"Nothing matters Mary when you're free" One of the greatest lines in all of Irish music.
I am from Mexico and I love the brave Irish people... their history, their beautiful country, their music and their beer... I will surely visit Ireland one day
Absolutely! The green Emerald Isle will welcome you like only she can 🍀
Batallón de San Patricio!!!
Exactly my friend! Saw the One Man Hero movie??
@@SinaTheilMusic Thank you! I first approached Irish history through the novel TRINITY
I am from Ireland and I visited Mexico often on business. I was treated like family and I loved the Mexican people; so like Irish people in many ways😊😊
A native German, Ireland is the home of my heart, and I still plan to move to this island someday. And I just love this kind of music Thanks a million, Ladies, and please do more music together. 👍
Only the Germans helped the Irish. Supplied guns. We Gaels have not forgotten. God bless Germany.
And Ireland as well, pretty please, Mightty Lord. 🙂
Brilliant thanks
So blown away with the support and love on here for Sina and I's performance of 'The Fields of Athenry'. I know Sina really appreciates and so do I. Thanks a million guys for your kind comments, so happy you enjoyed our singing and video. Grá mór, Caitríona xx
Awesome, awesome, awesome! From someone who has just lately learned of her Irish ancestry! So proud! You guys rock!
lesanglais lesrosbifs
they have caused more damage to the world than any other race
You both deserve all the praise you get Caitriona. From an older Irish man living in Boston 33 years. I’m not ashamed to say I shed a small tear during your recital!!😘
@@tonymurray814 thank you so much Tony. Really appreciate your kind words
God bless the people of Ireland.
Like Ireland itself, this song is beautiful and haunting at the same time. Thanks ladies. 🇺🇸🇮🇪
I'm English and our history is tragic. I can't believe how beautiful these ladies are. What a song.
Does the tragedy include helping to get rid of Hitler
@@djw1421 That's a very interesting point as Alan Clarke wrote in a book pointing out the option we had of 'siding' with the Germans for the Anglo-Saxons are Germanic, and Hitler didn't want to fight us. He thought we were bungling idiots, which we are, but we did prevent the Americans from speaking Japanese (which eludes them) since had we done so, the Russians would have been rapidly quashed and the USA would have stood alone. But either way... we lost, destroyed our Empire, crippled ourselves and didn't pay off war debts until 2006.
Who cares what Hitler thought about the British. That foolish coward committed suicide.
@@johnbobson1557 Yes you helped us americans from speaking japanese lol good one.
@@johnbobson1557You appear quite delusional there. Oh well never mind. FYI our history I’d far from tragic.
In my old age, I sure find myself being attracted to Irish country music. What a splendid performance.
And probably attracted to these beautiful Irish ladies, yeah?
@@terencemageeShhh, don't tell anyone.
@@jayjaynella4539 This is Irish traditional music, or folk music. Not 'country' music.
How beautiful! My Gram left for the USA during this period alone at age 15. She never spoke of the loneliness starvation and hurt. You sang this so touchingly and humanly THANK YOU Go mbeannaí Dia thú araon
This is my favourite Irish song. Having been married to a Kilkenny woman for over 35 years before she passed.
Yank here, married to a lady with roots in County Clare. She sings this to me regularly. So sorry for your loss of your.
Amazing performance of Ireland’s soulful music……thank you both! God Bless Ireland and Happy St. Patrick’s day to you all!
Thank you and happy St. Patrick’s Day! Please share the video if possible 🍀
Paddy Reilly's versions have been my favorites so far, but now I've found a perfect and heart-touching rendition.
Thank you! His version is indeed beautiful, so we feel honoured!
Particularly, the one from a pub after someone’s Funeral, with many joining in on the choruses and several musicians playing along.
Agree
Beautiful, beautiful song and as Scot, 🏴, I have often wondered if an ancestor who was deported to Aus made it.
I reall enjoy Celtic woman also
Only the Irish could sing a song like this, and these two ladies give it the justice it deserves.
Well said mate! Regards from Queensland, Australia
These two ladies may indeed give it the justice it deserves, but a bit of contradiction in the comment though, as Sina Theil is German
I have since my 20s listened to Irish music on and off. Athenry fills me up and makes me cry even in my now late years. I have no idea why. My late father was from East Wall Dublin and Ive always had an interest in the Irish/English history. I served in the RN with Irish guys ( and worked for Irish firms as a machine driver when I became a civvy in the 70s) and at one time our ship went to Derry and we were out on an exercise and put into a small coastal town ( cant remember the name) on the edge of Donegal and anchored off. I was lucky to have gotten ashore in the liberty boat with about 14 others and headed for the nearest pub. A great storm blew up. A force 10 gale. They couldnt get us off so we stayed in the pub where the locals fed us and kept us in the black stuff all night. It was a massive party everyone was steaming. They had music as well and I knew a few rebel songs and these old guys kept coming over and giving me a hug. I had one hell of a hang over next day when the boat came in to get us off. Ill never forget it but I was only just 17 at the time.
BEATIFULLY STATED! LADIES
Two historic events that are not taught in my country of the UK. The HIghland Clearances in Scotland and The Great Famine in Ireland. Growing up as a child of Scotland in the 1970s, where even my local language of Doric was discouraged in school; I now understand why we were taught about other 'great' events. The two world wars and the industrial revolution. It's never too late to learn the shameful events.
I understand your feelings. My family emigrated from Ireland to Lancashire in UK like so many other Irish, due to an Gorta Mór. I have never even been to Ireland, or had the chance to learn the Gaelic. But there is another shameful event: Cromwell's intended genocide of the Irish people. In England they even have statues of that murdering bastard, streets are named after him, there is even a portrait of him in their parliament. In Germany they at least have the inner decency not to have a portrait of Adolf Hitler in the Bundestag, or to have any streets named 'Adolf-Hitler-Strasse'.
Lest we forget !!
the great difference is: Hitler lost. So his bad deed was seen. The bad deeds of the winners are called victory.
Sad. very sad.
Man, what a beautiful rendition, by two amazing ladies, and well-shot. As good as it gets.
Thanks so much! Delighted to hear that! 🤠🍀
a beautiful song sung by two equally charming young ladies ❤ r e s p e c t
As an Englishman, frequenting an Irish members club as often as I do, I've heard this song a million times, sang dozens of different ways. But this one brought me to tears. Cracking job, ladies. Erin Go Bragh! 🥲
Thank you very much for your support! Please share if you can 🙂
I'm in a shanty choir and one of our songs is "The Fields of Anthery", it's a song about a tragic event during the hunger crisis in Ireland. it is beautifully sung in two voices by Sina Tell and Caitriona O'Sullivan.
As a person from Athenry, I think this was a beautiful rendition, well done girls 👏🏼👏🏼❤
Thanks so much! Delighted to hear that! 😁 Please share with friends and family if possible 🍀
beautiful song sung by two equally charming young ladies ❤ r e s p e c t
I am a proud Scot and these Irish girls have won my heart. A beautiful Irish song performed with such feeling by two gorgeous young ladies. Love / Respect Keith 73yrs xxx 😥🙌🙏🫶❤️💜🏴🏴🏴
This song, the way the musicians play and the way these ladies sing so beautifully along with the sad tale they sing about always brings a lump to my throat. Gorgeous music!!
Thanks for listening! Please share!
Greetings from Estonia! This old Irish folk ballad is the pride of the Irish. An extremely beautiful performance from charming maidens. The song penetrates deep into the soul. I love this musical story with historical content! Beautiful! 🌏⚓⚓⚓
Not so old Was written in 1979
Thank you, Larry! What I do know is that the song was written by Pete StJohn. I was probably thinking about the content of the song about the events of 1840 in the history of the Irish.
This song has a special value for my entire family because I am an Australian of Irish descent from both my mother and father. I hope and pray that I will see a united Ireland before I die. I'm sure the entire world Irish diaspora would welcome and be thrilled to see Ireland reunited as one nation.
And would those Irish who hope and pray for Irish Unity come back home to the Island of Ireland and resettle here?
Its none of your business whether Ireland reunites or not. It's for the people who live there to decide. You diaspora types should stick to your own countries and stop interfering
M’urphy. U must bé a f&&king Orange man. My ancestors came ón the coffin ships from Gailway go back to f&& k britan you f&&ing prod 5:37
As an Irish Republican northern Ireland who lost a father to the Brits. This song is nice and hopefully one day Ireland will be unified.
A united Ireland is my dream too! I am so very sorry to hear about your dad ...
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
I am English, my wife from Hospital, County Limerick.
Six Nations Rugby aside we get on “shoulder to shoulder”!
One of my favourites. This song tugs at my Irish ancestral roots.
Daughters of Irish land in the green. Just lovely performance. Greetings grom far away Poland.
Greetings to you and the Polish people! Polish people are our courageous brothers & sisters. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for liberating us in the war.
Love these beautiful Irish songs, simple and perfectly performed

My great grandfather left Roscommon in the famine. Moved to Boston and dominated the primary care health scene in South Boston south end for next generation. Ireland strong!,
This song by the girls is like a fine wine gets better by age 💚🇮🇪💚🇮🇪💚
OMG !!! Beautiful ! And two beautiful ladies singing it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nicely sung by beautiful ladies
From England. Have many friends north and south of the border, have also studied Irish history. We both live on very small islands off the coast of Europe. Wales, Scotland, England and Ireland share a brutal but shared past. We are probably the most culturally diverse piece of land in the world. That saying ….Poke one with a stick and the other three will respond in support!
Never really listened to this song before. I mean really listened to it. Now I'm crying it's just so bloody perfect. Wonderful, girls, just wonderful
You ladies are beautiful, talented and sing with such love and harmony and feel melancholy for the good old days! I just stumbled on to your videos on TH-cam and loved your rich, warm and very homely sound. Please keep singing and entertaining us with such beautiful Irish songs!!😀💕❤🙏
Apart from this being a great song, the singing is exquisite. Well done lassies
I first heard this song about 40 years ago, and it still brings tears to my eyes.
Thanks for sharing ,,greetings a friend...i love the irish culture and heritage...Me i am just a humble car mechanic that wish the younger generation is blessed and happy....my wish...greetings UN soldier with a heart ....no more war...keep your head up and be proud of who you are...Irland in my heart...Thanks for sharing..The show goes on....my heart will rest in the waves at sea....
You're a fantastic person, Fred. Bless you.
This song is about love and what you take for granted until it has gone ! The first time I heard it was in Tenerife by an Irish lady called Michelle, I went In the Bullshead every night just to hear her sing it and fell in love with irish singers and folklore such as Luke Kelly . This is a very lovely cover Thankyou 😍
Thanks for this song.I'm from Poland(I live in England 18years)and I discovered my Irish roots according to dna test and I'm discovering culture of my grandparents. I'm pride that Poland and Ireland always fight about freedom ❤ 4:07
wauw, that's great! We admire the Polish people! Such immense courage always.
A wonderful version of the old folk song...! I can't imagine that about 1.000.000 irish people died because of starving from 1845-49! Thanx to you both Sina & Caitriona ! Well done! 🥰
And another 1,000,000 or more had to leave everything behind and emmigrate in harsh conditions to save their lives...
When I here this song it reminds me of my nan and grandad who despite both being Scottish have Irish ancestry and went to a local Irish club where I grew up and when this was sung my grandad would sing along and it brings a tear to my eye as I remember them as they are no longer with us ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful sung brings tears too my heart 😢❤☘️☘️☘️☘️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🌹
aw thank you so much Richard! Glad you liked it
Thank you!! A truly heartbreaking story… but beautiful song all the same
If someone had said to me songs get you crying, I would have said your joking then I hear About Me Now by Reba Mcentire and Any rendition of Fields of Athenry do it as said previously this is the best female version I have heard of it
@@SinaTheilMusic they where hard times hopefully we will move forward too better times God bless 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏
Always wants to make me cry. I pray for a united, independent and Prosperous Ireland.
Me too.
Keep singing beautiful Irish dongs ladies. Nice harmony and beautiful telated backgrounds. I may not have the opportunity to visit Ireland but looking at you beautiful ladies plus the scenic backgrounds tells me Ireland is a beautiful historic country!
My favourite Irish song sung by the most beautiful Irish ladies. Thank you for making this special song even more beautiful.❤
Hi. So beautiful and sung so beautifully by you two young ladies thank you for sharing. Please take care . “Beautiful Harmony “ please keep 🎶 singing such beautiful Irish songs. 🇮🇪☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Greetings from Finland! I love this version of that beautiful melody. Sang by you two very beautifully!
My dad came from Cork and fought the Black and Tans for Ireland’s freedom. There history of repression is very sad.
I can listen to this song a thousand times, and it still sounds beautiful.
Great version with two beautiful female voices. Well done ladies.☘❤☘
Thank you so much! Glad you like it!
thanks so much Tony!
🎉just loved this rendition really tugs at the heart strings great harmonies ..... sláinte Agus táinte
Such a beautiful rendition by Sina and Caitriona.
Most beautiful song I’ve heard in a long while. Makes me think of an old photo I have that was taken in Dublin in the late 1800’s of my grandmother and great grandmother. As a teenager my grandmother and a girlfriend of hers later came to America by themselves, brave girls. They’ve all passed long ago but all things Irish make me tear up.
Love this rendition. I'm from Australia and I've loved this song since hearing the late Denis O'Keeffe perform it with accordionist Bernadette Zabawa (nee Conlon) at the Port Fairy Folk Festival about 30years ago.
One of most beautiful Irish song by two beautiful ladies with a magic voice... thanks so much from France
Absolutely brilliant. The best I've heard and sung by two beautiful ladies.
A beautiful Irish story sung by two grandeur Irish ladies! They justify this music. 🙏☘️
Thanks for this clarity. No ill respect intended! Well done ladies ! 🙏
This song get better every time I listen to it 💚💚💚💚
Well done girls, beautifully sung & presented. As good as I've ever heard..
Thanks a million! Much appreciated! Please share with friends and family if you can 🙂
This showed up somewhat randomly in my TH-cam feed. I was blown away with the beautiful harmonies. I share it with my wife and father in law and the played over a few times, the enjoyed it so much. Absolutely wonderful! Thanks for sharing with the world.
Thanks so much! Delighted that you like it and please have a look at this new video that’s just been released on my channel: th-cam.com/video/yg2mBf8voIw/w-d-xo.html
I've been to Ireland about 6 times and loved the pubs with irish music playing and loved every minute of it my great grandad came from Ireland birthplace unknown I think it might have been about the time of the potatoe famine so that's where the blood in came from I'm so proud❤❤❤
Just unbelievable I am of Irish descent love these girls butifull xxx
Wow, you feel the pain and desperation of the Famine...Beautiful song, brilliant performance
Thank you! So much appreciated!
The potato famine was by no means limited to Ireland but the system of monoculture in the West rendered it catastrophic.
Fáilte!😊Dia Duit! 😊
Is Éireannach agus Ungáiris Mé!

Lovely song God Bless Ireland my great grandparents came from Ireland ,🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🏴🏴🏴🏴
Our flag 🇮🇪👍
A couple of weeks ago visited pubs in Dublin and got to listen to this amazingly beautiful song. It moistens my eyes every time I listen. And the audience sang along, what a lovely tune it was. Imagine if you in Sweden got to be part of something similar. Leif Karkiainen
*I couldn't find a video with lyrics, but alas:*
"By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling...
"Michael, they have taken you away...
For you stole Trevelyan's corn,
So the young might see the morn.
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay..."
Low lie the fields of Athenry,
Where once we watched the small free birds fly...
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing...
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry...
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling,
'Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free...
Against the famine and the crown
I rebelled; they cut me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity.'
Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly...
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing...
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry...
By a lonely harbour wall,
She watched the last star falling,
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky...
For she lived in hope and pray,
For her love in Botany Bay...
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry...
Low lie the fields of Athenry,
Where once we watched the small free birds fly...
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing...
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry..."
WOW Ladies, Your solo vocals are so perfect and harmonies even better wow, you have just blown me away to a happy place. I will be looking for more of your music. Greetings from Scotland.
Absolutely delighted and thank you for the kind words! Maybe you'll also enjoy an original song of mine? Here's a link: th-cam.com/video/bzCaD4qVhQA/w-d-xo.html . Please leave a comment and let me know! Best regards

Thanks so much for listening! Much appreciated!
Just beautiful! Thank you from the state of Maine, USA
I absolutely love this version of the song. You 2 did an amazing job!
Every time I hear this it chills my heart as hunger still exists and the children still pay the price in suffering!
Great vocal ranges on both women. This song touches my soul. Such suffering. Another time and place.
Thanks so much for the comment and support! Please make sure to find us both on social media and share the video if you can 😊
Absolutley beautiful
An absolutely beautiful rendition of this wonderful song, from an Ulster Prod!

Thanks for the support! It means a lot!
Up The Rebels. Beautiful voices, beautiful ladies.
Brings tears to my eyes. God Bless Ireland.
I love this song. Beautifully rendered by 2 ,young women.
Wow beautiful brilliant voice love y thank you ladies 👏👏🎸😍🍀☘️🇮🇪
I'm divorced from my first wife who was Irish.....if one good thing came out if it is she got me hooked on Irish music and this song is awesome.
Never heard this version but what a version it is
I love the sound of women's voices in that alto range.
Love the song and appreciate the history but I find it difficult why we should live in the past. I have lived in the north all my life as a proud unionist with lots of republican friends and I hope to live my life out without any change.
Great rendition of this classic old tune. The ladies not only beautiful in their looks, but stunning in their singing also. Great job on my favourite Irish song.☘☘♥😀
