Thank you all for this incredible thread still going strong after 6 years now!
I am trying to translate and adapt The dawning of the day/Ragland road into Spanish, setting the action in the port of Valparaiso, Chile, as a story about an Irish sailor falling in love and losing the girl because his ship is bound to sail. It´s part of a project of adapting beautiful traditional songs from the many countries whose people have immigrated to this town over the centuries, as my family who came from Norway in the 'forties.
