Lisa Kelly sings "Caledonia" at the Slane Castle, Ireland

Sung by Dolores Keane from Caherlestrane, County Galway.. Beautiful Scottish Love Song composed by a great Scots Poet Dougie MacLean: "I don't know if you can see The changes that have come over me In these last few days I've been afraid That I might drift away So I've been telling old stories, singing songs That make me think about where I came from And that's the reason why I seem So far away today Oh, but let me tell you that I love you That I think about you all the time Caledonia you're calling me And now I'm going home If I should become a stranger You know that it would make me more than sad Caledonia's been everything I've ever had Now I have moved and I've kept on moving Proved the points that I needed proving Lost the friends that I needed losing Found others on the way I have kissed the ladies and left them crying Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying I have traveled hard with coattails flying Somewhere in the wind (Chorus) Now I'm sitting here before the fire The empty room, the forest choir The flames that could not get any higher They've withered now they've gone But I'm steady thinking my way is clear And I know what I will do tomorrow When the hands are shaken and the kisses flow Then I will disappear."

Celic Thunder opens the 247th St. Patrick's Day Parade in New York City with Caledonia. **I am not in any way affiliated with Celtic Thunder (though I wouldn't mind being - wink wink). I am just a fan of their beautiful voices and I want to help get the word out about these guys! Their CD and DVD are out in stores and totally worth purchasing.

(2008) "Ireland's Call" (written by Phil Coulter) "Caledonia" (written by Dougie MacLean) アイルランドを舞台にした「ライアンの娘」という映画がある。貧しい市民の反英感情の中、英国軍人と満たされぬ心のアイルランドの娘の不倫がストーリーである。映画の舞台になった1916 年、アイルランド義勇軍は反英蜂起した。当時の銃弾の跡がダブリンの中央郵便局の柱廊に残っている。イオニア式の美しい建物の一角では、当時処刑された十五人の若者が切手となって販売されている。北海道と同じ面積の小国ゆえの悲哀の歴史を持つ、母国を鼓舞しようとする歌である。 There is a 1970 film "Ryan's Daughter" which tells the story of an Irish girl who has an affair with a British soldier around 1916, despite opposition from her nationalist neighbors. The General Post Office (GPO) in Dublin is the headquarters of the Irish postal service. During the Easter Rising of 1916, the GPO served as the headquarters of the uprising's leaders. The original columns outside are still pocked with bullet-marks. It seems to me that the song of "Ireland's Call" tries to be proud of a small country and its history. The area of Ireland is equivalent to that of the northern island (Hokkaido) of Japan. (by a viewer) Esta es una pelicula de 1970 "La hija de Ryan" la cual cuenta la historia de una mujer Irlandesa quien tuvo una aventura con un soldado britanico alrededor de 1916 a pesar de la oposicion de sus vecinos nacionalistas. La Oficina Postal General (OPG) en Dublin es el cuartel general del servicio postal irlandes. Durante la Pascua de Resurreccion en 1916, la OPG sirvio como Cuartel general de los lideres insurrectos. A mi me parece que la cancion de "llamado irlandes" trata de las glorias de un pequeno pais en la historia. El de Irlanda es equivalente a la Isla norte (Hokkaido) en Japon. 　　

CALEDONIA I don't know if you can see, the changes that have come over me In these last few days, I've been afraid, that I might drift away I've been tellin' old stories, singing songs That made me think, about where I've come from And that's the reason why I seem so far away today. CHORUS Let me tell you that I love you And I think about you all the time Caledonia you're calling me, now I'm goin' home But if I should become a stranger Know that it would make me more than sad Caledonia's been everything I've ever had. I have moved, and I've kept on movin' Proved the points that I needed provin' I Lost the friends that I needed losin' Found others on the way I've kissed the girls and left them crying Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying I 've traveled hard sometimes with conscience flyin' Somewhere in the wind CHORUS Let me tell you that I love you And I think about you all the time Caledonia you're calling me, now I'm goin' home But if I should become a stranger Know that it would make me more than sad Caledonia's been everything I've ever had. CHORUS Let me tell you that I love you And I think about you all the time Caledonia you're calling me, now I'm goin' home But if I should become a stranger Know that it would make me more than sad Caledonia's been everything I've ever had.
