| - Gaoth Dobhair = Gweedore, a Gaeltacht region in County Donegal. They speak Ulster Irish there :) So, my translation would be: Little Green Glen of Gweedore | |

| - Tå sé galánta amhrán imirce. It is a beautiful emigration song. It is sung by Clannad and is also known in english as "Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore". The lyrics recall the beauty of Gweedore in Co. Donegal. Lyrics to songs are a great way to learn Irish and are available usually through a google search. | |
