Susan was just making sure that your thread didn't fall off the page, by "refreshing" it (posting a new message) for you.  Perhaps it would be a good idea if you posted the lyrics (with a translation if you have one), as a lot of us are not familiar with the band you mentioned, but might be able to help if you gave us a few clues.  Is this Irish or Scottish Gaelic?  There are quite a lot of songs about people called Sile, as it's quite a common name!

Failte Malcom,

at the end of this message I put the lyrics of Sile as played by Reeltime (to solve the problem of typing accents in Irish, I used the Italian ones and you can invert them when you are reading - you can also download or listen this song as played by Reeltime at this URL:

I put there the file in mp3 format; it isn't a good recorder but you can have an idea)

Let me know something

SÌLE

Bheadh buachaillìn deas ag Sìle dà bpòsfadh sì mè mar fhear
Mharòinn an breac ar an taoide is coinìn ar an ndumhaigh chomh maith
Nì iarrfainn leì capall nà caoire, airgead buì nà geal
Mar go mb'fhearr liomsa agam mar mhnaoì ì, nà aon inion rì dar mhair

Tà màithair gan taise ag Sìle, is nì bhratheann sì a croì ròmhaith
Tà sparàn mòr fada aici lìonta ag lorg talamh gan cìos le fear
Chuma lèi ard è nò ìseal, ba chuma lèi bùi nò geal
'O ba chuma lèi cam è nò dìreach ach bheith aige caoire is ba

Nì mar sin mar mheasann mo Shìle, b'fhearr lèi mise nà mile fear
Mar is meidhreach is ea sheinnfinn ar phìob dì, is is greanta do rincfinn dreas
Chuirfinnse i dtalamh na sìolta is bhainfinn arìs thar n-ais
Nuair a thiocfainnse abhaile nì bhruìonfainn ach ag reacaireacht grinn lem shearc

Tà mo mhargadh socair le Sìle, is nì bhrisfeadh Èire ar fad
Gan spleàchas dà màthair nà muintir, rachaidh sì chun cinn gan stad
Pòsfam sa chathair an mhì seo is an sagart a dhìol go maith
Is nì dòichì go bhfanfam sa tìr seo, ach ag reachtaireacht sìos amach
