This song has a little explanation.
It's in our old language, which is still used.
We [F#] call it Gaelge.
And this song comes from a Gaeltacht, and it comes from a time when religion was forbidden,
and our own religion was forbidden.
Another religion was being brought in, and this song is to be sung.
It's a love song, and the singer asks the question,
Were you at the mass rock? _
_ [A] Did you see my love?
Was she shining [F#] and beautiful?
Was she [F] asking for me?
Or was she the fruit of womanhood, and was she asking for me?
And the second verse goes, Yes, I was at the rock.
Yes, I saw your love.
Yes, she was absolutely _ [E] gorgeous, [F] and _ no, she wasn't.
Or yes, she was.
It depends _ whether, and this [F#] is the code [F] of the song.
The answer at the end would be either yes or no.
_ _ _ If the answer, the song would be sung in [F#] public, gathering of people, and if the answer was
yes, it would mean that the local people would be safe to go to this secret place,
the rock, to practice their service, their mass.
And if the answer was yes, they could go, and if the answer was no, they couldn't go.
So it's a code song, but it's very beautiful. _ _
