- Fields of Athenry - the Lyrics
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
Micheal they are taking you away
For you stole Trevelyn's corn
So the young might see the morn.
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.
Chorus
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
Our love was on the wing
we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
Nothing matters Mary when you're free,
Against the Famine and the Crown
I rebelled they ran me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity.
Chorus
By a lonely harbour wall
She watched the last star falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.

This version is probably my favorite that i have heard. I love this boy's story! His name is Brian O'Donnell and he was 11 when the filmakers of the movie Veronica Guerin (who had finished filming and were packing things up) saw him preforming this song for money for his family in the streets of Ireland. They heard it and asked him if he would come to the studio to record it for their movie and he told them he couldnt. Instead, they recorded his voice while he sang in the street and took it back to their studio to add strings behind it. He wouldnt take a check from them so they changed into coin and gave it to him where he stood so he could take it back home to care for his family. I love just love this song!! :)
Greedy producers rob 11 year olds ticket to fame for a few coppers haha
shelby mair
shelby mair : Amazing story !! Loved the version too.
Pfft, such a whack job
What a beautiful story such a strong boy awh godbless yup the Irish massively proud to Irish
That accent alone is music to my ears.
@@Shane-sg7oy What makes you think I am being sarcastic? I love Irish accents, I have lot's of good memory's of my nanas Irish accent. I have watched RTE before just because I like listening to the news in a nice accent.
This version of this song brings me to tears.
I'm from the Basque Country and I would like to congratulate all the Irish people because of having such a beautiful song and such a beautiful voice that sings it. It really made me shiver. It was incredible.
Best song in the world. Best country in the world. Best people in the world.
They may lose the occasional match or the occasional battle but never will they be beaten.
Be forever proud of yourselves and your country.
Top of the world ma.

It's from the film Veronica Guerin. The little boy singing in it was spotted by producer Jerry Bruckheimer singing on a street in Dublin and before he knew it, he was singing the song for the film.
Thought I'd already told you to fuck off with your whacking off
Love this song so much and the story behind it is truly amazing♡♥
I'm irish and this child makes me feel proud to be :)
this boy makes his living out of his voice, singing on the street... harry greyson record this on the quiet alley. such a beautiful song
im crying i love that song
Wow....just wow. Amazing version of this song!
this kid is an irish traveller you can hear him sing in the film abought veronica gurin the irish journalist murdered in dublin
I'm British and proud to be so. However I am NOT proud of past conflicts/events in which the Brits were responsible. Nonetheless this is a great song and a fantastic rendition of it. I first found it when the Irish fans were singing it at the World Cup against Spain in Gdansk. Fair play and respect to the Irish.
God bless the Irish !
I LOVE this version of this song, I LOVE this song.
The best version
Not Irish but support celtic and this is version is even better seems to mean more
beautiful this little fellow has some voice
Always remember the Irish.
Brings tears and open heart. Thank you so much !

Imagine stealing basic grain to feed your family being caught and sent to prison for life never to see your family again. Wondering till the end whether they survived the famine while you sat in prison. My Lord times can be tough. Governments and authority can be cruel. These are the times that try men's souls.
TheTrevelyansway .
I really love this song I chould sing it all day
OMG! If you don't cry you're not human
Very good
shivers down the spine :)))
lol i know im not irish but i love this song its absolutely a beauty
@TheTrevelyansway Botany Bay was a port in Australia. The British convicts were allowed to wander free there, which is the reason why the Aborigine race died out.
A few prisoners escaped to China, but not many. You just had to live your life out in Australia.
What's worse is that even if you had served your sentence, you probably would've had to wait for a few extra years for a ship to take you home because they arrived so rarely.
Just a few little facts :)
Lindíssima esta canção, assenta que nem uma luva neste filme. Olá a todos, sou de um País plantado no Sudoeste da Europa, mais precisamente Portugal. Nunca visitei a Irlanda, mas, espero realizar esse sonho assim que tiver oportunidade. Sinceramente acho esse País lindo de mais, muito belo e com paisagens magnificas, basta ver o filme de Hilary Swank, P. S. I Love You, ou então observar a grande maioria dos videoclips de Enyia,
fair play Brian Odonnell good bair knuckle boxer + singer and a family man
Jason Ward I heard he's hit low and he's on the streets singing, took a turn to drugs sadly.

i acc cry when i hear this song.. :/
Ya..best fans in the world :)
this reminds me of veronica guriean😢
tha is class
Why are people asking if the song was against the Spanish? Listen to the words... "Fight against the Famine and the Crown" It's against the British.
They mean did they sing it against Spain in the soccer match.

What's the name of the child singing?
Does anybody know the boys name?
@ImperialistRunningDo Yeah. They import them from South America to help pick the potatoes.
The English had a vision for the future... It didn't matter what was cut down... Maybe there vision was right, ways it was done was wrong!
They should stay the fuck out of other countries
