The "correct" text is in a little book called "Cas amhrán". Searc, (possessive: do shearc)means love. "a mhic dhil Dé" seems to have been written by someone who knows the words, but is a little unsure of modern Irish autography. It should read, "A mhic ghil Dé". If I find that book somewhere, I'll post the whole text. Oh, the "tuc tuc" text that someone posted is deffo written in Early Middle Irish. Looks fab, but nobody definitively knows how that should be pronounced. As a child we used to sing the version in "Cas Amhrán" in the Gaeltacht.
