Subject: RE: All for Mary's Wedding - Irish tune?
The Gealic words are also about a wedding, which is why its original title was Mairi Bhan, which mean's Mairi's Wedding.

The English translation is a fairly accurate translation of the original Gaelic words.

The song was not written about a mod, it waswritten as a present for Mary MacNiven in celebration of the fact she'd just won the gold medal in one.

You didn't either read my post or the obituary I linked to properly.
