minstrel: Shoolin' aroon...

The translation I had heard was, 

Come, come, come my love
Come to me softly, swiftly move
Come to the window and away we'll fly
And safe my love shall be for aye.


I know Gaelic is a strange little language, but could 'suil' mean both 
"come" and "go?"  Hawaiian and Hebrew use the same word as a salutation 
and a farewell (aloha / shalom), but 'suil' is a verb...

Brendan (who may learn a smattering of Gaelic if he lives long enough)
