Caledonia - celtic tenors and dervish in sligo
Музыка
Caledonia
Dougie MacLean
I don't know if you can see
The changes that have come over me
In these last few days I've been afraid
That I might drift away
So I've been telling old stories, singing songs
That make me think about where I came from
And that's the reason why I seem
So far away today
Oh, but let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia you're calling me
And now I'm going home
If I should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything
I've ever had
Now I have moved and I've kept on moving
Proved the points that I needed proving
Lost the friends that I needed losing
Found others on the way
I have kissed the ladies and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying
I have traveled hard with coattails flying
Somewhere in the wind
(Chorus)
Now I'm sitting here before the fire
The empty room, the forest choir
The flames that could not get any higher
They've withered now they've gone
But I'm steady thinking my way is clear
And I know what I will do tomorrow
When the hands are shaken and the kisses flow
Then I will disappear

The first song I ever heard performed by The Celtic Tenors. Always a favorite of mine and wonderful special memories are attached to this song... I remember coming home one day and hearing my mom playing this song from inside the house. As I was walking towards the door hearing..."Let me tell you that I love you And I think about you all the time Caledonia you're calling me, now I'm goin' home But if I should become a stranger Know that it would make me more than sadCaledonia's been everything I've ever had."-- I went into the house and gave my mom a big hug and told her I loved her. She smiled her lovely smile, told me "hush up!" "The Celtic Tenors are on!" - She was listening to my new CD that a special friend "Hoober" introduced had us to.-- I always look forward to seeing you perform when I get the chance. -- My Best Thanks to you all!
I am from the Philippines but when I hear this song, I feel that it speaks of my own country :D It's so beautiful. And it talks about a universal feeling.

Hibernia has always been one of my dream places to visit. :D
thank God, It was such a terrible summer last year but we can actually go outside this year, nuts. greetings from Meath, (where the best pint of Guinness is served, incidentally in Kiernan's pub)
Great video. Love the FDNY shirt. Is the guy wearing it American?
Why? This song is about Scotland.
Dervish is great as always- but the singers kills the beauty of dougies song.
Beautiful. I`m dreaming if Ireland.
