Such a wonderous song. Done so beautifully................xxx
-
It is believed the lyrics were set to this melody by a European composer whose name at the moment eludes me. George Thomson had already detached the lyrics from Burns' original choice "Rory Dall's Port", and set it to a quite attractive tune called "The Secret Kiss".....He did that a lot!

@siliconglen I love this version. IIRC, Karen first sang this song at the Celebration of Women concert at Celtic Connections 1996 This tune resembles 'Hi Horo ’s na Horo Eile' but is in fact another Gaelic air which appears in the Simon Fraser Collection, the English title being "My Love Today as Heretofore" or, in some translations "as Yesterday". .

You're right it's not Rory Dall's Port but this later tune used for the Ae fond kiss lyrics is more or less the same as Hi Horo ’s na Horo Eile, whether this came before the lyrics by Burns or not, I don't know: Translation here: sniff.numachi.com/pages/tiHIHO

"Fare thee weel my first and fairest". Agony...!

Can not watch without tears......Simply, stunningly, beautiful....

Beautifully sung !

cannot match the heart felt comments that i have been honoured to read here and think how an age old song can be moved to such a modern medium as the internet...truly humans span a wide spectrum of sensibilities and invention

As seasons lose their shape,s colours and illuminations...
there are some compensations in living in a shoitey little Country with views beyond our navel fluff

This is my favorite rendition of this heartbreakingly beautiful song. Every time I hear it, I remember all the ones I've loved who are no longer with us.

My favourite rendition of this song ever. Karen has the voice touched by an Angel.
