    As a Yank ( retired NYC firefighter] who has lived in Ireland the. past 12 years, no group of people in the world has captured the folly of life with its tragedies, successes, joy and sorrow has expressed it better than the Irish in its songs, written word and poetry. Love each other, no matter you’re geographic location or religious belief ( or non belief)

      Reading your comments. Well put indeed. I’m the proud son of a drogheda lady and your so right. There is an irony that the Irish have an ability to make the written word sound like a song or a poem. But then that’s the Irish for ya. Thanks Yankee boy and love to you all .💙❤️

    I cry every time I hear this song. And this time of year I'm feeling all the losses of my 52 years. Faces and voices that should be at the table tomorrow night for Thanksgiving dinner. And yet, my heart sings for having known them all. And this is just such a lovely lovely version of this song.

    Stop the disagreements and enjoy. I have ancestors of English , Irish , Welsh . My grandfather English , grandmother Irish on my fathers side. Welsh grandfather on mothers side English grandmother . I married here in South Africa her Dad Scotish ancestors her Mom of 1820 English . My sons born in Malawi , one married a girl with Scotish Ancestors, the other with Afrikaans & Hungarian ancestors. All music loved in our family and 5 beautiful grandchildren to love. 3 girls , twin boys . So those who feel the need to dispute origin of a song stop being petty . ENJOY RELAX .

    The song reminds me of the last time I was with old friends in a Dublin pub with pints of creamy Guinness all about and song in the air.
    Let’s hope that 2021 will see us all reunited: Irish at home, Irish emigrants, our new Irish and the diaspora around the globe. Till then, we raise a parting glass.

    Fiona Shaw must have had a cold, and despite that, she beautifully interpreted his poem. Great actress. Beautiful song. I've not a drop of Irish blood but have always had an affinity to Irish culture, especially their music. One day I hope to visit 🇮🇪! The Royal Albert has perfect acoustics. Go raibh maith agat

    Of all the money that e'er I had
    I spent it in good company
    And all the harm I've ever done
    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 to you all
    So fill to me the parting glass
    And drink a health whate'er befalls
    Then gently rise and softly call
    Good night and joy be to you all
    Of all the comrades that e'er I had
    They're sorry for my going away
    And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
    They'd wish me one more day to stay
    But since it fell into 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
    Fill to me the parting glass
    And drink a health whate'er befalls
    Then gently rise and softly call
    Good night and…
