You're right, Roger, the song is sung by Mary Black on the CD "Éist, Songs In Their Native Language," on Dara Records. It's also on her own CD entitled "Collected", which you can find on the Dara Records site here.

And Ella, if you have some Irish AND the lyrics to this song, your best bet would be to get a recording of it and listen and practice singing with the singer. Writing out lyrics phonetically in any language is extremely difficult, and almost always leads to misunderstandings, since the way one person might "spell" a word and pronounce it can vary widely on how that word could be "read" and spoken by another person.

Besides, why not go back and revise your Irish? If you want to sing this song, you'll probably want to sing others in Irish, so go ahead and find a class and go for it!
