Maith thú, a Mháirtín! Thank you so much for sharing your research with us. I haven't had a chance to see if this version matches the one that Iarla sings, but will do today and let you know. I think I like this version more than the others we've discovered. The poetry is very good, and the rhythm of the words is so smooth, yet at the same time, evocative.

Now you can't leave us wondering what all those splendidly eccentric comments are! I'd love to see those, too (of course, after you've let your poor tired fingers have a rest).

Go raibh maith agat arís, Áine

(Agus fuair mé do litir san phost inné. Buíochas duit as an ghar a rinne tú domh. Caithfidh mé cúpla lá a thabhairt isteach an seanchló an-ornáideach a aistriú agus níl mé cleachta leis. Ach nach breá an dúshlán é?)
