Thread Name: Londonderry Air's original (Gaelic?) words
Subject: RE: Londonderry Air's original (Gaelic?) words
Back to the original question about the Gaelic (orginal?) version) which has not yet been answered. Martin Ryan is correct about Irish words written for the air by Osborn Bergin. The Title was called "Maidin i mBeara". It begins thus:
"Is e mo chaoi gan mise maidin aerach Amuigh i mBeara im sheasamh ar an dtra"
Sorry for omission the fadas - they don't come ouyt on this site. Why?
