Wow! This video is incredible! I'm half Mexican and half Peruvian, born and raised in Los Angeles, but my heart seems to be Irish because I love Gaelic/Celtic culture. I love the music especially and this song speaks to the depths of my heart. Thank you for sharing this!
Kathleen and family used to stay with my family in the north east of England on their visits in the early 60's. She would sing this and Grandfather would do bucket of the mountain dew. Doesn't get any better than this.
So beautiful and touching... I'm from a totally different culture (Brazil), but this song has no boundaries. It actually brought new feelings to my heart. Thank you so much for posting
Bob Dylan sang in in concert at least once. It’s on a bootleg album. Made a bit of a hash of it but his heart was in the right place. There is an amateur film clip of it here on TH-cam.
When, like the dawning day Eileen Aroon Love sends his early ray Eileen Aroon What makes his dawning glow Changeless through joy and woe Only the constant know Eileen Aroon etc.
Do any of you remember my old neighbour, Harpist and vocalist Maggie Hewitt from Clapham, London where you sometimes stayed whilst in London? I was just a young teenager but remember you wel.l
@gilyat I have that LP. Most of the songs are now available for MP3 on Amazon. The only one I think that's missing is "A Maid going to Comber" or "Next Market Day" (same song, not sure which name they used). That was one of the best folk albums ever.
I wish I could but if Francis McPeake said it can't.....(and he spoke both languages)....now if it was Cymraeg (Welsh) I could give it a try! Thanks for watching - all the best; Alan.
Can someone write out the lyrics in Irish? I'm having a hard time understanding her, but the words sound different from the version I learned (phonetically), though the tune is very much the same.
that is the most beautiful poetry. it isnt just pretty words either. makes perfect sense... doesnt aroon translate to love? since siuil aroon is "walk, love"?

I love it, the ornaments are wonderful. Thank you for posting
Thanks for posting McPeake Family music. It's not heard enough and it is the beautiful voice of Ireland.
Most beautiful song ever
I would love to hear a song from your culture that you love as much as I love this
Just Beautiful, I think this is my favourite song. And the McPeake family do a grand job of presenting it in all it's wild idiosyncratic beauty.
