Can anyone point me toward a publication available in the States that would include the text to Raftery's Gaelic poem/song, "Maire Ni Eidhin"? According to the liner notes in the Chieftain's second album, this is often sung to the tune "Banish Misfortune." Also--anyone know where where I can find the Gaelic for "I am Stretched On Your Grave"? The Voice Squad's liner notes suggest that the well-known English words are a translation of an anonymous Gaelic song--it's rather a disturbing song in English, and I'm curious about how disturbing the original might be... Go raibh chead mille maith agaibh, a chairde!
