The notes echo a certain longing for times past. Will plays the Irish slow aire, "For Ireland I'd Not Tell Her Name" on a Dixon whistle in the key of A.

  • Megan, what are the lyrics? In English, please- my Gaelic is hopeless:)

  • I'm sorry, but I don't think I am of much help in English -- or in Irish. I don't know the names at hand, but I'm certain there are internet sites that have that sort of thing -- lyrics and such. Good luck in locating the lyrics, and thanks a thousand times for watching our video!

    ~Megan

  • Très grand !

  • Will a dit que vous êtes très aimable. Merci!

    ~Megan

  • man i gotta o tell you that when you seek for a good song played with a lot of soul you have to be aware not to judge the "click" you give to your mouse by the look of the hat of the man with the whistle :)

  • Thanks, I think . . .

    ~Megan

  • this is beautiful..

  • Basically the story is a beutiful multitalented (naked lol) women emerges from the woods to a mans farm, she says to tell nobody her name or that she exists or she will have to leave. at the kings races he proclaims nobody could win him in the race, the man says he has a wife hes so good at everything she could, she is pregent at the time but a word of honor forces her too against her will. She gives birth in the race and trampels her twins and curses the man of ulster with birth pangs

  • @meganmurphy1212 he plays beautifully
