Thank you Jerry, you are right - I'm sorry for the misprint.

However I'm not completely guilty, as the lyric (and the typo) comes from the official L. McKennitt site (http://www.wbr.com/mckennitt/lyrics4.html) maintained by Quinlan Road. I saw this lyric at this site - I verified it was missing in DT - I posted it by 'cutting and pasting'. That's all. I really couldn't spot the typo. By the way, what 'Tirra lirra' means?

Sorry, there's no Italian emendation. Maybe the misprint (or emendation, as you call it) is British or American.

Bye
