I had no idea that this song goes back at least 300 years. That goes to show, doesn't it? Humans may be fleeting, but art is immortal. Long live Celtic Woman!

The lyrics of the verses of that song go back 10 years. Brendan Graham wrote them for CW. The original song of which only the chorous survives in the CW song goes back to 1972. But the original 1972 song was constructed from verses taken from poems written in the early to mid 18th century. The history and explanation of the song with the original is available as a comment here. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qI6flsaGm6jboJs.html

This makes me proud to be Irish....I'm Greek.

Irish women. So uniquely indescribable. Saying angels would be an understatement.

I have fallen in love with Irish music. The voices are amazing and violinist perfomance is just breathtaking!!!

Each member of this particular line-up evokes a certain metaphor for me: - Susan: Mother Nature at her gentlest. - Éabha: THE Celtic queen. - Mairéad: The Lady of the Lake. - Tara: The embodiment of the seasons. Terrific.

love this, if i can add something Susan is Spring with the kind gentleness she evokes Tara is Summer with her jovial yet passionate disposition Éabha is Autumn with the cozy warmth of her voice, and Mairéad is Winter with her piercing, icy tone

I left home over 50 years ago but when I listen to this music I well up and think of the old country I left behind. Although I have made my home in England I still love Ireland with a passion.

If the original fiddler was like fairy, then tara is like a redhair warrior.

Who doesn’t like beautiful women with beautiful singing voices making beautiful music?

love the young lady @ 2:21 singing along..great stuff:)

I love the dresses in this performance. I love how they're all different styles and shades but they compliment each other at the same time. I also love how the dresses seem to reflect the singers singing styles and personality. I just love everything about these women and all the work that goes into making each performance breathtaking.

Awesome violinist! Amazing voices! Always touched my heart with your voices, songs, and performances. Bravo!

To eabha close my eyes and just listen to this beautiful voice, unfortunately I don't understand everything because my English was decades ago. But this soft, melodic voice ... No matter what happened during the day. Listening is very good. I wish you all the best and all the best. Thank you. Greetings from Germany. G. R.

I love these gals, they move my soul.

Beautiful in every way! Bravo to everyone involved - the singers, musicians, producers, editors, set crew, costume and makeup crew, camera people, and the support staff! I've just added it to my KZread playlist, "Celtic Woman favorites - best songs - David B mix." My great grandfather and great grandmother came from Ireland in the mid-1800s - I'm proud to be of Irish descent, especially when Celtic Woman comes to visit America!

This song fills me with so much happiness. Absolutely beautiful.

the double twirl at the end..simply amazing stuff!

this is by far my favorite lullaby, it puts my cousins right to sleep when i sing it

I never tire of their music. What an amazing group of people

Much love from Palestinian 🇵🇸🇮🇪😍

I love the almost battle theme sound that this version of the song has! Eabha's line at 1:55 is just epic!

Stunning. Brilliant.

Great song, I saw the original group many years ago performed it, I still consider it the best version

Ok now that Susan has announced that she is leaving for her baby, I notice a similarity in her performance in tis video similar to one in the last special Lisa Kelly was in. Back then Lisa knew it was her last one so it looked like she gave it even more than her all like 120%, and seeing this it looks like Susan was doing the same like she knew for a while that this was to be her last DVD shoot.

@@daniellovesdisney5730 I have to agree with you. I think the reason why she gave her all in this DVD was most likely because it had been so many years since they last performed in Ireland, let alone filmed a special there (the previous to be filmed in Ireland was Home for Christmas in 2012). Obviously she would have given her all as she was performing in her home country again after such a long time.

This isn't a bad version either. So my preference of the song's renditions are: 1. Slane Castle - Lisa, Orla, Chloe, Meav, and Hayley 2. Celtic Thunder w/the late George Donaldson 2. 3 - Mairead C, Susan and Eabha PS. I have a slight bias to Fiddler Mairead. She's the best.
