The Celtic Tenors Red is the Rose [Official Video]

The video "Red is the Rose" by The Celtic Tenors is part of a series of three videos. Filmed in February 2020 at Emlagh Bog, Kells, Co. Meath, Ireland, it features a beautiful, Irish folk song. This love song sees the singer's love far exceed the beauties of nature. There is also, great sadness here too in true old Irish song fashion. It shares the tune (and basic theme) with the Scottish song, Loch Lomond. For over two decades, the Celtic Tenors have been charming audiences the world over with their rich harmonies, disarming wit as radiating their love for all that is Ireland.
This is our version from the album; The Celtic Tenors - An Irish Songbook reissued March 1st, 2024

Embark on a journey through the heart of Ireland with "An Irish Songbook." Featuring a captivating blend of traditional Irish folk melodies, this re-released collection unveils the rich tapestry of Ireland's musical heritage with renewed vigor. At its core lies the poignant focal track, "Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears" a stirring narrative that chronicles the spirit of Annie Moore, the first immigrant to tread upon America's shores through Ellis Island. Through poignant vocals and evocative instrumentals, The Celtic Tenors manage to capture the bittersweet essence of leaving behind one's homeland for the promise of new beginnings.

Lyrics:
Come over the hills, my bonny Irish lass
Come over the hills to your darling
You choose the road, love, and I'll make the vow
And I'll be your true love forever
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
And fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any
'Twas down by Killarney's green woods that we strayed
When the moon and the stars, they were shining
The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair
And she swore she'd be my love forever
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
And fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any
Tis not for the parting that my sister pains
Tis not for the grief of my mother
Tis all for the loss of my bonny Irish lass
That my heart is breaking forever
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
And fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
And fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any
My love is fairer than any
