Danke für das Lied, ich habe es auf der Gitarre gelernt für die Abschlussfeier meiner Tochter aus der Grundschule. Die Kinder haben es auf der Flöte gespielt. Es ist eines meiner liebsten Gitarrenstücke.
as a chinese in hong kong, i leart it when i was a secondary school student, that's nearly 40 years ago(today is 9th dec, 2010). over the years, the tune and the words have been living and floating in my mind. the song is so beautiful and sad. it hit me strangely in those old days. thanks to maura o'connell. as a singer myself, now i know how to sing this song. i'll remember your name and it'll continue to become the best version among all youtube items, for sure. guys, be humble, read music!
Ireland is a stunning country, and the Irish are a beautiful people. This song is a distillation of it all. Thank you Maura, Thank you, Yeates, Thank you, Ireland.
Somptueuse interprétation de cet air célèbre. La voix de Maura O'Connell, légèrement rapeuse et tellement émouvante est une merveille. Son visage est un plaisir à regarder. C'est la meilleure interprétation que j'ai trouvée sur YT. Je ne m'en lasse pas (la post-vidéo est très amusante). Bravo et merci

Good news for all fans is the release of the DVD "Transatlantic Sessions: Series 3" bringing together the best of Nashville, Ireland and Scotland to perform what has been called "the greatest backporch shows ever". All of the six half-hour programmes from the BBC/RTÉ TV series are included, recorded in a beautiful old converted farm steading in the Perthshire Highlands.
@thehillcefis C'est le plus beau pays du monde et ainsi sont les gens et leur sens de vivre. Ils ont trop souffert au long de leur histoire, que ça fait mal! Je sens un profond respect pour leur patriotisme et je prouve un désir imense de gratitude pour tout ce qu' ils nous font comprendre dans cette vie.Merci aux Irlandais, à leur music , à leur pays de rêve et à leur honnêteté.
Absolutely Beautiful!!! I heard Down By Sally Gardens as background music in an email. I searched for the song to see if there were lyrics and found Maura O'Connell. She now has a die hard fan. Of all the videos of Sally Gardens on youtube this is the most moving, most beautiful........thank you so much for sharing.
this song makes my eyes full of tears everytime I hear, its a sensitive, pure and beautifull song!!!! The firs time I heard was in the ending of a anime and loved then and now more than ever.
Irish & Scots singing beautifully backed by top musicians, can't be bettered!!, Yeates is credited with writing this beautiful song, but he actually 'pilfered' it from an old Co. Antrim song 'You Ramblin' Boys Of Pleasure' A beautiful rendition by Andy Irivine on the Planxty album 'The Woman I Loved So Well'
Very common occurrence. The 'Derry Air' was a re-use of an old Irish air translated in English as "The fox's Sleep" - 'Codladh/Suan an tSionnaigh.' ...or so I have read. Many current lyrics are attached to abiding tunes and this will always continue.
Reading through some of the comments has me thinking that most of you have been on the bottle! What's wrong with just enjoying the beautiful sound of two fantastic singers and six very talented musicians?

Love Maura's voice.
Wow!
How can you go wrong with such lyrics by a wonderful Irish poet W.B. Yeats.
+ObviousInit1 Yes, it's WB Yates, but it reminds me of Burn's "Oft in the Stilly Night." Forgive my ancient frame of mind. Regards, Hugh

A beautiful rendition by Andy Irivine on the Planxty album 'The Woman I Loved
So Well'

Many current lyrics are attached to abiding tunes and this will always continue.
