Siubhan Ni Dhuibhir. Traditional Celtic melody.

Sometimes spelled Siubhan Ni Dhuibhir (Susan O'Dwyer), this is a beautiful old folk tune. Excuse my Gaelic pronunciation, I worked hard at it, but I am, regrettably unable to speak the beautiful language.
There are translations online, but it's basically about a Byronesque young man singing of how he met this beautiful girl, spent the money he should have spent on new boots drinking with her, and then laments his ill health.
Speaking of boots, there was record breaking cold at the time of filming. My hands were frozen, and the boots were not stylish, but warm, and safe for going over snow covered ice. At a certain age, this gains importance.
Enjoy.
