about

This is an Irish language version of the folksong ‘Henry my Son’ or ‘Lord Randall’, a murder ballad thematically related to many European ballads in various languages. The song narrates the tale of a man who has been poisoned by his wife. On his death bed, his brother asks him what he will leave to his family members. He replies in one of the verses with a scathing revenge for his wife, damning her to hell:
‘What will you leave your wife, Oh, brother of mine?
What will you leave your wife, Oh, finest of men?
Hell as her home and heaven's gates closed
My heart is sore and will be forever more.’
