A magnificent old Gaelic song, excellently performed by Savina Yannatou. It’s actually the best version of this song I could find on internet. I hope you’ll all enjoy Savina’s special voice. Bellow are the lyrics: Why should I sit and sigh, Puin’ bracken, Puin’ bracken Why should I sit and sigh On the hillside dreary? When I see the plover rising Or the curlew wheeling, Then I trow my mortal lover, Back to me is stealing. Why should I sit and sigh, Puin’ bracken, Puin’ bracken Why should I sit and sigh, All alone and weary? Why should I sit and sigh, Puin’ bracken, Puin’ bracken Why should I sit and sigh, all alone and weary? Why should I sit and sigh, Puin’ bracken, Puin’ bracken Why should I sit and sigh, all alone and weary? Ah! But there is something wanting. Oh! But I am weary. Come my blithe and bonny lad Come o’er the knolls to cheer me. Why should I sit and sigh, Puin’ bracken, Puin’ bracken Why should I sit and sigh, parted fae my dearie

Song: Don’t Say You Love Me By: The Corrs Lyrics: I’ve seen this place a thousand times I’ve felt this all before And every time you call I’ve waited there as though you might not call at all I know this face I’m wearing now I’ve seen this in my eyes And though it feels so great, I’m still afraid That you’ll be leaving anytime We’ve done this once and then you closed the door Don’t let me fall again for nothing more Don’t say you love me unless forever Don’t tell me you need me, if you’re not gonna stay Don’t give me this feeling, I’ll only believe it Make it real or take it all away I’ve caught myself smiling alone Just thinking of your voice And dreaming of your touch, is all too much You know I don’t have any choice Don’t say you love me unless forever Don’t tell me you need me, if you’re not gonna stay Don’t give me this feeling, I’ll only believe it Make it real or take it all away Yeah Yeah Yeah We’ve done this once and then you closed the door Don’t let me fall again for nothing more Don’t say you love me unless forever Don’t tell me you need me, if you’re not gonna stay Don’t give me this feeling, I’ll only believe it Make it real or take it all away Say you love me Don’t tell me you need me, if you’re not gonna stay Don’t give me this feeling, I’ll only believe it Make it real or take it all away Take it all away, take it all away

This clip is from a 1983 Irish TV programme called ‘Siamsa Cois Laoi’ which is Irish for ‘Music Beside the Lee’. The story goes is that the Irish built a giant new Gaelic (Irish Football) stadium just ouside Ireland’s second largest city Cork, beside the River Lee which flows through Cork. The GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) had a huge debt to pay off, so someone suggested a giant music festival every summer with a host of irish bands and a famous headline artist. Don McLean fitted the bill on two of the yearly shows, this being the first. The irish artists included bands like The Furey Brothers and Davy Arthur, The Wolfetones and various local artists. Problems struck when there was a TV strike just after the show had been recorded and about 8 months went by before they figured out how to use the footage which was quite old then. So when Don arrived in Ireland again, they decided on an interview with irish presenter Donncha O’Dulaing in a field amongst the haystacks, looking back at the concert the previous summer. The 25 minute TV show only featured four songs, the two featured here and then Vincent and American Pie, the usual suspects as they say. Further info. The song about the Mountains of Mourne (which are in Northern Ireland) is a very famous irish song, second only to Danny Boy. When Don first performed the song on Irish TV in the late 70s, it caused quite a stir because he changed the lyrics or sort of updated them. The original lyrics are below for comparison …
