I'm not too up on the Gaelic song world, but this one got to me when I first saw it on Tranatatlantic Sessions, and it's been lying in my head,. dormant until I rediscovered it here. It's so beautifully sad, so mournful that you simply can't help but be moved by it The pipes at the end only add to this feeling. I've never heard anone else sing it, but I can't imagine anyone else COULD sing it as well as Karen - she's made it her own

This is a painting that has come alive the most beautiful painting I have ever seen in my 70 years of living. Every detail every nuance. I've already played it 30 times and it pulls every heart string in my being!

Broken my heart, lonely my life
With my darling child lying here and me tormented
It is the end of my world, my little red-haired girl
Laid out in Crucán na bPáiste

Hi, what dialect is she using? I found I could follow quite a good deal , [Munster Irish is my own Gaelic] I know she is a Scottish Gael. It is so sad, to loose a child is a pain that won't go away. Moran Thang.
Keep on replaying this. Absolutely beautiful and spine tingling. The live performance was met with a stunned silence then rapturous applause so its not just me.
