That's Fáinne Geal an Lae sung in irish ( as gaeilge ). The tune was composed by Thomas Connellan in the 17th century. The irish lyrics were written later and eventually translated as The Dawning of the Day. Raglan Road is a different song. The lyrics are a poem by Patrick Kavanagh written in 1946. They were put to the tune Fáinne Geal an Lae by Luke Kelly of the Dubliners.
@@tonymolloy6165 Hi, on Wikipedia it says that the song Fáinne Geal an Láe was composed by Edward Walsh. The harp tune by Thomas Connellan is quite different although it has a lot resemblance. I listened to both versions on youtube and they are actually different, have a listen to this: th-cam.com/video/UP5LDxYt1K4/w-d-xo.html

Hello Tony, that is not quite correct, see here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dawning_of_the_Day
@@keaaudio1 What's not correct. They are two unrelated lyrics set to the same tune.
