Song Lyrics to Ta na La

Song Lyrics to Ta na La

On the DVD "Come West Along The Road", there is a song, "Ta 'na La". I am trying to find the lyrics to the particular version sung on the DVD by Sean O Se.

Could someone direct me to a site that has them? Also, been looking for another song, "The Salt" I believe, which I heard from Kevin Conneff many years ago.

Many thanks.

This site is about tunes rather than words. Probably a better place to ask questions like this is at http://www.mudcat.org/

That's a beautiful song all in Gaelige to a lush and incredible old air.

Here's someone's Angleshed vershun:

I might have "The Salt " at home. It's on Conneff's "The Week before Easter" CD.
A dark song, but I liked it. Went down like a lead balloon when I sang it at a singers' session in Galway, so I left it!

I was always convinced it was called Nil na la

Thanks, all --I appreciate the assistance very much.

RockyRoader, I shall have to find and acquire Week Before Easter", I like Conneff very much.

robharper --Thank you, I shall try out mudcat, I have been there before but I thought that asking some of the gentles here might be a good shortcut, as many who post here seem to have a common taste in certain tunes/songs/performers.

Let us not forget:
