Fields of Athenry // Поля у Атенрай (Russian folk accordion).

My favourite Irish song. I first heard it at the age of 18. 20 years later I recalled it. Together with my brother I decided to record a video of singing and playing this song on the Russian folk accordion. Performed by Ivan Zastrozhnov Idea and edition by Dmitrii Zastrozhnov Other participants: Oleg Zastrozhnov, Miya (dog) Filmed in Sosnovo (Leningrad Oblast’), Pitkyaranta and Impilahti (both Karelia) in summer 2021-2022 Instrument: Garmon’ (folk accordion) “Tul’skaya 301M“ Camera: Canon, DJI Phantom 4 Pro Mic: RØDE LYRICS: By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling “Michael, they have taken you away, For you stole Trevelyan’s corn, So the young might see the morn. Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.“ CHORUS Low lie the fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing We had dreams and songs to sing It’s so lonely round the fields of Athenry. By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young man calling “Nothing matters, Mary, when you’re free Against the famine and the crown, I rebelled, they run me down. Now you must raise our child with dignity.“ CHORUS Near a lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star falling As the prison ship sailed out against the sky Sure she’ll live to hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay She’s so lonely round the fields of Athenry CHORUS (x2) ________________________________________________________________________ Моя любимейшая ирландская песня “Поля у Атенрай“ (“The fields of Athenry“).
