GUEST,Rory Lyr Req: Cad e sin don te sin (21) RE: Lyr Req: Cad e sin don te sin 09 Nov 20


Cad é sin don té sin is in Edward Fitzsimons 1814 publication:
Irish Minstrelsy: Being a Selection of Irish Songs, Lyrics, and Ballads.

But I can't get access to it. So I don't know if this is just the tune or has lyrics.


Skara Brae sang the song in 1971, so I am sure Ciarán Brennan (Clannad) is not the author.

I still think this is of 19th century origin.

The verse from the 1930s school song collection that Pillipa found points towards 19th century origin. This could be a floating verse that could appear in other songs, as part of it appears in Cad é sin don té sin.
