Hello, I´m looking for the words to An Spalpin Fanach. I´m not an Irish speaker so if anyone has the words written phonetically then that wood b grate, together with the gaelic(as it is written)version, even better. Slán. Tim.

There are texts in two earlier threads, here:  An Spailpin Fanach  and here:  An Spailpin Fanach.  Presumably you had a look at the "Digitrad and Forum Search" facility, but in this case the spelling would be a problem; searching for Spalpin would have got you no results.  As a rule I wouldn't recommend trying to sing a song in a language you don't understand; it's always best to learn a few rules of pronounciation first, and at least a little basic grammar if you really want to do justice to the piece.  Some past discussions here contain links to online introductions to the pronounciation of Irish Gaelic; you might try having a look around for some of those; I'm sure you'd find it worthwhile.
