Looks to me like its probably Seán Bán. The "phonetics" may relate to the line "A Sheáin Bháin beir orm, a Sheáin Bháin bréag mé" - Seán Bán, hold me/grab mé and woo me. The next words are probably "A Sheáin Bháin beir orm is tabhair sa gcoca féir mé" - 'Seán Bán, grab me and take me into the haystack'. Lenition of Seán and Bán in vocative case make it harder to spot the Seán Bán connection with the "phonetics". So a little personal interest - any vocative case in the Gaelic of Cape Breton these days?
