This is the best and most haunting version of "Weile Weile Weile" (starving babies cry) the children's nursey rhyme. A song passed down though generations about the necessity of infanticide during An Gorta Mór. This is what the British did in Ireland. Made us dark people.
Gtfo with your perceived victim bullshit. This song, and it's original English version "The Cruel Mother" are about the cruelty and depravity that follows a sinful extramarital relationship. Learn about our people's history instead of jumping to false conclusions about oppression from our racial cousins and stop projecting your 20th century ideals of a "necessity of infanticide" onto a time and a proud, Christian people that would have beat you for the mention of such an evil.
I'm not Irish but this song gave me chills when I discovered it. Her voice is so melodic and haunting, it has an ethereal and folklore feeling in it! And the lyrics are so so good. I could see an old lady singing it down by the river in the medieval times. So so good
< There was an old woman and she lived in the woods, weile weile waile There was an old woman and she lived in the woods, down by the river Saile She had a baby three months old, weile weile waile She had a baby three months old, down by the river Saile She had a pen knife long and sharp, weile weile waile She had a pen knife long and sharp, down by the river Saile She stuck the pen knife in the babys heart, weile weile waile She stuck the pen knife in the babys heart, down by the river Saile There were three loud knocks come a'knockin on the door, weile weile waile There were three loud knocks come a'knockin on the door, down by the river Saile There were two policemen and a special-branchman, weile weile waile There were two policemen and a special-branchman, down by the river Saile They put a rope around her neck, weile weile waile They put a rope around her neck, down by the river Saile They pulled the rope and she got hang, weile weile waile They pulled the rope and she got hang, down by the river Saile And that was the end of the woman in the woods, weile weile waile And that was the end of the baby too, down by the river Saile > Buon Halloween a todos!
I learned this when I was about 8 in school I never realized how dark it was until I was a teenager 😂 to me it was just a song when I was younger I never really paid attention to the lyrics

Known this song for years, but never realised it ha such origins. Adds a new, and even darker dimension. Thanks for posting.

This is a great version, the tempo / speed adds a creepiness that adds to the song. Thank you for making this version available.
I found this calming

This world is more full of weeping then you’ll ever understand. Come away human child. They’re anxious in their sleep.
listening to this in the middle of the night was a bad decision
it's so good tho i can't stop
Haunting.....luv it

I came here after hearing Ronnie Drew and The Dubliners Old Folk song version
Goes straight to the bone
Still gives me chills and a lump in my throat...
Strange, but hauntingly wonderful, lovely vocals much better than the version I new at school,!!!
Moral of the story, don’t stick knives in babies heads.

There's a rich vein of velvet darkness in traditional music, and Traditional Irish music, specifically.
