The mother of our Irish Language teacher(who is not my mother) has taught us many songs, and I'm pretty sure this one would have come up if it was in Irish. I know Len Graham does a different version of this. He is a Northern singer who gets his songs from diverse sources HERE'S A HEALTH TO THE COMPANY is the name I got from a quick Google search. I don't have the liner notes in front of me, so I don't know what he has to say about it. I know everything from DANNY BOY to DO DO RUN RUN and THE STREETS OF LONDON has been tranlated int Gaeilge by somebody, so it could be. I don't think that's the original tongue for this lovely tune.
