I didn't mean to imply that the late and great Ronnie Drew wasn't in any way doing justice to the song. However, the lovely gravelly voice he used would not ever sound like anything than pure Liffey.
No doubt, there is some hispanophone (is that a fancy word for a native speaker of Spanish ?) writing somewher that he has difficulty in following Ronnie's english lyrics ...
