I don't speak Irish, but I've sung this song for years and I've never heard it pronounced the way she's doing it.. It's like completely different words, isn't it? Beautiful!! But I wonder what she's singing!
I just love Kathleen's voice - I can't understand a word, but I just don't care. She's a damn fine actress too. I feel the backing here is a bit overpowering - most of the tracks on her CD, which I have, are very minimal, allowing the true beauty of her voice to take centre stage. Buy it - you won't be disappointed.
Where can you buy this recording with clearer sound quality?

That's because she's singing in Scottish Gaelic, which is similiar to, but different from Irish.

This version is good but not as beautiful as the version by Frances Black. Just my opinion.

Tá guth álainn ag an bhean seo.
Ceapaim gur amhrán ó tradisiún na hÉireann an amhrán seo.
Is cuma sin - amhrán & amhránaí gleoite.

Heard Kathleen for the first time at the music festival at Scone Palace in Perth just recently.
Absolutely love her voice, beautiful tone.
