Loreena McKennitt - Stolen Child

على بطن طفلكم و على بيت شعبكم🇯🇵

عربي؟

Touched my soul💚🌄

Scotland still calls me...

It's called me, too ... very strongly. Something special about Scotland and its people. 🌷

La sua voce mi porta in un altro universo.. Grazie

Tο κλεμμένο παιδίKατ’ όπου σκάζει κύμα το φεγγάρικαι με φως τη σκοτεινη άμμο σκεπάζει,–ακτή ακτές μακριά από το Pόουζες–σέρνουμε γόνατα, σέρνουμε πέλματα,και πανάρχαιους χορούς υφαίνουμεπλέκοντας δάχτυλα, πλεκοντας βλέμματα,μέχρι να δύσει η μέρα το φεγγάρι· χορεύουμε, χορεύουμεκαι κυνηγάμε τ’ αφρισμένα κύματα,ενώ στον ύπνο του ο κόσμοςκοιμάται άγχος και διλήμματα.Σήκω, παιδί, ακολούθησέ με!Aκολούθησέ με στ’ άγρια νερά,τα νεραϊδένια· πιάσε με απ’ το χέρι:καν δεν φαντάζεσαι τι θρήνος είναι ο κόσμος. WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

Mistik bir sesin var kadın

Yeats sanki şiiri onun için yazmış

Mystical, magical, enchanting are only three words...

With all due respect it's a poor interpretation of the poem.The Waterboys version of the poem is without doubt the best version, probably because of their Scottish and Irish connections.It's also hard to expect a Canadian to understand the connections between the Shee and the peasant folk beliefs; and the sadness the poem is meant to convey.There are some songs best left to the culture they came from.

@avi gold WADR, I think you are replying to the wrong person.We have already concluded our discourse.

@hideare Your right, my comment is a little insensitive.I will edit out the offending word.I still stand by the main theme of my Post.

@Michael Halligan im sorry too...but this you must understand...even if you are 100% right, that kind of language will not enlighten people or improve their musical taste, it will only offend them. I think, unless someone is destroying or insulting this culture by their work, you shall at least tolerate them.

@hideare True..

Love this version, adore the Waterboys version too. Each to their own, beauty is in the eye of the beholder - which applies to all art.

and fix the head not to be brainwashed by the english to go into evil and fatalism, stolen, , well that's evil to steal children

Grande Lorena espectacular vídeo y mejor voz

Loreena could sing about boiling cabbages in mid winter and it would be as if one had passed into and through heavens pearly gates.

I love this thank you 😭❤️😫 i feel like it has a meaning or a story to this song😭

It is a poem by WB Yeats.

Grand vídeo clip genial Beautiful

very well

Gorgeous

One of my favorites!

Beautiful music. I heard Stolen Child with another theme sung by men band which I forgot their name right now. And some of the verses were read.

the waterboys! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg-oJKYIinQ

@ktaboo That's the one. Thanks

Nice 💙

Gracias.

no lyrics.

lyrics is below

On the bright side, berries are healthier than candies as far as kidnappings go! :D

There're no lyrics on the screen.

They are in the description.

@Deano Essex I know, dear, I'd seen the video description, but the title lead us to think that they are on the video and in this way it would be much nicer. It's just a note, you do what you want.

For the world's more full of weeping than ye can understand...wouldn't you go too?

I am in love with a wizard. I have not met him yet, but he gives me love through music like this.

@Tony Graham Maybe I will. Maybe he's just a part of my own consciousness that I am not aware of yet. Maybe he is the man of my dreams, communicating with me on the psychic level. Maybe he is my ex (who was psychic) still trying to connect with me, or maybe these feelings are because of the deep psychic connection we once had, and we still connect sometimes even though we are not together. Or maybe it's all a bunch of bullshit. I have no idea. All I know is, sometimes I have these dreams and they give me hope, and they help my heart heal. Whoever this man in my dreams is, I love him. He is magical. He can travel across all space and time, and give me comfort and love in a strange way. Yet he is mysterious because I can never get close enough to him or get to know him. He's just a figure, and ideal, an idol, an imaginary lover.

Kaiser Frost wow, that’s deep!

Kaiser Frost I have a feeling that this wizard is going to take you on a mystical journey or something ☝️😀

@Tony Graham Thank you. I hope so.

@Tony Graham maybe of mythical proportions.🎪🐉

Guys dislike button is not download button don't click it :(

My 2% Sitting duck theory: So beautiful, the textures of all our qualities the perceptions dwell within; each other, meaning life's values to see so many. But will they forever reason places our hearts feel truly giving that respected tradition, forever freely accused to destroy? It's not just a painted landscape: it's its own universe, simply giving, but is that order, so much in wanting us if we never bothered wanting it? Does it ever flow to an answer worth having or just a fritz to spit around? That's not even an answer. Is this the way to hate? That's all you deny it as thinking. Why? But just get chewed apart. It's fun. No it's not! That's wishful (lying). And you're not miserable! How on earth that was implied... Such a sick worthless grace < time. Be mysteriously - free.! Just twinkled w/ someone - cookie cook. You apparently need to, past any non-desire, as much as the last post!:The bride wore yellow: the day before the earthquake, Sarah Palin gave the Alaskan state legislature last year's worst Christmas present: next year's new year's baby (make believe).Everyone can be what they want. "It's just artistry, and vain." Well, if that's your answer for your children, stop! persecuting! people so badly without their options, not just as vain options, to raise for the world's divisions. They'll get away with perfecting that more if you don't allow it, a level; Nature fighting for itself, just playing; and worth securing! this vast - these very vast - spaces. But you're right - I am - it's not the true teaching, what actually IS, barely mixed in as such, I originally taught, which was more boring. But fun is way more important, fun with animals. So close to all our unimaginable intelligence; be afraid - of locks. Sorry about the insult. But you ought to get your hair pulled.

A real soul full melody done with perfection, and true grace!

Per usual, so gorgeous. The Waterboys quite a while ago did a Stolen Child song, spoken words by an Irish fellow, quite wonderful with a different atmosphere.Lance

Awesome singer

My favorite song of all time

Austin Jenson so true !

🙏😘❤️

🍀🍃💚🍃🍀

I love this, but why,the sound of barking dogs? I love dogs too!!

@Emily Falk Have Aliens replaced fairies? Whitley Srtieber posed that question.

@Tom Keegan I haven't heard of Whitley Streiber; I'll look him up. I read about this from Graham Hancock's book, I think it was called Fingerprints of the Gods. Hancock postulates that faeries, aliens and gods are all a continuation of the same phenomenon. I have to admit, I'm convinced.

@Emily Falk I've read Fingerprints of the Gods too!!! one of the best books I ever read, it does not mention fairies.

It's the sound of the Wild Hunt.

I think that the dogs are leading the search for the child

Estupendo!

Much of this, perhaps most, is in SW Ireland. Some of the scenes: Kenmare Bay, Healy Pass

McKennitt set the lines of this beautiful and poignant poem by William Butler Yeats to her own lovely music. The results are haunting!https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/stolen-child

Beautiful voice😍😘

prachtig

For some strange reason this strongly reminds me of a Christmas song.. deep, powerful, beautiful, warm..

Nice Video, but please check your copy of the poem, some of the punctuation breaks the original sentence structure, and so could mislead new readers. thanks!

Copy and pasted from a Google page..

The first result after googling "The Stolen Child" is Poets.org, and the text is as follows:Where dips the rocky highlandOf Sleuth Wood in the lake,There lies a leafy islandWhere flapping herons wakeThe drowsy water rats;There we’ve hid our faery vats,Full of berrysAnd of reddest stolen cherries.Come away, O human child!To the waters and the wildWith a faery, hand in hand,For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.Where the wave of moonlight glossesThe dim gray sands with light,Far off by furthest RossesWe foot it all the night,Weaving olden dancesMingling hands and mingling glancesTill the moon has taken flight;To and fro we leapAnd chase the frothy bubbles,While the world is full of troublesAnd anxious in its sleep.Come away, O human child!To the waters and the wildWith a faery, hand in hand,For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.Where the wandering water gushesFrom the hills above Glen-Car,In pools among the rushesThat scarce could bathe a star,We seek for slumbering troutAnd whispering in their earsGive them unquiet dreams;Leaning softly outFrom ferns that drop their tearsOver the young streams.Come away, O human child!To the waters and the wildWith a faery, hand in hand,For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.Away with us he’s going,The solemn-eyed:He’ll hear no more the lowingOf the calves on the warm hillsideOr the kettle on the hobSing peace into his breast,Or see the brown mice bobRound and round the oatmeal chest.For he comes, the human child,To the waters and the wildWith a faery, hand in hand,For the world’s more full of weeping than he can understand.Loreena does make minor adjustments for artistic polish, but otherwise leaves punctuation in tact.

Hermosa voz y canción =)

I love how she does Yeats.

Loreena is the most complete woman. Nobody did better.Only a ANGEL like her can reach the PERFECTION, the INSUPERABLE.LOREENA is IMMORTAL.She belongs to the PARADISE. LOREENA is a CELESTIAL MUSE.She is the music QUEEN. GODDESS of the human heart. GODDESS of sensitivity.LOREENA forever, for the eternity. Ever and ever. Oh, beloved GODDESS.

Would you write a poem for her? Lol

Or maybe that is your poem...

It's a poem by William Butler Yeats

"with lyrics". Yeah....

In the deacription

Beautiful voice.perfect

Wonderful song and such a beautiful video! <3

These lyrics are actually a Poem written by Irish poet, WIlliam Butler Yeats - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stolen_Child

tres belle chanson tres belle voix j'adore ca me fait rever

For those who don't know: the lyrics are from a poem of the same name by Irish poet William Butler Years.

Ach ye Faeries; and where are you all now? I would seek an ancient glamorie....long sought, but ne'r found. I've walked along a stony shore and found a hammerstone, once bashed by human hands. No other trace of any more. It's wielder gone to be dust now, and buried under ground. Ach, Faeries, and where are ye all now? I've walked along the hushed paths beneath a shadowed forest. Heard creaking in the wind, Were there voices there I could not comprehend? The scent near made me dizzy. Ach, Faeries where were you then? No magic in my life, save, perhaps Loreena"s songs.

"Up the airy mountain Down the rushy glen We dare not go a-hunting For fear of little men."

Did you write that, Richard? If so, how lovely!

🍀💟🍀

I love it!!

i came here for Adrian x 05.06.2017

such an incredible voice...love this song so much. it makes me dream.

Came here 'cause a winrar crack guide had this song playin' on the background

me too lol

oh my god. same here.

Same lol

Chittchatto guy <3

I think she's saying "the world's more full of weeping than ye can understand".I could be wrong.

roger, i believe that is right, but at the end it is "you" can understand

It is from the Poem by William Butler Yeats and in his poem the line is "For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand." So you are correct Roger.

In the original poem, in the verses it's "... you can understand, but Yeats changes it in the last line to "...he can understand".

tout simplement Magnifique.

Beautiful and enchanting! But the voice doesn't sound like Loreena McKennitt. Beautiful though!

lenkapolka no conoces la voz de Loreena entonces

This album is from the early 90s, so if you are more familiar with her newer material, then she may sound somewhat different to you.

Thank you, I actually am not familiar with her older songs so that's why I thought it may not be her. Now I know, thank you :)

quie inredible
