Cearbhall Óg Ó Dálaigh

Cearbhall Óg Ó Dálaigh

Cearbhall Ó Dálaigh (fl. 1630) was a 17th Century Irish language poet and harpist, he composed the song 'Eileanóir a Rún'.

Cearbhall was a common name amongst people of the Ó Dálaigh (O'Daly, Daly) surname, and more than one poet of that surname bore the name Cearbhall. The Cearbhall Óg who composed 'Eileanóir a Rún' was from Pallas, near Gorey in County Wexford. The Eileanóir of the poem was the daughter of Sir Morgan Kavanagh of Poll an Mhóintigh in County Wexford. In folklore Cearbhall is commonly depicted as a womanizer.

Eileanóir a Rún

Irish folklore recounts how Eileanóir Chaomhánach eloped with Cearbhall the day she was about to marry another man. Cearbhall arrived at the wedding to play music at the wedding feast, and fell in love with the bride. He composed the song Eileanoir a Rún to woo the bride.

Other Songs and Poems

Another song, in the style of the crosántacht, "Seachrán Chearbhaill", is ascribed to Cearbhall Óg. Both, a poem by the Franciscan priest Pádraigín Haicéad. addressed to Cearbhall, and Cearbhall's poem in response, survive in a 17th century manuscript. The story "Mac na Míchomhairle" (The Son of Poor Counsil) has been ascribed to him in folklore, but current scholarship casts doubt on this ascription.

A version of Seachrán Chearbhaill by Joe Éinniu is available on a CD with the book "Joe Éinniu: Nár fhágha mé Bás Choíche" by Liam Mac Con Iomaire (Cló Iarchonnachta 2007); and a later version on [Peadar Ó Ceannabháin] 's CD, "Mo Chuid den tSaol" (Cló-Iarchonnachta). The song is recognised as part of the traditional Irish language repertoire of unaccompanied ballads known as 'sean-nós singing'.
