Subject: RE: Lyrics Coinleach Glas An Fhomhair/Translation
I've come across yet another translation. The Irish language lyrics and an English language translation were published by Douglas Hyde in the 1890s, and are reprinted in Hyde. "Amhrán Chúige Chonnacht I-III", edited by Breandán Ó Conaire. Dublin:Irish Academic Press, 1985
Hyde compiled his version from a manuscript by Nicholas O'Kearney. Nioclás Ó Cearnaighof County Louth and from the recitation of an unnamed 'old woman' in the county Mayo.
