- Maura O'Connell (with Karen Matheson) performs W.B. Yeats' Down by the Sally Gardens on Season 2 of BBC/RTE co-production: TransAtlantic Sessions. Lyrics below.
Down by the sally gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the sally gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I being young and foolish with her did not agree.
In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.
Repeat #2
I'm Japanese student. Now I study Ireland culture, and finally I found out this videos. It moves my heart. I hope this song would sing forever and spread all over the world!!!!

aww that's really sweet to hear. I'm glad you're enjoying our culture :) I used to be able to play this on the tin whistle
Yes it is a great song written by an Irish poet called W.B.Yeats.
I’m a mexican guy and discovered this song. I loved it’s wonderful! My mind it’s so big in musical likes so there are music from the thousands of countries and this is special.
This song reminds me so much of my childhood. My father used to sing this song to me when I was younger. Would love to go back to those uncomplicated days again! 😢
This is the most beautiful and moving version of this song I have ever heard in my 71 years. Thank you so very much. Huzzah, from Texas.
Definitely Maura is the best
Agreed, and have heard many. Such a lovely song too.
@@janstrelinger4076Kate matison singing beside her . This is Maura,s song no doubt but Kate deserves a mention. Certainly the best version of this song in my opinion.
English for me used to be distant and far out of reach for me... and now I feel so fortunate to be surrounded with lots of great works written and performed in this language. I first read W. B. Yeats's Down by the Sally Gardens and I was deeply moved by how time flies and how it makes people's remembrance of the past have such a great impact upon all of us. And now, listening to this song performed by the very talented Irish singer Maura O'Connell makes me believe art is our universal language. True talents do stand the test of time!
I taught English to non native speakers for many years. And yours is excellent.
I learned this beautiful song when I lived in Galway, Ireland for 11 years. Now, back in Germany, I have performed it a few times with my own Galway Girl Laura.
And for the past few months, this has been a standard lullaby for our 5-months-old half Irish-half-German daughter Tara.
One of the most beautifully sentimental songs I have the fortune to know. Beautiful performance, too!
Aww
beautiful from one of the most underrated singers in Ireland.
完全同意
Maura O'Connell is an angel!!! Every time I hear this song, it makes chill... But Maura brought tears to my eyes... No one will ever sing this song like her! It's perfection!!! Thank you for bringing us such wonderful song in a perfect voice!!
Just another one of endless reasons to be proud of my Irish heritage🇮🇪🇺🇸
Eeww..
Your reply is odd
i first knew this lyrics as a peom of Yeats when I was in my 10th grade, and a few years after I realized that it has been composed as a beautiful song as well. I felt so related to the poem to some unknown reason, that it fills my eyes with tears every time I listen to it
Down by the Salley Gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the Salley Gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish, with her did not agree.

Down by the Salley Gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the Salley Gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.
This was my Grandma's favorite song. Bittersweet memories.
Such a beautiful rendition. I wish I could 'like' this a million times.
Me too.
Yeah I agree👍👍👍
My best song.Always means a lot.Thank you.
Je suis français. C'est la seule chanson que je peux fredonner de bout en bout . Merveilleuse chanson
When I was 13 we performed this song in my choir and I always thought it was so beautiful
I cried when I was listening to this record..
One of the most heart touching lovely Irish songs! Really full of soul!
Brings tears to my eyes. Her voice is perfection for this song and the accompaniment superb.
Maura.."Fashion is fleeting but Styles as Yours Endures"! Our Irish lost Treasure! Please Sing again W B Yeats would have adored you..as I and all still do...with your voice of a Trush!!..It's purity and musical brilliance...brings appropriate tears! You are an Irish Icon..Please sing again!x John Co Tipperary.
This is THE best version of this beautiful song, for me. I hate it when opera singers take it on, it changes the whole context of the song! It's an Irish folk song and only singers like Maura can give it creedence. IMHO...So gorgeous thank you for posting. My choir is singing this, I hope we do it justice but it is your version I listen to.
I’ve seen that - they try to make too much into a classical opera song, and some of the feeling is lost
Except it's not an Irish folk song. It's a poem by W.B. Yeats that someone set to music.
这首歌，这个版本，是目前听过最好的感觉。这首歌悠扬婉转，这样慢慢唱更能打动人心。配乐也非常好。这首歌真的适合有点故事的人听。能让人找到心底的柔软和对自己年少时的一种百感交集的回眸。走了那么长的路，吃了那么多苦，就是为了遇见今天的自己。
That's a beautiful discription
有个中田美惠的版本也很好听 每个人都会糅合自己的感受演绎不一样的味道
I am theoretically supposed to sing this at a concert but these ladies have set the standards so high I am actually scared! But not of your voices, they are so amazing!
+RandomnessLOL You'll be fine! :)
+Evan Ingalls Aww thanks!!!
Love this also my grandmother taught me well this l thank her for in spirit heart n mind 🖤🖤🖤💙💙💙💚💚💚🙏🙏🙏
Devil strings and violins
Why does this singer always move me so much! What a version and what a song.
Beautiful composition with a very nice arrangement. Ladies thank you for your music 🎶 Accompiment so nicely played as well
So many different people from some many different countries find the beauty and the peace in this superb rendition. If only we could bring that beauty and peace out of this song and into the world. When the power of love overcomes the love of power then there will be peace. Stay safe Stay strong
Reading “The Children Act” and I had to come listen to this wonderful song… very touching story and indeed a moving song.
Masterpiece song.
what a lyrics
what a poem
what a story
❤️
This concert makes people happy
This song helped me discover the beauty of the poetry of Yeats
Thank you gentlemen for your short sighted and totally uninterested remarks to this video. We herewith go back to the essence of Irish music and the story telling bit where it doesn't matter who is singing the song. Lovely sung and lovely song! Well done girls!
some boys are playing too ....
but maura and karen are singing deep into the soul of anyone listening ...
(if there is a soul...)
What remarks? Only Catharina, Sweden suggested a man should sing it.
How lovely . Sang this last night for the first time with my choir. I love it.
So Beautiful. Lovely voice very nice everyone.
Sooo schön vorgetragen, einfühlsam mit wunderschönen Stimmen! Hach und die Geige und ... TOLL!
When I was in middle choir this was the best song we ever sung. I still love it till this day. So much memory within one song!
I'm not from Ireland but I discovered this song in a book called "bloody Jack" and this songs just brings me to tears :') such a beautiful song
The Most beautiful , endearing Song ever to me. I get heart ache every time I hear this song !
Beautiful performance!!😂❤
the beauty of understatement
This is by far the best version on CZcams. Sounds really nice!
Mizule Ri Ra also do a great version
Clannad’s is also good
This music is amazing ~
When I was a child, I fill in love with this tune ~
Very well done people. The vocals were lovely as were the instruments.The dobro was a somewhat surprising addition to a traditional Irish ensemble, but woven in quite masterfully. All in all a tasteful and enchanting rendition.
Lovely emotional vocals and brilliant performance that fit well with autumn! Thanks so much.
Maura & Karan do Sally Gardens beautifully. When I was a teenager I was a drummer in a accordion band and won the all Ireland . For me personally its the timing that makes or breaks the song .
Absolutely gorgeous - what great voices! 🤩🤩🤩 The first time we danced to this Irish song it moved me to tears... 😢😥😢
Heaven... Pure and simple.
I love song !

So wonderful that the old songs are still being sung and appreciated.
This my friends is music. Glorious and moving.
It's a sad beautiful song. It often makes me cry.
I'm Spanish and would like to give thanks for so beautifull and moving song and such a genial performance. Touche!!!! For ever
I often, of a summer's afternoon, play this tune on my Irish whistle.
Wunderbare Stimmen und Instrumente, die in meinem Herzen Freude und Wehmut hervorrufen. Danke 🥰
A wonderful performance. Best wishes from the San Francisco Bay Area.
This is by far the best version I have heard, and I heard my mum sing this when I was little. 😅
The beauty of the song and performance stopped me in my tracks. My eyes wet with love and melancholy.
i sang this in my highschool choir. miss those days
What an unbelievably beautiful arrangement of an unbelievably beautiful song!
If you watch a video of a live performance by Maura, you notice everyone is like in a trance, this is how it is with her, being at one of her performances.
Best version I've ever heard
The poem with rhythm is the most impressive memory in my life.
I'm a r&b music hardcord lover,but I love this song!
I first heard this song about 2 years ago. I've loved it ever since
How touching and beautiful song!The soul of Ireland! I hope I can visit this awesome country before the end of my days...
when I arrived in Clifden, Connemarra after travelling from Germany
and visited Roundstone, Cleggan, Inish Bofin and climbed the Tully Mountain ....
I felt the heartbeat of this awesome country
have a look ...........
That was absolutely beautiful, ladies! Your harmony was impeccable! You sounded like angels. I loved every note of it!
Did this song as a solo for a Solo/Ensemble Contest in my Sophomore Year of Highschool. Was my second favorite song to sing for Solo Ensemble,
This was such a beautiful rendition and the slide in her voice is something I can only dream to be able to actually pull off!!
What a beautiful song...l love this forever
Beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. Thank you, Maura O'Connell and Karen Matheson, and thank you, snootbaronet, for bringing this lovely version to CZcams. W.B. Yeats is a consummate poet, and the song is set to the traditional melody, "The Maid of Mourne Shore".
A truely wonderful rendition.......beautiful song and an incomparable singer.... thanks to Maura and the poster.........
This makes me cry -- it's so very beautiful. Fully as moving as Kathleen Ferrier's rendition, and that's saying an awful lot.
Thank you FMR 101.3 fm in Cape Town for getting me here ❤
Am I the only one here because of “ The children act “ ? 💙
Emma Thompson sang it well! I've sang this song before in a vocal assembly but the movie reminded me once again :)
Nop
No you're not, I am too.
No, listening to the whole song just made me moved more by the movie. Emma Thompson should win the Oscar this year or at least a Grammy for her singing in the movie! :)
me too
What a wonderful version of this timeless song . Maura has a great voice !!!!
We are learning this song in chorus right now and it is a super pretty song
Great performer Mrs. M. O'Connell. Lovely song.
This is a beautiful performance of a beautiful song. Exquisite. Moving.
So good and authentic
Ahhhh.. lovely memories! My Ganda sang that when we lived in Co.Cork where I was born Billy .. you will have to visit Ireland :-)
Jennie Ward-Scott love Ireland forever
Gorgeous music and vocals. I love the authentic Celtic sound in Maura and Karen's voices and the instrumentals. Thank you for keeping these rich musical traditions current.
I love this song.I first heard David Patrick Kelley sing and play it.Wow!!!:-O:-O:-):-D Maura is a wonderful singer too.:-):-D All the harmony is lovely.:-):-D
Okay, first good singing today of all the sally garden verions I have seen.
Beautiful song. So beautifully done. Just can't get enough of this! Thank you!
I've listened to many versions of this song and by far this is my favorite. Their voices touch souls directly.
So very beautiful. The whole ensemble is masterful.
Every few months I come back to this always beautiful
This song always brightened my heart nd i sang this song for a concert
very interesting choice of music 'Down by the Sally Gardens' - haven't heard that for years. Another great video.
Down by the Salley Gardens 柳園深處
My love and I did meet 愛人與我相遇
She passed the Salley Gardens 她雪白的小腳
With little snow-white feet 輕柔漫步園底
She bid me take love easy 她要我愛得自在
As the leaves grow on the tree 如綠葉舒展枝頭
I being young and foolish 年少的我愚癡
With her did not agree 聽不進她的勸
In a field by the river 河畔原野
My love and I did stand 愛人與我靜立
And on my leaning shoulder 她雪白的手
She laid her snow-white hand 停在我前傾的肩
She bid me take life easy 她囑我自然處世
As the grass grows on the weirs 如綠草滋長堤岸
But I was young and foolish 年少的我愚癡
And now am full of tears 而今垂淚滿腮
- William Butler Yeats
virginids 谢谢
i love the fact that this masterpiece is translated by you in chinese language
i wonder if it could be played and sung by chinese musicians, sometimes i hear some chinese music and even if i don't understand it in the right way (beacause of my ignorance) i love it
谢谢，Cheng。
Sylvia Cheng wrong lyrics
Giovanni Peirone hi i have chinese musie you can add,me,i wil send the music to u
