Dear Joerg,

Here's a very good site to help you with pronouncing the words in this song:

Beginner's Guide to Irish Gaelic Pronounciation

I suggest that you study this, and then listen to the song a few times while looking at the lyrics -- and practice, practice, practice. I'm sure you'll do a fine job with it!

As for the midi file, I'm going to ask another Mudcatter (who knows more than I do about sound files) to come into this thread and give you some advice on that. I would really like to hear this song; the words are just so lovely.

Be patient, and we'll get you fixed up real soon! ;-)
