"The Parting Glass" - Freddie White​


Of all the money that e'er I spent
I've spent it in good company
And all the harm that ever I did
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

Oh, all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I loved
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all

If I had money enough to spend
And leisure to sit awhile
There is a fair maid in the town
That sorely has my heart beguiled
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
I own she has my heart enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
 
I remember many years ago I love to hear to songs of Celtic Women, this song struck me recently, and to be quite honest, I thought I was being mind controlled, I couldn't get it out of my head. What was it.

Nella Fantasia


And the translation:

Nella Fantasia​

In My Fantasy​


In my imagination I see a fair world,
Everyone lives in

Unfortunately, I cannot find a translation to post, unless you link to the website above, so much for a fair world, when one lives in a woke ideology.
 
Speaking of Celtic songs, I love this rendition of Siúil a Rún set to the backdrop of Aragorn & Arwen from LOTR. First heard it in the show Riverdance and have loved it ever since!

Wings - "Mull Of Kintyre"​


Mull of Kintyre
Oh, mist rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to be here
Oh, Mull of Kintyre

Far have I travelled and much have I seen
Dark distant mountains with valleys of green
Past painted deserts the sunsets on fire
As he carries me home to the Mull of Kintyre

Mull of Kintyre
Oh, mist rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to be here
Oh, Mull of Kintyre

Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen
Carry me back to the days I knew then
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir
Of the life and the times of the Mull of Kintyre

Mull of Kintyre
Oh, mist rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to be here
Oh, Mull of Kintyre

Smiles in the sunshine and tears in the rain
Still take me back where my memories remain
Flickering embers grow higher and higher
As they carry me back to the Mull of Kintyre

Mull of Kintyre
Oh, mist rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to be here
Oh, Mull of Kintyre

Mull of Kintyre
Oh, mist rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to be here
Oh, Mull of Kintyre
 
Was listening to old 80s souvenirs on youtube and this one grabbed my attention. Of course i remember the song (but was not able to name it), but what really pleased me in the second part of the clip, which is a video montage, was all these people dancing. Some would say that it's "kitch", but i could not help smiling all the time and made me want to dance ... it was really ... contagious (at least i didn't start to dance in my room but the tentation was there).
In a nutshell : good emotions !

So, if you watch it and feel the same ... then we'll be 2 :wow: :whistle:
