Note the spelling of the title. See YouTube for A Chailin A`lainn sung by Tomás 'Jimmy' MacEoin & Arthur Cormack.

A search of Mudcat using the Google Advanced Search brings up this Mudcat thread:

A search using the old Advanced Search (in the dropdown menu, scroll down) Origins: an cailin ailinn gives a bit more information.
