Thread Name: Looking for a happy lovesong in Irish...
Subject: RE: Looking for a happy lovesong in Irish...
Bit of a hard one, to find a happy irish love song... as most are love songs with a - oh she's left me but I still love her - or oh he's left me but I still love him, my love died and I still love him/her, my love is marrying another but I still love them... etc.

A lovely one though is...

A Stór Mo Chroí (Love of my heart)

Which is a lovely one. There's a good recording of it on the Chieftans, Heart of Stone recording.

It's about a persons partner who has left their home land to make a better living for them. Whilst the one left behind longs for the return of the their true love. Some nice words..

Or Shule Aroon

Which is in Gaelic, nice song

I've more, but unfortunately I 'm in the middle of moving house, so all my stuff is in boxes!
