This is the most beautiful version of this song I've ever heard. My Irish grandparents and mother were obsessed with Riverdance and Lord of the Dance. I fondly remember taking them to Irish music festivals. This music will always mean a lot to me. Love the way it switches from English to Irish (Gaelic?) This woman has the voice of an angel.
This song brings back so many memories. As a child, I was obsessed with Lord of the Dance, and I remember wandering around the house driving everyone crazy by attempting to sing this song. Still have no idea what the lyrics are.
I have a similar story- only mine involved the two fiddling women on “strings of fire”, Mairead Nesbitt and Cora Smyth (her brother Sean Smyth is a member of Lúnasa). I was 14 at the time, although LOTD was created when I was only 9 I think. After seeing those women play, and then later in ‘Dueling Violins’ on Feet of Flames, my obsession with traditional Irish music began. That evolved into Scottish tunes, Cape Breton, Norwegian and more. I’m 33 now and been fiddling ever since. Even studied at University of Limerick, Ireland. Thanks to LOTD!!
Thanks to youtube have discovered that there is a followers' silent club of this most beautiful song. This song inspires many poetry and interpretive art. Regards from Spain
One of those hauntingly beautiful songs. So very whimsically melodic. Brings back memories of my mother playing this for me as a child. May she rest in peace. I will now let my daughter listen to this, and hopefully create more fond memories for years to come.
Beautiful Ms.Buckley does not need to bounce around the stage half naked to get attention.She has talent way beyond that shallow mindedness. Thank you Ms.Buckley
@@jocelynharris-fx8ho Ms. Buckley, What a beautiful classic Keltic lady. I hope her talent continues to get the well-deserved recognition today. I doubt it in today's world where screaming and nudity on stage is an accepted form of so-called art.
Dia duit. You imply that everyone on the internet must be able to perfectly understand spoken or sung english. The most noticable part, the chorus, is sung in gaeilge, which is very far from english, and actually quite hard to understand for people not speaking the language. I dare to claim it's impossible to understand anything, if you're not speaking gaeilge. I fear that you are the dumb specimen here, kind sir/lady. Lá maith agat, mo cara.
Peter, Paul and Mary sang this song on their album MOVING. I had no idea of its origins but it has been one of my favorites since- well at least 60 years. So lovely
This is a traditional Irish song. It tells about a woman who laments her lover going off to war. There are many versions of it including another beautiful one by Orla Farlon.
I wish I were on yonder hill', 'Tis there I'd sit, and cry my fill: till every tear would turn a mill... (Chorus♧) I'll sell my lock, I'll sell my reel, I'll sell my only spinning wheel: and buy my love a sword of steel (Chorus) I wish, I wish, I wish - in vain: I wish I had my heart again; and vainly think: I'd not complain (Chorus)
Nothing like a woman to cut her pony tail off to give you before you go to war so you carry a Pierce of her where ever your travels might take you for good omen and as luck you might come home to her. I need me a Celtic woman
Michael flatley did not invent this chant or Celtic ballad. It was written by the wife of a Celtic barbarian warrior for the Celtic peeps. Irish need to check that out
my silly child self thought she sang shoe, shoe, a loom, shoe, shoe, sucking on a shoe and clue.... little did i understand or realize she was singing in Gaelic.
***** With respect, you are wrong. It's about a time when Irish men had to choose to serve in the English army or be exiled to France. It left their women with choices such as prostituting to feed their kids. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Si%C3%BAil_A_R%C3%BAn
***** Now without respect, don't ask for corrections if you don't want them, little boy. Further more, I served in the military myself and didn't rest on my family's service. And further yet, here is the link showing the meaning behind "Siuil a Run". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Si%C3%BAil_A_R%C3%BAn The more you know...(rainbow flashes).
***** Still don't get it? (DD IQ's). The translated lyrics: I wish I was on yonder hill 'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill Until every tear would turn a mill Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling
[She's upset her husband is gone.] Chorus (after each verse): Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún Go, go, go, my love Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin Go quietly and go peacefully Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom Go to the door and fly with me Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling
I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel I'll sell my only spinning wheel To buy my love a sword of steel Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling
[She will do anything to make sure he is safe including selling the implements in which she supports the family.] I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red And 'round the world I'll beg my bread Until my parents shall wish me dead Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling
[She will turn to prostitution to feed her kids in his absence.] I wish, I wish, I wish in vain I wish I had my heart again And vainly think I'd not complain Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling
[She regrets their arguments and if she could do it again, she'd never fight with him.] But now my love has gone to France To try his fortune to advance If he e'er comes back, 'tis but a chance Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán [He chose the exile to France in order to make money to send back to her instead of possibly dying and not being able to support her or his kids at all.]
I will offer an AMEN to that. My ancesters are from the west coast. But I love this sound. It is so AMERICAN. The sound of middle class America -- the love of love, the love of the land, the love of what is right!

You have literally summarised exactly what I was going to say about this song. Absolutely the same as the above comment.
Here you go... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Si%C3%BAil_A_R%C3%BAn Wiki isn't too reliable but this entry is fairly good.
I did the same! :)

Nothing beats this version of the song. Feels so magical!
It does, doesn't it?😍🤗
It does, doesn't it?😍🤗
if you want to hear a great version look at Ella Roberts’ cover!
♡
Magical!! 🪄✨🎆🧨
Part of my childhood.
One translation of the Irish chorus is:
Go, go, go my love
Go quietly and peacefully
Go to the door and flee with me
And may you go safely my dear.
Use to watch this with my grandma ❤ RIP
Feels like something the elves from Lord of the Rings would sing, such a simple arrangement, so pure and soothing
Like elves pub music....lol
@@HectorSanchez-vv6cf So... Hobbit music?
Beautiful and serene, Irish music is simply magic
Still one of my favorite peices of music in this genre.
This song's been in my head for a couple of days. And I'm not even Irish! :-)

💝👏👏thank you for stating what *should be* obvious!
A lot of so-called " singers", could learn a lesson from your comment ! If you have TRUE talent, then you don't need to be flashy or vulgar.

I don't understand any word , but i find it verry fantastic & Magic

And this is why I love Lord of the Dance!
She is amazing, I love it :)
I genuinely live this performance
My favorite song in Lord of the Dance ❤️ reminds me of my Irish Nana
This is so Beautiful 🍀🌹
Always my favorite version. I’m part Irish on my mothers side

Merveilleux
I wish I were on yonder hill',
'Tis there I'd sit, and cry my fill:
till every tear would turn a mill...
(Chorus♧)
I'll sell my lock, I'll sell my reel,
I'll sell my only spinning wheel:
and buy my love a sword of steel

I wish, I wish, I wish - in vain:
I wish I had my heart again;
and vainly think: I'd not complain
(Chorus)
Where is the line about dyeing her petticoats red
@@esmeraldagreen1992 sorry, don't know that one
Only this version is the most beautiful.
Where is this version so I can download? Other versions are beautiful but this one is touching to the soul.
I want the sewing pattern for that cape!
lov this
Nothing like a woman to cut her pony tail off to give you before you go to war so you carry a Pierce of her where ever your travels might take you for good omen and as luck you might come home to her. I need me a Celtic woman
A " lock" of her hair is not her entire ponytail!
It was a common thing back in the day...
I want her outfit
I feel like I'm home!
brilliant! ♪♫ ♥♥
I plunged into another world
long live the Celtic genes god damn it
Michael flatley did not invent this chant or Celtic ballad. It was written by the wife of a Celtic barbarian warrior for the Celtic peeps. Irish need to check that out
god she is soooo fucking beutiful
Selim
my silly child self thought she sang shoe, shoe, a loom, shoe, shoe, sucking on a shoe and clue.... little did i understand or realize she was singing in Gaelic.
Sucking on a shoe, Eh Liz! HA_HA_HA
I thought she was singing about sugar cubes back when I was a little girl.
if you don't understand it, translate it to English and see how Beautiful it is :-)
