Casann é ag Colm Ó Caodháin as Carna, Co. na Gaillimhe. Seo daoibh na nótaí (i mBéarla) san leabhar beag a tháinig in éineacht leis an cheirnín: "A song dating from famine times (aimsir an droch shaoil). When Indian meal was being distributed as relief to the people, a Mr. Joyce (Seoighe) was organising the scheme in the Carna district. A local poet, said to be Tomás Shiúnach, wrote this song in praise of Joyce and his wife, in the hope of getting some extra relief for himself and his family. The song is a mixture of exaggerated praise and pathetic pleading. The last two lines of verse 3 are intriguiing as they suggest that the reason for the Queen's illness is the fact that she is not the wife of the said Mr. Joyce. The singing of Colm Ó Caodháin here is quite unique in that he has several notes which he holds over a number of beats, with one note in each of the three verses being particularly long. These long wailing notes are reminiscent of keening." |
