Turas Siar 158 - Máire Uí Chaoimh as an gCloich Mhóir, Acaill, ag caint le Máirtín Mac Donnchadha faoi Bhríd Mhic Confhaola, filíocht ‘Seán agus An Bás’

Agus chuir sé sin Dominica Coscair ag smaoineamh agus sin é an fáth gur gur chum go ndeirtear gurb shin é an fáth go mbin é an t-údar a bhí ag Dominica Coscair lena chumadh ach mar a deirim deireann daoine eile gurb é Seán Ó Muineacha nó Seán Seán a chomhrá féin a scríobh é agus a chum é ach bailíodh leaganacha dhó thall i Chicago, i Meiriceá is cosúil.

And that made Dominica Coscair think, and that's why it is said that this is the reason why Dominica Coscair was the author of the composition, but as I say, others say that it was Seán Ó Muineacha or Seán Seán who wrote and composed it himself, but versions of it were collected over in Chicago, in America it seems.

He was, he was up in the north of the country learning the trade of tailoring initially.

Agus tháinig sé abhaile tríd Iorras.

And he came home through Erris.

Fríd Inis Bigil agus go hAcaill ansin.

From Inis Bigil and then to Achill.

An táilliúr gorm a bhí air mar gheall ar an culaith gorm a bhí sé i gcónaí ag caitheamh.

The blue tailor was called that because of the blue suit he was always wearing.

Sea, agus arb eisean a chum uaisle Acla?

Yes, and who composed the nobility of Achill?
