Down by the Sally Gardens-Maura O'Connell with Karen Matheson

Музыка

Maura O'Connell (with Karen Matheson) performs W.B. Yeats' Down by the Sally Gardens on Season 2 of BBC/RTE co-production: TransAtlantic Sessions. Lyrics below.
Down by the sally gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the sally gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I being young and foolish with her did not agree.
In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.
Repeat #2

    English for me used to be distant and far out of reach for me... and now I feel so fortunate to be surrounded with lots of great works written and performed in this language. I first read W. B. Yeats's Down by the Sally Gardens and I was deeply moved by how time flies and how it makes people's remembrance of the past have such a great impact upon all of us. And now, listening to this song performed by the very talented Irish singer Maura O'Connell makes me believe art is our universal language. True talents do stand the test of time!

    I learned this beautiful song when I lived in Galway, Ireland for 11 years. Now, back in Germany, I have performed it a few times with my own Galway Girl Laura. And for the past few months, this has been a standard lullaby for our 5-months-old half Irish-half-German daughter Tara. One of the most beautifully sentimental songs I have the fortune to know. Beautiful performance, too!

It's an Irish folk song and only singers like Maura can give it creedence. IMHO...So gorgeous thank you for posting. My choir is singing this, I hope we do it justice but it is your version I listen to.
