Eibhlí Gheal Chiúin Ní Chearbhaill

Transcribed from John Martyn's album"Inside Out".It's more of a slow air than a waltz.Am I correct in believing that the title means something like "Fair Ellen Of The Hill"?

It literally means "Fair, quiet Eibhlin O' Carroll"

...And the name Eibhlin "translates" (or Anglicizes) into Eily.

Time signatures

can someone explain why this has a time signature of 3/4 when the phrasing of the notes and their structural values tells me it should have a 6/8 time signature. two groups of three quavers does not equate with a 3/4 time signature. I agree that it is a slow air. I play it slightly unphrased. A manuscript in 3/4 proper can be found at www.hsl.org/~gormley/tunes/eibhli.gif as Eibhli Gheal Chiuin. the way it is written there gives a better idea of the note values as long as one is clear that it is not a waltz.

This tune (above and brought back to these comments from the future) was indeed already posted in a different key with a different title "Eibhlí Gheal Chiúin Ní Chearbhaill".
It's on the Chieftains 3.
