Alison,

I have only heard it in Gaelic sung on a record by Mary O'Hara... Songs of Ireland. She sings three verses, the meaning of the first is the one about St. John's eve. The other two verses are roughly, "Isn't my little boat beautiful floating in the harbor? And the oars pulling strong and quietly. How magnificently she leaps the high waves. How light to carry up from the strand." The tune is unique and haunting. If you can't find a recording, (and I have never found the music,) then email me with your phone number and I will call you and sing it to you over the phone. acflynn@mcn.net Alice in Montana
