      I saw it for free with my Grandmother (C na mB) in the Regal Hawkins Street.

      Here's a one hour documentary.

        I'm fairly sure you're familiar with Kate Bush's version...

          Not keen on that version, I have to say. Also looked at the translation into English today (want to learn the song) and her version is pants. Much prefer Michael Davitt's.

            The Michael Davitt ??? What's his connection with the song ?

              No, though that's what I thought at first! This Michael
              Davitt apparently reverses the meaning and makes the man into a "womanising drundkard" according to wiki. But the English words seem to make more sense in his version. I wish now I hadn't looked up the translation because it's kind of spoiled the beauty of the song for me.

                I'd never checked out the lyrics - I agree, it's a beautiful slow air.
