tapadh leat, a Ruairidh. Thanks for these interesting lyrics. The theme reminds me a bit of Alfred Noye's Highwayman. And of course there is a little similarity with the English language Go From My Window (go away from my window, my dear For the wind is in the west, and the cuckoo's in his nest And you cannot get a harbouring here.) I'm also thinking of the very different Gaelic song Gur Milis Mòrag because the married woman has taken a lover (albeit after her husband was mistakenly thought to have been killed at war)
