The music in here in Ireland is great I will admit that, even Metallica likes it. But the places here are actually quite nice as when you go to the curragh seeing all of the green hills especially in the evening when the sun goes down it is a sight to behold. When the sun descends it's a really beautiful thing to see. Be the same in glendalough as well.
I'm 19 and i'm from Vietnam. It's so weird that music from that side of the world, played by people from that side of the century would fascinate this boy in the faraway corner of the world. Much admirable!
@@abdulvonundzurahman5338 Wtf does that mean? Im an american from the Region of New England XD. My people came here in like the 1600s. So to say I "immigrated" here is incorrect. But at the same time my region maintains its own distinct culture.
I don't know why, but I just love songs that depict the world as a green place with simple, folksy lives and young love. That stereotypical romanticized Celtic country lifestyle sounds so fun.
You can still get that. Visit a monastery sometime, preferably Orthodox. A lot of Westerners are becoming Orthodox actually (again, since the great schism) and there are monasteries of that church across the British Isles
The internet is a wondrous thing in many ways. Back in the early '70s Hallmark Hall of Fame had a program on TV that was set in Ireland. I only saw it once, but this song was in it. I could remember the melody and only the lyrics "fair colleen...the County Down". That's it. Couldn't remember what the Hall of Fame story was about anymore, but the song was stuck in my head for the last 45 years. Tonight, for whatever reason, I decided to do yet another search to try and pin down that song. And I found it :-). Now it is an "ear worm" and I probably won't be able to get it out of my head for the next two weeks. But that's okay. I have loved this song for almost a half century - when I didn't even know what song it was!
I grew up in a rural town in the northern Denmark, raised from birth with Dubliners, Irish Rovers, Irish Descendants, Fishermans friends, the list goes on. These are the most nostalgic songs to me. I was taught to play the tin whistle by my father, and found jew's harp and accordion myself. There is no better music to me than this, and I love it.
I'm a kiwi but my wife's family goes all the way back to County Down ..Newtownards. And I went there in 2009. Then around the whole country. What lovely people!!!
I'm from Spain and remember when visiting Ireland listening to a song of Irish Rovers playing in one of those souvenir shops. I was 17 and it was instant love. Til today, and I'm nearly 40 now 😂 Long live, Ireland, wonderful nation ❤️
Supposedly my last name was originally spelled Masset when my ancestors were Normans descended from Vikings living in Normandy, France. They eventually made their way to Ireland where they changed the name to Massey. While not exactly “native” Irish I still feel a connection to that ancient land
I am brazilian and I know this song because I heard it in a really nice pub in Dublin (the name was The Celtic). Since my trip to Ireland, I have been totally in love with the Irish music and culture! Much admirable and beautiful
A pinnacle of Irish folk music. I don't sing, hum, whistle, or scat it as much as i used to, but i still find it dear to my heart, and i imagine it being in a few of my story ideas.
I just begun to think that I had an anterior life, living in the northern part of the world, in countries like England or Ireland due to my pleasure for all these old musics which come from this corner of the world
My great grandparents were from Galway Bay. It makes me ridiculously happy whenever I hear it mentioned! Even when I was little, before I knew my family had distant Irish roots, Gaelic music always set my soul on fire. It's an indescribable joy to know that in some way I'm connected to such a gorgeous place! This song is so gorgeous!
I think it makes more sense changing the lyrics to say "cailín" instead of "Colleen." The song says her name is Rosie, so her name isn't Colleen. Cailín is pronounced the exact same though, and it's gaelic for "girl," which makes much more sense in the context
The name Colleen comes from the word cailín and because they are pronounced the same, it is easy to write Colleen as everyone would know how to pronounce it. Also the English word Colleen can also mean "girl", although it is usually used in the context of a name
You guys are awesome, my 84 year old best mate (like a dad to me) loves your songs and I wanted to thank you guys for the amazing music. EDIT: RIP David R J Moss
hearing this song makes me so proud to be from County Down, although, i’m from Belfast, in County Antrim 😳 although my whole dad’s side of the family are from down around Newcastle/Castlewellan and also Downpatrick so I’m sure that counts, right? 🤷🏻♂️
These comments make me so happy. I'm American of Irish decent one paren and all grandparents are from Ireland. Thank you for appreciating our heritage. I so enjoy Italian songs and culture. I don't know much about other places, but would love to learn
Many thanks for the good time I spent listening to this charming Irish music, it became warmer inside and I understood that a river of goodness flows in us all, thanks and deep reverence!
Every year on St. Pat's, all I EVER hear on regular radio is that Unicorn song of theirs!! WHY NOW THIS ONE, OMG!! Make you forget about Mary-Kate(Maureen O'Hara)Danahur!!
Remember an old church song i sang in elementary school was set to this tune, I think it was called Canticle of the Turning. such good memories of that school
"Well, I've travelled a bit, but I've never been hit, since my roving career began. Fair and square I surrendered there, to the charm of Rosie McCann. With no heart to let, no tennant yet, there our meeting row began. An' in she went and I asked no rent, from star of the County Down"
Does anyone else get an wistful almost despair-like feeling at beautiful traditional song like this, like a feeling of we missed better times and went horribly wrong somewhere and lost transcendent values?
@ryanknowstecmobowl 1. It's funny you mention that because I'm Orthodox, the original church Rome broke from, and Ireland was free and Orthodox before the Norman invasion enforced Papal control. It's true! The Schism didn't affect the British Isles until 1066. 2. Being a tributary of the EU, a foreign bureaucracy, is not quite freedom as forefathers imagined it. Not to mention now women can kill their unborn children. St. Patrick pray for us!
I'm Irish, English, Scot, German and Swede. I love all the old music from all the cultures I came from. I will still be listening until the day when I leave this world.

The Irish Rovers were making amazing songs in the 60s and haven't lost their charm in this new millennium....I don't know how they do it
It must be magic
You can thank Coleen in the County down lol
That’s because art doesn’t have an expiration date
One of my favourite Irish songs! God bless you!
This Guy ok, so where is your evidence that it's Brazilian?
:D :D hahaha @This Guy
Brazilian? I was 100% sure that this was of Mongolian origin.
Hairy Chinese Kid seing this comment late but I’m glad you do I often think all English hate us tbh
Black and tans is the best irish song

In music class, we were allowed to choose a song to show the class, and I picked this one :)
Do you like it when we include the lyrics on a song? Maybe we should do more.
I love how you included the lyrics!

Good choice.

Completely worth it.

I'm Irish but I love italian culture. Beautiful language, beautiful food, beautiful people and a beautiful country!
Come over!!
@@ArchangelAva I've been there in 2018 and I'm looking forward to come back ASAP
There's a reason so many Americans have both Irish and Italian heritage. Hell, their flags are only off by a little bit.
There's so much depth, character and richness in Irish folk music. It really is the original. A beautiful song this one.
I'm a kiwi but my wife's family goes all the way back to County Down ..Newtownards. And I went there in 2009. Then around the whole country. What lovely people!!!
As a down man myself, glad you enjoyed the best county

Me toooo. Back to the motherland

I love this song! from japan.
I love irish music! Ireland is beautiful, the irish are wonderful people! Greetings from Germany

The Irish Songs 🇨🇮 are very beautiful 🥰
You need to listen to the sash
Whenever I listen to the Rovers' rendition of this song, the tune remains in my head for entire days.
This is gold. I love them Irish people. All the way from Sudan
Hi. I collect coins from all over the world. I don't have many from Sudan. Can you send me some? I will of course pay for them and for postage.
@@Ellemerob hey sure man I have couple of coins home. No need to pay anything mate. Just DM your details
I am from Germany and I really love this song like all of the beautiful Irish music and culture 💚💚💚🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮
Nice, but that's not the flag of Ireland. It's the flag of Ivory Coast
perfect, I'll learn the words from Galway to Dublin town and sing this around folks, intoxicated.
I am brazilian and I know this song because I heard it in a really nice pub in Dublin (the name was The Celtic). Since my trip to Ireland, I have been totally in love with the Irish music and culture! Much admirable and beautiful
I’m glad you enjoyed your trip!
I may be British, but goddammit if these Irish songs aren't the greatest things I've ever heard.
There you go lad enjoy the culture
I was to an Irish pub when I was younger it was very plesent
A pinnacle of Irish folk music. I don't sing, hum, whistle, or scat it as much as i used to, but

Walked My Daughter Down The Aisle Too This Song.
Was played without the lyrics, still beautiful ❤
Love to Ireland from France!
One of my great grandmothers was named Rose McCann, from Ireland
As someone from the banbridge town in the County Down, I approve
So proud for the star of county down. Love her
Quarantine has made me sooo proud of Irish music even I'm not live there lmao
I've listened to a few other versions of this song and this is by far the best version in my opinion.
My favourite version!
I just begun to think that I had an anterior life, living in the northern part of the world, in countries like England or Ireland due to my pleasure for all these old musics which come from this corner of the world

Cheers to that. I love you guys.
I just love the Irish music although I have no connection with Ireland. I just feel it like it is my home country music. Regards from Serbia.
The tune bears quite an adventurous tone
As in "a voyage to afar is at hand "
Marvellous indeed
I am really impressed... by the poet..
Im a singer and I have been trying to push myself now after hearing this im determined to sing in an irish accent
Greetings from Bulgaria!!! Great song!!!
This one is so good
I just had this tune played on harp and violin for my wedding, this is my first time hearing it with lyrics. Thank you, it's wonderful!

fuck Yeah
My mum's Irish but she moved when she was young.... I wish she and my nana shared more of the culture they got to experience
Come, my youth of Ireland, rise!!!!

Does anyone else get an wistful almost despair-like feeling at beautiful traditional song like this, like a feeling of we missed better times and went horribly wrong somewhere and lost transcendent values?
Considering this is one of the few times Ireland is free, no.

Not to mention now women can kill their unborn children. St. Patrick pray for us!
We most definitely DID go horribly wrong somewhere and lose transcendent values. It's not a feeling- it's cold hard fact.
Love this tune and have since a young lad, lots of love from county Tyrone
@Irish Rovers I love your songs so much. Keep up the fantastic work. Traditional irish music shall never die
this version of star of the county down is IMO the best i've heard so far
Its really good but also check out the Pogues version.
I can't stop listening to this
Your music is the sole reason I have an Irish accent; thank you for making material for my whole childhood.
When you're so proud of Irish culture, history and music, but you're Italian...
