Does anyone know a source to obtain traditional irish song lyrics written phonetically for learning the songs in Gaelic? I have found one Mel Bay Songbook with a few songs in it that includes a CD for just this purpose but it is very limited and there are many songs I would like to learn the gaelic lyrics for.
Thanks

Here's a book I found at Elderly: CLICK.

HERE is one song with both Gaelic and Phonetic lyrics listed.

Hope those help. That first listing is available at a lot of different palces, from what I saw on google.

I can recommend the first one, by Mary McLaughlin.
I had the good fortune to meet the lady at an Irish language summer school in Donegal this year..she's a great singer and runs a "Gaelic" choir near San Francisco.
She developed her phonetic system and produced the book (which includes a CD) especially for Americans who have no Irish.

Go n-eirigh an t-adh leat!
