The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.

The song was inspired when my sister, Anna Ní Mhaonaigh, was diagnosed with cancer in the middle of the lockdown. It evokes hope for her healing.
Chum mé an t-amhrán do mo dheirfiúir, Anna Ní Mhaonaigh, mar gur chuala muid i rith mí na Nollaig go raibh ailse uirthi agus bhí mé ag iarraidh uchtach agus biseach a thabhairt díthe. Is seort paidir nó guí chuici é.
