I haven't read the discussion, coming to it after 21 posts. I do see that there are lyrics given for a number of songs. But I note the statement in the previous comment, "actually, I don't know why, they spell it 'Chill Mhuire'. I've seen both spellings ("Cnocáinín Aerach Cill Mhuire" and ""Cnocáinín Aerach Chill Mhuire"). I think "Cnocáinín Aerach Chill Mhuire" is correct, maybe someone else like Thompson or Martin Ryan can also give an opinion. The reason for leniting the word "Cill" is that it would be in the genitive case, to say "the little airy hill OF Kilmurry. I also wrote that in the thread that Keberoxu started specifically to discuss the Cill Mhuire song and tune. For a performance of Cnocáinín Aerach Cill Mhuire with harp, try to get the recording by Máire Ní Chathasaigh and Chris Newman.
