Canciones populares... Fields of Athenry

Tremendos The Dubliners cantando la emocionante "the fields of Athenry", canción sobre muchas cosas, sobre la pobreza, sobre un emigrante, sobre la libertad, sobre Irlanda.

By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling: "Michael, they have taken you away, For you stole Trevelyn's corn, So the young might see the morn. Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay." 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 cut me down. Now you must raise our child with dignity." 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 harbor wall, She watched the last star falling As the prison ship sailed out against the sky For she lived to hope and pray For her love in Botany Bay It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry. 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.

De verdad que os recomiendo que dediqueis 4 minutos a escuchar esta maravilla.

Le he dedicado 4 a escucharlo y 8 a cantarla a dúo.
No la conocía.
No sólo la música es hermosa, la letra es pura poesía.
Gracias por habérmela hecho conocer.

Para mi, que he estado por dos veces en Athenry, ya que mi hija trabaja allí, cada vez que escucho dicha palabra, me levanta el espíritu.
He logrado descargar la partitura y siempre que tengo algo de tiempo, en mis ensayos, no dejo de tocar dicha melodía. Un saludo para las gentes de Athenry,gente maravillosa,encantadora y servicial.
Sus campos una maravilla.
