This is the song most important and beautiful song in my entire existence. I've been in love with it ever since I first heard it. I want it played at my wedding.
BEAUTIFUL , haunting, calming, lovely, WELL worth listening to over and over.....
This video portrays the very soul of this beautiful and peaceful music..
The places showing on the video are from Mexico....
Who in this life took the time to dislike this? I know it's not for everybody, but just leave well enough alone for crying out loud!
Beautiful
Still listen to it, and what a music video 🥰
perfect song

"The Mummers' Dance"
When in the springtime of the year
When the trees are crowned with leaves
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew, Are dressed in ribbons fair
When owls call the breathless moon
In the blue veil of the night
The shadows of the trees appear
Amidst the lantern light
We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay
Who will go down to those shady groves
And summon the shadows there
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
In the springtime of the year
The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
That when the fiddler plays
All their voices can be heard
Long past their woodland days
We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay
And so they linked their hands and danced
Round in circles and in rows
And so the journey of the night descends
When all the shades are gone
"A garland gay we bring you here
And at your door we stand
It is a sprout well budded out
The work of Our Lord's hand"
We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay
We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay
Mi México hermoso , es mi paraíso , más allá de la pobreza , corrupción y narcotrafico tenemos playas hermosas , desiertos mágicos y bosques y selvas ancestrales ...
Somos un país lleno de cultura , tradiciones que muchos anhelarían Amo ser mexicano
De nada sirve
Y vives en Los estados unidos… hahahaha
Remind me why I love being a witch.
Those places in the video are the places where Squidward will go just to get away from SpongeBob and Patrick.
Squidward's Reaction: Wow,This is a Masterpiece!
If I could I would be giving this video another thumbs up! 👍
Favorited this video 5 years ago. Still watch it often because it's so awesome. My most memorable scene is @1:18 with the Puma looking at his beautiful partner.
Intriguing video. Nice!
So the video is done by Estrellas del Bicentenario. If you search them, they have a subscription available on youtube. However, this video is no longer available on their channel due to copyright infringement with respect to this specific song. However, you will be able to find the complete unedited version of this scenic video which is almost an hour long. It is quite beautiful.
Absolutely stunning.
For those interested, the images are from Mexico's bicentennial celebration. They can be found here in HD: czcams.com/video/o2wGeMw-NEs/video.html
Belíssima
This song is about the tradition of people from Newfoundland going out all dressed up in crazy clothes and masks and going Mummering in their communities. Google it - interesting culture and probably not what most people think this song is about
Soothing realy
I sure do wish there was a 720p version of this video... or even a 480p for that matter.
Beautiful
Love it

Gente, como é que esse vídeo tem tão poucas curtidas?! É lindo demais! Essa música é maravilhosa!💜
A maioria do público só gosta de sertanojo ou musicas de debiloides. Obra arte é para quem tem neurônios.
@@Gameroom19 Tem razão.
This is the prettiest potato I've ever seen.
This video uses scenes from Enigma's video/song "Why".....Just noticed this....This video is nice!!! PRETTY LADY in this one!!!! :-)
This video is showing the beauty of Mexico....
Whatever happened to the 1080p version of this video?
HD if possible, over target, for me anyway.
