O'Risda's tune for it is beautiful but the words are far from singing the praise of women, let's put it that way. See here. |

There's a fascinating diversity of opinions in the programme "Aistear an Amhráin" but it would be better to continue the discussion on one of the earlier threads, where the lyrics are given, and where the ethical question of the song's questionable taste has already at least been hinted at. |
