I never heard either song in French but there are two in Gaelic sharing the same name and several derivitives of one of them into English. To simplify I will refer to them as #1 and #2 .
   # 1 was written by Dan Alex MacDonald of Framboise, Cape Breton. It can be found published in Helen Creighton's "Gaelic Songs Of Nova Scotia" on page 48 titled "Oran Do Cheap Breatainn".
   # 2 was written by Johnathon MacKinnon of Whycocomagh. It was published first in his Gaelic newspaper, MAC TALLA , and later in Fad Air Falbh As Innise Gall (Beyond The Hebrides) by Professor Donald Fergusson, on page 132 as "Oran Do Cheap Breatuinn".
I am a bit short on time so I will add to this a bit later. Mudcat had some computer problems and the timeline of this thread is scattered. If you click on printer friendly it will arrange properly.
I'll be back.
