mayomick Lyr ADD: Is Mise Raifteiri / I'm Raftery the Poet (15) RE: Is mise raifteiri - file lyrics by elea 29 Jan 20

Thanks for the refresh, starship -thanks Joe Offer for the link to
Eleanor Shanley and John McCartin's fine rendition . Who was it translated the words that Eleanor uses, anyone know? I saw some Douglas Hyde translations of Rafteri's poems a few years ago but can't remember where or whether this one was included . I recall Douglas Hyde's translation of Bridin Vesey being very different to the one I've seen on mudcat .
Google links to a Tuam Recorder review from 1904 of :"The Lays of a Western Bard — Sons Ascribed to Raftery — Translated by Dr. Douglas Hyde.Price 3s 6d .There doesn't seems to be any copies or reprints available .
