Philippa; thanks for the suggestion. They do not list it there; like I said, the album itself only states the lyrics cannot be translated because they have mutated in the course of oral trasmission, or something like that... I did, however, find lots of lyrics for Ailein Duinn; most of which are very unlike the ones I have been singing for years; seems like there are several versions included there, which is interesting. It is a nice website which I will bookmark. thanks. Stil looking for this song though! Will let y'all know how it turns out.
