Snip from thesession...the correct translation of the Welsh title is "Farewell to the Shore" - "marian" means "shore" or "stony ground" in Welsh, and apparently isn't a personal name in this context.

As P.S.S. often was moved to play games with words, maybe we could call this tune "Ffarwel I'r Shaw", I'm (shaw) he would approve.
