[TomAraya23]

[dobs2911]

[pablo7638]

[MetalMidgard]

[slviajero]

Thank you guys!



[Krumelvsmunka]

[KumLouisefz370]

soso könnte saltos schlagen so happy

[silescanlon]

Did this song for Scór Na Baiste in cork and came 3rd in the final the juges loved the way we brought back old irish songs!

[Peacock4abbeyleix]

A powerful rendition of what is well and truly the soul of a proud proud nation! Éire abú!

[irishmckiddo]

@banjoist17 omg man im irish and i have a tenor banjo, i hope you enjoy playing your banjo greetings from an irishman !

[kafkod]

Love this song & tried finding that out too. Like a lot of Irish songs, it was also sung in England centuries ago, but the lady didn't live in Dublin in those versions. Don't think anybody knows who she actually was, so why not carry on thinking it's about you. Songs like this belong to nobody & EVERYBODY. What a debt we all owe to the Irish for keeping so many of them alive.

[germancoke]

17 people burned their feet on the fire.

[IrishDancingIsFlying]

I always thought this song was for me when I was little, being Spanish and Irish, too. I wonder who the Spanish Lady this song was for really was? Does anyone know?

[IrishDancingIsFlying]

When I was little, I thought this song was just for me, Since I am Spanish, and Irish, too. I wonder who the Spanish Lady this song was made for really was? Does anyone know?

[127crisp]

one of the many reasons why im proud to be irish

[cosmin19699]

I'm proud ....that's it...this says everything...enjoy listening...

[lunchboxattacks1]

As I rode out to Dublin City at the hour of 12 in the day, who did I see but a load of Spanish students blocking the footpath and they were in my way.

First I stared, then I shouted, they looked confused 'cause they didn't understaaaaaand.........

All my life, I never can see a clear way around these Spanish teen gangs.

Oh! Come to our country, learn some English, block up a hostel hallway for half the day. Noisy Spanish rich teens, always so loud oh how I hope they're not here to stay

[Redderson4571]

17 people are not sweet about the soul.

[kola192003]

[DingChavez959]

@RevoltingRudi

The clapping is part of the music. lrn2percussion

[tepsicore]

I'm from Mexico and I also love this music since I had visited Dublin in 1978.

[kafkod]

@Mahaim13 They sound better live than they do in the studio! Been to some of their gigs. They make you feel like you're one of the band. I'm a an englishman, but I'm a dubliner. LOL.

[Mahaim13]

[cocotena]

IRISH, SPANISH AND SCOTTISH ARE BROTHERS IN BLOOD. (WE THE MODERN SPANISH HAVE 1-3% OF AFRICAN BLOOD,BUT WE ARE THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE).

GOD SAVE SPAIN AND OUR CELTIC BLOOD

[Theforgottenmist]

anyone hear the theory that the irish originated from the celts in the iberian pennensula

[Moongoose86]

@Theforgottenmist no. they didnt. there were 2 groups of celts. the godalthic in ireland and the brythionic of britain france and spain.

[Theforgottenmist]

@Moongoose86 hence the theory part it can be proven wrong so I was wrong thanks for clarifing though

[Irishborne]

@Moongoose86 Actually, there were a very large group that was known as celtic that inhabited the areas now known as ireland scotlan, England, Wales, France and Spain. There were the goidelic (gaels) Picti peoples of scotland, Bretons (brythonic speaking celts), and the Gaulish (those from gaul being france and part of spain) and also the Cymry peoples of Wales and the Cornish people of cornwall.

[Moongoose86]

@Irishborne you dont have to explain what i JUST explained. and i know the history without using wikipedia thank you i was born and raised in ireland. the scotts came from a different branch of celts. which is why there version of gaelic is completely different than any of the four dialects of irish gaelic. , as is welsh, as is cornish.

[Irishborne]

@Moongoose86  you need'nt be such a self-righteous a prick. I could honestly not give less of a damn whether or not you are from Ireland. I simply added to what you had said, nothing more.You should work on your ability to socialize with people, unless of course you relish being known far and wide as a great ass. I think there are many who are disinclined to part with the years that talking to you shears off their lives, so please think before you make such pugnacious comments.

[Emerald007007]

@Theforgottenmist other way around bro

[RIXLAZZZ]

@Theforgottenmist if you mean spain by the iberian pennensula, then yes you are correct. not all irish tho proberly about 40%, its not a theory btw

[glaveror]

I only saw The Cannons and I will never ever forgive myself for not going to see The Dubliners when I was 16 years old. Damn!!!

[minimoongurll]

I have to say, even though I enjoyed this version of Spanish Lady, I really do like the Celtic Woman's version better.

[Noraxy100]

god i love the dubliners since i was at a concert with my mum at the age of 13 now i'm going to be 28 ;)

[carloacsiena]

Io me lo guardo bene prima di ascoltare una brutta canzone dei Dubliners.Ma questa è bellissima!!!!!!!!!

[Farmand23]

The song is GREAT. But so much better live. Just been to a concert with them. It was epic.

[Wolfbane5555]

its the same rhythm as the ettrick lady which the corris sing, they're both great song's.

It must be great to be a folk singer

[Wolfbane5555]

its the same rhythm as the ettrick lady which the corris sing, they're both great song's.

[MyDoley]

Origionally sang by ronnie drew. the lead singer of the dubliners

[zach2518]

everyone knows that God came from the great state of Missouri!

[redevil1982]

Though I'm German, after this song I wished I were Irish !

[BoudiccaBlanc]

@redevil1982

[CanRockerguit]

[cdmancdman]

[Glenn600ad]

i think Sean Cannon should be the main singer for them. i'm just not as big of a patsy fan.

[Veovis523]

@carteirosan La canción habla de una española muy bella que vive en Dublín.

[leistifreund1]

15 people nerver see a spanish lady! :D

[leahcleire]

[SMartyn1000]

[nikyta30989]

A Spanish lady... cause she was from Spain... super explanation !!

[jamierourketen]

were is ronnie drew the ''voice'' of the dubliners???

[GibsonKLO]

@jamierourketen You know he is dead right ?

[kerstmanneke82]

@GibsonKLO At that time he wasn't. Although, to me Luke and Ciaran are just as much the voice of the Dubliners as Ronnie is.

[mark17781]

great tune

[lilwolf27]

who are these 15 people!

[fries09]

@lilwolf27

The Spanish man 

[MrJacktop]

LOVE IT

[DLXTREM]

I imagine this song with snow falling , cause almost all singers it seems Santa claus XD! ( Very nice song ) I love this group :) I LIKE IT

[dameblanche81]

I'm from Germany and I love this music since I was little. It always cheers me up. Love it!!

[TurboHenne333]

@dameblanche81 genau wir ich...seit ich ein lütten bengel bin liebe ich die dubliners! in dem sinne! cheers germany!

[CareBearCountdown]

This is the song I imagine me grandda sang to mi abuelita when they met. Even though she probably didn't understand a single word he said.

[UO83395]

Is a great song by a great band, I am from Asturias (Spain) and here this music is very popular

[nbmufc94]

Many irish people are spanish (latino) looking

[WhiskeyMikeNinerTwo]

@nbmufc94 The Celts were originally from the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), so it's not entirely uprising that there's a resemblance.

So I guess being Scots-Irish and Portuguese means I get a double dose of Celtic goodness!

[Sapphire848]

I'm used to the Celtic Woman version but this is a great take on it. Very Irish and folky :D I love it!

[EintrachtFan97]

Traumhaft

from germany

[AndyzCelcius]

2:07 PRETTY GIRLS !

[CallMetheRED]

I wish I could be irish

[darren4011]

@CallMetheRED dont blame you mate.. great feelin lol

[Ciaro869]

@CallMetheRED y where r u from

[CallMetheRED]

@Ciaro869 I'm from Catalonia(Spain) dude

[SweetSnakeBzz]

This song always reminds me of Brendan Murray, who sang to me last summer. Thank you very much. I hope to see you next Easter week. (It's me, the Spanish Lady, who else?)

[TANTRIK21]

Whats his name

[SjakBrouwer]

@TANTRIK21 If you're looking for the name of the singer, it's Sean Cannon.

[TANTRIK21]

Great song. From A Glasgow Rangers Fan

[Albertosi91]

I'm spanish but i have been living in dublin for a few months, and it`s like my second home

[StivoPoland]

great!

[torvovenator]

Im proud to have spanish, irish and sicilian blood.

[zarthered]

@torvovenator lol, your a proud Black Irishman, cheers to ya mate!

[torvovenator]

@zarthered do you mean in skin?

[zarthered]

@torvovenator skin, hair, and eye color wise. its the traditional term for Irish natives who have Spanish blood.

[TheGentl3man]

@zarthered

Traditional? ask a native and you'll get some puzzled looks, theres no test of who has what blood or not btw, what you are referring to is a MYTH about some ancient ships told as a childs story, modern genetics shows that ALL irish people in general share certain genetic traits, yet they can have a wide variety of looks (phenotypes), the term in modern times is an entirely american phenomena as early stereotypes portrayed irish as one way and nothing else, not so in the homeland.

[sterlingsilverf]

I must admit, the Celtic Women does it better

[metalmoonrising]

@sterlingsilverf You must be deaf or joking...listen to their live version of this song...it sucks.

[zwerverbeer]

nice intro xD

[ch0215]

Seán Cannon is the best

[Bradyvilleboy]

Most excellent.

[Bradyvilleboy]

Wonderful.

[thereelrubbaduckee]

How many of the original Dubliners are still alive? Couldn't find out neither with google nor yahoo or any other search engine.

[SMartyn1000]

@thereelrubbaduckee just the two these days, barney and john...sean and eamon have been there for a long time aswell

[LilyD1994]

@thereelrubbaduckee The only founding member alive is Barney though...

[thereelrubbaduckee]

@LilyD1994 John Sheahan died also?? When? Couldn't find anything on the web again. Do you have any links, please?

I'm working on a series of short articles in a german blogcommunity and the Dubliners are on the list of Artists to be featured.

Thanks for the informations everybody!

[LilyD1994]

@thereelrubbaduckee He's still alive, but he wasn't one of the original four Dubliners.

[thereelrubbaduckee]

@LilyD1994 Ah, learned something new. Thank you!

[JohnPreston0157]

@LilyD1994 yeah but u can say that John is one of the "classical" Dubs, cuz hes been there since 1964

[Mdesmyttere]

I love Ireland! greetings from Belgium

[MrGallagher1888]

One of my favourite songs of all time. God Bless the Dubliners!

[ArtPolo1990]

i love them!!!

simply amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arthur from Italy

[MusicVampire11]

lmao its called the spanish lady cause of the lady that was from spain lol made me laugh my ass off XD

[flanncada]

@MusicVampire11 I always thought that 'Spanish Lady' was a euphamism for a lady of the night. One version refers to the Provost Marshal which would indicate the singer was a member of the army garrison. I once heard a version which also referred to - ' a hellfire rake' - as in the 18th Century Hellfire Club in the Wicklow mountains.

[Tryssya1]

@flanncada

You are correct, reference in early folk songs of Britain (not only Ireland), to a Spanish Lady' was a reference to a prostitute. The same reference occurs in a sea shanty 'Adieu and Farewell, to you Spanish Ladies'

[flanncada]

@Tryssya1 Yes but it has more to do with the uptight morals of 19th Century Dublin. Rather like the soldiers of WW1 who believed that all French women shared the morals of the estaminets and cantinas. There are other versions which refer to the 'Provost Marshal' instead of watchman and 'Hellfire Rakes which would date it in the 18th Century, All of which makes Kathleen Ferriers rendition amusing and convinces me that Celtic Women rather miss the point though they are gorgeous

[Tryssya1]

@flanncada

Yes I agree. But you must remember that you are talking about an age, which was more course and more honest about the way they felt. Songs do not tell lies, and just because a song does not express what you you feel, it does not make it untrue.

[LittleLadyLou]

I love it. Did you hear the version of the celtic women as well?

[XxxSaraxxX2k8bby]

Wile good hi !!!!!

[markstief]

the two blond beautiesin this vid! ahhHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Huldumavur]

@markstief Patsy Watchorn's (the Banjoplayer) daughters.

[markstief]

miss ronnie like a life of hell

[Elisson3851]

Awsome

[KittyStarlight]

Actually this is too good a song to waste it by quarreling in front of it.

(dances to music ^___^)

=^___^=

[KittyStarlight]

@DurtDurty,

Sorry for calling you a moron. I didn't really mean it. (But you did call me a retard first. I'm not a retard and there IS such a thing as 1/64th and it does matter to some people. Maybe not to you, but...to some people.)

[cedricbeyerh]

ein klasse Song

[ziviogaannj]

Croat Irish resistance brotherhood forewer!Gerat song, so refreshing, Jesus bless you all!

[roderick17]

What a great piece of Irish music played by a group of trully inspirational balladeers !!

[BardOfNortonshire]

Absolutely amazing. I really love the driving, up-tempo violin introduction.

And when Sean jumps an octave at 0:35....well that was just awesome.

[sxv32idf]

good song! wish i could find the studio version though

[atrain5934]

Ive seen both this and the Celtic Woman version of the song. They both are amazing . Its hard to tell which is better because they eeach bring different peices to the table. In terms of actual Irish soul however this version is better

[marcel111281]

Is folamh fuar e teach gan bean

[TheLani89]

Die Band gefällt mir sehr gut! Der Sänger und alle anderen auch verstehen ihr Handwerk.

[jannie251]

this is amazing!!! i heard this bij CELTIC WOMAN and it is both PERFECT!!! <3

[JollyMaxMartin]

how can a joke get you every single time you hear it...even after hearing it the, I guess, 1000th time??? must be an irish one..must be from the dubliners!!

[zaaritha]

Absolutely great!
