood thirsty Brits would have destroyed Ireland.
***** he wasn't worried about what people thought of him. He did what was best for the Country.
This has to be one of the most beautiful and tragic love songs ever written,it brings tears to my eyes! There is such a wealth of beautiful music and literature in this country! God bless Michael Collins, we owe him a debt that can never be repaid!
how nice to hear sinead singing sweetly and - as an englishman - i say michael collinjs was a hero and roger casement was a martyr. please dont judge us all.
this song is one of the beautiful ballads ever written. my partners family are from Ireland and she has a lovely voice and sings this song often.
I heard this song before the film Michael Collins came out and then heard this version and it blew me away. I made a point of mentioning it to my dad a while later and he said this was my grandmothers favourite song.
I am from Norfolk with Irish ancestry,(Grandfather)I went to Ireland for hols with my husband earlier this month, and visited Michael Collins grave at Glasnevin Cemetery, in Dublin, it was covered with vases of flowers, and I was able to place a flower on there as well. It was a very moving moment for me, as I admire the Big Man very much, he had a very difficult job to do with the hassle of the Treaty back then, and did what he thought was right at the time.
Beautiful song, my favourite Irish ballad next to "Grace" and sung superbly by Sinead O'Connor.
he couldn't even mary his girl:( he died when they were engaged:( long live the big fella
Up the officials, As they where the Real deal,
This movie is awesome. And I can't find words for Sineads voice in this song.
This will be my first dance on my wedding day :)..
Used to hear this in Liverpool as a kid. Eerie, but Sinead does it justice!
i am so proud to be Micheal Collins' great great nephew!! no lies he was my grandmothers***god rest her soul*** uncle and the lived about 200 meters from each other. i only figued this out three days before my grandmother died because she didnot like talking about it.
My olds from county wicklow I was born in Australia my dad migrated out here when he left the army after serving in the congo and Cyprus I wish I knew more about where I come from I lost dad 11 years ago now 🇭🇲🇮🇪
im from Wicklow.. The Garden of Ireland. Come visit the place and you won't be dissapointted!
You would get a warm welcome here in Cork (South of Ireland) as well. 🍀🇮🇪
Visit Ireland you might never go back to Australia
Look at "The Siege of Jadotville" on Netflix if you have an interest in the Irish who served with the UN in the Congo. It's not for those with rose-tinted glasses about Ireland, but you cannot fail to be proud of your dad's service there.
@@fuiseog2339 I seen it the day it was released I wish my dad was still alive to see it
Sinead time and time again spot on and faithfully realizes these beautiful renderings of traditional folk tunes.
I love the raw emotion in her voice this is the way our stories can be told .............................
such a beautiful song full of hope and promise during a time of conflict and betrayal....some shit never ends
What a FINE job Liam Neeson did!!!!! He is the ultimate actor or our time.
wow sineads voice is amazing
I totally fill up, it's just a beautiful , dreamy , sublime version of the song, it doesn't have to have any context,
RIP sinead o'conner, you will be missed, from Australia.
Long live to the Irish people.
Thanks from Dublin Ireland🇮🇪🇪🇺

Travis Walsh rightly so!
Did you cry at the end like I did when this was played? I balled like a baby.
Hero of Ireland . How can we not recognise him
"OUR REVENGEWILL BE THE LAUGHTER OF OUR CHILDREN". Bobby Sands. Never forget!!
cara madra Yes !!
cara madra love it !
Are your children still laughing? As they see the Union Jack still flying over Northern Ireland and McGuinness finally where he belongs - in the grave?
Those children have kids of their own now and there is no laughter and
no revenge and so Mr Sands will be forgotten and his efforts were in vain
and thats the plain truth.
@1414yorks
Bobby Sands won't be forgotten if we don't let him.
I was 14 when the hunger strike was happening , and my Mam told me about him , and when I grew , and had my own children , I told them , and they will tell theirs .
He won't be forgotten . Lest we forget
my great grandfather fought against Collins and the free state army with Ernie o mallys 2nd southern divison of the IRA this song always was my grandmothers favourite song
He was a real hero your great grandfather, fighting the traitors who were being funded by the British to execute the true Irish soilders.
Hauntingiy Good and Sinead"s voice gives me the goosebumps.
Rest in Peace Sinead O'Connor.
greatest country on this earth ☘☘
except for the fucking garda bastards police state and bent politicians and banks
Thats very true my friend.

I am Scottish from my Dads side but my Mum’s Dad well his name was Patrick Hogan.He was the finest and kindest gentleman you could have ever have met.I absolutely love Scottish/Celtic music we have so much in common.🏴🇮🇪👍

Gorgeous orchestral arrangement ... My father used to sing this beautifully
This is one of my favorites. It is both haunting and romantic.
May you rest in peace
Selfless act for humanity
Your name will be remembered for years to come.....may God bless your soul
Michael Collins
The day I die I want this on my funeral I'll always be proud to be Irish ( if the day comes when I have to fight to for my country I'll be first on the list 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
..you'll regret it to til the day ya die..if ya ever ever live so long( Quiet Man)
I have not seen many movies that inspired real tears, but this had me genuinely sobbing. It's just heartbreaking.
It is one of the odd quirks of fate that great military men seldom make great peacetime leaders. Michael Collins might have been one of the exceptions to that rule. If he'd had the chance.
Beautiful Irish tune I cried so hard through out this flick ❤☘️❤☘️
Sinead you legend 🇮🇪❤🇮🇪❤🇮🇪❤
Such a beautiful but haunting song
Amazing sinead
The main man in all the History of Ireland 🇮🇪
What an incredible song.
