Hi!

I remember Paul Brady singing this song about 1973 at an Irish Arts Center concert in the Bronx. I recall he translated it as being about "the impending marriage between a young man and a much older woman... and that was being kind to the older woman" and the title as being "She Could Be Your Grandmother." Joe Heaney, if I remember correctly, told me it was written about a relative of his.

Many of the great folk song collections do give alternate titles of their contents. The Sam Henry collection, for example, has a truly exhaustive index. I can only add that a translation of any non-English title would also be helpful.

All the best,
Dan Milner
