‘An Faoitín (‘Whiting’)
Amhrán é seo ag moladh an Fhaoitín mar bhreac.
Tá cur síos ar an tairbhe atá le baint as na h-aobha agus nach bhfuil a sárú le fáil le n-ithe.
Is sean-amhrán é seo scríobhadh, is cosúil, nuair a bhíodh go leor iascach dá dhéanamh.
This is a song in praise of the whiting.
According to this old fishing song, there is no fish to equal it. This song was written when there was a lot of fishing and fish were plentiful.
