Onóir-Sweet Sixteen Music Video
Here is our version of 'Sweet Sixteen', originally written many moons ago in 1898 by James Thornton.
This song is incredibly nostalgic for a lot of Irish households ever since the great Finbar Furey adapted it in 1981 and created what is now regarded as one of the truly classic Irish ballads of our time.
Onóir recorded this music video in the famous Forge Bar in Donegal Town and we would like to extend our most sincere thanks to The Sweeney Family for letting us take over their legendary pub for the evening 💚.
We hope you enjoy what is now our 5th music video as a band.
Onóir ❤️
Lyrics:
When first I saw the love-light in your eyes
I dreamed the world held not but joy for me
And even though we drifted far apart
I never dream but what I dream of thee
I love you as I never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green
Come to me or my dream of love is or
I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
I love you as I never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green
Come to me or my dream of love is or . .
I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
I love you as I never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green
Come to me or my dream of love is or . .
I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen

Beautiful totally beautiful what a voice and great musician's 🇮🇪
An outstanding version by any measure. What a group! Wow
I have been listening to that song since I was very young - we had it on an old 78 recording (not sure who?) I loved it then but Onoir takes it to next level - Beautiful !!!! 👋👋👋👋
This is my absolute favourite song. I’ve loved it for so many years. I never imagined it could be taken to another level. This guy is amazing. I’m sure I’m not the only one to fall in love with him as he sings this.

I first heard him sing this many many months ago on a reel which only lasted 30 seconds. I've have been trying to find his name and listen to him sing the full song since then. Imagine my surprise when I searched on KZread again and I found it. I'm so so pleased. Fab voice x

This truly one of the most languorous and melancholic beautiful songs I have ever listened to! I have played it over and over and never tire. The delivery and arrangement are captivating to anyone listening who has a heart. ❤

Find myself coming back to this vid just to listen to the banjo. Not that its not a great cover but the banjo......yeah
I will happily die listening to him. He is so everything. The man of my dreams. My life is over but I can go out listening to him
I'm stunned, what a beautiful rendition, the musicians were brilliant, that banjo playing broke my heart and the singer, what a voice he has, tis mighty. Finbar Furey has always been my favourite for this song but he has competition now.
Fantastic! How can he sing so well without even opening his mouth? I also love Tommy Fleming’s alto version, also very beautifully sung.
What a pleasure to listen to a song sang from the heart. It has always been my favourite. Ps. Great harmony’s ☘️👍🇮🇪Tommy
What a great voice i could listen to his voice all day long!

I just heard this on a PBS show about Irish food. It literally stirred something in my soul that I cannot put into words. Couldn’t deny my Celtic ancestry if I tried. It is in my DNA. Love, love, love this.

What an incredible voice! Love it! Beautiful version of a beautiful song.

I love your version of this it reminds me of my recently passed Dad. We used to sing together with my daughter and paid homage to our Irish roots with a whole set of traditional Irish songs- this had me in floods today- so beautifully crafted by you all. I may pay a visit to see my relatives and track you down at a gig sometime. Feeling a bit fragile atm but thank you for bringing me some lovely memories today - Jackie ☘️
