Thread Name: Lyr Req: Maire Bhruinneal / Mhaire Bruineall
Subject: RE: LYR req: Maire Bhruinneal
Mick - The title is a woman's name, the subject of the song. So whatever the title translates to.. Mary Brown? Anyone venture a guess here? I'm not up on Gaelic names except my own..

Benjamin - that's just the problem. I think I did send you those lyrics, but I can't figure out which verses apply to the song. I can't even figure out the one that opens "Oh Mhaire Bhruinneal", the very first one! So I figured that it'd be easier to ask for a direct transcript from the album if such existed.

Wolfgang - thanks for your kind offer... I'm amenable to either of those.. any volunteers? :)

Sla/n, Ciara
