Somebody was enquiring a while back about Ar Bhruach na Laoi. If it was you I apologise profusely as I gave you completely the wrong information. (I hadn't heard it at the time and I was guessing.) However I recently heard it on the radio (that is, if this is the one you mean!) with Liam Ó Maonlaí singing and Liam Ó Floinn playing the pipes. I found a text under the name "Ar Bhruach na Laoi" in a book called "Binneas thar Meon 1" (A Collection of songs and airs made by Liam de Noraidh in East Munster, Edited by Dáithí Ó hÓgáin, Published by Comhairle Bhéaloideas Éireann (1994), University College Dublin, ISBN 0 906426 154). The text is in Irish as you might expect and it includes the music in staff notation and also includes a translation. (Only one verse.)

Here it is as it appears in the above book :

AR BHRUACH NA LAOI Ar bhruach na Laoi ins an oíche casadh mé
Gan bhuairt ar m'aigne, ba dhóigh liom féin,
Nach gur chuireadh as an tslí mé le díth mo mhearbhaill
I gcuanta daingeana nárbh fhearrde mé.
Ní fheiceoinn an spéir le haon-neart mo mhearbhaill;
Is dá nochtfadh an ré cá ndéanfainn amharc air?
Dé' mhaith a bhí agam glaoch ná d'aoinne eile freagairt dom
Le fuaim gach caise agus gártha géim.

Translation as given :

On the banks of the Lee On the banks of the Lee I chanced to be at night, and I was thinking that I had no worry on my mind except that I was sent astray by my inflicting dizziness to deep recesses which were not good for me. I couldn't see the sky due to the great intensity of my dizziness. And if the moon appeared where could I look upon it? What good was it for me to call out or for anybody else to answer me, because of the noise of every current and the roaring outcry.

I hope this is the right one now. Ah but sure it was worth finding out about John Lyons anyway wasn't it??? If you need the staff notation give me your address and I'll send it to you.
Go n-éirí leat,
