So true. I've seen her in another vid on youtube with De Danann when she was much younger. She already had a wonderful voice, higher and purer, but here i hear a deeper sorrow and feeling. This is one of the most moving performances ever

Ce n'est pas une mélodie bretonne, pourtant !...

Wonderful version!

There is but one problem with it: in the second stanza, Yeats wrote:
"She bid me: take LIFE easy...", and, for some reason, Maureen missed this and sings: "take LOVE easy", as in the first one.

This is one of the main points of the whole poem -- the relationship is over, love isn't mentioned anymore...

Strange glitch indeed..!
