Idir Caiseal agus Úrchoill a tharlaigh orm an chúlfhoinn
is í go ró-mhúinte gabhail tharaim insa ród;
rug mé greim cúil uirthi agus leag mé ar an driúcht í
agus d'fhág mé a croí brúite aici is í ag sileadh na ndeor.
Bliain ón lá sin a tharlaigh orm an stáidbhean
Is í go rómhúinte gabhail tharaim insa ród;
rug sí greim láimh’ orm agus chuir sí romham fáilte:
‘Is caidé mar ’tá do shláinte a ógánaigh óig?’
‘Seo litir ó m’athair agus beannacht ó mo mháthair
’s bí ag teacht chun na háite seo feasta níos mó,
gheobhaidh tú na táinte agus ór buí ina mhámaí
ach mise a bheith ar láimh leat an fhad is bhéas mé beo.’
‘Órú, leoga, maise a pháiste, ba doiligh dom a rá leat
sin athrú nach ndéanfainn ar chúig mhíle bó
ach ab é go bhfuil mé geallta le bliain mhór agus ráithe
leis an níon sin de Chlann Uí Dhálaigh as Contae Mhaigh Eo.’
‘Órú imigh agus déan sin, dheamhan a miste liom féin é,
ní folamh atá Éire, tá fir eile le fáil,
is feasach domh céile nach nglacfadh pingin spré liom
ach a ghlacfadh mé i mo léine - cé nach folamh atáim.’
Ar an bhaile seo tá an chúilfhinn, is í an mhaighre dheas mhúinte í
is í an bhruinneall í is suáilcí ’á dtáinig ó mhnáibh,
is í mo shearc í, is í mo rún í, is í m’ansacht go buan í
is í an samhradh san fhuacht í idir Nollaig is Cáisc.

Hello Aidan, I purchased your new album in April and have enjoyed playing the download. When the it arrived in the post there was no physical CD inside the case. I have been promised a replacement but have still not received anything. I only need the CD - I have the case. Obviously I can create a CD from the download, but that’s not the point. Hope you can help.
Best wishes, Martin D’Arcy

Absolutely love that deep concertina sound. And the range of expression that Cormac brings out through this instrument, well beyond the intentions of the designers or makers of these instruments. And, feel sorry for his poor bellows and reeds. He has to do a lot of personal repair on them. Cormac's album design and presentation are beautiful works of art as well. See him in concert if you can. You can really feel those bass notes resonate through a hall. balinsky
