'Dónal Óg' is surely one of the most moving of Irish love songs. A song of betrayal, obsession and grief – a young girl's cry of desolation left pregnant and abandoned by her lover Dónal. There are many versions of this song written originally in Gaelic but this one was translated by Frank O’Connor.
