This is the first time Enya ever performed fully on a song. It's with the band Clannad, from the 1981 album 'Fuaim'.'An tÚll' is Gaelic for 'the apple'.Lyrics in English:I have a new story to tell youIt's good crack and chat over drinkA fine lovely apple I put in my pocketAnd all I found was a seed potatoChorus:Oh sadly my eyes cryAfter that fine yellow appleAnd the lovely young woman who gave it to meAnd I'd give a pound to taste it againI walked Clare Island and Carrig AonorThe bays of Béara Island were before me on the wayPuinte na nGréige and Dorsaí MaolaThe raven and the calf outside of Baoi(Chorus)I walked through Cualach because I was sadThe northern parish and EyeriesOn the Island of Muarseadh a young man told meThat I wouldn't get word of her until I'd tie the knot(Chorus)I walked through Cobh and Baile na MonaCathar Tún Tóime and Sherkin IsOn the east coast someone told meThat it was the laughing stock of Néidín
