Well ladies, ye have now brought a right tough decendant of some tough Donegal men to tears. A beautiful but hauntingly sad song sung by some beautiful ladies with beautiful voices.
I have heard many versions of this song by Sean McCarthy from Finuge in County Kerry. But this is the most haunting version, it brought a lump to my throat. Exquisite and beautiful.
Brendan Cahill, Even sadder if you were born there and left long ago as I and my family did. I walked those moonlit and ,sometimes very dark roads, as a child and young boy.
I never heard these lyrics to this tune before, I know it as The Twelfth of Never. Absolutely gorgeous! Came here via the Loch Lomond video with Peter Hollens, got there from other acapella music of his. LOVE your voices!
The first time i heard this absolutely Gorgeous song was when i was a child and the singer who sang it then was Paddy Day. I looked up Shanagolden on here and i saw this video and i could feel my heart swell as i listened to these voices, i thought Paddy Day's version was fantastic but! the harmony of the O'Neill Sisters..WOW.. brought tears. LOVE it
This is a great blessing for me ! God has demonstrated that His is able to express His beauty thru the singing talent of these beautiful and angelic beings named The O'Neill Sisters. This is a first time experience for me listening to their mesmerizing singing voices. Indeed, they're voices TRASNCEND everything I heared in natural singing and so I am MESMERISED. Their physical beauty matches their unique talent. Indeed one can most assuredly say : Irish women are certainly BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!

Hi Fiona, Naomi, Evangeline, This is a beautiful song! You are all so talented the video works so well with the words of Shanagolden and kerry looks amazing. 💚💚💚
The lyrics: The cold winds from the mountains are calling soft to me, The smell of scented heather brings bitter memories: A wild and lonely eagle up in the summer sky, Flies high o'er Shanagolden, where my love Willie lies. I met him in the winter time when snow was on the ground The Irish hills were peaceful and love was all around. Scarcely twenty years old, a young man in his prime. We were married, darling Willie by the eve of Christmas time. Do you remember darling, we walked the moonlit road I held you in my arms, love, I would never let you go. Our hands they were entwined, my love, all in the pale moonlight, By the fields of Shanagolden on a lonely winter's night. Then came the call to arms, love, the heather was aflame. Down from the silent mountains, the Saxon strangers came. I held you in my arms then, my young heart wild with fear, In the fields by Shanagolden, in the springtime of the year. You fought them, darling Willie, all through the summer days. I heard the rifles firing in the mountains far away I held you in my arms then, your blood ran free and bright, And you died in Shanagolden, on a lonely summer's night. But that was long ago, love, now our son grows fine and tall; The hills they are at peace again: the Saxon strangers gone. There's roses growing on your grave, there's an eagle in the sky , Flying high o'er Shanagolden, where my love Willie lies.

Stephen Alderson, It looks more like the border country of West Limerick and North Kerry.
The lyrics:
The cold winds from the mountains are calling soft to me,
The smell of scented heather brings bitter memories:
A wild and lonely eagle up in the summer sky,
Flies high o'er Shanagolden, where my love Willie lies.
I met him in the winter time when snow was on the ground
The Irish hills were peaceful and love was all around.
Scarcely twenty years old, a young man in his prime.
We were married, darling Willie by the eve of Christmas time.
Do you remember darling, we walked the moonlit road
I held you in my arms, love, I would never let you go.
Our hands they were entwined, my love, all in the pale moonlight,
By the fields of Shanagolden on a lonely winter's night.
Then came the call to arms, love, the heather was aflame.
Down from the silent mountains, the Saxon strangers came.
I held you in my arms then, my young heart wild with fear,
In the fields by Shanagolden, in the springtime of the year.
You fought them, darling Willie, all through the summer days.
I heard the rifles firing in the mountains far away
I held you in my arms then, your blood ran free and bright,
And you died in Shanagolden, on a lonely summer's night.
But that was long ago, love, now our son grows fine and tall;
The hills they are at peace again: the Saxon strangers gone.
There's roses growing on your grave, there's an eagle in the sky ,
Flying high o'er Shanagolden, where my love Willie lies.
Ah, yes... Perfect as usual!
Ah, that someone might sing such a song for me some day.
