Why aren't the words contracted? It's "Níl Sé'n Lá", not "Níl sé ina lá".

I need to review this more thoroughly, including the English transcription, I was kind of studying some Gaelic phonology, but then I didn't take up, just give me some time I'll try to do it in the next days.
One thing, if you know (at least some) Gaelic, exactly on this contraction: do you think I should edit it on the original lyrics as well? I was thinking about that when I was translating and transcribing, but I don't know if it is really necessary (maybe this sentence would be read/sang like this anyway).
Thanks for the comment :)
