- English translation: Dark Rose, an allusion to Ireland. The song is thought to possibly date from the late 16th Century, with lyrics variously attributed to a poet or camp follower of Aodh Ruadh Ó Domhnaill, possibly Owen Roe MacWard (then dating it to the 17th Century). Róisín Dubh is apparently based on an even older song.
