Check out Paddy Reilly's version. He was with the Dubliners and recorded it during their 40th anniversary concert. His is the definitive version!

[silverviolette]

Photos de Sligo!!! Woooo!!!

[ddutruel]

@silverviolette

Vous connaissez Sligo ?

[silverviolette]

@ddutruel Je viens de Sligo!!

[ddutruel]

@silverviolette

J'ai fait le stage d'été de musique Irlandaise à Tubbercurry pour apprendre le Bodhran.

Je garde un très bon souvenir de ce pays et surtout de la sympathie et de la simplicité des gens.

Amitié,

Didier

I've seen them sing this, with Ronan, I always wondered why they didn't use three part harmony in the chorus,same with some other songs ,but always great anyway!

[IrishBull1987]

Amazing. God Bless the Tenors and Ireland. Brings tears to me eyes

[inverkenny]

it's a lovely song, but some tenors just cannot sing properly, woeful.

[PA22Flyer]

Stupendously magnificent! GOD Bless the Tenors and Ireland.

[ddutruel]

@PA22Flyer Que Dieu protège l'un et l'autre, car il font partis de mes souvenirs...

[joliva30maple]

Im Hispanic but as a Boston boy with many Irish friends and an Irish girl that loves me, and my love for Guiness. I feel like an honorary Irishman!

[ddutruel]

@joliva30maple Merveilleux ces Irlandais. Gardez leur amitié, elle a beaucoup de valeur...

[ddutruel]

@josparkes1 Une Irlande au passé... une Irlande que j'ai aimée... merci d'être passé et d'avoir laissé, sur ma chaine, toute ta pensée.

[TheAilill]

Magnifique Video ... Je suis irlandais ... Elle me touche ... L'irlande Vas mal en ce moment .. J'y vais tout les ans :) ... J'aimerais tellement que ces .... d'englais s'en aille une fois pour toute , qu'ils partent de toute l'irlande , Pas seulement le sud ... Irlande ... je t'aime .... Graoim tu eirenn... (Gaelique)

[liamthedream]

During the Famine, an Editorial in the English Morning Times stated " The Celts are going, going with a vengeance. Very soon, an Irishman will be as scarce on the banks of the Shannon as an Indian on the Banks of the Potomac. To-day, it gives me great pleasure to inform you that the Morning Times is gone and we are still here!!!!!

[ddutruel]

@liamthedream Merci de cette information.

Elle montre que derrière une information journalistique, il n'y a jamais qu'un être humain qui veut raisonner pour des milliers...

Un Irlandais ne se laissera jamais détruire sana réagir !!!

Amitié,

Didier

[RPenta]

@liamthedream Consider the import of that statement, even in the 1840's the elite British opinion was aware of the displacement and diminution of Native Americans.

[daddio7777777]

@liamthedream

Ireland is immortal... She refused to die. Follow the dream.

You will not believe it. I am not Irish, only my heart !

[hissphillips]

Bring tears to my eyes

[ddutruel]

Merci pour ce compliment qui me touche profondément.

Amitié,

Didier

[apache20ab]

superbe vidéo je vais surement partir en mai

[ddutruel]

Tu en as de la chance...

Rame nous une vidéo que je puisse voir l'évolution de ce pays si typique...

[sheena616]

tu me donnes envie d'y aller encore plus qu'avant, la c'est officiellement le plus grand rêve que j'ai: aller la bas

[ddutruel]

@sheena616 Oh que c'est gentil ce que tu me dis là...

Je te souhaite la réalisation de ton rêve.

amicalement

[Zibatarinmoosighi1]

ohhh my !!

i love this song so much !!

amacing voices and music ...

God bless Ireland !!

[liamthedream]

Athenry is in County Galway...in Gaelic "Ath-na- Riog" in English. The Home of the Kings. Ohhh Baby, Let the Free Birds Fly.........

[aagfgerad]

FWIW, I have no Irish ancestry, and yet the beauty and poignancy of this piece reaches/grabs deep. VERY deep. It's a wonder no one has made a movie around it. The Irish Tenors themselves make the piece even better. I don't get jealous of other men re: cars, money, possessions, looks, girls, or anything else - except for pipes. I sure wish I could sing like the IT's.

[ddutruel]

Très bonne réflexion. A qui faut-il souffler ton idées pour voir cette histoire sur les écrans ???

[aagfgerad]

Sorry about the delayed answer. I THINK you asked who, IMO, should direct a movie based on this song. Hard question. Ummm, a director who can handle a project w/reverence. Edward Zwick, who helmed Glory. Alan Parker, who helmed The Commitments. With some thought, I'm sure other folx could come up w/good suggestions. Who would you like to see helm this movie?

[seektheforce]

Yeah, It's kind of like listening to African American spirituals, though I'm not of African descent, they still grab you sometimes.

[dromede]

good bless ireland!!!!!

[ddutruel]

And you also

[vitaporst]

il faut mentionner aussi que ta traduction est très bonne!! bien que c'est plutot le blé que le mais:)

[IrishNProud93]

This makes me feel even more homesick, but its a beautiful song and its about such a terrible thing

[hayasa777]

God bless IRE. I love you my brothers and sisters.

Grtz, from Armenia

[iantonowful]

I kiss my Irish brothers and sisters and call upon God to bless them - may our Lord bless you

[ddutruel]

thank you for that thought

[iantonowful]

Listen to this

[crazycrazy73]

When you listen to this song please google the title to find out what it is about. THEN LISTEN AGAIN

[Luxontour]

after my first visit to dublin i made it to get 3 days free in oktober to come back. i love ireland.

greetings from a german living in luxembourg. i can't wait for october!!

[liobart]

j'ai habité la bas 3 semaines et franchement, se pays me manque. J'('étais a Dublin quel beau pays.

[ladyneedsluck]

Most Irish music touches my soul...have been there twice, would go back again in a heartbeat....and the lovely scenes with this video make me miss it!

[Bleizken226]

I miss Ireland...

[commando39260764]

je ne suis ni irlandais, ni breton, j'ai passé pleins de galères sans jamais rien demandé à dieu mais qu'il fasse que je ferme les yeux dans ce pays magique où les gens sont tellement vrai.

[celtispirit6604]

je suis d'origine irlandaise. J'y suis allez quand j'avais 15ans aujourd'hui je pense plus qu'a une chose: travailler pour retourner, sans retour cette fois

[ddutruel]

Plus on avance dans le temps, plus nos yeux découvrent le passé... Attention de ne pas chercher à le revivre. La déception est trop forte quand on s'aperçoit que même les êtres ne se sont pas restés figés le temps...

[tomkellycartoons]

Thank you. I'm the only one in my family who has not been to Ireland. One day, I will. Blessings to you.... :)

[ddutruel]

J'espère que tes voeux seront exaucés...

Garde confiance en l'avenir.

Amicalement

[tomkellycartoons]

Merci!

[sheena616]

tu n'aurais pas été au connemara des fois?

[ddutruel]

Que oui !!! pourquoi ???

[tomkellycartoons]

I can hardly sing this one without bursting into tears...and I don't even relate all that much to my Irish heritage. Maybe this proves it's 'in there." Thank you for the best, emotional version of this lovely, sad song.

[ddutruel]

Merci à toi. J'espère qu'un jour tu retournera à ton patrimoine...

[HelenSSpencer77]

Not only is this song a heartbreaker, but the magnificient voices of the Irish Tenors

makes it memorable in every way. The video is outstanding...looks like a beautiful place to live. This is one of my all time favorites. Thanks again

[ddutruel]

Thank you for all the compliments ...

[HelenSSpencer77]

Well, here it is 10:30 p.m. and I am once again listening to this addictive music, and fantastic video. Can't get enough ..I think I need 'rehab' to break my obsession with this awesome piece of music and accompanying film.! Wow

[goldenacacia]

Beautiful singing, beautiful words and beautiful video!

[ddutruel]

un grand merci. mais je n'y suis pour rien, ce pays parle de lui même. il n'a besoin de personne pour le rendre joili...

[goldenacacia]

no worries mate

[cantalou7301]

Merci beaucoup, c'est magique !

[HelenSSpencer77]

This song, by these guys, would make anyone cry...just beautiful.  Listen to it several times a week. Who wrote it???

[ddutruel]

"The Fields of Athenry" was written in the 1970s by Pete St. John. A claim was made in 1996 that a broadsheet ballad published in the 1880s had similar words; however folklorist and researcher John Moulden found no basis to this claim, and Pete St. John has stated definitively that he wrote the words as well as the music.

The song was first recorded in 1979 by Danny Doyle. The most successful version was released by Paddy Reilly in 1983.

[fighou88]

j'ai déjà visité ce pays, il est merveilleux !! ne rater jamais une occasion pour le découvrir

[bmcneese45a]

What a lovely video you made. Great song by the Irish Tenors. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[bigbeninjax]

Very nice! You've captured much of the beauty of Ireland. Nice job and thanks for posting to my video....an honour!

[sharylm]

Lovely - I miss Ireland! And the Irish Tenors are still going strong and are fantastic.

[ddutruel]

Merci, je suis allé sur ta chaine et j'ai eu plaisir à retrouver les "Irish Tenors" merci beaucoup.

[ANTOONMAKA]

Très beau avec de belles images qui donnent envie de découvrir le pays!

[ddutruel]

merci.

Il est vrai que ce pays est magnifique. Reste à savoir s'il le restera...

L'Europe à de beaux avantages pour le développement de ses ressortissants, mais à quel prix!

[galinka53]

Come on Munster!

[telstar1971]

Absolutely beautiful.

[ddutruel]

Many thank for you
