Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Brídín Bhéasach
"Brid Bheasach (traditional)
      Brid Bheasach (BREE-dge VAY-suck) means Ladylike Bridget and recounts her bitter recriminations agains marriage. The song is quite enigmatic and could be construed as the pained reminiscence of an old woman (soon to be 101) whose lover married someone else."
