Would some of you mind having a listen to this song (shouldn't be a hardship...it's a lovely song!). I need some help figuring out what's happening in one line. From what I have, it should be "ag sábháil gach créatúr," but it sounds like she's singing "ag sábháilte" which doesn't seem to make a lot of sense unless it's a dialect feature of some sort. The word comes at 1.43 in the video (might want to start at 1.40 so you hear from the beginning of the verse)

ag sábháilt with a -t (Munster dialect?)
(compare last line of previous stanza)
The (e) is probobly due to the tune :) (there's another vowel after gach)

Quote:
Nár thairgeadar na trí seoide dhó,
Mar bhí ór buí agus aiteas,
Nó gur dhiúltaigh sé an méid sin
Ag sábháilt gach peacadh

Ag sábháilt(e) gach(a) créatúr
Dá raibh i bpéin mhór ná i ndeacair
Ag tabhairt dídean faoina scéith dhóibh,
Is dháréag de na haspail.

That makes sense. Thank you!
