Thanks Rita, an Gabhar Ban IS at the Ceolas site which can be accessed through the Portdillon page, but there are some errors in the transcription and gaps in the translation. The same transcription appears on an unofficial Clannad website. I'm in contact with Aine and other interested parties* and when we're confident we've got a properly improved version one of us will post it on this thread - and also try to get in touch with the providers of the insufficient websites. There are a couple of instances when I'm not sure if a word or spelling is wrong in the transcription or if it's an acceptible variant reflecting local dialect. Even the transcription on the album cover has an error or two.

(*but don't let that stop any other interested party from contributing)

If you're interested in a related English language song, see 'The Peeler and the Goat' in the DT database. - same air and similar story

happy solstice! finally the days will get longer (for those of us in the northern hemisphere)
