Yeah Ive finally finished it ! Thanks to Terre Celtiche for confirming that my interpretation of the meaning of the song is correct and my reference to the Mists of Avalon is also correct. Thanks also to the absolutely beautiful ancient Irish language which I have started learning.

After studying the Irish language for the last 8 months, I've corrected some of the Chorus in terms of how it would be pronounced in Irish. Its getting very close to how it is pronounced in the song ! There are many ways of pronouncing the same Irish words which vary across the three major dialects of Munster, Connacht, and Ulster, and then of course how somebody who does not know Gaelige would pronounce it !
