Cliffs of Doneen

You may travel far far
From your own native land,
Far away o'er the mountains,
Far a-way o'er the foam.
But of all the fine places
That I've ever been,
Sure there's none can compare
With the cliffs of Doneen.

Take a view o'er the mountains,
Fine sights you'll see there.
You'll see the high rocky mountains
O'er the west coast of Clare
Oh the town af Kilkee
And Kilrush can be seen
From the high rocky slopes
Round the cliffs of Doneen.

It's a nice place to be
On a fine summer's day,
Watching all the wild flowers
That ne'er do decay.
Oh the hares and lofty pheasants
Are plain to be seen
Making homes for their young
Round the cliffs of Doneen.

Fare thee well to Doneen,
Fare thee well for a while.
And to all the kind people
I'm leaving behind
To the streams and the meadows
Where late I have been
And the high rocky slopes
Round the cliffs of Doneen.

charming rendition . Elizabeth Kaplan.  She sings in Gaelic also.

[baroquemusician1]

Wow, nice. She sings well, and I like the instruments they used - they look like they are period instruments? Cool!

Loaded with beautiful tension

[yilingseele]

Classy , beautiful , peaceful . Wonderful video !

[zwirbert]

Das ist einfach schön! Wirklich! Es wird soviel Musik gemacht, die einfach nur um die Spieler kreist. Image-Musik. Sooo viel. Es bleibt da übrig: Was für ein bewunderungswürdiger Spieler. Aber hier...bleibt eine Berührung des Herzens zurück. Das ist ....wirklich einfach schön!
