Only sad and utter ignorance of the Irish languague could have produced the ridiculous paddywhackery of jim dixons version of An Dhroimfhionn Dhonn Dilis. For the original /poem song as composed in18th cent Gaelic and better translated to English see Thomas Kinsellas book Poems of the Dispossed. This poem/song is widely used as an intertextual device in Eoghan O'Tuariscs novel about 1798 "L'Attaque." The cow is actually a hidden reference to Eire, as was Roisin Dubh in the aisling. |
