For Ireland, I won't tell her name Ar Eirinn Ni Neosfainn Ce Hi

Sung by louise 2001
It's basically a love-song, and can be sung as that alone.
However, as it was composed at a time that patriotism had to be disguised, it contains a subversive message.
The clue is in the title when the singer says that 'Ar Éireann - for Ireland' he wouldn't reveal her name. But he has done so - he has mentioned 'Éireann' and this is his true love.

I think you have done this song beautifully !! Your voice is wonderful, thank you*

by far my favorite song - I first heard this song being played by " Dervish " on a mixed celtic album.

[WhereIsTheLine1]

Brilliant. One of, if not the best version I've heard.
