IDER DEIGHRIC 'GUS BREO. AKA - "Idir Aird Mhor Is Eochaill." Irish, Air. A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. The title means "Between Dyrick and Broe," referencing two hills, and two townlands named after the hills, in Leic Dhobhrain (Lickoran) parish in Co. Waterford. A wooing song (unsuccessful) where the suitor promises one thing after another. The first stanza goes:
Idir Aird Mhór is Eocahaill sa ród seal do bhios
Ar chóngar na taoide is í ag tráchaint;
Sea do dhearcas an ógbhean go mómharach binn
'S a cuacha léi ciortha go básta.
Is cailin ó Eochaill í, is eolach dom í,
Is tá sí gan pósadh go bpósfadsa í;
Tá coróin geal I'm phóca 'gus ólfaimid i
Agus fógfaimid siúd mar atá sé.
