Cara Dillon "She Moved Through The Fair" lyrics under closed captions

[@crc778Hypnodoc]

As a 100% Irish man I can only say this is a beautiful song and beautifully performed, whatever the nationality or language and what lovely eyes the young lady has

[@wornpick1]

Cara arguably has the most stunning voice to emerge from Ireland in a generation. Voices like this are so rare - England's last contender was the superlative Sandy Denny. Both and all are to be treasured. The song and the voice is all. Everything else is nonsense.

[@rjb10101]

Beautiful voice of an angel. She came from heaven to sing this song.

[@solsticecelt1]

And then she turned homewards..with one star awake ... like the swan in the evening...moves over the lake. My favourite ever song lyrics!

[@pfiddle]

As a trad musician - I think this is a lovely rendition. This is how it should be sung - for the song - NOT the singer. Brava Cara

[@stosss9307]

the most beautiful girl in singers,and the most beautiful voice among beauties

[@MrRexBailey]

You`ve done Dungiven proud girl, Beautiful voice control, very professional, I`m from Coleraine by the way, and you`ve made a 44yr old man cry. Thanks mate!

[@105robmajor]

I arrived here after seeing an advertisement for her new record in the window of an Irish music store on Nassau Street in Dublin. Through the magic of Google Earth, the image was nearly as good as standing right there on the sidewalk. Beautiful voice for sure. Here version of "There Were Roses" is beutiful beyond words.

[@markpieexplores]

have to say, after listening to a lot of the other versions, cara's is still my favourite. the others seem to lose the rhythm to the song, despite their good vocals. cara keeps it simple and pure, still with amazing vocals, also saw it live and i shivered like nothing else lol

[@carlosantaniello1]

Wow, she melts your heart, truly haunting and amazing voice,

[@somethingtidal]

oh how I love voices like this.

[@thecaproni100]

the most beautiful rendition of 'She moves through the Fair ' ..

[@steviesin]

beautifully sung by a beautiful lady - wow

[@sammymantha29]

i love her.. Absolutely breathtaking......

[@samrowe89]

Brilliant! Cara Dillons playing in Bath on the 29th of April! Can't wait to see her now!! :-)

[@mbk158]

Just learning to sing this now..just beautiful

[@adolfball4215]

I arrived here through the links from ''There Were Roses''. The voice is gorgeous. The singing is beautiful, and the words always dampen me eye.

[@rudimehtaphotography]

I am in love with her and her vocals.

[@solsticecelt1]

God gave all of us a talent regardless of creed, colour or class! Appreciate everything without prejudice!!!

[@ThePrimaryDirective]

Van Morrison's cover of this song with the Chieftains on Irish Heartbeat will always have my heart, but this cover is just as beautiful and is worth the world to me.

[@mizzraika]

*goosebumps* Very very good!!

[@speccyride]

lv the fact shes pure preg, lucky child, i heard its good for the unborn to hear amazin music!

[@Quackfly]

the best version on youtube

[@micamagill3611]

one of my favourite songs, my best friend sang this as i walked up the aisle with my dad 💜

[@marydonegan]

One of my favorite songs

[@Donegaldan]

Outstanding pure talent

[@EchoingWolfcry]

There is the best way to teach your child your ancients' beautiful songs. :-)

[@Enderwiggan1]

I like when they just play the same note for the whole song - much more haunting

[@Snygyst]

This brought a tear to my eye at Moseley 2009. Delightful.

[@TheRecommended]

Shes one of my favourite Irish singers :)

[@maellen1]

she makes me sadly bloody happy!geez!

[@Kernowpal]

Coming to St Ives Festival in September - not to be missed!

[@xProudxIrishxGirlx]

irish music means a lot to irish people wherever they live, and however they identify. my grandparents were irish but it was the irish i grew up with in england so i feel like a cultural mix. i'm not 'as english' as english friends nor am i 'as irish' as my irish family who live there. i love the music and the culture and support the irish in a historical manner, but hate just detracts from your spirit, it's been too long now, sometimes you gotta sit back and enjoy the beautiful music.

[@GJR1975]

Gorgeous!!!

[@Donegaldan]

Miken Oldfield and Cara dillon are are perfect match. A musical genius and and a diva of of purest Irish vocals. Her husband Sam Lakeman is of course a superb influence

[@pjoyce19]

Great version

[@jamessliman]

Speechless

[@philphcube5592]

Always been one of my favourite song. Beautiful version, just beautiful. Bought the album as a consequence! Who is the player in the song break? He makes that thing sing!

[@doUcare4music]

so sweet sad, and... beautiful

[@Gtag4444]

Beautiful.

[@quagswag]

Good reply. Quite a lot of western folk music uses the mixolydian mode. For those that find it confusing, play your major scale (C in this case) but flatten the 7th note (B = B flat in this case). Gets you an instant 'folky' feel every time.

[@1spudtube]

Very nicely done. Lovely voice.

[@lemonpledge7093]

That's definitely the sound I think of when I think of traditional Irish music.

[@laboheme26]

Beautiful

[@CCMusicianPerformer]

Thank you for sharing. Added to vocals / voice playlist with Love & Appreciation:)

[@bigpotplant]

Thanks for posting love her.

[@RDragonsSlayer16]

beautiful

[@speccyride]

thanks for postin, crakin stuff

[@GregRainsMedia]

@Nemoid If you google it, you find it both ways. (kine and kind) Since cattle was a measure of wealth in some societies, lack of kine would be a lack of wealth. Also, in early societies a woman would bring a dowry to her husband consisting of money or property. If the husband-to-be was a poor man, he would be happy with anything and the father could give a little less -- or slight -- a poor man. Either way, Cara does a great job on the song.

[@Mekratrig]

Of all the female performers I've seen do this classic song, I love Cara's version the most. For another treat, search youtube for "Jeremy Brett - Twiggy", he sang this song on her show way back in the 70's I think. Another amazing performance, I had not known Jeremy had such a remarkable singing voice...

[@speccyride]

sinead is the best, but she does thisa song sooooooo well, lv u cara xxxxx

[@MsWindytree]

she was pregnant when she sang this song!! so amazing!!

[@scottishsinger]

For those who've asked - "kine" means cow. The more cows you had the more wealthy you were - the song is stating that her father won't turn him away or stop the marriage because he doesn't have cows!

[@HumbleDudeDontHate]

She's the best looking girls I've ever seen in my life,God's honest truth,and her voice is just Wow!! Music doesn't get better than hers

[@speccyride]

just amazin!

[@paulpayton8238]

Lovely Paul p Birmingham England xx lol

[@LittleDtale]

Gorgeous :)

[@tdbsnr]

This song is a well-known tester, deceptively simple, requiring accurate pitching & tempo - you nailed it Cara. (Does anyone remember Mick jagger in the film about Ned Kelly sounding like he was vomitting all over the microphone?!?! Utterly revolting.)

[@TheCaptain64]

Wow not into folk music really but this is stunning

[@dangalos]

Chrisboets, Here's one American that can tell ye that there are still those in the states that appreciate the music for more than just pub entertainment. But sadly, I do know what ye mean. Ah, weel, we can go on enjoyin it, no? Peace.

[@Asjobi]

wow

[@GregRainsMedia]

Thanks for noticing.

[@Jillaroo85]

According to the translation, the name of the guy is Till. lol. Not to speak of the terrible German syntax... Automatic translations are just no good. But apart from that, I love this song and am glad to hear the third verse, which is often left out. Thanks for posting this!

[@stephenbarrett8000]

My god, she is beautiful, isn't she?

[@oreilly67]

Stephen Barrett she is a rare beauty, blessed with the voice of an angel

[@GregRainsMedia]

@Jillaroo85 Thanks for your comments. But even more thank you for helping me with the new German translation.

[@faceslammermoxini]

A voice of an angle i heard this in the micheal collins movie . I think irish cidern should lern this song just like i did

[@arbeia76]

NOOOO! loreena mckennit does this best for sure in a pure celtic sound like no other.

[@GregRainsMedia]

For those of us not familiar with British slang: popsy = Old-fashioned (Brit) slang an attractive young woman (C19: diminutive formed from pop, shortened from poppet; originally a nursery term)

[@nonameblues]

Why does Ireland have such beautiful women, it's really not fair....

[@download77]

So very easy to fall in love with Irish women.

[@cherylln]

She was pregnant with twins. An emcee on another video introduced her and said she was having twins.

[@davidcoyle9063]

been there got the t shirt m8 life is short enuf

[@michaelmorgan2127]

stevie gerrard hell yeah

[@GregRainsMedia]

@GazzaMazza23 Now I get it. Thank you.

[@andiejanefisher]

Is she in a band or is she signed as a solo artist? I recognise the whistler's playing from somewhere. Who is he?

[@edotoole]

@GazzaMazza23 You are mistaken. She's British. The easiest way to check it this out is by asking to see her British passport. Northern Ireland forms part of the Great Britain Union. If she was Irish, she would have an Irish passport with Eire Ireland printed on its cover, like mine.

[@GregRainsMedia]

@sarahx87 I agree with you. I think both sides have had their say. I won't be approving any more comments on either side of this argument.

[@HomeGrownGoodness]

what kind of flute is that?!

[@zhefner90]

@sarahx87 They didn't always I think thats why

[@yifanwang7136]

She has green eyes WOW~

[@harryf200]

Nice. But listen to the versions by Sandy Denny, Loreena McKennitt and Sinead O'Connor, and also Simple Minds "Belfast Child" (same tune, different, updated lyrics.)

[@lowdowntoit]

It's/they're whistles. Looks like he's playing a G and she plays a C.

[@arbeia76]

Loreena mckennit live from the alhambra is the best version ever

[@GregRainsMedia]

@GazzaMazza23 Could you help your American cousins understand this comment and explain a little more?

[@birdynumnumski]

Simple Minds ripped this tune off on Belfast Child

[@lowdowntoit]

It's/they'ra whistles. She plays a Cwhistle, and he plays a G.

[@jamesodowd4063]

What a WAPPA singer

[@JaneRutterFlute]

I love this piece its so haunting- a ghost story that tugs at the heart strings. This version is very compelling & organic Ive posted a video response Jane Rutter

[@Seamus549]

her version is very good but sinead o connors version from michael collins is deadly gives me the shivers

[@kalafior2009]

Ładna dziewczyna i ładny głos,ale przydałyby się jej lepsze piosenki bo przy tej można spać !

[@GregRainsMedia]

@DaughterOfAsena I'm like you, I know a little about the rift between British and Irish. I just don't know specifically what caused GazzaMazza23 to make that comment. There is nothing in the comments section that identifies Cara as British.

[@cachaslokas]

mckennit is amazing, but my favourite version is Van Morrison's with the chieftains...

[@DKbhoy]

well it isn't hard to hear in which song Simple Minds found inspiration to their "Belfast Child"

[@chantellemcgrory5291]

listen to roses

[@Iamajanitor01]

I guess the only good word to say here is "beautiful".

[@ramy2schuts]

sinead is the best in it ...

[@MrSnozberry]

You are most definetly not hated mo chara..Certainly not by me..History is in the past and im sure you took no part in the tit for tat beatings and killings of old..She's an amazing talent..Listen to her song "There were Roses"..If you like this you will love it..Slan go Foil!!

[@GregRainsMedia]

@OblivionHazzard kine another name for cattle.

[@TheJamesy52]

@MrRexBailey She is the only good thing out of Dungiven.

[@shidanne]

shes pregnant?
