A St. Paddy's Day Love Song
Welcome to Your Love Breakthrough! Get Real. Love.
In this edition: A St. Paddy's Day Love Song
The song I'm sharing, Eileen Aroon, is one of my favorites from the album "The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem", a collaboration of the celebrated Irish folk singers. My family would listen to this album year-round, but especially on St. Patrick's Day.
Since I'm just learning the Sean-nos style of singing (a Celtic style that often includes ornaments and improvisation), I wanted to make a diversion from my usual post to share my rendition of a beloved tune about lasting true love.
You'll find the audio of me singing and a separate audio of the explanation.
I hope you enjoy this St. Patrick's Day nostalgia with me.\

Eileen Aroon Lyrics
I know a valley fair, Eileen Aroon
I know a cottage there, Eileen Aroon
Far in that valley shade I know a tender maid
Flower of the hazel glade, Eileen Aroon
Who in the dance so fleet, Eileen Aroon
Who in the song so sweet, Eileen Aroon
Dear are her charms to me, dearer her laughter free
Dearest her constancy, Eileen Aroon
Were she no longer true, Eileen Aroon
What would her lover do, Eileen Aroon?
Fly with a broken chain, far o’er the sounding main
Never to love again, Eileen Aroon
Youth will in time decay, Eileen Aroon
Beauty must fade away, Eileen Aroon
Castles are sacked in war, chieftains are scattered far
Truth is a fixed star, Eileen Aroon
