Sinéad O' Connor - Paddy's Lament

[@joseslomalos]

Wow... one of my favorites... from a brilliant album... beautiful voice, as ever.

[@stephanestermann7451]

Oui ma belle irlandaise est incomparable, elle me manque tellement, Sinéad je t'aime infiniment ❤❤❤😢 Une belle maman de 4 enfants que des très mauvais médecins ont abîmé les années suivantes😢, colère.

[@elainemariamoreiraramosram7472]

Sinéad O'Connor presente hoje e sempre. Vou te ouvir e amar sempre minha cantora irlandesa, nos deixou um lindo legado que vai ser lembrado para sempre em nossos corações. Minha Rainha da Irlanda Sinéad O'Connor é a única e melhor voz de todos os tempos. Adeus minha Diva.❤

[@honeycat535]

how does she convey that totally irish feel in these songs,stunning...she can do it without frills,i love this... x

[@superfortressstudios]

i know this song is one of my favorites, i had an irish grandfather who was killed in the us civil war for the 71st new york volunteer infantry

[@pavlinaltd2145]

the soul of Ireland is in this song...

[@fxq777]

When she hits the high notes she is incomparable

[@LATANAteam]

one of the best singer of ever!!!

[@adaliaellis]

I had to read up on the history behind this song. The things that are just not taught in American history. A hauntingly beautiful song that were I still in a classroom teaching history, it would be included in lessons about the Civil War.

[@spartan5689]

it hits me in the heart it does

[@elianayout]

Essa canção é lindíssima!!!

[@BenAliGtor]

In December of 1862, Federal commander Major General Ambrose Burnside launched a futile assault against emplaced Confederate works on Marye's Heights, Fredericksburg. Wave after wave of Federal regiments were massacred- the courage of the Irish Brigade thus became legend. Robert E. Lee paid tribute to the valor of his foes, the Irish in Federal blue: It is well that war is so horrible, lest we become too fond of it.

[@theresewalters1696]

I appreciate your comment.

[@kagillogly]

On landing in NY at the time of the U.S. Civil War, Irish were drafted into the northern forces with the promise of a pension and citizenship. They were still ostracized and discriminated against. Still going on in the U.S. today - there are a lot of U.S. immigrants in the U.S. Armed Forces overseas.

[@tjohannam]

the melody is so soothing.

[@Chicagoan444]

Love this song, and the way she sings it. I think of this song as coming from the American Civil War,although I don't know if it dates from that time. It's a perspective of that war in particular that we don't generally hear, from that of the immigrant who got caught up in that war and suffered for it. Good anti-war song in general . . .

[@M_M_ODonnell]

This is Sinéad's performance of a song whose content is more Irish-American than strictly Irish -- more than one of my ancestors (including three members of the famous Irish Brigade of the U.S. (Union) Army) came to the U.S. under circumstances more or less identical to those described by the song. (At least they were on the right side of the war they fell into -- though that was probably mostly a matter of chance.)

[@HergerSeamus]

HOLY FUCK! I LOVE her!

[@dtzjones7632]

Amazing performance from Sinead.I really hope she doesn't include the Welsh when mentioning the Brits I'm Welsh and don't consider myself British.I admire Sinead she's taught herself so much about history religion and language Genius💚🌈🙏🍀💐

@MrCadorel La lamentation de Paddy (c'est un surnom commun, il vient de "Patrick") La chanson est des malheurs de Paddy .

[@ericderobertmazure8617]

sublime

[@Nmccarville]

Poetic justices indeed my friend and that Clinton forced Briton to to come to terms with Ireland. I mean that if Northern Ireland ever votes more then 50 percent in favor of unity with the south that Briton must comply or face the resulting punishment... My family descends from the O'Carrols and the Kings of Ely.

[@billionear]

I was thinking the very same thing? I.R.A. loved their work.

[@TinyArts]

@ImagesByDavid And we Scandinavians crushed the brits. The vikings also founded Dublin.

[@frankswildyear]

Her voice always cut me to the bone

[@GREGwrite]

anyone got the notes of that song? for piano and voice or sth? thanks a lot

[@ShoshanaSki]

Gernans fighting Stalingrad were the best soldierst ever.

[@oh542545]

@Plingpli She's a good Paddy !

[@MrThingy3]

when ireland was colonised by britain they imprisoned or killed anyone who spoke english instead of irish,and as a result the irish language died out,to this day english is now irelands spoken language,irish is taught in schools the same as french or german!

[@lapalissiano]

anche io!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Nmccarville]

@Panczekolada but my own Great Grand Father watched as his uncle was beaten to death with hurling sticks wife raped and the older boys sent to jail their was no justice to the irish and the english got away with it. The Only difference between England (in History not presently) and the Nazi Germany was that the English had better PR. "If their was a tear shed for every wrong done to Ireland you would soon have enough tears to fill a large lake"

[@TinyArts]

@ImagesByDavid I'm just messing, don't wanna argue with an irishman. We Scandinavians like the irish alot. Our cultures has alot incomen. Cheers

[@Makolki]

Maybe, but we´ve lost. Tiocfaidh ár lá for the fighting irish!

[@ImagesByDavid]

@TinyArts Im messing too buddy!...but us natives didnt lie down to the Vikings or the British. The 50% Celt in you will understand the other 50% Viking will just have to understand.

[@MrCadorel]

si quelq'un pouvait me traduire ce titre ,ca serait sympa,a bientot:

[@Nmccarville]

@Panczekolada The Americans, 3/4 of europe where screaming at Britain to release Ireland or at least come to a compromise. The Irish at the time had down something no ever did to that point brought England to the Negotiation table it only to 50000 Irish dead before that happened Millions more in the last half century its easy to be critical of a people that are fight for home and country .

[@dtzjones7632]

Nmccarville WoW the Welsh were suppressed as well our Welsh lanuage was banned from being taught b.coz we were a poor country the English built schools then banned our lanuage being taught which means most off Welsh people can't speak Welsh and that's a crying shame also the queen still has sovereign in Wales prince Charles prince of Wales is a fuckin joke!!!!! I really do understand your anger Ireland has suffered so much for such a small country it's barbaric cruel and disgusting💚please enjoy the music of Ireland it's amazing💚🌈🙏

[@bb41476]

Is that why they were defeated at Stalingrad?

[@sheilaowens55]

In '"The Gangs of New York" (which is supposed to be mostly based on facts) the Irish immigrants were led off the boats and made to sign papers and told they had to go and fight for Lincoln. In one scene part of this song is sung. Singer sounds just like Delores Keane, not sure. Any case, the Irish got the shaft. I'm an American and proud to be of Irish decent. I am ashamed of some things done in my country.

[@thomaskelly5349]

Yes the Jews have done a number on the Irish Italian German polish Catholics there

[@NILLUMS009]

FROM THE HERT ///////////////////

[@grogscol]

Could be something to do with the English occupation of Ireland for 800 years and the suppression of the Irish Language & Culture - "an fáth".

[@dtzjones7632]

grogscol 👋

[@RonaldEng-c9y]

Ar dheis Dé go Raibh a hAnam 😢

[@skladanowski]

I'm not going into translation of this song. U tell me what Paddies are thankful to French. Besides the phoney help of 1798.

[@cullybog87]

maith an Cailin

[@Nmccarville]

@Panczekolada but is it right to turn you back on your county you National pride while all the other Celtic Nations fell to England. Ireland is for the Irish NO ONE else the english in history where beyond cruel 750 years of cruelity and the Irish as a culture remembered every slight and in the end it was not voilence that got ireland its freedoms it was World Presure on Britain remember at that time they had just finished a war to free the small countries of europe...

[@gpwhitem]

"I speak better french than Irish, but that's because of the brits." Can someone please explain what this means? I'm from America, I know so little....

[@carolegiovingo9051]

John Seymour Unitas this is a civil war song. About Irish immigrants in 1860’s forces to the north as soon as they got off the boat

[@Panczekolada]

Of course i am not offending anyone. And you see? I got downrated on my comments! Wondering why. Thanks for nice comment exchange, mate. ^^ - MisterChocolate out -

[@molealto]

I believe it is an American Civil War song.

@TinyArts Where did the Brits crush the Scandinavians and the Vikings came and we kick them up and down Ireland.

[@hamr3773]

how do you say with proper grammar in Gaelic, "My shillelagh I let fly"?

[@pinacoladathe5th]

eh?

[@honeycat535]

..forgot to thank them for the horse meat too!!

[@tomjohnston1220]

The people who insult the angel Sinead are the same idiots who are moaning about immigrants.

[@Panczekolada]

I don't think that you're right, friend. They weren't -evil-. Just the only thing they cared about was the British Empire. At the time where human was just a source of income they wanted to have as many -own- people as they could. I don't see anything evil in it. I'd say that france was more evil before britain. Guess my comment will get downgraded but i just wrote what i think. With sweet and coco respect -MisterChocolate

[@MikeMcMikerson]

I really liked this song...until you dedicated it to France..wtf Sinead...wtf..

[@williambourgeois7811]

It was because she were singing in France!

[@pinacoladathe5th]

"I speak better French than Irish, but that's coz of de Brits, goodnight" ahahahahahaha fair play to ye lassie, fair play =) =) =) =)

[@damiion666]

" Good anti-war song in general"...Not sure if it's an anti-war song. Sounds more like a home-sick song
