Subject: RE: Tune Add: DEUS MEUS
thanks Mario & Phillipa, my posting of the Middle Irish poem/lyrics may just muddy the water a bit, but they also clarify some of the questions I had about the Modern irish lyrics, yes, it should be dian, and go dian would mean intensly, love understood from previous verse. it's been recorded often, I've found, and will give a listen some time, as it is not part of American Catholic or Christian hymn tradition. An early macaronic, though, from 11th c. at that. I missed a line/stanza break, that some one might correct for me? and someone should post the corrected lyrics from Philippa sometime.
