Anyone know/have the words for the song ‘Beauty Deas an Oileáin’. Heard Eilís Ní Chinnéide sing it on “Nead na Fuiseoige” on RnaG, from her recent (?) album ‘Béilín Meala/One Sweet Kiss’, and it knocked my socks off.
Maybe it’s been published in a book? If so, I’d appreciate any pointers.
Níl trácht ar bith ar an idirlíon air. Go raibh maith agaibh.

I should point out that it’s the Irish lyrics I’m looking for, not an English translation (I understand Eilis Ní Chinnéide’s album includes only English lyrics, but I don’t have a copy yet, so correct me if I’m wrong).
Yes, I can get some of them from her singing, but the combination of her Kerry accent (I’m more Conamara) and the ‘mondegreen-effect’ (check it out: http://www.amiright.com/misheard/artist/nirvana.shtml) make it tricky in parts. Any help appreciated!
Míle buíochas
