Thread Name: De Dannan song with 'Heng Heng'
Subject: RE: De Dannan song with 'Heng Heng'
not that I recall meself, Meself. Are you thinking of Bothy Band's Fionnaghuala
Here is another recording of "Horo Haradalda" by Dolores Keane and John Faulkner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TK9CTi3e_z4 Craig Cockburn writes: "The name of this song is "Dance to Your Shadow" words Kenneth Macleod, arranger Marjorie Kennedy-Fraser, tune anonymous and collected in Eigg from Marion Macleod, Kenneth’s elder sister."
As Sung by Christine and Matthew Weir Horo haradala horo haradala horo haradal heingi handan. Dance to your shadow when it's good to be living lad Dance to your shadow when there's nothing better near x2
I've never thought this song sounds very Scottish; the vocables sound Oriental to me!
Hin hin haradala hin hin haradala hin hin haradal hin haradal ho x2 There are tunes in the River Otter, pools in the river Water pools in the river, and the river calls him x2
Hin hin haradala hin hin haradala hin hin haradal hin haradal ho x2
