Hmmm, Is it possible you're looking for "Theme from Harry's game" from Clannad?

thank you guys so much but it is not are you going to scarborogh fair,and robby i just looked the lyrics from clannad and its not that either but thank you for helping

Enya- Adiemus (may be)
you could try looking at some of her songs

Maybe you are looking for LOREENA MC KENNIT?

Yippieh, I have found it - hope it´s the one you are looking for:

Loreena Mc Kennit: She moved though the fair

thank you bluerose i just checked it but its not it,hey tahira you are great but its still not what i am looking for,that song has many versions and i heard the one from loreena but that one does not have the chant that the celtic woman have,someone should give you a medal for your hardwork

I heve tried to enter "she moved through the fair " in youtube, and there comes a whole lot, Sinnead o Connor, Mike Oldfield and many more I don´t know. Maybe you can try it too.

I only new the Loreena Mc Kennit Version as I have seen this Live concert on TV several times.

i found the video on youtube i just typed celtic woman she moved thru the fair and i listen to the song over and over but i cant seem to understand the lyrics in the beginning which are not english but irish i think the ones that choir sing,thank you so much tahira

MAybe they sing it sometimes partly in irish /gaelic as it is an traditional song?

yeah maybe it crossed my mind too though i cant believe it cant be found like they dont sing it at all

I have been reading through this thread and still didn't find if anyone knows what the choir sings in the background in the CELTIC WOMAN version of She Moved Through the Fair - can anyone help please? I listened to it over and over again and really can't get what they are saying...

PLEASE HELP! Thanks

hey guys stumbled across this post randomly and thought i would shed some light here. im afraid its not anything. there is no translation for the chanting in the background and is not listed in the lyrics ANYWHERE because they arnt actually even words.

typical of traditional celtic music is a style of vocalization known as "mouth music" its paramount to todays rappers "beatboxing". as women would work together they often sang. several women would often sing a common irish song as others formed a beat of gaeilge syllables.

the chanting you hear in the background or often times as the chorus itself of a traditional irish song is nothing more then a new way of bringing this form of traditional ancient "beatboxing" back to life. (check out "theme from harry's game" where the chorus is "Fol lol the doh fol the day, fol the doh fol the day" which means absolutly nothing. where the rest of the song is easily translated)

if your still curious the chanting is:

Si sana mo si ghianadh da ghan da siha sina sina ghianadh da si sana mo si sana mo si ghianadh da siha sana sana ghianadh da si sana

hope this helps

Thank you for letting us know!

By the way, welcome to this forums
