There is an emotion here that goes beyond just an ordinary song. Thousands of Ireland fans joined together in song for one of the all time great renditions of The Fields of Athenry. On any major sporting occasion involving an Irish team, The Fields of Athenry can be heard echoing around stadia and pubs, near and far.ĭuring the 2012 European soccer championships, the Irish team were losing badly against world champions Spain. Where is Athenry? It's in Galway, which you can explore on our award-winning 8 Day Vagabond Wild Irish Rover Tour. Its so lonely round the Fields of Athenry Our love was on the wing / We had dreams and songs to sing
#Lonely i am so lonely song 1960s free#
Low lie, The Fields Of Athenry / Where once we watched the small free birds fly Letters, never a letter I get no letters in the mail Ive been forgotten, yes. Now Im a soldier, a lonely soldier Away from home through no wish of my own Thats why Im lonely, Im Mr. Lonely Wish I had someone to call on the phone. Love for country shines through the lyrics: Lonely I have nobody for my own I am so lonely, Im Mr. Author Pete St John captures the tragedy of the Great Famine and the spirit of the Irish. Often heralded as Ireland's unofficial national anthem, this is one of the most famous Irish songs of all time.

Im so lonely broken angel Im so lonely listen to my heart Man dooset daram: (Persian: I love you) Be cheshme man gerye nade: (Persian: Dont bring tears to my eyes) Na, nemitoonam: (Persian: No, I cant) Bedoone to halam bade: (Persian: Without you im depressed) Im so lonely broken angel Im so lonely listen to my heart One n only, broken angel Come n save me before I fall apart Ta harja. It touches on the heart of the city and those who have worked as street sellers since the city was established, over a thousand years ago. The song has become an anthem for the people of Dublin.
The subject is a Dublin fishmonger who, let's just say, may have sold more than just cockles and mussels. But it was most likely written long before, sometime in the late 19 th century. Most will recognise this Dubliners version. There are so, so many great Irish songs to choose from! Here we go. I love introducing my favourite Irish songs to guests on Vagabond and Driftwood Small-Group Tours of Ireland.īut narrowing the endless, wonderful history of Irish music down to just ten songs? This was an impossible task (luckily, I gave it another go in my follow-up posts 10 More Irish Songs You Need to Know).
