I sat within the valley green I sat me with my true love. My sad heart strove the two between The old love and the new love. The old for her the new That made me think on Ireland dearly. While the soft wind blew down the glade and shook the golden barley. 'Twas hard the woeful words to frame To break the ties that bound us. But harder still to bear the shame of foreign chains around us. And so I said the mountain glen I'll meet at morning early. And I'll join the bold united men While soft winds shook the barley. 'Twas sad I kissed away her tears My fond arm round her flinging. When a foe, man's shot burst on our ears From out the wild woods ringing. A bullet pierced my true love's side In life's young spring so early. And on my breast in blood she died While soft winds shook the barley. But blood for blood without remorse I've ta'en at oulart hollow. I've lain my true love's clay like corpse Where I full soon must follow. Around her grave I've wandered drear Noon, night, and morning early. With breaking heart when e'er I hear The wind that shakes the barley.
I was fortunate to have gone to a Dead Can Dance performance in Miami, FL 1996. The entire performance was/is the most moving shows I was lucky to have been a part of. Listening to all of my favs from Saltarello to The Wind that Shakes the Barley live is still amazingly vivid in my memories n experiences. I was also fortunate to have step to an alley b4 the show began to smoke a cigarette & lie n behold the band was in the alley smoking b4 the show. I had the chance to chat with Brendan n band but Lisa was not there at that alley moment.
same, in Minneapolis, MN. remember the percussionist jumping around looking like Animal from the Muppets? i managed to come within feet of her after the show as they were greeting the crowd. i was so in awe & in love i had no idea what to say or do, she seemed supernatural
@@mollyr.goates8097 Indeed. The brutal oppression the Irish suffered at the hands of the English, was a terrible thing. Even today there still exists a lot of bigotry and hatred. Then, to make it worse, after all those years of violence, hatred and oppression, there is a generation that knows nothing but violence and are violent. Not all of them, but too many.
Anyone know where I can view the full show? I used to have it on VHS but no longer. If I could watch it and share it with my daughter, I could die happy. Thx
im wondering if anyone to help me if they know alot about irish folk music. A few years ago i found this song on youtube of a male singer i have never heard of and his name was not in the description but all i can tell you is that the picture for the youtube video was of an old IRA poster from the 70's/80's (i think) and he was pointing an arma-lite gun towards the right and the background was red withe the title word at the top that said "resistance". i know its abit of a random thing to ask but i have know choice now but to ask the youtube public if anyone could send me in the right direction, i've literally been pulling my hair out for ages now searching the internet to find but i cant. Please some one help!. Kindest Regards, Jake.
So many people think blacks have SUCH a noble reason to sing the blues, but the Irish have every bit of a reason to sing of the race & country being shat on by England, the U.S. and even Australis. Slaves, at least were kept in relatively good health, fed & sheltered. Irish cost nothing & easily replaced. These people truly know suffering!

She sings so beautifully.. it is captivating to the soul
Magnificent performance. For a United Ireland!
And that, my friends, is vocal mastery taken to celestial heights.
The best a capella performance ever
Agreed
the best a capella performance ever with the finest female voice ever
Opinon expressed as a fact.
It’s Lisa ❤

You've got to be kidding me. I'm weeping
thank you, always Young Milady❤ cosmic voice
I sat within the valley green
I sat me with my true love.
My sad heart strove the two between
The old love and the new love.
The old for her the new
That made me think on Ireland dearly.
While the soft wind blew down the glade
and shook the golden barley.
'Twas hard the woeful words to frame
To break the ties that bound us.
But harder still to bear the shame
of foreign chains around us.
And so I said the mountain glen
I'll meet at morning early.
And I'll join the bold united men
While soft winds shook the barley.
'Twas sad I kissed away her tears
My fond arm round her flinging.
When a foe, man's shot burst on our ears
From out the wild woods ringing.
A bullet pierced my true love's side
In life's young spring so early.
And on my breast in blood she died
While soft winds shook the barley.
But blood for blood without remorse
I've ta'en at oulart hollow.
I've lain my true love's clay like corpse
Where I full soon must follow.
Around her grave I've wandered drear
Noon, night, and morning early.
With breaking heart when e'er I hear
The wind that shakes the barley.
Go hiontach
Great performance in Belgrade yesterday
I’m Welsh, ex-British army and would love to see a united Ireland.

Welsh blooded Australian believes in a united Ireland. 💚
I'm an Irish Nationalist and appreciate that more than you know, hears the thing I want us all to be free Jewish slavery
As a true Republican I can say that the whole Ireland will truly be free

Somehow, I don't think many people in the U.S. understand what that song is truly about.
I live in the US. I understand it well. I can feel the pain and suffering of the Irish. I'm Irish American. I agree though. Most people have no idea
Molly R. Goates Irish-American as well,
This song evokes a strong feeling in me,
I hope I live to see a United and free Ireland

I cried while watching the film.

The mounds of barley were where soldiers had died. They carried barley cakes in their pockets and the grains sprouted.
When will Humanity Listen?
Give Ireland back to the Irish.
Give Germany back to the Saxons!
give the americas back to the natives.... both of 'em.. ;D (wonderin' who gets it)
@@abramring2801 no one is native, guess you're talking about Mongoloid DNA extraction via the Bering Strait
Give Wu-Tang back to the children.
@@Colossians2v8 looks like someone read a few chapters of exactly one anthropology book in college. Yikes.
Oh .. My God...
With ya on that one

I sat within the valley green
I sat me with my true love.
My sad heart strove the two between
The old love and the new love.
The old for her the new
That made me think on Ireland dearly.
While the soft wind blew down the glade
And shook the golden barley.
T'was hard the woeful words to frame
To break the ties that bound us.
But harder still to bear the shame
Of foreign chains around us.
And so I said the mountain glen
I'll meet at morning early.
And I'll join the bold united men
While soft winds shook the barley.
T'was sad I kissed away her tears
My fond arm round her flinging.
When a foe, man's shot burst on our ears
From out the wild woods ringing.
A bullet pierced my true love's side
In life's young spring so early.
And on my breast in blood she died
While soft winds shook the barley.
But blood for blood without remorse
I've ta'en at oulart hollow.
I've lain my true love's clay like corpse
Where I full soon must follow.
Around her grave I've wandered drear
Noon, night, and morning early.
With breaking heart when e'er I hear
The wind that shakes the barley.
