Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Aon Focal Eile
"Aon focal eile" literally means "one more word" or "another word". "cúpla focal" means "a few words" and is a standard cliché for language tokenism in Ireland.

All this sounds very dry but in fact - the key to the song is that the word is pronounced "fuck-al" or, as near as dammit "fuck-all"!
