Subject: One Morning in June Macaronic song
note re the 5 June post re ONE MORNING IN JUNE; there are two versions of the song listed here. The song sung by Lasairfhiona Ní Chonnfhaola and Eithne Ní Chathain has Irish and English language phrases intertwined in a continuous narrative
One morning in June agus mé ag dul ag spaisteoireacht?
Casadh liom cailín ba ró-dheas a gnaoi,?
She was so handsome gur thit mé i ngrá léithe? ...

(one morning in June and I out walking about, I met the most beautiful girl, She was so handsome that I fell in love with her ..)

Paddy Tunney sings a monolingual version of the song, completely in English, and he uses a different melody.

The linked mudcat post does give both versions of this song. I think in this case the bilingual version is actually the original, as is suggested by Fred McCormack in his post.
