"seisreach" is a plough or a team of horses linked to a plough The translation supplied by Jim Dixon 03 Jul 02 above is quite good too. I see this translation on several internet sites, but none of the pages I looked at credits the translator. Brian O Domhnaill (from Anagaire Co Donegal, clickable link above to sound recording/video) and Máiréad Ní Dhomhnaill (strong family links to nearby Rann na Feirste, Co Donegal/Dhún na nGall/Tír Chonaill)sing a different, and very nice, air to the one most people are familiar with. It's a very nice air, i.m.o. You can find a youtube recording of Máiréad Ní Dhomhnaill singing Róisín Dubh.
