O'Connor, Sinead - The Moorlough Shore Lyrics
The Moorlough Shore
You're hills and tales and flowery vails
that lie near the moorlough shore.
Your vines ? by borden's grove.
Will I ever see you more ??
Where the prim rose blows
and the violet grows.
Where the trout and salmon play.
With my light and talk daylight I took
to spend my youthful days.
Last night I went to see my love,
and to hear what she might say.
To see if she'd take pitty on me,
She said, "I love that Irish lad,
and he was my only joy,
and ever since I saw his face
I've loved that soldier boy."
Perhaps your soldier lad is lost
sailing over the sea of maine.
Or perhaps he is gone with some other lover,
you may never see him again.
Well if my Irish lad is lost,
he's the one I do adore,
and seven years I will wait for him
by the banks of the moorlough shore.
Fairwell to Sinclaire's castle ground.
Fairwell to the foggy dew.
Where the ? wales lie ?
and ? stream runs still.
Near there I spent my youthful days
but alas ?,
for cruelty has banished me
far away from the moorlough shore.

I love this song as well as the musicians Sinead is amazing and I love the live version that they did in Dublin I've got it on DVD I watch it often only Celtic women&men can sing these songs Sinead is the best for me and Christy Moore 💚🌈🙏
She has an uncomparable voice, so pure.
Beautiful, free Ireland forever!

Is the guitarist playing Yamaha f310?
qui la détourné comme ça ???? la plus belle fille du showbiz
its foggy due but sang in different words n a slight change in music
whose she
falling into temptation
she's Amazing
Your hills and dales and flowery vales
That lie near the Moorlough Shore
Your vines that blow by Borden's grove
Will I ever see you more
Where the primrose glows
And the violet grows
Where the trout and salmon play
With my line and hook delight i took
To spend my youthful days
Last night I went to see my love
And to hear what she might say
To see if she'd take pity on me
Lest I might go away
She said, "I loved an Irish lad,
And he was my only joy,
and ever since I saw his face
I have loved that soldier boy"
Perhaps your soldier lad is lost
Sailing over the sea of Maine
Or perhaps he's gone with some other one
You may never see him again
Well if my Irish lad is lost,
He's the one I do adore,
And seven years I'll wait for him
By the banks of the Moorlough shore
Such beautiful lyrics, melody, and of course Sinead O'Connor is a Living Treasure. Not just a proud Irishwoman, but also a literal genius and a gift to the world in general.
We love her round the globe. Sinead is One of a Kind. The only singer who can compare today is Annie Lennox, in terms of brilliant minds, passion for helping the world and political issues unrepetant, willing to put their beliefs however controversial front and central.
I can think of few other musicians, (MEN INCLUDED!) who have the BRAVERY, heart and courage of this woman. She stood against the Catholic Church SCANDAL of child molestation, rape, and even murder in Ireland and WORLD WIDE. This woman is Angelic.
Farewell to Sinclaire's castle grand.
Farewell to the foggy dew.
Where the linen waves like bleaching silk
And the falling stream runs still
Near there I spent my youthful days
But alas they all are gone
For cruelty has banished me
Far away from the Moorlough Shore.
Simple yet perfect
Long live Bobby Sands, May God look after him, the sacrifice he gave personally in his suffering that people in the south never realised the pressure he was under in his community to have to go and give his life in terrible circumstances to try and make political decisions supposedly available resources the ballot box.
Arsebox 1974 we would not be able to wipe the sweat of his brow a brave hero was Bobby as brave as any who went before him in our struggle.
I love the atmosphere of the videos for sean-nos nua, nothing flashy, just Sinnead simply sining in her homeland. Captures the spirit of the album perfectly.
Her voice is so pure and powerful she needs no gimmicks.
Well she does have a lot of music videos with close headshots that could be considered her gimmick, but overall I think she is a great singer
I don't think close headshots are a 'gimmick,' though. She is very beautiful. Have you ever seen her with her natural long hair? She's lovely. Yes, her facial features are gorgeous...video directors tend to do close shots because she emotes a lot with her facial expressions and huge beautiful eyes, and she doesn't do 'sexy' outfits or dances. It's just her clear, gorgeous voice and beautiful face singing sweetly and fiercely.
until she started singing, i thought sinead was the one on the right. oh well
look up My Lagan Love by her.
Lagan Love is absolutely brilliant, too! If you want to see the RANGE of this fierce beauty, this amazing Irish woman, whom I ADORE, listen to her youthful fiery music like "Troy," "Mandinka," or even a brilliant video and song from back in the day that she wrote and performed with Bono of U2 fame, "You Have Made Me A Thief Of Your Heart."
Nunya Bizness you have just named my three favourite songs, 😂 listen to last day of my acquaintance
He Love your sing so fine in so mats love i wil never vergoten you yes it a diverd time 1988

Rachel Pitt not as good as Dolores Keane

voll geil
This woman has always been able to pound a tune home...never holds back. Few are like her.
I share your hurt my beautiful woman
I remember it all she takes me back so far
Tipkle irshe folk yes i love it yes ido
what is happening, she takes me to an other world away from my Viking world
Valhalla?
Wonderful voice and expression! Isn´t it the melody of "Foggy Dew"?
+the13thchapter yes it is :)
I thought so, too
the13thchapter Yep. isn't it beautiful? ♡
ive heard its the other way round, this lyrics were rewritten after easter rising
@Abban Exactly, it was rearanged for the one writed by Charles O'neill
Sinead, my Irish love! Long live Ireland! Ore se bhata bhaile! Love you Celtic sis&bros.
+Wes S Sorry.Oro se do Bheatha Bhaile. Sorry again.
What a beautiful voice and setting....;
Beautiful. Thank you so much for posting this. I am lost in this song.
