***** If I'm lucky I'll be staying in Ireland next year for the month of January, for a school trip! I tried for it this year but didn't get it. It sounds like a fantastic time over there though. And actually just for the hell of it I've been learning Irish/Gaelic (or I suppose, Gaelige) lately. I don't know much yet lol. However I believe if you were going to reenact a certain scene from Lord of the Rings, you could tear off a helmet (or a hat) and dramatically cry "Ní fear mé!" ;)

Near Banbridge town, in the County Down One evening last July Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín And she smiled as she passed me by. She looked so neat in her two bare feet To the sheen of her nut-brown hair Such a coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself To make sure I was standing there. From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay From Galway to Dublin town No maid I've seen like the fair cailín That I met in the County Down. As she onward sped I shook my head And I gazed with a feeling queer And I said, says I, to a passerby "Who's your one with the nut-brown hair?" He smiled at me, and with pride says he, "She's the gem of old Ireland's crown. Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann And the star of the County Down." From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay From Galway to Dublin town No maid I've seen like the fair cailín That I met in the County Down. She'd a soft brown eye and a look so sly and a smile like the rose in June And you held each note from her auburn throat, as she lilted lamenting tunes At the pattern dance you'd be in trance as she skipped through a jig or reel When her eyes she'd roll, as she'd lift soul And your heart she would likely steal From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay From Galway to Dublin town No maid I've seen like the fair cailín That I met in the County Down. At the harvest fair she'll be surely there and I'll dress my Sunday clothes With my hat cocked right and my shoes shon bright for a smile from the nut-brown Rose No horse I'll yoke, or pipe I smoke, 'til the rust in my plough turn brown And a smiling bride by my own fireside sits the star of the County Down From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay From Galway to Dublin town No maid I've seen like the fair cailín That I met in the County Down. She'd a soft brown eye and a look so sly and a smile like the rose in June And you held each note from her auburn throat, as she lilted lamenting tunes At the pattern dance you'd be in trance as she skipped through a jig or reel When her eyes she'd roll, as she'd lift soul And your heart she would likely steal From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay From Galway to Dublin town No maid I've seen like the fair cailín That I met in the County Down.

Well, it just stays with the fast tempo of the chorus throughout the entire song. But this is only how they do live, their recorded version is like the one you know and love. I like this way better for live situations, because it really makes you want to dance and have a good time.

I like their album version where they start at a slow tempo, speed up for the harvest fair verse and then slow it back down. I imagine a tempo change like that would be murder in a live performance.

Charlie Gallagher I do like the album version as well for that reason (the dynamics), however I love this version as well; I like Celtic rock and this is, at least from what I've heard, the closest thing to being like a rock version of the song lol; but I have no joke like 7 versions of this song from slow, beautiful, and in the 3rd person to roarin' fast and foot slammin' (this one). lol
@BranMuzsick9 років тому
Charlie Gallagher your right, Charlie. They were alot slower on the album, but their tempos actually vary more in this version over the other. the album could be set to a click track, while the live version would be nearly impossible to.
