Thread Name: Lyr Req: Bóthar Cluain Meala
Subject: RE: Help, Lyrics: 'Bóthar Cluain Meala'
In fact the Nua Duanaire reference was incorrect - back to Príosún Cluain Meala again!

I finally found a partial set of words, with a translation, in notes I think I got from Ian Lee, who teaches part of the Traditional Singing Workshop at the Willy Clancy Summer School. I'll transcribe them when I get a chance. I have no recollection of his discussion of the song - which looks like part of a lonnger one. I should have Nioclás's recording somewhere, also...and will compare.
