I feel like this may be asking a lot, but I've been trying to figure this out on my own for the better part of a week (even emailed the show - no reply) to no avail, so I thought I might try here.
I've been listening to RnaG on RTE as much as possible to try to "immerse" at least my ears in the language while I putter away aimlessly at grammar and vocabulary. On Monday (November 18th), on Ardtráthnóna(09:00 -11:00 on the schedule) , I heard a beautifully sung sean nos piece which made me stop everything and just listen. The host introduces the singer at the 17:20 mark of the program, and the song itself starts at about 17:44. I understand enough to know when he says her name, and the name of the song, but try as I may, I cannot turn what I hear into proper spelling to find the song elsewhere.

If anyone has a few minutes to listen to that segment of the show, and could let me know what they can come up with, it would be greatly appreciated.

go raibh mile maith agat in advance.

I can't find the actual lyrics online.

You are not asking a lot at all, we like challenges.

That web-site has led you astray, a Bhríd!

It's:
Caoirigh Na Japs – Sheep of the Japs

* note: caoirigh is pronounced as though it is spelled caoire (well, in Munster anyway)

Ahh thanks WFM
