I just simply love her version of this song...

[Dakoo89]

[ProblemHalfSolved]

I love these pictures! :O Where on earth did you get them?

What keywords did you type into Google? (:

[117dj]

Can someone please tell me this singer's name?

[Lifely2009]

@117dj Emi Fujita, a Japanese singer

[117dj]

@Lifely2009  thank you for telling it(^O^)／

[miaomiao30]

i am stunning and i couldn't believe that this sang by a japanese lady name Emi Fujita, i love it........

[Gurizin]

Though she's not Irish (Japanese tbe) I somehow feel a stronger irish connection to this than other versions

[schendert]

who sings this song? love the voice... the best rendition from the song i've heard till now...

[Lizkakriska]

tone deaf!

[twowhitecrows]

@Lizkakriska Yes i guess you are.

[dishybloke1974]

Great Music Greate Voice Marvelous FLute

[rosetutuwang]

pretty song.... we're singin' it 4 school choir....... I wish I could play flute like that............ I'm not very good, but I can play a simplified version of it on flute & piano

[phenixfeather38]

wow i am supost to play this tomorrow for a contest and i didnt really know how its supust to sound like unti now o and i have the melody in thes song :) it sounds so good

[hmtong44]

the chinese characters on the pictures are beautifully poetic.

[green3333]

I prefer this version, too.

[UndercoverCracker]

Orlas version of this song is much more amazing!

[a0e0roberts]

Odd selection of photos. I think that's Clifford Tower from York Castle.

I'd love to know who's playing backup. The flute's especially lovely.

[teresankk]

@a0e0roberts

it won't be odd if u understand the words.

[ImperialistRunningDo]

@teresankk

It was down by the Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet.

She crossed the Sally Gardens with little snow-white feet.

She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree,

But I was young and foolish, and with her did not agree.

In a field down 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.

Clifford Tower?

[teresankk]

@ImperialistRunningDo

what are u talking about?

actually i was answering a0e0roberts that i think the pictures are beautifully matched with the song.

[ImperialistRunningDo]

@teresankk That would be me. a0e0roberts isn't working anymore; and I will close the account soon.

Anyway, I didn't know why this photo from York Castle was in here. Clifford's Tower has a rather horrible blood-stained history to it. Back in 16 March, 1190 ... no, I should say no more. You can look it up easily enough.

[ImperialistRunningDo]

Oh, that's Clifford's Tower at 1:36.

I SHOULD have said that most of the photos are well chosen, but this one was a jarring exception. Kind of like putting the Tower of London in.

[teresankk]

@ImperialistRunningDo

i see.. what you mean. sorry for misunderstanding.

[DKcoolhusna04]

Can any 1help me out.

I've been looking for this song sung by Dolores Keane, the end credits 2 the film 'dancing at lughnasa'

Any1 know where i can find or download it?

thanx!

[Csanjedi]

If no one has mentioned, this is a poem by Irish poet W. B. Yeats.

[slithyj]

Sally Gardens=Willow Gardens. Sailech in Gaelich. Willow is genus Salix.

[hostclub17]

[killjudgeturpin]

[Kenjimojo]

[Redeemedsinner17]

Aw man my contact fell, man! why did i decide to cry,

[wiztantan]

who is this singing? it's very beautiful, i'm singing it at the moment

[Rainydays90]

I believe this song is sung by a Japanese singer called Emi Fujita... :D

[roskruge]

I stand corrected, it is not English, it comes from Ireland (village of Ballysodare, Sligo)

[wabblum99]

@roskruge alot of good songs come from ireland my friend

[roskruge]

Kathleen Ferrier did a very good version of this old English song. I got it from a 78rpm record (about 1949). it may already be on uTube

[sanders98569]

this sounds so much like Colleen Rainey and her brother Mark on guitar... awesome song. absolute favorite.

[IHprincess123]

[Moonraker436]

i love this song but im new at you tube i dont know how i download (if its possible) it on my pc any ideas?

[a0e0roberts]

"i dont know how i download"

Does it have to be THIS version? "Salley Garden" is a fairly common tune.

[Pompolea]

you can download vids from youtube with a newer version off the realtime player....

[roskruge]

I have downloaded songs from uTube many times, but it always comes out in mono, yet other sites I get the full stereo.

[philsev]

[liwendong2005]

the singer is a japanese, i forgot her name. but i really love Yeats, the greatest Irish poet!

[fengjiandong]

我最喜欢的歌曲之一!!!

谢谢

[gomatsuyama]

I think the singer is Emi Fujita.

[JMD0429]

I did a search on youtube and I believe you are correct. I have a new favorite singer!

[lemonsquare]

I found this song a couple of years back when I started to get into this kind of music. It became an instant favorite, and I always wanted to know who it was. I could only assume she was Irish! I'm very surprised she's a Japanese singer since I listen to a lot more Japanese music

[brianvideowatcher]

Best female version of this song that I have ever heard! Absolutely gorgeous! I want to know who the singer is too! Thanks, Brian

[JMD0429]

Also interested in who is perforoming this song. She has a fantastic voice.

Come on, don't hold out on us.

[JMD0429]

Good rendition of an Irish classic. Plain and simple as it was meant to be. The lyrics are from a W.B. Yeats poem. If you get a chance listen to Lake Isle of Innisfree by Cherish The Ladies (another Yeats poem turned into musical perfection).

[linemoren]

Who is the singer here? She has a gorgeous voice and this is a fantastic version of this song. I know it as an old Folk Song from Ireland. Though I know it has been used in Scandinavia as well....

[Loeek]

It's Emi Fujita singing, it has already been said downer...
