Tana French's latest thriller, The Searcher (basically Shane, set in the Old West, which is to say the west of Ireland) has a song translated into English, but described in the text as in Irish. I can't place it. From the text:
==
Sometimes he sings a line or two, in Irish. In that language his voice takes on a different tone, a husky, absent crooning.
'That's a song about a man who goes to the fair and sells his cow,' he informs Cal, over his shoulder, 'for five pounds in silver and a yellow guinea of gold.
And he says, "If I drink all the silver and squander the gold, why should any man care, when it's nothing to him?"'
'He says, "If I go to the woods picking berries or nuts, taking apples off branches or herding the cows, and I lie under a tree to take my ease, why should any man care, when it's nothing to him?"'
'The man says,' he tells Cal, '"People say I'm a useless waster, with no goods or fine clothes, no cattle or wealth. If I'm happy enough to live in a shack, why should any man care, when it's nothing to him?"'

Any idea?
