"Is óró mhíle grá, is óró mhíle grá...."

Children sing this song, I am given to understand. It is NOT a lullaby, because it is a bouncy, lively thing. It can be structured as a call-and-response ensemble song. What acquainted me with this song is a recording by the long-departed mezzo-soprano Máire Ní Scolaí. She sings it by herself with piano accompaniment, as she does a number of other songs on her long playing vinyl collection (on Gael Linn records).

This little song must be in print, but my internet searches do not work with the Gaelic script so they are missing everything in that lovely alphabet of characters. I found one version online, and the parts that match the recording are the lines that are repeated in each chorus; the lines that change from verse to verse, I don't know what Ní Scolaí is singing.

I don't see the song anyplace on Mudcat, although the title gets name-checked here and there. It's such a little thing, I hesitate to start a thread for it, so will post to this thread instead.
