Does anybody have the full lyrics of this wonderful song? It appeared on the Ceol '07 compilation.
Thanks

Well, here's a start: Wikipedia has a description of the album "Ceol '07." Bevel Jenny is a band. GAN SCÍTH is the title of a song in Irish. It means "tireless" or "without rest" (according to Google).

It's not much, but it's more than we had to start with.

Thanks people, but I was just wondering if anybody had actually bought the album with the lyrics printed on it. I can figure out most of the words, but there are a couple of things that aren't very clear to me, particularly in the second verse, and it's bugging me.
I believe the song only appeared on that album (it was a charity album), but it wasn't available where I am and as far as I know is now only available for digital download, so sans lyrics sheet.
The song is haunting and evokes the image of a forest during a storm. It's not usually my type of thing, but I love this one.
Thanks again.
Peadar.

@guest999 - I may just try that e-mail address...

GAN SCITH
As recorded on the album Ceol '07

An corraí gan scíth
Is casadh de shíor

Siúd trí na crainn is trí na géaga
Tríd an gcoill – chugainn a thréan-neart.

Croitheann an domhan mór faoina chrúba
Nochtann conair roimhe go hiontach
Cith is dealán, dealán is cith
An gcloiseann tú an saol ag crith?

Tá alltacht ar gach neach sa choill bheag
An t-ainmhí nach eol dó moill bheag
Is éisteann ceathanna lena thrup
Na crainn go léir is iad 'na dtost.

Ar aghaidh ar aghaidh gan sos gan staonadh
Ar aghaidh ar aghaidh gan stad gan claonadh
Amach leis chun an mhachaire mhóir
'S an ní a bhfuil sé ar a thóir

Is moilleoidh sé i ndeireadh thiar thall
Is seasfaidh sé luath nó mall,
Is uch, a mhoing – a sheithreach bhuan!
Cling na gcrúb 's é ar shiúl.
